Ottawa decides not to offend murderous, pinko commies

In a move of political correctness that even amazes me, a monument dedicated to the victims of communism has been deemed offensive. It was originally titled the “monument to the victims of communism”, but it was feared the name would offend any communists in Canada. The name was then changed to the “monument to the victims of totalitarian communism”, but even keeping communism in the name was considered too offensive to communists.

The commission responsible for naming the monument, is now considering the monument “victims of oppressive regimes”. Of course this will offend people who consider themselves to be oppressive, so it will then be changed to the “monument for victims of not-so-nice people of no political affilitation.”

This sort of garbage makes me sick. The communists murdered nearly a hundred million people in the 20th century, and now we’re worried about offending them. I would be about as concerned about offending communists, as I would about offending Nazis. They were both brutal ideologies, that killed millions and have no place in the world today.

What’s the difference between Iran and a pancake?

If Krusty the Clown was to answer that question, the answer would be “I don’t know any pancakes that were nuked by Israel.” When no one laughed, Krusty would immediately follow this with a “What, too soon?”. While this scenario may have seemed far fetched even a week ago, the discovery of a secret Iranian nuclear plant has changed everything.

The newly revealed existence of a secret uranium enrichment facility, could be a disaster for the diplomatic time table that has been laid out for dealing with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Western leaders have been slow to press for sanctions against Iran, since it was believed that a nuclear weapon was years off from being developed. This estimate was based solely on how quickly Iran was processing uranium at their plant in Natanz, under the watchful eye of the IAEA. Thus a second plant, possibly operating with higher quality centrifuges and no IAEA monitoring, means that Iran could be very close to obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said in the past, that the solution to the Middle East crisis is to destroy Israel. He has also stated that “This regime (Israel) will not last long. Do not tie your fate to it … This regime has no future. Its life has come to an end,” These are worrisome words, from a leader who may be nearer than ever to obtaining nuclear weapons.

The clock is ticking for Israel now, as the Israeli ambassador warned the United States, that an Iranian atomic bomb could “wipe Israel off the map in a matter of seconds”, and that the Iranians could “accomplish in a matter of seconds what they denied Hitler did, and kill 6 million Jews, literally.” Israel simply cannot accept a nuclear armed Iran, as the weapon would surely be directed against them.

The situation is reaching critical mass in Iran, and President Obama’s weak words will only incite Israel to act unilaterally. Obama’s reaction to this secret site was to ask for more talks and nicely asking Iran to fulfill its international obligations. A sternly worded letter may even follow if Iran doesn’t start to play nice.

Unfortunately, Barack Hussien Obama is still hoping for peace to break out in the Middle East, after apologizing for American and the West numerous times. This is a man who bowed to the Saudi king, threw Poland and the Czech’s to the Russian bear, and has been quick to condemn the West at every opportunity. Obama is not the man to face down a powerful Iranian regime.

Is there a mole at the Canadian Human Rights Commission?

A person claiming to be a mole in the CHRC has come forward, and is taking credit for leaking sensitive information and documents. There is no way to corroborate this information, so the jury is still out as to whether this is legit or not. If this is real, it will be interesting to see if Jennifer Lynch spontaneously combusts from this news.

I am a CHRC dissenter. I am the reason why Marc Lemire shut down the Freedomsite Message board only 1 month after Richard Warman’s complaint was filed and over 3 months before he ever received a copy.

I am also the reason that Mr. Lemire was able to make direct requests for disclosure of documents that the Commission didn’t even realize “outsiders” knew they had.

I am also the reason that specific questions were led to Commission witnesses in the Warman v. Lemire case.

Michael Coren: The religion of climate change

This is another excellent clip from what I consider to be the best show on Canadian television. This clip focuses on the cult of global warming, and questions the assumptions that surround climate change.

Video of school children being taught to praise Obama

The quality of the video is not the greatest, but it is frightening to watch the indoctrination of these children. This video is reminiscent of the Stalin youth movement, with all the children praising the great and strong leader.

There is no context given for this video, and it may have been done for a specific reason. But I doubt that anything like this would have been accepted for George W. Bush.

Canada leads the way in boycotting Iranian UN speech

Toronto Star – Once again Canada leads the way in boycotting another anti-semitic United Nations meeting. Canada lead the way earlier this year, when it was the first nation to boycott the virulently anti-semitic Durban II.

