  2. Others were rescued by slave ships…

    In Nigeria, Benin, and Ghana, suspected penis snatchers have been beaten to death by angry mobs. Journalist Frank Bures traveled to Lagos to investigate the issue: “In a typical incident, someone would suddenly yell: Thief! My genitals are gone! Then a culprit would be identified, apprehended, and, often, killed.”

  4. Importing Democrats:
    “A federal judge in Texas late last week accused the Obama administration of aiding drug cartels, saying that instead of enforcing immigration laws, agents knowingly helped smuggle an illegal immigrant girl into the U.S. to live with her mother, also an illegal immigrant, in Virginia.”
    The Washington Times’ article continues –
    “In a 10-page order, Judge Andrew S. Hanen said the case was the fourth such case he’s seen over the last month, and in each instance Customs and Border Protection agents have helped to locate and deliver the children to their illegal immigrant parents…”

  12. Statistics Canada says police recorded 543 homicides in Canada in 2012, down 55 from the previous year, as the country had its lowest homicide rate since 1966. [Homicide ranks about #21 in the most likely ways of dying in Canada]
    …
    Despite the overall decrease in homicide in 2012, fatal shootings increased to 172 from 158 in 2011.
    Although the number of shootings increased in 2012, the rate of firearm-related homicides remained among the lowest in almost 50 years.
    About 65 per cent of firearm homicides involved handguns.
    Shootings accounted for a third of all killings while 31 per cent involved stabbing.
    Gang-related homicides were unchanged in 2012 from previous two years, with 95 deaths.
    The rate of gang killings remained stable for the third year in a row at 0.27 victims for every 100,000 population. Prior to this, gang-related homicides had generally been increasing since the early 1990s, until peaking in 2008.
    The data say most homicide victims knew their killer. Among solved homicides in 2012, 84 per cent of homicide victims were killed by an acquaintance or a family member. The number of homicides committed by strangers decreased slightly in 2012, resulting in the lowest rate of stranger homicide in more than 40 years.
    Police reported 82 intimate partner homicides in 2012, with 83 per cent involving a female victim. The rate of intimate partner homicide in 2012 was consistent with rates recorded over the previous five years.
    There were fewer homicides committed by youths in 2012 than the previous year, with the youth homicide rate dropping to 1.42 for each 100,000 population, the lowest rate in over a decade.

  15. Obama Repeals ObamaCare
    Under pressure from Senate Democrats, the President partly suspends the individual mandate.
    http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304367204579270252042143502
    Millions of individuals whose health plans were canceled will now automatically qualify for a “hardship exemption” from the mandate.
    If they can’t or don’t sign up for a new plan, they don’t have to pay the tax. They can also get a special category of ObamaCare insurance designed for people under age 30.
    –
    I believe these new policies will be the same ones we had before the Democrats came in and F#cked up everybody’s health insurance..

  16. CAGW PR: Green-Red Boring.
    Catastrophic Anthropogenic (man-made/caused) Global Warming? “It’s over.”
    …-
    “Spiegel Interview With Film-Maker: Climate Communication A Huge Failure…”Most Boring Subject On Earth”!”
    “Scientist turned film-maker Randy Olson is interviewed here by Spiegel Online’s science journalist Axel Bojanowski. From the interview it becomes glaringly clear that the AGW movement has failed to communicate its message of climate catastrophe and the need to profoundly re-order society. It’s over.”

  17. New Mexico and Utah have legalized gay marriage.
    –
    Great, now they can reinstate Polygamy.
    Much better having more than one wife,
    than having more than one gay sex partner.
    Women have more to offer..

  18. Joe Molnar, the 81 year old Woodstock Ontario resident intends to petition the present Government of Canada to amend the Constitution of Canada to enshrine “PROPERTY RIGHTS” into the Canadian Constitution by collecting signatures from millions of Canadian as he walks, rides a bicycle, or rides a DONKEY across Canada, but old JOe needs the use of a very modest mobile home, which his wife Anna can drive and live in ( on their own dime) while OLD JOe collects signatures.
    OLD JOE, wants a private sponsor to step up and loan such a vehicle to the MOLNARS while OLD JOE collects millions of like minded Canadian supporters to sign his petition (shown below the dotted line), forcing the Canadian Government to enshrine “PROPERTY RIGHTS” as the Law of the LAND of CANADA!
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………..

