My Rant About All Things Political

The economic engine of this country is oil.  Love it or hate it, it is a fact.  We need it to heat our homes (especially in this country of never ending winters), to run our vehicles, to make plastics of which so much of our every day lives depend on (including our beloved I-Phones).  During these times of economic difficulties, oil supports the whole country, including Quebec (actually, especially Quebec) and yet Thomas Mulcair--who was elected primarily by Quebec, but is the leader of our federal government's official opposition, the man who wants to be Prime Minister, is trying to destroy Canada's oil sands industry.  He is pitting the East against the West, and all for political gain, NOT for the benefit of this country.  He is cutting off his nose to spite his face (I know that saying is old and tired, but it still works).

Mr. Mulcair was in Calgary recently telling people there that "the NDP will be a partner with the development of energy resources".  But then he goes to Washington and talks out of the other side of his mouth by disparaging our oil industry and our government. The oil industry in Canada has made enormous gains on protecting the environment and/or restoring what they have disturbed, and yet politicians and the mainstream media continually omit that information and greatly exaggerate the harm being done.  The oil was in the water up there long before anyone started developing the oil sands.  It seeps right out of the ground.

Anyway, enough about Mr. Mulcair.  The party he leads though, the NDP, used to represent hard-working Canadians.  Now, I'm not sure what they stand for other than encouraging people to rely on the government for everything instead of taking any personal responsibility--oh, and they stand for unions.   Unions also used to stand up for hard-working people, but now they seem to be more about politics than standing up for the little guy and use the money of their hard-working members to fund their own political causes without their members' consent.

Then there is our young Mr. Trudeau, soon to be leader of the federal Liberal party.  I fear the young people of this country--encouraged (brainwashed, really) by the mainstream media using whatever tactics and lies it deems necessary--will want this man to be Prime Minister in 2016.  If any of you are reading this, please do some research.  If you are well informed on the issues and still want to vote for him, them so be it.  But if you vote for him just because everyone else is, or because you like the way he looks, please think again. 

I used to be one of those people that voted without knowing what I was voting for.  Once I started paying attention, I was amazed at the hypocracy out there, especially by the mainstream media and Hollywood.  These people have so much influence over our lives, much more than we even realize. The rich and famous like to preach to us without practicing what they preach.  David Suzuki is one of those rich and famous who does very little practicing what he preaches, who flies all over the world to his various homes (Toronto, Australia, and three in BC).  What kind or carbon footprint is he leaving?  Then he tells us to conserve--conserve you little peons.

Environmental conservatism--which, without the lies and hypocracy, is a good thing--is definitley on the rise while political and/or fiscal conservatism seems to be going by the wayside these days.  When I talk to people and find out what they agree with and what they disagree with, their views are usually much more conservative then they even realize.  The media hates conservatism, they portray anyone with "old fashioned" moral values as mean, greedy and bad.  It simply isn't true. 

Please, please inform yourselves.  Our way of life depends on it.  I cannot stress that enough.

Double Standards of Thomas Mulcair

The double standards of Thomas Mulcair are astounding.  He is condemning an evangelical Christian group called Crossroads Relief and Development because they received $389,000 from the Canadian government to help them build wells and provide clean water for people in Uganda.  He says they shouldn't be receiving any funds from the government because they are "completely against" Canadian values and law by calling homosexuality a sin.  Crossroads Relief doesn't condemn the people, they condemn the act.  They also condemn the "activities of those who are violent towards gays".

Funny, because in Canada we are growing our very own Muslim extremists.  They grow up here taking full advantage of Canadian generosity and then they go around the world killing people because of their beliefs and/or life styles (i.e. being gay or a woman with her own mind) and Mr. Mulcair says nothing against them.  Aren't the actions of these extremists "completely against" Canadian values and law?  But he says nothing.  Instead, he picks on a group of Christians that go around the world helping people instead of killing people.  Where is the logic?

Christianity is on the chopping block.  People like Mr. Mulcair and so many others want it completely iradicated from our lives.  The Muslims are helping them do that.  Maybe that's why they are so tolerant of the extremists.

If Mr. Mulcair and the "so many others" (i.e. women's groups, mainstream media, gay activists, NDP and Liberal politicians) continue to say nothing against Muslim extremism, this extremism will get stronger and stronger.  Do they really want to live in a world where sharia law is the law of the land?

All these leftist groups keep saying that living or thinking in a "conservative" way or a "Christian" way will send us back to living in the 1950's.  If Muslim extremists get their way--and they are getting stronger all the time--they will send us back to living in the stone ages.

And this man wants to be Prime Minister.

Blackmail By Hunger Strike

Has anyone seen Chief Theresa Spence lately?  Has she lost any weight?  Not very much I'm betting.  She is the Chief of the Attawaspikat Indian Band in Ontario who is supposedly on a hunger strike until Prime Minister Harper meets with her.  I say supposedly because she is actually on a liquid diet (fish broth, medicinal tea, and lemon water).  Fish broth is very nutritious and so is lemon.  This is not a hunger strike, it's a diet.  When you see her on the news, they say she is weak, but she doesn't look any thinner.  Anyone on a real hunger strike for three to four weeks would be a hell of a lot thinner than she is. 

