Subject: Fwd: Budget Cuts

The President ordered the cabinet to cut a whopping $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget!

I'm so impressed by this sacrifice that I have decided to do the same thing with my personal budget.

I spend about $ 2000 a month on groceries, household expenses, medicine, utilities, etc, but it's time to get out the budget cutting ax, go line by line through my expenses, and cut back!

I'm going to cut my spending at exactly the same ratio -1/35,000 of my total budget. After doing the math, it looks like instead of spending $2000 a month; I'm going to have to cut that number by 5.7 cents!

Yes, I'm going to have to get by with $1999.94, but that's what sacrifice is all about. I'll just have to do without some things.
------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of Presidents:


------------------------------------------------------------
King Arthur and the Witch:

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.

The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.

Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.

But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.

The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.

He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur

He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:

What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.

And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.

The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened

The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half.

Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?

Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?

What would YOU do?

What Lancelot chose is below.


BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below.


OKAY?








Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.

Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.

Now....what is the moral to this story?


Scroll down






The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly
----------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of smart women:



Technology

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Australian
scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and
came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone
network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Aussies, in the weeks that followed, an
American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet and, shortly after,
a story was published in the New York Times: "American
archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have
concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech
communications network 50 years earlier than the Australians".

One week later, the Council in Essex , reported the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Colchester, Jack Lucknow, a
self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely f *ck
all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had
already gone wireless."

Just makes you bloody proud to be British.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pigs

A farmer had five female pigs.
Times were hard, so he decided to take them
to the county fair and sell them.
At the fair, he met another Farmer who owned five male pigs.
After talking a bit, they decided to mate the pigs
and split everything 50/50.
The farmers lived sixty miles apart.
So they agreed to drive thirty miles each,
and find a field in which to let the pigs mate.

The first morning, the farmer with the female pigs got up at
5 A.M., loaded the pigs into the family station wagon,
which was the only vehicle he had, and drove the thirty miles.

While the pigs were mating, he asked the other farmer,
"How will I know if they are pregnant?"
The other farmer replied, "If they're lying in the grass
in the morning, they're pregnant.
If they're in the mud, they're not."

The next morning the pigs were rolling in the mud.
So he hosed them off, loaded them into the family
Station wagon again and proceeded to try again.
This continued each morning for more than a week
and both farmers were worn out.

The next morning he was too tired to get out of bed.
He called to his wife, "Honey, please look outside and
tell me whether the pigs are in the mud or in the grass."
"Neither," yelled his wife, "they're in the station wagon
and one of them is honking the horn".

Have a great weekend! I have been busy working and catching up on some reading. I have finished "We the Living", and "Fountainhead" this week, I am now re-re-reading "Atlas Shrugged". I find that I can't just scan the words like I do with other books, I have to really READ the words to get the full meaning, that makes it slow going, but very rewarding. I will be ready for the movie in April.

It Takes A Woman....

To put things into prospective. I have read all the media "unbiased" reporters on this issue, but NONE have stated the issue, or lack thereof as well as this blogger, and she's a Liberal to boot!

I worked as a Ministerial aide for a few years, and even as a card-carrying Liberal, I cannot condemn the Minister for disagreeing with her public service advisors. Here’s why:

NB:
1. The “government” is Cabinet, made of of Ministers of the Crown. The public service, despite what the population thinks most of the time, is NOT the government.
2. Public service, or “ministry” bureaucrats, provide ministers with recommendations and analysis of options, but their long-term priorities (remember, governments come and go, the public service is forever) do not necessarily match the government-of-the-day’s priorities. What has happened to Min. Oda is a reflection of that.
3. Ministers also look at all decisions they have to make through a political lens. You might not like that lens, but they are the government and if you don’t like it enough, you cast your vote for the opposition in the next election.

Read the whole blog post, and leave her a positive comment. This is an excellent post, and states the facts without being partisan.

As a woman, I am upset about the whole Oda issue because all I see is a female parliamentarian being attacked for nothing. It has gone beyond the actual issue and has become a feeding frenzy by the opposition and the media. The use of the picture of Bev Oda standing outside and smoking was the final straw. To read comments about her wearing those sunglasses when she had to because of her eye surgery, showed me the worse in people.

