Everybody knows how low you can bow and how high you can go praising America's enemies and apologizing to them all over the world. Let's see you doing the same some more, this time with the allies of the USA.... if you can remember who they are.
The Obama administration makes an art form out of wrongly apologising for America’s past on the world stage, usually before America-hating audiences – witness Barack Obama’s embarrassing speeches at the United Nations, Strasbourg and Cairo critical of the war in Iraq and the War on Terror. It goes to great lengths to appease America’s enemies such as Iran in the name of “constructive engagement”, grovels before Vladimir Putin’s Russia to secure a dangerous new START Treaty that threatens US security, and extends the hand of friendship to genocidal regimes such as Sudan. In the meantime, key US allies from Israel to Poland are given short shrift, under a failing foreign policy whose mantra seems to be “kiss your enemies, kick your allies.”................

1) Russian spies in UK? Of course not! Russia is a good, decent nation... yes, it is ! They would never think of spying on anyone, leave alone the UK.

4) Good writeup on Palin at PajamasMedia
5) What's happened to the public transit drivers in Ontario? This is unbelievable.

Sarah Palin is a dead shot
I am willing to bet the leftosphere in the USA.... and I bet here too in Canada and everywhere else is going to go bonkers calling her all sort of names, but the one they will not use is "dead shot" for her hunting skills. Calling Palin a "dead shot" would convey to those thick-skulled nitwits that when she focuses her sights on something or someone, she gets her target and that's like saying the WH is already hers. None of them are able to entertain that thought without getting a migraine. In yesterday's episode of Sarah Palin's Alaska, she was on a hunting trip with her dad and shot a caribou straight in the heart.
Oh, I forgot ! Besides, the freaky Left, PETA is going to go into fits and thrash all over the floor flapping around like fish gasping for their last breath. Oh... happy image !!!
Suddenly, someone at the New York Times talks sense....
now if only they could use their common sense and buy Oil only from Canada instead of the Middle East. Is that too difficult for you Americans to understand ? We, your neighbour Canada, we have all the oil that your heart desires, and yet you let manipulators in your midst to make you buy from those countries that want to see your demise. Wake up and cast your eyes northwards, see and buy our oil and tell those countries that would wish you harm to go to hell .... oh wait, that's where they are located anyway.
....When we import $28 billion a month in oil, we can’t say to the Saudis: “We know the guys who would come after you would be much worse, but why do we have to choose between your misrule and corruption and their brutality and intolerance?” We’re just stuck supporting a regime that, sure, fights Al Qaeda at home, but uses our money to fund a religious ideology, schools, mosques and books that ensure that Al Qaeda will always have a rich pool of recruits in Saudi Arabia and abroad. We also lack leverage with the Chinese on North Korea, or with regard to the value of China’s currency, because we’re addicted to their credit.
Geopolitics is all about leverage. We cannot make ourselves safer abroad unless we change our behavior at home. But our politics never connects the two.
Think how different our conversations with Saudi Arabia would be if we were in the process of converting to electric cars powered by nuclear, wind, domestic natural gas and solar power? We could tell them that if we detect one more dollar of Saudi money going to the Taliban then they can protect themselves from Iran.
Think how different our conversations with China would be if we had had a different savings rate the past 30 years and China was not holding $900 billion in U.S. Treasury securities — but was still dependent on the U.S. economy and technology. We would not be begging them to revalue their currency, and maybe our request that China prevent North Korea from shipping ballistic missile parts to Iran via Beijing airport (also in the cables) wouldn’t be rebuffed so brusquely. .....

Like I always said: "Saudi Arabia is another malignant tumor" just like Pakistan
If these two countries are nuked into dusty nothing..... then other countries, maybe, will get a chance to live in peace and harmony with each other. It didn't require Julian Assange to divulge data about the pure evil emitting from Saudi Arabia.... all you needed to do was make use of those grey cells inside your skull to realize how rotten and putrid was the main country of the head bangers. That head banging umpteen times a day does not do anybody any good, not for the Saudis, not for the Qataris, not for the Kuwaitis and not for the moslems in the UAE. These 4 countries make up the largest bunch of fundamentalist financiers of evil.
Don't forget the Canadian Left had their knickers in a twist because we lost some stink hole military airport in the UAE because we didn't give in to their blackmail of letting their airlines have extensive landing rights in Canada.
Saudi Arabia is the world's largest source of funds for Islamist militant groupssuch as the Afghan Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba – but the Saudi government is reluctant to stem the flow of money, according to Hillary Clinton.
"More needs to be done since Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups," says a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state. Her memo urged US diplomats to redouble their efforts to stop Gulf money reaching extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide," she said.
Three other Arab countries are listed as sources of militant money: Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates........