I'm not being sympathetic at all because it is all a sham--an attention getter to distract everyone from the fact that she has been mismanaging the funds provided to her band for years.  An audit had been done by Deloitte, an independent auditor,  and she has seen the results of that audit.  She knew the truth was coming out and she wanted to have sympathy of the people on her side.  The mainstream media, of course, is helping her do that.

After all her squandering of funds which left her people living in deplorable conditions, she still has the media writing things about her like the following paragraph from David Moscrop's column in Friday's The Globe and Mail:

"When a commitment to liberalism is mixed with a failure to empathize, we really get into trouble. We become unable to connect with a leader pushed to the brink by the systematically induced tragedy of her people, even as she puts her life on the line to remedy persistent historical injustices."

He's talking about Canadians' failure to empathize.  I have no trouble empathizing with her people, they have very little choice in their circumstances.  However, to keep insisting to the general public that Chief Spence is such a victim and forced to "put her life on the line" is absolutely appalling and misleading.  Judging by her record, she is far to self indulgent to put her life on the line for anyone.

She is looking out for her own interests and doesn't seem to give a damn about her people, and the way some of the other chiefs and the mainstream media is helping her along by pushing her "hunger strike" story means that they also don't care about the poor people living in Attawapiskat or any other reserve.

There are definite concerns about conditions on some reserves across this country, but before any of that can change, there needs to be changes to Indian Affairs.  They are letting this lack of accountability continue.  Anyone receiving funds from the government should be accountable for those funds.

There also needs to be changes to the Indian Act.  People living on reserve should be able to own their houses and their land.   Anyone living under this Act, no matter what the colour of his skin, would likely end up the same way.  If there no ownership, there is no pride.

It's a tall order to make these changes and it will take a strong person to do it.  With the Chiefs fighting against it and the people on reserve afraid to speak up, and with the media who seize on any opportunity to make the Harper Government look bad, I don't have much hope that anything will change.

This blackmail by hunger strike is certainly bringing attention to Chief Spence, however, it is starting to look like the kind of attention she didn't want.   The old saying still applies "Be careful what you wish for".

Obama - Good or Bad for America?

Barack Obama – Canadians overwhelmingly love this man, but do the majority of us actually know anything about him?  Sure he is intelligent, likeable, gives a great speech, and is an entertaining guest on the talk show circuit, but do we know anything else?  The mainstream media gives him a free pass no matter what he does or says?   Have you ever heard anything negative about him?   Not much, I’m guessing.

President Obama and the Democratic Party represent the takers in society.  They want big government to take care of everyone (the takers) and they want to raise taxes-- especially on the rich—to pay for it.  At least they say they want to take it from the rich because people like to hear that, but it will mostly be the middle class paying for it.   Europe has already tried and failed miserably with this type of solcialism.  You would think the Americans would want to learn from the mistakes of Europe, but instead they want to follow them right into the abyss.

The Republicans on the other hand represent the makers in society.  They want smaller government and for people to take care of themselves for the most part, with a safety net for the people who can’t.  They want to reduce regulation for businesses to make it easier and less expensive to operate so they can hire people, get people working.  Obama wants to add more taxes and regulation which makes it less likely businesses will hire more people.  Remember Obama’s famous words to business people and entrepreneurs “You didn’t build that”.   Oh, I forgot, you probably didn’t hear about that either, unless you watch Fox News or Sun TV,

Obama is also about protectionism.  If Americans starting “buying American”, where does that leave Canadians.  Two-thirds of what Canadians produce is exported to the States.  Yet we are so pro-Obama.  I don’t get it. 

And what about Benghazi???  If what Obama allowed to happen to the Americans in Benghazi, Libya, had been done by a Republican president, he would have been impeached by now.   There is hard proof in the form of emails from the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi to the White House requesting extra protection because they had strong suspicions that they were going to be attacked on the anniversary of 9/11.  The White House did nothing.  Even though there was time to send reinforcements, they did nothing.  Then after the attack, in which Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were tortured (which included being sodomized),  were killed, and their bodies dragged through the streets, President Obama and his staff repeatedly stuck to the “story” that the attack was in response to a pathetic You-Tube movie slamming Islam, which was made by an American.   It was reported by Fox News and Sun TV that the White House knew this was not true and knew it right from the start, yet they repeated the lie time and again and the mainstream media swallowed it, hook, line, and sinker.   Even after the truth came out, the mainstream media mostly just ignored it.

His chumminess with the Muslim world is also unsettling along with his desire for America to NOT be the super power.  If America is not the super power, another country will assume that role.  Who will that be?  China?  What does that mean for the rest of the western world?  What does that mean for Canada?  Without America to crack down on the bullies of the world, bullies that do horrible things to their own people, what kind of world will that be?

Finally, there is the question of President Obama’s past—his ties to a professor (his mentor) who was a card carrying communist.  Any other president with the slightest tie to a communist would be crucified by the media.   Is that the view he has for America?   Or should I say Amerika?