The losers in this whole episode are those who viciously attacked an elected Minister of our country. Just because you have immunity to say anything you want in the "House", does not mean that you don't have to think about the person you are attacking. It makes you look like a$$holes for doing so. Bev Oda, is a person, with all the feelings you have, and to be verbally attacked in Parliament and by the media must be devastating for her. You won't even let her escape to have a smoke in private.

Not only do I expect the members of Parliament who have been attacking Minister Oda to apologize, I expect the media to apologize as well. The opposition has the job of opposing policies, it does not have the right to verbally assault anyone. It is juvenile and makes you look like weak little tyrants.

No wonder the female vote is shifting to the Conservatives. Maybe they feel safer with the Conservatives because they are supportive of families and not known to attack female MP's. The other parties seem to think it is okay to make stuff up and then hound a female member of Parliament. Minister Oda, and all the other Conservatives females should start wearing T-shirts with targets on them during question period.

It feels like the media is making this a game. A game of let's see how much power we have to influence voters, let's see if we can make the Conservative polling numbers plummet. This is not a game, Bev Oda is a person. As a female all I see is a female under attack by old white guys. Why is sexism still okay?

Friday Night Funnies: One Useless Cat

After a week of stupid Liberal/lefty tricks, it's time to chill out and laugh!

I was just sitting here wondering....
When the hell is Spring coming??
-------------------------------------------------------
I ended up with an older woman at a club last night.

She looked pretty good for a 65-year-old.

In fact, she wasn't too bad at all, and I found myself thinking that she probably had a really hot daughter.

We drank a couple of beers, and she asked if I'd ever had a Sportsman's Double?

'What's that? I asked. 'It's a mother and daughter threesome,' she said.

As my mind began to embrace the idea, and I wondered what this daughter of hers might look like, I said, 'No, I haven't.'

We drank a bit more, then she said with a wink, "tonight's your lucky night."

We went back to her place. We walked in.

She put on the hall light and shouted upstairs:

'Mom, you still awake?'

WALMART INTERVIEW

Jennifer, a manager at Wal-Mart, had the task of hiring someone to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of 20 resumes she found four people who were equally qualified. Jennifer decided to call the four in and askthem only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job.

The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table, Jennifer asked, 'What is the fastest thing you know of?'

The first man replied, 'A THOUGHT.' It just pops into your head. There's no warning.

'That's very good!' replied Jennifer. 'And, now you sir?', she asked the second man.

'Hmmm . . . let me see 'A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of.'

'Excellent!' said Jennifer. 'The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed.' She then turned to the third man, who was contemplating his reply.

'Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light on the barn comes on in less than an instant. 'Yip, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of'.

Jennifer was very impressed with the third answer and thought she had found her man. 'It's hard to beat the speed of light,' she said.

Turning to Bubba, the fourth and final man, Jennifer posed the same question.

Old Bubba replied, 'After hearing the previous three answers, it's obvious to me that the fastest thing known is DIARRHEA.'

'WHAT!?' said Jennifer, stunned by the response.

'Oh sure', said BUBBA. 'You see, the other day I wasn't feeling so good, and I ran for the bathroom, but before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, I had already had an accident in my pants.'

BUBBA is now the new greeter at a Wal-Mart near you! You will probably think of this every time you enter a Wal-Mart from now on.

Husband Down
A husband and wife are shopping in their local Wal-Mart.
The husband picks up a case of Miller Lite and puts it in their cart.
'What do you think you're doing?' asks the wife.
'They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans' he replies.
'Put them back, we can't afford them' demands the wife, and so they carry on shopping.
A few aisles further on along the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket.
What do you think you're doing?' asks the husband.
'It's my face cream. It makes me look beautiful,' replies the wife.
Her husband retorts: 'So does 24 cans of Miller Lite and it's half the price.'

HUSBAND DOWN! HUSBAND DOWN! AISLE 7
------------------------------------------------------

I would like to see all the old white opposition men try this!
------------------------------------------------------
Speaking of old white opposition men who attack Conservative women, here's one for them.

God will take care of you....not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing for the lefties. Watch the little guy in his dad's arms, priceless!

BLUE BIRD OF HAPPINESS, MY ASS! It's Freezing! There's snow in my ass, all the food's covered with 3 feet of this white shit, and you want ME to sing? What?? Anne Murray's "Snowbird"? Piss Off!! Next year, I'm flyin' to Jamaica.!!

