The False Logic of Those Using the Race Card over Obamacare

More on the Letterman Debacle

Incidentally, I responded to this comment as follows:

UtahWoman, you wrote: "I do not see this as a left or right issue. I see it as a male vs female issue."

I agree with you that it's not a Left vs. Right issue. But it is NOT a Male vs. Female issue.

I've just spent quite a bit of time arguing with a woman from Saskatchewan named Janice who fully supports David Letterman and deeply criticizes anyone who considers it any more than a "joke". She went on to justify the smearing of any of the Palin daughters as somehow Palin's fault. I never understood her logic but it seems akin to blaming a woman for being raped. Finally, when I asked her how she would feel if the same sort of jokes were leveled at the Obama daughters she said, "they don't have anything to do with this."

That kind of limited thinking is not much different from Joy Behar's, as shown here. Listen to her words but also carefully watch her body language. Then listen to the list of all the women's groups and magazines that refuse to criticize Letterman in any way, shape or form.

A Canadian radio show host, Roy Green, asked a very interesting question today: "How come Don Imus lost his job over derogatory remarks he made about a women's basketball team yet not a thing has happened to David Letterman?" Answer that question and you'll get a sense of how rotten the core of the mainstream media has become.

I go back to Reagan's comment that I referred to earlier: "This is not a Left or Right issue, but an Up or Down one." More precisely, it's about those who believe in those archaic concepts known as "Honor" and "Decency" and those who don't.

Incidentally, a woman has created a Facebook group to demand a REAL apology from Letterman. Think about joining it.

Finally, please know that my outrage would be precisely the same had similar "jokes" been made about Malia or Natasha Obama.

Mayor Robertson Meets Reality

I just heard a woman on the radio named "Lynne" talking about the situation of the two homeless shelters near Beach and Howe. She mentioned that there are now dozens upon dozens of street people living just a block from a preschool, how loud parties are going on all the time, how urinating and fornicating is going on, and how used needles are being found all around the area.

Our "beloved" leader, Mayor Gregor Robertson, was interviewed on the issue here @ 36:00. Listen to the naive twit and see if you gain ANY confidence from what he's saying. If you think I'm being too harsh then read what Alex Tsakumis has to say.

I will never forget when Robertson was running to be my MLA for the first time. He was on a radio talk show which I called and asked him this simple question:

My elderly mother and her friends are getting increasingly scared of being out on the streets. They are getting increasingly harassed by panhandlers. If you're elected, what are you going to do about it?

His answered floored me: "Elderly people like your mother should appreciate all they have and have more empathy for those without." His answer spoke volumes to me and why I'm not surprised one bit about his absolute incompetence on this issue.

With the world media soon to be descending on Vancouver in greater & greater numbers, this will clearly be a story they will (and should!) focus on!!

Charles Krauthammer Responds to Evan Thomas' Pronouncement

In response to this idiotic comment by Newsweek's Evan Thomas, Charles Krauthammer shares his thoughts.

"Climate-change diasters kill 300,000 a year"

That headline is a few weeks old but something I just read today. Incidentally, the misspelling of the "D" word was the Washington Post's, not mine. Here are the first two paragraphs of the story:

LONDON -- Climate-change disasters kill around 300,000 people a year and cause about $125 billion in economic losses, mainly from agriculture, a think-tank led by former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan reported Friday.

The Global Humanitarian Forum also estimated that 325 million people are seriously affected by climate change _ a number it says will double by 2030, as more people are hit by natural disasters or suffer environmental degradation caused by climate change.

I can assert with great confidence that the story and all of the numbers are clearly bogus but yet this is the CRAP that substitutes for real news these days.

Obama's Promises vs. Reality

A Wake-Up Call For the Left

Neverending Green Guilt

This is a landmark editorial by George Will that I believe historians will use as a footnote to mark the end of the Green Death Cult that has suckered in the MSM over the past few years. Thank goodness!

