The ‘Occupy’ Leftists vs. John Stossel
Here’s some most interesting insight into the mindset (and hatred) of the twits protesting on Wall Street. Saul Alinsky would be so proud of his disciples!

How dare you Anthony, the Science was Settled!
Thus, the experiment as designed by Mr. Gore does not show the greenhouse effect as we know it in our atmosphere, it does show how heat transfer works and differences in heat transfer rates with different substances, but nothing else.
The NYT Editorial Board Could Not Be Reached For Comment
Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!
New York Times editorial, 2005 – The Supreme Court’s ruling yesterday that the economically troubled city of New London, Conn., can use its power of eminent domain to spur development was a welcome vindication of cities’ ability to act in the public interest. It also is a setback to the “property rights” movement, which is trying to block government from imposing reasonable zoning and environmental regulations.
New York Times, 2011 – “Eminent Domain Fight Has a Canadian Twist: A Canadian company has been threatening to confiscate private land from South Dakota to the Gulf of Mexico, and is already suing many who have refused to allow the Keystone XL pipeline on their property…”

The Israeli army is an open and transparent army. We are conscripted by law but we also serve knowing there is no one else to do so. We serve and risk our lives and in return expect not to be left behind in battle. It’s as simple as that. Everyday Gilad was still behind bars this covenant was getting weaker. A terrible blow would have been served to Israeli society if Shalit’s fate would have been similar to Ron Arad. Gilat Shalit is my brother, he is my son. I want him home.
The Left Coast’s Cesspool of Idiocy
My girlfriend & I returned to Vancouver late Sunday night, after a long drive west from Banff. I hadn’t heard any news in days and was interested to learn what had transpired at ‘Occupy Vancouver’. It fizzled … big time. Make no mistake, the usual Rent-A-Crowd Leftie Dregs were out in full force, as usual with their non-solutions, but nothing more transpired.
Here’s a curious video from the event:

They refused to adapt. They deserve to die.
The proposed law would eliminate 10 elected positions from the board of directors, leaving government appointees. Those five appointees will be in charge of producing a business plan to privatize the board by 2016, with the minister of agriculture to decide whether it’s viable.
If the agriculture minister decides the plan isn’t viable, the government can permanently shut down the Wheat Board.

Spreading The Wealth
Occupy Wall Street protesters said yesterday that packs of brazen crooks within their ranks have been robbing their fellow demonstrators blind, making off with pricey cameras, phones and laptops — and even a hefty bundle of donated cash and food.
“Stealing is our biggest problem at the moment,” said Nan Terrie, 18, a kitchen and legal-team volunteer from Fort Lauderdale.
“I had my Mac stolen — that was like $5,500. Every night, something else is gone. Last night, our entire [kitchen] budget for the day was stolen, so the first thing I had to do was . . . get the message out to our supporters that we needed food!”
Heh.

Pleasing Your Enemies Does Not Turn Them Into Friends
Alinsky rode into town on a one-trick pony that the Left has since turned into its warhorse: Agitate one side’s grievances, and appeal to another side’s decency and gullibility in order to provoke the establishment, whose reaction will unite the other two. Then the community organizer charges in on his nag-turned-steed and proceeds to set the rot in motion under the banner of “progress.”
It is the very devil’s work, and Alinsky certainly made a splendid devil: unctuous and whiny at the same time, and always casting himself as the real, heroic victim standing for progress, when in fact he was a particularly nasty, cowardly kind of cultural vandal.
[…]
Alinskyism forces the Right to always be on the defense, shadow-boxing in a hall of mirrors against a foe whose moral turpitude it refuses to credit. If Alinsky stood for anything, it was, like Lucifer, destruction; the Left’s rage is animated by its lust for demolition, and the sooner the Right stops accepting its pretensions, the quicker the real battle can finally be engaged.

The Canada to USA brain-drain is so yesterday:
“Canada’s stronger economy is becoming a magnet for Americans hunting for work. In a reversal of historical flows, immigration lawyers report a surge of calls from Americans who want to move north. Statistics bear out their observations: A record number of Americans applied for temporary work visas last year, Immigration Canada statistics show, spurred largely by the contrasting health of the two countries’ labor markets.