When A Rape Victim Gets Raped Again!

The awful news that a reporter covering the story in Egypt had been sexually assaulted hit me hard. A woman can be career-minded and independent in America, but it is so much harder for women in Afghanistan and Iran and now Egypt to succeed because of a male dominated society that thinks women are not worth as much as men. So, how did people react to the news of her brutal assault? Badly!



This video mentions a Nir Rosen, who is this guy and why would he tweet such brutal stuff?
Here is a video of his views on various issues:



Does anyone else think he is Muslim? Well, he isn't, he's Jewish. Earlier Wednesday, Rosen resigned from his fellowship at New York University's Center on Law and Security. Now that he has lost his job, he is remorseful, sort of......watch Anderson Cooper destroy this guy.

So a female reporter gets raped, and she gets blamed. Hope all those feminists rose to her defense....they didn't? What is it with lefties, they say they support women, but fail to do so every time.

Women, especially Conservative women are verbally attacked all the time. Think Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and in Canada, Rona Ambrose, Christie Blatchford, Bev Oda, Helena Guergis, Leona Aglukkaq, and Lisa Raitt. The lefty coalition might want to tone their attacks on females down, it is pushing women towards voting Conservative. If they haven't seen the big shift in female votes towards the Conservatives, who am I to tell them that their treatment of Bev Oda is disgusting women in all provinces. PM Harper's strong support of his female Minister under attack is attractive to females, who are looking for a strong leader that makes them feel safe.

So keep up the attack on a female Iggy along with your journalists, it will make us women more determined than ever to make sure you do not get into power anytime soon. Who wants MP's that verbally insult women in order to get a few votes? The lack of respect shown to Oda has gone beyond disgusting, it is an all out brutal attack against a woman, and you should all be ashamed.

Why Canada Lost It's Seat At The Security Council

The minute I saw this story, I understood why the US, under Obama's rule refused to support Canada's quest for a seat on the security council. It was understandable that the Muslim countries like the UAE the Liberals love didn't like us, but our best friend the US betrayed us by not supporting our bid. Why? Here is the answer:

In sharp reversal, U.S. agrees to rebuke Israel in Security Council

The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.

But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesdy of Arab representativs and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution Friday, according to officials familar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama adminstration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council.

At a time when the Arab world is in serious turmoil, the US is going to tell Israel not to build anymore houses? They are going to weaken Israel at the very time that Israel is being surrounded and threatened by the Islamic nations? Iran is sending warships through the Suez Canal, and Obama is going to slap the Israelis on the wrist for building houses, giving those Islamic nations more power?

Canada would have stood up to the Islamic nations and sided with Israel, that is why Obama did not support our bid for a seat at the security council. We would not have been scared of the US, we would not have bowed down to the Arab world, like Obama did. Now, with the US weakened by Obama, Israel is in deep trouble. They obviously can not rely on the US to back them up, and they know they will get no support from Europe. Canada and Australia will support them, but we are not super powers like the US or China.

Israel stands alone. The election of Obama sealed their fate, and the fate of those Islamic countries who think they can start a war against Israel without consequences.

While Islamic counties revolt against their dictators, shouting for democracy, the US under Obama and the UN are trying to restrict Israel, a sovereign nation, from developing their own nation. Funny how the US has no comment on the warships headed towards Israel. When did Americans become weak? Why does the Arab world think they can win a war against Israel? What has Obama said to them besides the bowing? He's a dangerous clown.
This is the President of the US. Can you be sure he will make the best decisions for America? To help Israel? Does the US have your back anymore? When the President of the US bows to enemies and will not support their friends, what happens next?

Obama refused to support their best friend Canada in their quest for a seat on the security council, Obama is now refusing to support Israel, does the US have any friends left that Obama hasn't screwed? I'm starting to think Alberta needs to turn off the taps to the US, and start sending our oil to China.

Mediagate Or NOT!

As predictable as gas prices rising before a long weekend, we get mediagate! We get the media shrills yapping about how PM Harper's Conservative government is reducing democracy. Every time the polls show Canadians supporting the Conservatives, we get a new "gate", I guess this one will be called the Odagate or democracygate, or Harpergate, or... the list is endless.

