Liberal Viewpoints vs. Mental Delusions

This recent commentary by Bill O’Reilly is most fascinating. Listen very carefully to what the liberal pundits are espousing.
Isn’t it absolutely amazing how a group of individuals can invent a complete delusion about threats from “far right Christians”? No evidence, no facts, no nothing. In the old days one would say that such individuals had mental delusions and needed to be under the care of a psychiatrist. Does it now just suffice to say, “Oh don’t mind him, he’s just a liberal” ?

 Helping out ‘Friends of the CBC’ – the SDA Way!

In a previous thread, several commenters pointed out that a write-in campaign has been started by the “Sycophants Friends of the CBC”. Their intent is to stop the federal gov’t from cutting funds to the CBC. Perhaps you have a somewhat different view?! Feel free to use their web page as a template for your thoughts but also be sure to copy & paste your thoughts to Stephen Harper’s office directly. Also don’t hesitate to share your e-mail in the comments here.
If you’re stumped for ideas, you might want to watch this video by Lee Doren. Whenever you hear or see “NPR” or “PBS”, just substitute in “CBC”!

The Details Behind the NPR Sting

Here’s a link to a pair of videos where you can hear interviews of Hugh Hewitt talking with James O’Keefe and Andrew Breitbart about the recent NPR sting. It’s absolutely fascinating!
When will some enterprising young journalists do a similar exposé on CBC execs? I have little doubt that the latter would be espousing similar or worse views about Canadian conservatives!

Muhammad Yunus: “Credit should be a human right”

Looks like Paul Krugman has competition in the area of hairbrain “progressive” ideas. Bangladeshi economist, Muhammad Yunus, is insisting that guaranteed credit for everyone should be a “human right”. Hmmm, what could possibly go wrong with this idea, if implemented?!
Turns out we don’t need to look very far into history to find out. This article and this one too are well worth a read. Here’s an excerpt from the former:

The story of Boiana and of Palivelupa is that of a good idea gone dras­tically wrong, dev­astating the lives of millions of des­perately poor people, threat­ening a bank­ing cri­sis and re­vealing the dark side of India’s eco­nom­ic growth. Pio­neered in Bangladesh in the late 1970s, micro­finance in­volves grant­ing small loans that no conventional bank would give to the very poor, al­lowing them to launch small-scale eco­nom­ic ven­tures. Around 30 million house­holds in India have received £4bn in such loans over the past 15 years.
In re­cent months, howev­er, the indus­try has been thrown into cri­sis as it has become clear that a signif­icant number of borrowers – be­tween a tenth and a third, depending on the es­ti­mate – cannot afford to repay their loans.

February 28, 2001: The Nisqually Earthquake

When the recent earthquake in Christchurch, NZ occurred I immediately contacted a friend of mine whose husband is a Kiwi and still has lots of family down there. At the tail end of our conversation she reminded me of the earthquake that occurred 10 years ago on the West Coast of North America.
The Nisqually Earthquake hit at 10:54am on Feb. 28, 2001. In the minutes before I happened to be in my 12th Floor Vancouver apartment, talking on the phone with one of my colleagues, who was over at our office in Victoria. The shock wave hit there first so I had about 10 seconds to prepare before it arrived in Vancouver. That was the LONGEST 10 SECONDS of my life!!!
Here are some more personal stories from that day, here is what it looked like inside of Microsoft in Redmond, WA when the quake hit, and here’s a fairly comprehensive video about the event and its after effects.
If you’ve ever been in the midst of a large scale natural event, please do share your story!

Canadian Leftist Blindness on Display


This video from Michael Coren’s show, courteously uploaded by Matt from Mississauga, is focused on recent happenings in America. Carefully listen to Toronto Newstalk 1010’s Britt Aharoni and you will hear a deep seated antipathy, if not hatred, for U.S. conservatives and libertarians, that rivals another Big Smoke “journalist” named Heather Mallick. Ms. Aharoni is completely blind to anything untoward that might possibly come out of the mouths of someone on the Left side of the political spectrum.
Do you think Bob Rae’s recent comment about Jihadists working in PM Harper’s office offended her? Unlikely. Do you think Mass. Representative Mike Capuano’s recent calls for violence against Tea Party members gave her pause for thought? Unlikely. Do you think that the campaign of vilification against Jews raged by the man to her right, the despicable Sid Ryan, has kept her awake at night? Unlikely.
Ms. Aharoni is typical of the vast majority of members of Canada’s Mainstream Media who deem themselves to be “liberals”. In their newsrooms, cocktail parties, and other bubble chambers they repeatedly tell each other how righteous and free thinking and unbiased they are. The reality is far, far afield from such group think delusions. This is a huge reason why an ever increasing number of Canadians feel alienated from them and no longer take them seriously.
As 2011 unfolds and a possible federal election campaign transpires, keep very clear in your mind that Britt Aharoni and other close-minded clones like her are the ones filtering the “news” you’ll be getting from Canada’s MSM. The Truth Is Out There but it sure ain’t comin’ from them!
