OTTAWA -- The Conservative Party of Canada dominated its federal counterparts in fundraising last year, adding $18.1 million to party coffers.

[....] Paul Martin gave the least of the three anglophone party leaders ($1,545) in 2005.

You would think that, considering that taxpayers paid $161-million into his CSL, Martin would have wanted to contribute to the democratic process, in return.

Thanks, R, for this.




The irony of the Muslim protests

Surely, some Muslims see the contradiction between the violent demonstrations on the "Arab street" and their fury at the idea that Westerners could see Mohammed as the prophet of violence. It sort of follows the old joke: "If you call me crazy, I'll have to kill you." Nothing speaks louder than actions when it comes to judging a religion. We can look back at our autocratic Christian past, e.g. The forced conversions of the Latin American Indians by the Spanish conquistadores, the Inquistion, and we can repent. Meanwhile, we see the virulent hate spewed out daily by Islamic clerics and the Arab media sources towards we infidels. Jews are frequently portrayed as "pigs", "apes", or "world controllers". These eruptions are never condemned by the dictatorial leaders of the Muslim countries, nor unsurprisingly considering those who hold sway at present there, by our glorious U.N. Anything to deflect anger at how they rule their wretched countries. In fact, the threats by the Iranian president to "wipe Israel off the map" were met with a ho-hum--or secretly, "righteous, brother!" response in most of the Islamic world. Their public unconcern with a potential Iranian-induced Armageddon in their areas is chilling indeed. It is nothing except a death wish for their enemy, and even for themselves in its wake.

Another irony has been mentioned by Anver Emon, a professor of Islamic law at the University of Toronto. He pointed out that it is indeed ironic that millions of Muslims protest the tight censorship that marks most of their countries' media, yet are enraged by the Western truly free press.

These rabid responses to the cartoons shows the inherent emotional instability of many Muslims. Locked as they are in a compartmentized world of religion, they have missed the progress of the rest of the globe. It is part of their current rage. And it also shows the Trojan Horse that has entered the West. We blithely assume that our imams are loyal. Evidence is mounting to show that this world-wide violence over the cartoons was orchestrated by Danish imams, who travelled the Middle-East for months, whipping up support for massive demonstrations in the Islamic world. They included not only the real cartoons, but three totally obscene ones found on the internet.

From Hamza al-Masri, the hook-handed "cleric" of the infamous Finsbury mosque, to the prinicpal of Toronto's Islamic school, who turned out to be a al-Qaeda sleeper agent, we have seen the hand of the ultra-religious. I always laugh when I hear the parents of the latest arrested al-Qeada sleeper say, "But he is a good boy. He goes to the mosque everyday. That has turned out to be the modus operandi of practically every terrorist. You have to ask, who is teaching them this murderous message and why are we allowing it? The West has allowed, nay, encouraged, this virulent theology--through the tenets of multiculturalism--to infect even our second-generation Muslims. This Saudi Wahhabi teaching of hatred for the West and its values was exposed after the first bombing of The World Trade Center; yet nothing was done to arrest it. They are everywhere, from prison chaplins, to youth centers, to mosques. This is mainly bcause the collective West has created all sorts of "Rights laws". Our implacable enemies have used these "rights" to infiltrate our countries. Even if exposed they know how to play the law to stay here indefinitely. Our hate laws somehow neglect to see this venom being spread. [Would our appointed decision makers in the courts not have something to do with this, Bud? They don't have to answer to the populous in any way, either. Appointed for life or until age 75, they pronounce from on high, seemingly not cognizant of the ramifications of their decisions on the rest who have to live among those they allow to remain here.]

If Muslims really want to convince "infidels" of Mohammed's message of peace, they should start vehemently protesting the terrorist attacks that emanate from and are based on their religion. As well, they must stop their blasphemous utterances against non-Muslims. Remember, actions, not words, define everyone. And we are getting an eyeful of their actions.

The expected CBC drive-by-smear

This is the begining of a long undermining of all things Conservative.
Karl Heinz Schriber, an old political acquaintance of Brian Mulroney, has said he helped Mulroney collect $300,000 as pay-offs for the Airbus deal. However, as one other former friend of Karl Heinz Schriber said, "He is the biggest f***ing liar the world has ever seen". Here we have a world class charletan , who suddenly breaks down for The Fifth Estate. A classic jailhouse confession, as he is wanted for various charges in Germany. Along the way, he gets to smear Elmer MacKay, the father of Peter, our new Foreign Affairs Minister.

Nothing terrifies the CBC more than a Conservative win. For a while, a conservative government will be the new boss of the Mother Corps. CBC's underwhelming presence (Friends of the CBC excluded, of course) is the major fear. How do you boost the "scary" quotion? Following the Fifth Estate episode the CBC National News re-ran some of the "expose". Then in a pile-on, they showed the outrage of Emerson's Liberal supporters. I don't remeber CBC examining the attitudes of Conservatives about Keith Martin, Scott Brison or Belinda Stronach's defections. A tad selective, what?