Geert Wilders speaks in Israel ... Dec 5, 2010
Excellent speech by the one and only Geert Wilders. A true visionary of our times.... the man hated by the moslems and the Left alike .... for speaking the truth. Spray some truth around and it's effects are better than Mace in the faces of evil incarnate. I consider this speech of Wilders as one that will go down in history as one of the greatest speeches of all time. The cohones on this man must be weighing tonnes.
Let me start by saying that it is with great sadness that I share your grief over the deaths of more than 40 brave Israelis who lost their lives — many while trying to save others in the great fire near Haifa. My country, the Netherlands, is amongst other countries helping to put down this fire, which is threatening the lives and property of thousands of your compatriots. I offer my heartfelt condolences to the families of those who perished. My thoughts are with them.
Israel is an immense source of inspiration for me. When I came to your country for the first time as a teenager, I lived here for a year.
I am not ashamed to stand with Israel, but proud. I am grateful to Israel. I will always defend Israel. Your country is the cradle of Western civilization. We call it the Judeo-Christian civilization with good reason.
Israel is often being treated unfairly. The world looks at the plight of the Palestinians in refugee camps in Lebanon, Gaza, and other places, and many blame Israel. The UN claims that there are over 4.7 million Palestinian refugees, and many blame Israel. These voices say the Palestinians should be allowed to return to “Palestine.” But where is Palestine? Many say Israel must solve the problems of Palestine. But is Israel guilty of the plight of the Palestinian refugees?
My answer is “No.” The Arab leaders are to be blamed — and Islam is to be blamed. Let me first tell you why, and then I will tell you where Palestine can be found.
At the end of World War II, there were 50 million refugees. Today, all the refugee problems dating from before the 1950s have been solved. All, except one — the problem of the Palestinians.
Why did this problem not get solved? The reason is simple: Because the Arab countries did not allow it to get solved. And because Islam does not allow it to get solved.
.
In May 1948, the number of Jews in the Arab countries was estimated to be close to 1 million. Today, fewer than 8,000 Jews are left in the entire Arab world. In 1948, the Arab countries forced the Jews out and confiscated their properties. More Jews fled the Arab countries than Arabs fled Israel. Where are the Jewish refugee camps? There are none
So, why are there refugee camps for Palestinians in areas surrounding Israel? Because the Palestinians were not welcomed in the neighboring Arab countries. There was no Arab solidarity; the refugees were forced into camps and slums, where many of their descendants still linger today.
Under international definitions the status of refugee or displaced person only applies to first generation refugees. However, the UN makes an exception for Palestinians. Descendants of Palestinian refugees are granted the same refugee status as their ancestors. Consequently, the number of so-called Palestinian refugees registered with the UN increased from 711,000 in 1950 to over 4.7 million in 2010. These refugees are being used as a demographic weapon against Israel.
Instead of blaming the inhospitable Arab regimes, many blame Israel.............