How about we call it mediagate? It makes perfect sense to me, because it is the media that is shouting about all these "gates". It is the media making a "NOT" into an international issue, an "I don't know" into a RCMP mission, or a disagreement with a bureaucrats recommendation into a full blown inquiry. Take a pill all you lefties. Seriously, you are out of control, without direction, and nobody really cares about what "gate" you like this week. You have cried wolf too often, nobody is listening to you anymore.

Government secrecy hampering MPs' jobs: Page
Parliament is being asked to vote on a major crime bill without a clear idea of how much it could cost taxpayers, Canada's budget watchdog said Tuesday.

The Conservative government's secrecy is hampering parliamentarians' ability to evaluate new legislation, Kevin Page told a House of Commons committee.

He said MPs are losing their ability to perform their constitutionally mandated jobs because of the lack of information available about the cost of new bills.

Oh, the media's darling, never fails to disappoint. He gives the lefties wet dreams of a rise to power, on his very words, they are like music to their ears. Page is upset because HE can't get his grubby little hands on the government budget plans. Poor baby. Poor media, no budget leaks. HA.
One suspects this is because the decision to deny Kairos funding was taken neither by CIDA bureaucrats nor the Minister. This one has the imprimatur of the PMO all over it.
......
Not that the Harper government has launched the kind of all-out assault on democracy that his critics charge. But there has been a gradual erosion of parliamentary democracy under the Conservatives that the Stephen Harper of six years would have decried.
This journalist should have also pointed out that this is a minority government and the opposition can take it down any time they want. If democracy is at such a risk because the government cut some funding to a religious group (funny how the left is supporting a religious group now), let the opposition do their job, and vote non-confidence in this government. Instead they bleat about a word, and cry to the voting gods to make this "scandal" THE "scandal" that will vault them back into power. If that fails, they always have the fallback position of the coalition! What true and honest gems these parties are against a Minister, who wrote, NOT on a request for 7 million dollars.

About Those Polls.

It makes me laugh that no matter how hard the lefty media shrills for the Liberals, they continue on a downward trend, both of them. No matter how many hands Ignatieff shakes or how many times he misses Parliament to travel Canada, the Canadian people are not buying it. I am sure that the Ekos and IPSOS surveys represent an accurate picture AT THIS POINT in time.

The ads have helped frame Ignatieff as just visiting, and in it for himself. Even my Liberal parents think that way. The threat of an election when Canadians don't want one is probably the main reason for the uptick in the Conservative numbers.

Working into Canadians consciousness is that sneaking suspicion that a coalition would happen after the next election if the Conservatives only win a minority again. People might not list that as the number one reason for supporting the Conservatives, but it is percolating just on the outer rim of people's minds.

The Bloc DEMANDING more money for Quebec, is so arrogant and distasteful to the ROC that PM Harper has to come out strongly stating that Quebec should not get more money than the 8.6 BILLION they already get from the ROC. If all cultures are equal according to our Charter of Rights, then Quebec is equal to Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, not better. Interesting thing from the surveys is that the Conservatives now poll higher than the Liberals in Quebec after saying NO to the arena. That should be a big hint to the Conservatives. Stand your ground and do not pander to Quebec, they will not respect you for it.

Also interesting is that women are giving the Conservatives the nod. I guess not all women are lefty feminists. Can we expect an election in the spring? I'm still not sure, as the polls could shift again. I don't really want one, but I'm ready to door knock when it becomes necessary. Edmonton NDP MP Linda Duncan is going down, no matter how many NDP university students she recruits!!

And They Blame The Toronto Councilors?

Okay, with one ear I heard about the OCAP protest that shut the budget meeting down, but I didn't really pay it any attention. Then I saw this:



And this:



And this:



Thanks to Eye on a Crazy Planet for showing the truth of those protesters.

What a bunch of juvenile idiots. Free speech has it's limits. Those police should have been able to yap right back at the spittle producing leftists. Yet the media thought Ford telling them to get a job was over the top? Did they air any of this protest? Did they hear the protesters profanity?

I wonder if an elderly woman had hit one of those mouthy protesters, if she would have been arrested, because that's exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to shout back at those fools that they needed to quit whining and get a job. I wanted to wade right in there and yell right back at them. I suspect, I would have been arrested if I had done that.

Listen to them yelling "don't hit me, don't touch me"! When they don't get hit or touched, they get aggressive against the police, and the police just have to stand there and take it, that is not right. The police should be able to escort them all out into the street, where they are free to protest all they want.

