Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Oh my, will this get some attention from toy dinosaur man WK?
I remember reading the soviett constituion back in the 1960s..
quite imporessive
and yet ,it was worthless
So, the Soviet Constitution was a beautiful thing, huh? Could someone please remind me, was it 40 or 60 million people that died under Soviet rule? Kinsella’s Girlfriend is as stupid as all the other revisionist history liberals out there. Just keep trying until you get communism right. It doesn’t matter if you kill 100 million more people doing it. Its for the collective good!
Jeez …. NOT the Trudeaupian “Charter” ?
Birds of a feather. Complete whack-jobs shooting their mouths off like Bushmasters in the hands of a Lieberals.
Absolutely the Trudeaupian Charter, it’s the foundation on which the left has anchored their springboard.
I’m reading it now…not especially beautiful, reads like an Occupy drum circle hepped up on bath salts wrote it:
“It is a society of high organisational capacity, ideological commitment, and consciousness of the working people, who are patriots and internationalists.
It is a society in which the law of life is concern of all for the good of each and concern of each for the good of all.
It is a society of true democracy, the political system of which ensures effective management of all public affairs”
Like, eff, seriously.
The North Korean constitution is beautiful, but only in a point-and-laugh sort of way. Unlike our constitution, it protects private property (article 24): “The State shall protect private property and guarantee the right to inherit it by law.”
The Cuban constitution staunchly defends the family and the traditional definition of marriage:
“ARTICLE 35. The state protects the family, motherhood and matrimony.
The state recognizes the family as the main nucleus of society and attributes to it the important responsibilities and functions in the education and formation of the new generations.
ARTICLE 36. Marriage is the voluntarily established union between a man and a woman”
I thought the convention was for people to actually trade UP and not down…..
No Ted. Words do mean something. Why does the American constitution with its basic premise of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’ stand after 235 years while countries that place a caveat on those words flail away with rewrite after rewrite? For Kerbie to write those words shows an unfathomable ignorance.
Which Soviet constitution — 1924, 1936, or 1977? Or are they all equally beautiful?
I thought Kinsella was married and had children.
Well the Americans are busily reinterpreting their constitution. Scalia is the only supreme court justice advocating for the reinterpretations to end.
She is so perfect for Warren.
Vapid meets stupid and the result is Liberal bliss.
Karma is a wonderful thing.
“Kirbies”
Love it. Must remember it.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone.
Bet she hates Asians as well!
meeeeeeow.
We should try to be like the MSM — and WK — using selective quotations as much as possible. Fight fire with fire.
What do you get if you “squeeze” a Kirbie, I wonder….
Really, does it say anything in the ‘beautiful’ Russian constitution about having a right to not to be dragged off to the gulag or the Lubyanka in the middle of the night for ‘crimes against the state’?
The US Constitution does not talk about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I think her point us that the USSR constitution guaranteed democracy, a free press and minority rights and didn’t deliver any of those things. Yes she is an airhead but this is selective editing.
And now Shaidle says we should aspire to be like Kinsella. I like it when we are better than him, not rolling in the same barnyard.
I DO hope Warren will manage Justin Trudeau’s election campaign in 2015,and bring his girlfiend along on every MSM live interview. We Harper-nazis should be good for another several terms.
btw,is that Ms.Kirby modelling the T-shirt on the right side of “60 inches of Outrage”?
Larry,it’s all very commendable to fight by the Marquis of Queensbury rules, but when the other guy is kicking you in the balls,you’re bound to LOSE.
There is no such thing as “fighting dirty” against Warren Kinsella.
Do you guys even bother to read, or do you just default to kneejerk reactions?
Her point was that it’s a gorgeous sounding constitution, BUT just a buncha useless words if the actions don’t match. She is being critical of the Soviets.
Cripes.
Did the Soviet Constitution say the following beautiful things?
1. If the opposition disarms, all is well and good. If it refuses to disarm, we shall disarm it ourselves.
2. I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.
3. One death is a tragedy. A million is a statistic.
4. We do not want a single foot of foreign territory; but of our territory we shall not surrender a single inch to anyone.
5. Everyone imposes his own system as far as his army can reach. It cannot be otherwise. If now there is not a communist government in Paris, this is only because Russia has no an army which can reach Paris in 1945.
6. In the Soviet Army, it takes more courage to retreat than advance.
7. The Devil’s on my side, he’s a good Communist.
They are divorced or its on its way. The divorce pleadings were the best read ever. If little Lisa has read them and is still with Warren, then she truly is an idiot.
Larry Right you are. Declaration of Independence

It tells a lot about a man who has a airhead for a girlfriend.
A Constitutional protection is a good thing but only effective if it reflects the will of the people, people who have both a tradition and a method of enforcing it.
I’m reminded of the words of the famous U.S. jurist, Judge Learned Hand(his real name)
“Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women, when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it.”
Ezra Levant interviews a current freedom fighter, most intrepid and in part inspired to her activism by the heinous “honour killing” of a Canadian teen.
A salute to Pamela Geller, a New Yorker, who instead of cowering in fear after 9/11 as so many in North America have done, she recognized the threat and became a dedicated partisan in the defense of freedom.