All I have left to say is I hope I am wrong about him.  I really, really do.    

The Lies of the Left

The US Democratic Party prides itself on being all inclusive.  They are the party that does not discriminate against anyone.  They do, of course, discriminate if you are conservative minded or, heaven forbid, a Christian although they would never admit it.

The mean, old, rich, fat, white guys you see in the movies and on TV are almost always portrayed as Republicans.  Without even thinking about it, if you were asked, your first impulse would be that he is a Republican.  That’s what I always thought without questioning it.  However, it is wrong.  Dead wrong.

The Ku Klux Klan was started by Democrats after the American Civil War.  President Abraham Lincoln, who we all know freed the slaves during the Civil War, was a Republican.  I remember being surprised when I first heard that he was a Republican because it didn’t fit into what I thought a Republican would do.   Then I found out that it was the Republicans who passed the Civil Rights Act of 1866 which provided “full and equal benefit of all laws” to ALL citizens.  It was also the Republicans who tried and eventually succeeded in passing “anti-lynching” laws.  It took a few generations to get this particular law passed because it was vetoed by the Democrats time and time again.

Ann Coulter has just released a new book entitled “Mugged: Racial Demagoguery From the Seventies to Obama”.  In it she points out the hypocrisy of the Democrats--who have been playing the race card against the Republicans for the last 30 to 40 years.  She also points out that "It was the Thirteenth Amendment which ended slavery and 80 percent of Democrats voted against it."  The Republican Party has never been the racist party in the US.  It was the Democrats.

Pay attention the next time you watch a movie that has a mean, old, rich, fat, white guy in it.  You can bet your bottom dollar he will be a Republican!

The Death of the West

Last week an American Ambassador, J. Christopher Stephens, was murdered.  It happened in the American Embassy in Libya on September 11.  Muslim extremists stormed the Embassy and killed him and three other Americans.  By all accounts, this man was a good man and he was there to do all he could do to help the Libyan people.   The Obama administration says it is tragic.  No outrage, no anger, it was just “tragic”.  This is not the America the world needs right now.

President Obama and his administration seem to think that if they are nice to the Muslim dominated countries, if they don’t condemn the extremists among them, that they can all be friends—as long as they snub Israel, of course.  This administration, the mainstream media, the celebrities, they all don’t seem to grasp the fact that the extremists don’t want to be friends with the West.  They just want us dead.  Plain and simple.  They want to kill our way of life and no amount of talking, and talking, and talking some more will change that.  They are also very patient.  Generations can go by and they will still get their revenge for whatever they perceive as insulting.

These latest murders were done under the guise of retaliation for an online movie that disparages Islam.  So the American government and the mainstream media are apologetic and condemn anyone who would make such a movie.  But what would they say about someone making a movie disparaging Christianity?   Give that man an Oscar!!!  

The authorities, however, are saying that the movie was probably used as an excuse to riot, to justify their outrage, although you don't hear that in the media.  These extremists are playing us in the West and we are bending over backwards to accommodate them.  To apologize to them is a sign of weakness and that gives them strength.  It doesn’t appease them, it justifies their cause and makes their resolve even stronger.

If the tide doesn’t turn soon, if Obama wins a second term, I fear for the West.  Our Prime Minister is doing what he can on the world stage and I certainly commend him for that.  However, if the Americans are not onside, if they keep trying to appease the radicals, our freedoms may slowly continue to disappear.

When will they learn that these Muslim radicals are savages?  You can’t reason with savages.

Audacity of the United Nations

Recently, the United Nations' Human Rights Council, sent a bureaucrat, Olivier De Schutter, to Canada to investigate our "right to food".   With all the atrocities in the world (so much of which they do nothing about) they come here to investigate Canada.  How ridiculous! The nerve and the gall of these people is laughable.  If they can have countries like Iran, China, and Zimbabwe, who are all known for their brutality against their own people (especially their women) sitting on the Commission on the Status of Women, then what credibility can they have.   And the dictator of Libya, Moammar Gadhafi, was named to the UN's Human Rights Council, Human Rights Council, when he is so well known for his brutality.

They are a bunch of useless, condecending, left-leaning blowhards that preach to Canada about how European socialism is the only way to go.  Well, look at the state of Europe, it is falling apart around their ears!  How dare they come here to criticize us??? 

Are we perfect?  Of course not.  There is always room for improvement.  However, Canada is one of the most stable countries in the world, who gives millions and millions to less fortunate countries every year, over and above the millions it gives to the UN.   They are out of touch with reality and I wish Canada would withdraw. 


Our mainstream media, led by CBC, fawn over these UN phonies like they really know what they are talking about.  They have targeted Canada because they don't like our Prime Minister.  He doesn't do their bidding like Jean Chretian did so they are trying to discredit us in the eyes of the rest of the world, and our mainstream media laps it up with such enthusiasm.  It makes me sick.


The UN used to be credible, now it is full of bureacrats whose main goal is to rule the world.  It may sound ridiculous, but pay attention, a one-world government is a goal that they have been working towards for quite some time.