Those putrid cave dwellers !!!
The scum of the earth that our Canadian Left aligns with, are dancing with joy at Israel's plight and the loss of life in the recent fire which has still not been put out completely. This is the kind of scum that our Canadian govt is importing into Canada in hundreds of thousands every single year and forcing decent minded Canadians to live with them or else.
Where Israel and the Jewish people are concerned, this is the typical mindset of 99.9% of moslems in this country. I am willing to bet my bottom dollar on it. I have friends in the moslem community here (pick up that jaw from the floor... and I will continue) and although they look, talk, walk, dress, live all enlightened and modern..... all you have to do to bring out the caveman mentality is mention the word "Israel".
Many Arabs also strongly condemned Egypt and Jordan for agreeing to help in extinguishing the blaze.
Others called on Israel’s enemies, particularly Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah, to seize the opportunity and try to wipe Israel off the face of earth. Only a few readers and viewers expressed sympathy with Israel over the tragedy and loss of many lives.
Following is a sample of the comments that have appeared over the past few days in the Arab media:
“May Allah punish all Arabs who helped put down the fire.
We pray to Allah that the fire will grow and spread to oil wells in the Arab world.” “O Allah, burn them [Jews] before the Day of Judgement.
O Allah, destroy them and all the enemies of Islam.”
“May Allah take revenge against them and displace them together with our corrupt [Arab] governments.”
“This is the right time for Iran. If one fire has caused panic in the Zionist entity, where are Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah? And where is Syria? One rocket could set thousands of fires.”
“Allah gives time, but never neglects. The Israelis are being punished for their deeds. We hope their end is nearing.”
“Sounds strange that Arabs are sending aid to our enemies. Allah is punishing the Jews by making the fire. No military force or US veto can stop the fire.”
“Thank God for this new Holocaust and shame on the Egyptian authorities who rushed to save the Zionists while continuing to lay siege against our brothers in the Gaza Strip.”
“Thank God for burning the Jews the same way they burned our Muslim brothers in Palestine.”............
And, there's lots more at a website that's owned by an entity that operates in Canada.... Al Jazeera. I hope everybody who were instrumental in granting licences to Al Jazeera so it could spew it's garbage into Canadian ears.... is happy now, or happier if your motive was malicious to start with.
Muslim.net, owned and operated by Aljazeera Publishing, published a series of posts about the fire raging through Northern Israel which can only be described as a celebration of the death, carnage, and misery caused by the blaze. Though the post is in Arabic, Google Translate, along with the grotesque imagery, provides sufficient context to conclude that the prose and accompanying photos indeed represent a celebration of the death of Jews......

Is America going the way of Britianistan and Canadistan ... looks that way ..... Part Five
ABC all standing firming in the cavemen's corner. A=America, B=Britian, C=Canada.
Cavemen wins, ABC are suckers of the first order.
1) Big revenues for Jihadi causes actually come from UN which is largely funded by the US. United Nations Development Program: £1.6 million; United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees: £0.9 million
2) Probe reveals that some Muslims Attending Capitol Hill Prayer Group Have Terror Ties
3) Recent events show many moslems shifting from ideological to Operational modes. Duh ?!
Part II : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOGhgRyv7ts&feature=related
4) US Moslems declare outright war on America and the American courts play nice because moslems are a special breed... didn't you know.
5) If the US prez is called a prick you get banned from entering USA. However, if you want to blow up Americans, you are welcomed.
6) Moslems best buys are shirts showing "gotcha" on twin towers. Nice ... eh? And selling these in the USA... nicer, eh? I wonder if Canadian muzzies are also selling these "most sought after goodies" somewhere in Toronto as well.
7) State Department is sending millions of dollars to save mosques overseas. You can't make this stuff up !!

Rats leaving a sinking ship ....
this is so funny !! Politicians are mostly rats anyway.... some are bigger than others and some are slyer than their cohorts. The slyer democrats are going by the nature of the last 3 letters from the prefix to their names. How fitting is that !!!
Adding insult to injury for their party, at least 13 Democratic state lawmakers have joined the Republican ranks since Election Day -- deepening GOP gains and in one case handing the party the state House majority.
Democrats in five states have switched parties since Nov. 2, citing concerns about the economy and the political leanings of their constituents. The defections are a troubling sign for state Democratic operations clinging to life following their election drubbing. Though Republicans' congressional gains drew more attention, the party picked up more than 675 seats at the state level last month and in some cases took over entire state capitals......

British moslem website encourages further attacks on MPs ....
like the stabbing attack on MP Stephen Timms that was carried out by a moslem woman. This news is from a month ago, but I had missed it somehow. Your days are numbered Britainistan... whether you want to hear it or not.
Next stop ... Canadistan. Our government is waiting with open arms for the moslem all consuming embrace. There must be some unknown kind orgasmic pleasures one derives from cavemen and their ideology that only some of us are allergic to. The rest, especially the Canadian govt.,are immune to such allergies....lucky them...eh?
The vid at the bottom is from 2 years ago. The very few people who think like Pat Condell are a dying breed... that is the reason why taking over our countries by the islamic cavemen will be like taking candy from a toddler.
....She told police she had visited the Revolution Muslim website and watched videos on Youtube by Anwar al-Awlaki, one of the leaders of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular.
“We ask Allah to keep her safe and secure, to hasten her release and to reward this heroine immensely,” it said.
“We ask Allah for her action to inspire Muslims to raise the knife of jihad against those who voted for the countless rapes, murders, pillages, and torture of Muslim civilians as a direct consequence of their vote.”
The statement added: “If you want to track an MP, you can find out their personal website after typing their name in this website.
“In their personal website, you can usually find the time and location of their surgeries where you can encounter them in person.”
The site then lists the 139 Conservative MPs that voted for the war and the 244 Labour MPs.
It said that no Liberal Democrats voted for the war but added: “They have now formed a coalition government with the Conservatives.”
Accompanying the statement is a prayer in Arabic to “destroy your enemy and the enemies of Islam” naming Mr Timms and the judge in the case, Jeremy Cooke. .....