What this shows is the ugly leftist politics of activism. Just like when they shut Ann Coulter down, it shows how intolerant the progressive lefties really are. They do not stand for freedom, they stand for bullying. They are doing such a great job that people are switching their votes from the Liberals and NDP to the Conservatives. So, keep yelling, keep looking like idiots, you are only hurting your cause.

Friday Night Funnies:Devils and Angels

------------------------------------------------
I pulled into the crowded parking lot at the
local shopping center and rolled
Down the car windows to make sure my
Labrador Retriever Pup had fresh air.

She was stretched full-out on the back seat
and I wanted to impress upon her that she must
remain there.

I walked to the curb backward,
pointing my finger at the car and saying emphatically,
"Now you stay. Do you hear me?"

"Stay! Stay!"

The driver of a nearby car, a pretty blonde young lady,
gave me a strange look and said,

"Why don't you just put it in Park?"
--------------------------------------------------------------
West Virginia State Trooper
A WV State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2 miles East of Lewisburg, West Virginia. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Beckley, WV to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn't want to be late.
The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.
The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.

While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol car. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched the performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the rear door and got in.

The trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car and opened the door, asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.

The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my ass to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.'

It all began with an iPhone . . .

March was when my son celebrated his 15th birthday, and I got him an iPhone.
He just loved it. Who wouldn't?

I celebrated my birthday in July, and my wife made me very happy when
she bought me an iPad.

My daughter's birthday was in August so I got her an iPod Touch.

My wife celebrated her birthday in September so I got her an iRon.
It was around then that the fight started . . .
What my wife failed to recognize is that the iRon can be integrated into the home network
with the iWash, iCook and iClean.
This inevitably activates the iNag reminder service.

I should be out of the hospital by Monday.

I thought you would want to know about this e-mail virus. Even the most advanced programs from Norton or McAfee cannot take care of this one.
It appears to affect those who were born prior to 1960.

Symptoms:

1. Causes you to end the same e-mail twice. Done that!

2. Causes you to send a blank e-mail! That too!

3. Causes you to send e-mail to the wrong person. Yep!

4. Causes you to send it back to the person who sent it to you. DUH!

5. Causes you to forget to attach the attachment. Well darn!

6. Causes you to hit "SEND" before you've finished. Oh no - not again!

7. Causes you to hit "DELETE" instead of "SEND."
and I just hate that!

8. Causes you to hit "SEND" when you should "DELETE." Oh no!

IT IS CALLED THE "C-NILE VIRUS."

A mother and her young son were flying Southwest Airlines from Kansas City to Chicago.

The little boy (who had been looking out the window) turned to his mother and asked, 'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?'

The mother (who couldn't think of an answer) told her son to ask the flight attendant.

So the boy went down the aisle and asked the flight attendant, 'If big dogs have baby dogs and big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?'

The busy flight attendant smiled and said, 'Did your Mother tell you to ask me?'

The boy said, 'Yes, she did.'

'Well, then, you go and tell your mother that there are no baby planes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your mother explain that to you."

One More Brick Falls....

On progressive heads. They are stunned but not out, yet! All around the world, leaders are coming out and declaring that multiculturalism does not work.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy declared Thursday that multiculturalism had failed, joining a growing number of world leaders or ex-leaders who have condemned it.

"My answer is clearly yes, it is a failure," he said in a television interview when asked about the policy which advocates that host societies welcome and foster distinct cultural and religious immigrant groups.

"Of course we must all respect differences, but we do not want... a society where communities coexist side by side.

He is not the first one to declare multiculturalism dead:

British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australia's ex-prime minister John Howard and Spanish ex-premier Jose Maria Aznar have also recently said multicultural policies have not successfully integrated immigrants.

Merkel in October said efforts towards multiculturalism in Germany had "failed, totally."

Will Canada listen and save itself? I think we can if we continue to elect the Conservatives, they are our only defense against the feel good lefties open up the borders (world) strategy. This is a serious issue for Canada. Do we want immigrants coming here and expecting to live like they did in their old country, or do we want immigrants to blend into our society while maintaining their traditions?