In the context of this post, context is unimportant.
Well, that’s just dishonest. If you think that you have to fight dirty like Kinsella to win, then you’re admitting he’s winning. I hope you are wrong.
john
ever hear of the saying” you are judged by the company you keep”…and no I didn’t read squat, in that she’s Kittensella’s GF says enough for me!!!!
Maybe you should read more and talk less.
There have been lots of beautiful constitutions. That of the Declaration of the Rights of Man used by the First Republic of France embodied many of the best aspects of the US constitution. It still did nothing to prevent the Jacobins from creating a bloodbath during the rule of the Committee of Public Safety. Does that title remind you of anything? Like perhaps the Department of Homeland Security?
Some folks apparently aren’t familiar with the motto of this blog!
“It tells a lot about a man who has a airhead for a girlfriend.”

It tells a lot about an airhead, that she has a Warren Kinsella for a… well, rather her than me.
Just to review:
http://www.fivefeetoffury.com/2012/09/07/warren-kinsella-does-it-again/
“If you think that you have to fight dirty like Kinsella to win, then you’re admitting he’s winning.”
Who said anything about “fighting”? I’m just having fun.
“She is being critical of the Soviets.”
Who cares what this woman has to say about anything? For that matter, who cares what Warren Kinsella has to say on any subject? Not unlike phil or Quebecois NDP, dismal fools such as these only require attention and acknowledgement to give them a completely false sense of somehow being relevant. Granted, it is a great source of hilarity to hold up their pronouncements to well-deserved ridicule, however this loses its luster when one realizes that they are simply too stupid to recognize the fact that they are the subject of ridicule.
Best to just ignore them completely and they will tire of the game and scurry back to obscurity where they belong.
Actually Lisa probably needs Warren a lot more than he needs her right now. After all, she’s the former Director of Government and Regulatory Affairs for Ornge. And we all know how well that worked out.
We have a saying on the farm about tits on a boar. They both fit here but I’m not sure who is the boar.
“They are divorced or its on its way. The divorce pleadings were the best read ever. If little Lisa has read them and is still with Warren, then she truly is an idiot.”
Hey Jeff ,do you have a link to the pleadings?
It’s common knowledge that Winkie and Kirbie met while working to coronate Prince Michael to his rightful position as King of Canada.
Looks like WK and Kirbie more interested in the jiggy rather than the Iggy.
Al, exactly.
The words of a constitution are worthless when you have governments that circumvent the words by having policies like Al mentions or when governments allow start enacting policies that allow the police to search your home without a warrant if they in their wisdom consider a firearm infraction, or when Homeland Security subjects citizens to unwarranted body searches. I am sure others can think of policy issues where governments in North America are taking a page out of the Soviet’s legal system.
Robert Conquest remarks that quoting from the Soviet constitution (whichever one) or even possessing a copy, under Stalin, could be very dangerous to one’s health. And Nikolai Bukharin, much involved with the 1936 version, went to the execution cellars in 1938.
One thing which I would like to see copied in Canadian law from Soviet practice, is the law against “wrecking.” Such a law, and its enforcement, could be helpful in dealing with lawfare by environmentalist trash.
Please, please, bocanut, it is Count Michael – though Pravda referred to him as a duke. As a member of the high aristocracy he is probably comfortable with a constitutional monarchy – so long as the power and the money come mainly to him.
For a depiction of one of his not very distant ancestors, “Flashman at the Charge” is excellent -particularly where Count Nikolai kicks an impudent official in the face, and invites Flashman to do the same.
Well any woman desperate enough to take ol’ Warren for her man has to have a few screws loose.
Kirbies? Well, I guess that is more polite than calling her a cunned stunt I suppose. Not as accurate though…
😉
But I mean that in the NICEST way…
When it comes to a$$holes likes Kinsella there is no such thing as fighting dirty. He’s the kind of douche nozzle that will try to suppress freedom of speech of others that he disagrees with. For that I make it a personal issue to vandalize his books when I see them in the stores. A quick tear of the cover and it will be less likely to be bought by anyone.
And I’m sure government would never overstep its bounds enforcing “wrecking” laws here.
It appears the Jackal’s got her tongue.
She was an organizer on the Ignatieff leadership campaign.
Probably explains why she was hired by liberal stacked ORNGE and her love of communism.
Which reminds me of a great Churchill contribution, which he made in the darkest days of the Second World War, if memory serves, to the British constitution:
“In this country, the only knock on the door at five o’clock in the morning you are likely to get is from the milk man.”
Or words to that effect.
Kirbies
You should know better Kathy. Its an insult to the Vacuum cleaner company Kirby.
Than again they don’t have as much suction power.