Daniel Pipes on the past and present Iran and Turkey
Great analysis by the researcher, analyst and historian, Dr.Pipes. But of course, only bigots, hatemongers and psycotic individuals like myself agree with and admire Dr. Pipes' work. Everybody else, especially those freakish lefties, are angels who spout new spotless wings every single day and soar high in the sky as beatific and pure as the driven snow.
Early in the sixteenth century, as the Ottoman and Safavid empires fought for control of the Middle East, Selim the Grim ruling from Istanbul indulged his artistic side by composing distinguished poetry in Persian, then the Middle East's language of high culture. Simultaneously, Ismail I ruling from Isfahan wrote poetry in Turkish, his ancestral language.
This juxtaposition comes to mind as the populations of Turkey and Iran now engage in another exchange. As the secular Turkey founded by Atatürk threatens to disappear under a wave of Islamism, the Islamist Iranian state founded by Khomeini apparently teeters, on the brink of secularism. Turks wish to live like Iranians, ironically, and Iranians like Turks.
Turkey and Iran are large, influential, and relatively advanced Muslim-majority countries, historically central, strategically placed, and widely watched; as they cross paths, I predicted back in 1994, racing in opposite directions, their destinies will affect not just the future of the Middle East but potentially the entire Muslim world.
That is now happening...............

Worth reading on a Friday evening
1) Oregon terrorist and the dhimmitude of Portland authorities. They want to defend the would be killer of possibly hundreds of innocent people as a victim of FBI entrapment. With this kind of mindset, do you still really, really think there is any hope for the West?
2) Coldest November in Norway in living history. There goes the warmists' theories.... pop...pop.... splash...splat... done.
3) Try to check out some of the websites listed in my blogroll on the right of this page. You will be amazed at the treasure troves you will come across, for example, like this blog, from Deborah Gyapong about her day on Parliament Hill.
4) Bush surprises troops in Baghdad with a secret Thanksgiving visit.
5) What the wikileaks have revealed about muzzies and their thought processes. Read how Sunni muzzies want to do the Shia muzzies in and vice versa. Please dear God....I wish they could each be granted their wishes. After that.....Oh wonderful world !!!
6) 2 students at Queen's University, Kingston, fall through library skylight and one dies in the fall. Terrible tragedy, the young guy was just 19 yrs old.... a foreign student.

Boycott Eaton Centre this Christmas season or how "Grinch Eaton" stole Christmas
The main reason shoppers wander over to the Eaton Centre during the Christimas season is to see all the festive decorations and to listen to the chimes of Christmas music AND the Salvation Army yuletide bells should be a part of this scenario. So, it is an extremely sad turn of events to see the pioneer trading company of Canada, Eaton, sharpening their knives to kill Christmas and thus going down the road of extinction. Boycott them..... there are thousands of other shopping malls and stores all over Toronto where your business will be more welcomed along with your Christianity.
They don’t seem to mind if those Eaton Centre Christmas cash registers ring loudly.
It’s the Salvation Army Yuletide bells they have a problem with.
Scrooge, The Grinch and Cadillac Fairview?
The good news is the first two eventually changed their minds on their Ba! Humbug ways.
The massive real estate giant was still holding firm late Thursday on the policy of not allowing the Salvation Christmas kettle campaign volunteers to ring a tiny red bell to draw attention to their donation kettles.
We’ll see if they still have the stomach for it Friday as the story goes viral around the cyberworld.
“The arrangement not to ring the bells has been a mutual one,” explained Eaton Centre GM Susan Allen of the agreement reached eight years ago. “They have never asked us to change it.”
She said she is “disappointed” with the attention because the real focus should be on the fundraising of which they are very supportive.
But the optics are ugly as people ask, “what the heck is wrong with a little Christmas spirit in a place where thousands are out Christmas shopping?”..........