Let's us examine the next segment, which highlighted the poor U.S. army deserter, who want to squat forever in the bosom of a kindly Canada. He's a refugee from the Fascist America you see. Incredibly, even as I am writing this and listening to the CBC news, there is Julie Van Medusa (sorry, I forget her real name) telling us to place a watch on the Conservative's handling of the bureaucracy -- such sacrifice of vital resources. CBC is about to start their "encore" season. All the guilt-producing documentaries you never watched the first time around will be featured again. At a billion dollars, plus, they must strut their old stuff for the next eight months--starting in February? Don't pay attention to the government number that the Liberals pump out. There are various pipelines available to shunt more money to their favoutite propaganda organ. It has been brought to my notice the visits from CBC to the blog after my latest posts on their latest (never-ending) bias [Thanks, Frosty]. I welcome every offended party, but they never seem to respond. Don't simply believe my accusations; simply watch CBC do their thing. There is no stopping them.

© Bud Talkinghorn--Friends of the CBC rise up. You have nothing to lose but your ideological chains.


Bud, it's Julie Van Dusen. Anyway, it is time for Canadians to rise up against their tax dollars being wasted on this biased broadcaster.



Saint Olivia of the entitlements has started her pilgrimage ... shouldering the cross of long term taxpayer funding for public daycare for working parents and the poor ............ hoping to make funding as close to forever as her caring soul can get it, I expect. She does mention standards which may be a good thing except that I have some knowledge of how government rules can be used to exclude a business ... maybe unintentionally, but nevertheless. Give parents choice and let parents decide what is appropriate care.

Obviously, now that they're making something in the vicinity of $250,000 between them as MP's in Canada's Parliament, Olivia Chow and Jack Layton have moved onward and upward ... from their days of living in public housing in Toronto. Now, they will apply pressure to the need for government involvement--as with health care--in publicly funded institutional child care ... Ironically, they have no children themselves, I believe; they simply work for the good of the people ... a pity they wouldn't develop an acquaintance with a few stay-at-home parents ... and a little time away from being so close to government, whether as municipal or federal politicians ... just to get a taste of what ordinary people want in the way of freedom to choose.

One of the most loving women of my acquaintance cared about all children in her orbit, whether directly related or not. She would not have passed muster in a government rules-based system, but if I wanted to know my child was with someone who would let everything else wait while she played with or talked to my child, she is the one I would choose. She had a big heart, intelligence and knew local politics. She always had a coffee pot on and I remember her fondly. Frosty

SPARC: Separated Parenting Access & Resource Center

Catharine A. MacKinnon is a lawyer, teacher, writer, activist, and expert on sex equality. [. . . . ]

Beginning in the mid 1970s, MacKinnon pioneered the legal claim for sexual harrassment as a form of sex discrimination. Beginning in 1983, with Andrea Dworkin, she conceived and wrote ordinances recognizing pornography as a violation of civil rights. The U.S. Supreme Court accepted her theory of sexual harassment in 1986. The Supreme Court of Canada adopted, in part, approaches that she created with the Women's Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) to equality (1989), pornography (1992), and hate speech (1991).

Professor MacKinnon is involved in litigation, legislation, and policy development on women's human rights domestically and internationally. She is currently representing pro bono Croatian and Muslim women and children victims of Serbian genocidal sexual atrocities seeking remedies under international law.


What about men's rights in the West? Rights to have access their children, sometimes denied in very questionable circumstances, since the West had activist feminists like MacKinnon.

Did Justice Kruzick know about porn as a violation of civil rights? He must not have when he made the decisions mentioned in a post yesterday: "Impartial Justice".

News flash from Newfoundland

Recently a routine RCMP patrol parked outside a bar just off the main Highway at Goobies, Newfoundland. After last call the officer noticed a man leaving the bar so intoxicated that he could barely walk. The man stayed in the parking lot for a few minutes, with the officer quietly observing.

After what seemed an eternity and trying his keys on five different vehicles, the man managed to find his car which he fell into. He sat there for a few minutes and then threw a hook and line out the window and seemed to be trying to catch a fish. A number of other patrons failed to observe this crazy drunk as they left the bar and drove off. Finally the drunk started the car, switched the wipers on and off (it was a fine, dry summer night) flicked the blinkers on, then off a couple of times, honked the horn and then switched on the lights.

He pulled in the hook and line and moved the vehicle forward a few inches, reversed a! Little and then remained still for a few more minutes as some more of the other patron vehicles left. At last, the parking lot was empty; he pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive slowly down the road.

The officer, having patiently waited all this time, now started up the patrol car, put on the flashing lights, and promptly pulled the man over and carried out a breathalyzer test. To his amazement the breathalyzer indicated no evidence of the man having consumed any alcohol at all!

Dumbfounded, the officer said, I'll have to ask you to accompany me to Headquarters. This breathalyzer equipment must be broken." "I doubt it," said the truly proud Newfoundlander. Tonight I'm the designated decoy."



Maybe he's sticking up for the little guys who can't afford a high-priced lawyer to get them off, as one ex-PM's wife could. (Was she not charged with DUI? Can't have anyone related to one of the gods treated the same as an ordinary citizen, can we?) This may be an example of the little guys fighting back in their own way ... or just a Maritimers' chuckle ... whatever. I wonder if they also carry an Arkansas credit card ... a siphon hose and a five gallon can.

Thanks to S for this.