This got me thinking about something . . . in my vision of nirvana the women are lean, fit, & well groomed and the sex with them is passionate and guilt-free.

But in Al Gore's nirvana, the women only use 3 squares of toilet paper per day, only shower once a week from water captured off of the rooftops, and sex with them, to paraphrase Dennis Miller, is extremely neurotic & endlessly dull!

Obama's National Suicide Plan

Alan Caruba has written an excellent piece, comparing Obama's plans with those that were carried out by Britain's Labour governments (and failed badly, by the way). Well worth a read!

Michaëlle Jean vs. Sonia Sotomayor

Rex Murphy provides a fascinating analysis.

Proof Positive of the Idiocy of Multiculturalism

Out of Toronto comes a story about a Muslim man filing a formal complaint because another man said "Good morning" to the Muslim man's wife in their shared apartment building hallway.

A dirty little secret amongst Canadians is that Toronto has been lost to the dumbest, most politically correct policies ever conceived in this country.

Incidentally, for those not aware, there is a HUGE difference between the terms "multicultural" and "multiple cultures". The latter is more commonly associated with the "melting pot" concept where people from all over the world harmoniously blend together under one new nation, under one flag, providing a delightful blend of cuisine, art, music, relationships, etc.

But make no mistake, that is NOT what "multicultural" means. It refers to the belief that all cultures & customs are precisely equal and any questioning of any other culture makes you a bigoted racist.

Toronto has been pushing multiculturalism to the extreme for decades and that is why we end up with situations like in this story.

The Reality in Obamanation

Letter from a Dodge Dealer

The Delusions of the Left

I just heard a guy on the radio say that all conservative political parties are doomed because "smarter, more well educated people" only vote for left-of-center parties.

Really? This might be the nightly wet dream of Leftists the world over but I don't think it holds even a tiny degree of truth.

I wonder how this fellow would explain the massive landslide against his favoured Leftist thinking yesterday in California?!? Oh wait, facts don't actually matter for people like him so such results are irrelevant.

Obama 2nd Big Test

Barack Obama has already had one big test: the financial crisis. Some say that he passed that one. I beg to differ - dramatically. Increasing the U.S. deficit as much as he did is going to put America into a crisis, though it might be delayed for a few years.

Now he's facing his second big test: The Israel-Palestine situation. According to all the Leftist pundits, Obama's charm and "great genius" are able to resolve any problem. Assuming this to be true, this conflict should be easy for him to resolve. After all, the only thing that Israel is asking for is the declaration by the Palestinians that a Jewish Israel has the right to exist.

I'm glad this is all coming to a head because it'll now clearly show Obama for who he truly is.

Barack Obama's Drop in the Bucket

Colin Powell & Other RINOs

Mark Steyn shares his thoughts on the current state of the political divide. Here's a snippet:

Consider this cooing profile of Secretary [Colin] Powell from Todd Purdum in The New York Times back in 2002:

"Mr. Powell's approach to almost all issues – foreign or domestic – is pragmatic and nonideological. He is internationalist, multilateralist and moderate. He has supported abortion rights and affirmative action."

So supporting "internationalism," "multilateralism," abortion and racial quotas means you're "moderate" and "nonideological"? And anyone who feels differently is an extreme ideologue? Absolutely. The aim of a large swath of the Left is not to win the debate but to get it canceled before it starts. You can do that in any number of ways – busting up campus appearances by conservatives, "hate speech" prohibitions, activist judges' more imaginative court decisions, or merely, as the Times does, by declaring your side of every issue to be the "moderate" and "nonideological" position – even when, in many cases, the "extreme" position is supported by a majority of voters. Likewise, to Colin Powell, it's Ann Coulter who's "vicious," not Michael Moore, who compares the jihadists who blow up Western troops in Iraq to America's Minutemen and gets rewarded with a seat next to Jimmy Carter in the presidential box at the Democratic Convention.