The massive real estate giant was still holding firm late Thursday on the policy of not allowing the Salvation Christmas kettle campaign volunteers to ring a tiny red bell to draw attention to their donation kettles.
We’ll see if they still have the stomach for it Friday as the story goes viral around the cyberworld.
“The arrangement not to ring the bells has been a mutual one,” explained Eaton Centre GM Susan Allen of the agreement reached eight years ago. “They have never asked us to change it.”
She said she is “disappointed” with the attention because the real focus should be on the fundraising of which they are very supportive.
But the optics are ugly as people ask, “what the heck is wrong with a little Christmas spirit in a place where thousands are out Christmas shopping?”..........
Things that drive lefties higher up the wall
Something is making the British lefties even freakier than they already are. According to blogger Ed West in The Telegraph, the freaks have gone bonkers talking about the upcoming royal wedding and how it will cost tonnes of money and why they can't stand the endless grovelling to the royal family, blah, blah, blah. The lefties at the Guardian, where they nest in hordes, have already started clawing at everybody and anybody.
Now, let's hope that Prince Andrew too decides to tie the knot and keep the royal weddings going one after another so we can hear the pop, pop, pop of freaks exploding all over.
.........But as well as wishing Prince William and Kate Middleton well on a personal level (considering his childhood, he seems to have turned out remarkably normal, far more normal than most of my friends, and a gentleman to boot), the royal wedding news has cheered me up tremendously – for the simple reason that it’s going to drive Lefties mental.
It’s already started at the Guardian, with lots of carping about the cost of the wedding (which as an argument is a non-starter, since it will almost certainly boost the economy) and about the endless grovelling towards the aristocracy. Over the next few months we’ll see the urban middle class (of which I am a member) doing what they love best – class hatred, both towards those above them and those below, whose patriotism they especially despise........

Labor Unions are serial killers of jobs and entire industries
America's graveyard where the once robust companies are died and buried because of the labor unions' greed is vast and growing even bigger.
At one time, way back in the past, labor unions were definitely needed and those running them were to be admired. We have come a long way from those days when workers needed to be protected from the whims and wiles of the management. Now, at most times it seems the whims and wiles are played out by the workers at the instigation of their Union bosses.
I wonder if the workers know how much of their membership fees are diverted towards propping up candidates that the labor union overlords deem suitable... and how they prop such candidates ... with the collective booty from the workers?
In today's news 1000 workers stand to lose their jobs. Pharmaceutical distributor Express Scripts, unable to reach an agreement with union officials, is closing two plants in Bensalem.
At Express Scripts, the other shoe dropped Wednesday. Citing an impasse at the bargaining table, Express Scripts announced that, on Feb. 1, it will close its Street Road plant, the larger of its two Bensalem facilities. .....
In Canada too, unfortunately, we have our share of similar Union overlords, too cocksure of themselves and either too greedy or too unwilling to accept new concepts but forever ready to sacrifice the jobs of their members without a single thought.
When will workers come to the realization that the Union overlords are nothing but slave master who are willing to kill off their livelihood without the least bit of consideration?

The righteous rage of an Austrian MP and other Interesting stuff
Watch the video below. There will be other people like this MP who will start coming out and speaking their minds in order to control the onward tide of islamization of our countries. Unfortunately, I fear, their number will not be large enough or strong enough and the Left and other dhimmis will label such individuals as pyscotic, bigoted, islamophobic and everything else that is degrading in order to silence them.

This is a feel good video. Austrian MP lashes out at Turkish Ambassador. I am so glad he brought up the beheading of the Catholic bishiop in Turkey. This is called "lashing out" and is seen in this great video in all it's glory.
2) On gay marriage debates in Australia
3) What makes Julian Assange tick?
4) Letters to The NYTimes... yup they are as much to blame as Julian Assange for publishing the leaks.

Asra Nomani wants airports to conduct racial profiling. Admits sadly that the terrorists are from her community. Now if only the Left could get that message.. eh?