Canada will boycott a speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad tonight to protest his “absolutely repugnant” comments on the Holocaust and Israel, Prime Minister Stephen Harper says.

Harper today forcefully defended Ottawa’s decision to walk out when the Iranian leader takes the podium at the United Nations in New York tonight.

“There are times when things are being said in this world that it is important that countries that have a moral compass stand up, make their views known. Our absence there will speak volumes,” Harper said during a stop in Oakville.

“Given President Ahmadinejad’s declarations . . . disgraceful, insulting declarations denying the Holocaust, there is no way I’m going to permit any official of the government of Canada to be present and give any legitimacy to remarks by a leader like that,” he said.

There are times when it seems that the U.N should be remaned the “He-man Israeli haters club”.

Richard Dawkins compares creationists to Holocaust deniers

The ever abrasive atheist Richard Dawkins, has compared creationists to Holocaust deniers in a recent interview. While it is every person’s right to believe what they wish to believe, linking creationists to Holocaust deniers is completely over the top. Simply because many people don’t believe in the theory of evolution, does not make them necessarily stupid or evil as Richard Dawkins would have you believe.

It should be noted, that it still is the theory of evolution, and not the law of evolution. There should be no more blind adherence to the theory of evolution, than the book of Genesis. While many noted people of faith do accept the theory of evolution, others believe that God may have been involved in the missing mechanism of evolution. Or they may believe that God set life in motion, creating the first organisms, and allowing it to evolve into man. There are very few Christians who believe the simplistic seven day creation story as Richard Dawkins would have you believe.

Richard Dawkins even goes so far as to say he can disprove the existence of God, with his silly flying spaghetti monster. If there is no God, then he reasons there can be only evolution. But many scientists, including a Cambridge expert on the Big Bang, are saying they can’t explain the creation of the universe, at least without resorting to the religious side.

Of course Richard Dawkins has a long hatred of Christianity, and never misses a chance to attack people of faith. In the past he has compared teaching religion to sexual abuse, and stated that anyone who believes in creation is ignorant, stupid, insane or perhaps wicked. It would seem that the theory of evolution is simply a platform from which Richard Dawkins enjoys attacking Christianity, and occasionally Muslims.

Iranian Police target immodest mannequins

Police in Iran have begun a countrywide crackdown on mannequins that are displayed without the Islamic hijab, or that have any female curves exposed.

The move is part of a crackdown on Western influences and enforcement of dress codes in recent years.

“Un-Islamic behaviour” has been targeted since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s first election in 2005.

“Using unusual mannequins exposing body curves and with heads without hijabs [Muslim veils] are prohibited to be used in the shops,” police said in a statement carried by Irna.

It seems that even that fake women can’t escape the oppression of radical Islam in Iran.

Abortion ‘addict’ has 15 abortions in 16 years

ABC – Irene Vilar, has not only had 15 abortions in 16 years, but now hopes to profit from it. She is releasing a book in October, detailing her ‘courageous’ story of how she ended the life of 15 fetuses.

Irene Vilar worries that her self-described “abortion addiction” will be misunderstood, twisted by the pro-life movement to deny women the right to choose.

Her book, “Impossible Motherhood,” which will be released by Other Press on Oct. 6, chronicles her own dark choices: 15 abortions in 16 years, much of it as a married woman.

As press on the book has begun to leak out, Vilar — a literary agent and editor — says she has already sensed “an inkling of hatred.”

If there is any justice in this world, that ‘inkling of hatred’ will turn into a major backlash for this woman. No one should profit from such a sick act.

Ignatieff doesn’t want male candidates in Quebec

One has to question the  strategy of Michael Ignatieff. It was only a several days ago that the NDP saved Michael Ignatieff from the political equivalent of the Charge of the Light Brigade; a headlong charge into a election that would have destroyed the Liberal Party.

Now Michael Ignatieff has turned to the destruction of the Liberal Party in Quebec. He has rejected former Liberal cabinet minister Martim Cauchon to run in Outremont, based solely on his gender.

I told him that we have been soliciting female candidates and we not only intend to have women candidates, we want them where they can win.

The controversy is a harbinger for other difficulties in the Quebec wing of the party. Coderre has pressured some long-serving MPs with safe seats to resign, according to a number of Liberal sources. They told CBC News the party wants those seats for star female candidates as part of its renewal process.

The sources said former party leader Stéphane Dion, along with Bernard Patry, Raymonde Folco, and Lise Zarac, have all been asked to step aside.