    THE LAW of Canada!
    THEREFORE: Your petitioners call upon Parliament to forthwith, incorporate and entrench FOREVER , individual “PROPERTY RIGHTS” INTO THE CONSTITUTION OF CANADA.
    Post Script:

  20. In another example of corporate suicide, Cracker Barrel Restaurants have announced that they are pulling Phil Robertson merchandise from their shelves.
    We all know that their main customer demographic has always been the intolerant anti christian PC crowd.

  23. The real reason Harper must go:
    “The feared, the beard or the weird: Pick one:”
    http://www.canada.com/news/feared+beard+weird+Pick/9314119/story.html
    A taste:
    “There had been some doubt about Stephen Harper. The prime minister’s critics in the press had been saying he was past his best-before date, that he was damaged beyond repair, that he should and, any day now, probably would step down … They wish. Harper, who has never even hinted that he might do otherwise, this week confirmed that he’s not going anywhere. And why would he? He will be looking at the cranky Thomas Mulcair and the flaky Justin Trudeau and thinking, I am going to demolish these guys. That’s what his critics are afraid of.”

  24. Oh, and another thing:
    Steyn stains A&E, GLAAD and apparently Pajama Boy:
    The Age of Intolerance: The forces of “tolerance” are intolerant of anything less than full-blown celebratory approval:
    http://www.nationalreview.com/article/366896/age-intolerance-mark-steyn
    A bit long, but sums it up nicely – ain’t it amazing how the “progressives” who man the barricades for “social justice” turn out to be the ultimate totalitarians:
    “GLAAD — ‘the gatekeepers of politically correct gayness, as the (gay) novelist Bret Easton Ellis sneered — saw their opportunity and seized it. By taking out TV’s leading cable star (Phil Robertson – Duck Dynasty), they would teach an important lesson pour encourager les autres — that espousing conventional Christian morality, even off-air, is incompatible with American celebrity … America’s much-vaunted “freedom of religion” is dwindling down to something you can exercise behind closed doors in the privacy of your own abode or at a specialist venue for those of such tastes for an hour or so on Sunday morning, but when you enter the public square you have to leave your faith back home hanging in the closet … Yet even this reductive consolation is not permitted to Robertson: GLAAD spokesgay Wilson Cruz declared that “Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil’s lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe.” Robertson was quoting the New Testament, but hey, what do those guys know? In today’s America, land of the Obamacare Pajama Boy, Jesus is basically Nightshirt Boy, a fey non-judgmental dweeb who’s cool with whatever. What GLAAD is attempting would be called, were it applied to any other identity group, “cultural appropriation.”
    Merry Christmas to all and yes, Happy Holidays too from Shamrock and family.

  27. Well joe you have my support and my signature if where and when required. If I had a motor home I would loan it to you. Could you also push for open carry and concealed carry as a part of property rights and the castle law and the ability to protect such property?

  28. Joe…You have been posting these in Reader’s tips for awhile and I hope Kate doesn’t mind that I use readers tips to congratulate you, and to say how much I appreciate your stamina and determination.
    I have read many of your great comments on conservative blogs over the years, so it feels like we are ‘old friends’. Hope you get that motor home.

  29. Thanks ‘bluetech’, I may be nearing my second childhood,so believing that Santa or some truly wealthy SDA reader may deliver my need is still percolating in the IDEA bank !
    Sadly, unless I win a lottery my fixed income budget just cannot handle the modest mobile home for the time needed while I attempt a petition walk across this broad land.
    I have ridden horses bareback and jogged standradbreds in a training jog cart, but riding a DONKEY might be the highlight of a cross country trip.
    Only 4 more sleeps to see if SANTA can deliver, ‘bluetech’ !!