One stalwart writes about another
Two strong voiced British politicians. Daniel Hannan is a daily blogger at The Telegraph UK and has written a piece on the UKIP's leader Nigel Farage, giving us a peep into what makes one of the two most charismatic British politicians tick. Daniel Hannan himself being the other most popular YouTube favorite.
Just in case, you have not watched Nigel Farage in action, listen to him on FoxNews and judge for yourselves how terribly wrong the idea of EU has gone... they are fast losing their democracy one second at a time.
If Britian ever manages to untangle itself from the suicidial EU, it will be because of the efforts of Nigel Farage and Daniel Hannan.
Politicians always claim not to be politicians, but Nigel Farage has a point.
His memoirs – if that’s the right word for a book published mid-stream – are quite unlike any you’ve read: artless, breathless, occasionally crude, completely plausible and utterly readable.
They describe the transformation of a typical Home Counties boy into the leader of the party that came second at the last European election. When I say “typical Home Counties boy”, I suppose I mean the type often encountered in Betjeman’s verse and in P G Wodehouse’s golfing short stories (Wodehouse was, like Farage, a cricket-obsessed old boy of Dulwich). Nigel’s main interests in life were – and perhaps still are, underneath everything – pubs, golf, women, cricket and fishing. The type is easily satirised; but it has produced its great men, Denis Thatcher foremost among them.
Nigel Farage is Denis Thatcher on speed. On the night he was elected to the European Parliament, the first question from our local TV man, Phil Hornby, was: “So, from now on it’s going to be endless lunches, lavish dinners, champagne receptions: will you be corrupted by the lifestyle?”
“No,” replied Nigel amiably, “I’ve always lived like that”.
This manner isn’t to everyone’s taste; but its authenticity is indubitable. Nigel is equally authentic when, in his book, he sets out to answer the central question of his life. How did an eighteen-year-old with a handicap of six and a job in the City become a full-time anti-EU campaigner? I’ll let him answer in his own words: “I did not enter politics out of philanthropy but rather as an extension of my own annoyance at having inherited freedoms infringed by power-crazed idiots”.....
When did God stop making men like Nigel Farage and why???

The world is full of woman slaves
The hypocritical law of "temporary wife" is practised in all moslem countries. Look here, now you can't accuse moslem men of ever being customers of prostitutes or having mistresses. Those are their laws and Western nations better adopt similar decrees or else......
Iran on Wednesday hanged a former soccer player's mistress — known as a "temporary wife — who was convicted of murdering her love rival, the player's wife, the official IRNA news agency reported....
...Under Iranian law, men and women can commit to a "temporary marriage" for an agreed period of time after a certain amount of money is paid to the woman.
In Iran, men are allowed up to four legal wives under Islam and any number of temporary wives. Women can only be married to one man at a time......

Canada beheads Freedom of Speech .... again and again endlessly
Muslim nations hang gays and stone women to death. Canada wants to align itself with these Muslim nations by learning to do things the moslem way, and as is the nature of things when you want to to learn anything new, you tend to start small. That's how Canada has started.... started in small ways with the apparently ultimate goal of hanging of gays and stoning of women.
In Canada if you speak your mind, beware.... your tongue is cut off and then you are beheaded for still continuing to think those thoughts. That's what the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) does to people they consider to be non-islamic in nature. Yup.... that's our Canadistan.
Thank heavens for our American friends. They write about the things happening in this gulag known as Canada... things that most Canadians are unable to say or write about in Canada. And, you thought Russia was bad... in those bygone days, didn't you ? You haven't had to deal with the speech killers in Canada.
Except in a hockey rink at the Winter Olympics, our Canadian friends are well-mannered and polite neighbors. Americans rarely have a reason to pay attention to politics north of the border.
But it has become clear in the past few years that democracy in Canada is seriously threatened, and it's time Americans spoke up. We had better, because Canadians can't..............
And, that's not all of it, not by a long mile. Read further here about Canada's HRC favorite pastime: beheading people they don't like, people who speak out against wrongs in our society. These are sad but true events happening in our day and age in this gulag you know as Canada.

Afghan scumbag being trained by US trainers, turns around and kills six
This is simply frustrating. Like many Canadians, I am against our troops being in Afghanistan after the previously arranged exit date of mid 2011, that's the date our PM had promised to bring back the troops. Now, all of a sudden, the PM alongwith the opposition have decided that our young men and women will continue being there way into 2014 as non-combat personnel training Afghans to freaking fight their own battles.
Those animals there know only to kill, kill and kill. The decision to keep Canadians as trainers in Afghanistan well into 2014 will come back to haunt not only Prime Minister Stephen Harper but everybody involved in the decision to extend the Canadian project in that godforsaken country.
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Six American service members who were training Afghan Border Police officers were killed on Monday when one of the trainees turned his gun on them, the Pentagon said.
The shooting occurred in the Pachir-Wa-Agam district of Nangarhar Province, which borders Pakistan and includes the Tora Bora mountains and the cave complex that was one of the last hide-outs of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan after the invasion by American and allied forces in 2001......
