Ha ha, fooled you.
Some gems from Ann Coulter's speech at UWO:
Quote:
“As a 17-year-old student of this university, Muslim, should I be converted to Christianity? Second of all, since I don’t have a magic carpet, what other modes do you suggest,” Al-Dhaher said to loud and sustained applause.
“I thought it was just American public schools that produced ignorant people,” Coulter replied, prompting her own round of applause.
Coulter then noted many Japanese were converted to Christianity after the Second World War and “we haven’t heard a peep out of them.”

So I was came across an article in today's Star where basically Mayoral candidate Rocco Rossi insists that he isn't "Right Wing" that he is instead a "pragmatist" he doesn't eat meat (why that would matter in the left-right spectrum is beyond me) and this old chestnut he actually bikes himself! Instead he states he is "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" Shit, if I heard a nickle for everytime I hear that, and further he is neither left nor right both phrases I've heard the Green Party spout for quite some time. Anyways, discuss.

Humberto DaSilva won the Not Rex Murphy contest on rabble. If you missed the contest, you can read about it at: http://rabble.ca/rabbletv/notrex .
Here is Humberto's first Not Rex commentary, on the Greek economic crisis. Athough the Greek Debt Crisis is being blamed on deficits, Wall Street firms have been profiting on Greek debt for years.
Check out the video. Any feedback for Humberto? |
As Liberals and those of the larger activist block I call "Progressives" (those individuals who are not only Liberals but NDPers,Greens and anyone who doesn't like Stephen Harper) have just witnessed a do-nothing budget which will likely lead to a federal election this fall, Progressive activists should take a few moments to think about 2 anniversaries happening this year that could help shape the direction they would like to see the country move towards before and after the next federal election. |
So, I was just reading about Google's "Your interview with Prime Minister Harper" initiative and am curious to see what you folks think of it. It is Harper's way of going directly to "the people" without that messy intermediary of the media, which we all know he wishes didn't exist. I mean, as we saw around the prorogration, he can't even count on the right-wing media to support him anymore. |

Quote: "When I looked down at the West Bank, at the settlements like Crusader forts occupying the high ground, at the Israeli security cordon along the Jordan river closing off the Palestinian lands from Jordan, I knew I was not looking down at a state or the beginnings of one, but at a Bantustan, one of those pseudo-states created in the dying years of apartheid to keep the African population under control." - Michael Ignatieff, The Guardian, April 19, 2002. |
Today was the third time I discovered the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance having one of their press releases reproduced in the form of a Rabble blog post. Here are the other two.

Alberta should consider fining non-voters, says opposition

From my website: http://www.politicallyincorrectandproudofit.net
Canada is pretty much 'recognized as a beacon of 'Human Rights & Democracy. It's been touted as the country that 'successfully' embraces multiculturalism like none other. It's known as the 'Land Of The Strong And Free'. And like most Canadians, I grew up proudly believing it was, with all my heart and soul. |
This article I read in the Toronto Star this week got me thinking; Is it time we abandon the search for Nazi war criminals in Canada? Helmut Oberlander, who has never been found guilty of war crimes but the Federal Copurt has said he lied about his Nazi service during the war is still in Canada. He was a translator for a Nazi mobile killing unit in the Ukraine. No eveidence he ever actively participated in the mass murders but what exactly did a translator do for a Nazi mobile killing unit? He can still be denaturalized and deported for lying about his work as a Nazi translator if the Federal Cabinet moves forward. What do you think?

I have noticed that a good chunk of tax payer money called "The Economic Action Plan" is going to religious institutes here in Hamilton and finally I saw an article that supported my theory from another part the country.

Please let me know if you have seen anything that relates!

First this,
and now this.
With Maurice Vellacott still very darn mad at the idea of gay marriage, and Rob Anders still thinking Nelson Mandela a terrorist and you can see why Harper has them gagged at every opportunity. Let them speak and they'll come out with stuff that helps grow excellent roses.

Kelly McParland of the National Post today published an article oozing with sarcasm and weak humour, pillorying the opposition's ever so outrageous decision to raise questions about the Harper Government's decision to radically change a generation-old status quo in Canadian international development policy favoring modern reproductive practices, access to safe abortion services, sexual education and contraception.
There are times in life where a piece of writing, in tone, argument, substance and spirit is so intolerable one can't help but respond. One sarcastic ideological jape deserves another.
