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!

The True Face of NPR Executives
Remember what NPR CEO & President, Vivian Schiller, said a few days ago about her organization being very middle of the road politically?
Now, courtesy of a hidden camera, the real truth is being revealed:
The full two hour video can be seen here. Pamela Geller has much more.
Defund NPR. Defund PBS. And Defund CBC!!!
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.
The Downfall of a Celebrity
Monday’s Joke of the Day: NPR’s Vivian Schiller
Perhaps the CBC can hire her as a consultant!
How much bigger can it grow?
The American government just recorded their largest monthly budget deficit ever, at $223 Billion in February. Neither party seems serious about cutting it.
Is this what it feels like when a car is racing towards the end of a cliff and both the driver and the passenger have their feet on the gas pedal?
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!
When the Left Attacks the Left
Leftist Vancouver politician Kerry Jang, and his family, have been the victims of threatening phone calls from “progressive” social-housing activists.
Prostitutes Incensed with Harry Reid
Nevada prostitutes think Harry Reid is a very, very naughty boy. He has suddenly, and unexpectedly decided that prostitution, which has been legal in assorted parts of Nevada since the 1970’s, should now be outlawed. At the time of this writing there is no word whether any Nevada prostitutes aim on personally disciplining Senator Reid.

Now is the Time at SDA When We Juxtapose
The United Nations appears to be a little schizophrenic:
November 9, 2010: UN Human Rights Council praises Libya
February 27, 2011: UN Security Council votes to sanction Libya
A bit odd, no? Clearly a “professional”, “competent” organization like the United Nations must have properly vetted Libya in the first place?!?
BC’s New Premier to be Decided
Later today the new premier of British Columbia will be decided via an internal election of the BC Liberal Party. You can follow live coverage of the event on CKNW.

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!
Another Poll Gone Horribly Wrong

Possible New Olympic Event
Rumour has it that Barack Obama is petitioning the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to introduce a new event: The Out of State Dash!
Misused Teacher Union Dues
Michelle Malkin has much more. But remember, if you don’t support the “progressive” agenda then you are “the scum of the earth“!
Here’s a related and fact rich podcast from WABC’s Aaron Klein, especially the segment beginning at 51:00.