I think our younger generation will be our saviours. They have been going to school with all races and it has made them inclusive. What has been happening is that the immigrant children are being absorbed into our society, and want to be Canadians. On any given weekend we have kids visiting us from Korean, Chinese, Philippian, Ukrainian and Polish backgrounds. They all think of themselves as Canadian, no matter what country they or their parents came from. We have found that pizza is the universal language of kids.

How can multiculturalism work when the French and English of Canada are still not united? How can we demand that immigrants conform and integrate, when we have Quebec voting for separatists? Unfortunately, a group of grade nine students from Alberta, who paid good money to visit Quebec, found them arrogant and unfriendly. This will shape their feelings for years to come.

Immigrants need to integrate into the Canadian landscape, not come here and demand we change our laws to accommodate them. You want a better life here in Canada? Leave your old fights behind and come in peace.

Biased Media Rumour Mongering...Again

Top story on Global Edmonton tonight? This piece of garbage reporting:

There are reports that the federal government is considering using tax dollars to help pay for a new NHL arena in Quebec City.

The Harper government is considering allowing part of the federal gas tax revenues to be used for construction of large entertainment centres, such as the one proposed for Quebec. (bolding is mine)

A rumour leads.....a rumour! Is considering, might happen, may be traded, might be warming? Can you say garbage reporting, fear mongering, talking heads? They made sure to put Quebec's arena front and center. They even interviewed our mayor and citizens on the street about the rumour.



Global Edmonton should be seriously ashamed of this reporting of a non-story. Normally they are good at reporting the news and not making it up. Even my non-political husband noticed the biased reporting on this issue. Shame on Global Edmonton, you know better. Do they have a new producer? Maybe from Toronto? Not sure but I was totally disgusted by their reporting on a rumour, and making it the headline news. Make sure you tell them their rumour mongering is not appreciated.

If I posted a rumour that an unnamed source in the Liberal party had confidentially told me that Ignatieff is considering leaving for Harvard in April, I would get called on it, asked for proof, and maybe sued for nothing more than being a Conservative blogger with an opinion.

So make sure you call out those powerful slithering, leftist TV stations when they fear monger by spouting rumours! (Taking my writing style from the far-far leftist Mallick.) I know it needs work, I'm not as good as her at using terms like slithered and spouting, but the feminist's have years of experience, time for us REAL women and REAL men (no metrosexuals) to start fighting back. We don't have to protest at Parliament to make our voices heard, we can use blogs, facebook, and email.

Let's start targeting organizations like the SOWS that we want revamped or just gone. One organization at a time until they are disappeared. Which organization should go first?

What To Do About Iran?

You must watch, if you haven't, IRANIUM. I am linking to Brett because he was the first one out with it. So thanks. I spent too much time this evening watching it, so this will be a short blog.

I wasn't shocked by anything contained in the documentary, those of us paying attention already know most of those details. What you need to do, is talk to people about it, get them to watch it, spread the information. Only with knowledge will we know our enemy and be able to defeat them.

Max, Get's My Respect!

You have to love a guy who speaks his mind and takes it from all sides. I agree with Maxime, and I have to respect his clear stand on a very controversial subject. Bill 101 is not about Quebec's need to preserve French, it's about Quebec being insecure, and arrogant.

The Prime Minister’s biggest quandary is that he can hardly discipline his charismatic MP from the Beauce for expressing opinions he used to (and probably still does) hold — namely the state should not coerce people into making decisions that concern their personal lives.

Before he united the right in 2003, Mr. Harper could often be heard spouting off about bilingualism (“the god that failed”) and Bill 101.

Hello, get the state out of our lives. Ivison makes it sound wrong to want less government control of our lives. He makes snarky references about PM Harper "spouting off" and the catty little ("the god that failed") remark shows a serious lack of deep thinking by a journalist, but why am I surprised?

Maxime has the right to have an opinion just like any other MP or individual. You can agree with his opinion or not, but he has as much right to "spout off" as Ivison does. Check out the comments, Ivison is not doing very well.

I think Max is a breath of fresh air. He has some good ideas, and it is nice to see an MP from Quebec care more about Canada then just his province. So much for PM Harper muzzling his MP's. I wonder why Ivison didn't mention that? Oh, right that wouldn't fit with the media's agenda. Cry about PM Harper being a bully and keeping a tight rein on his MP's, then when a Conservative MP does speak up, slamming him as a renegade and a "problem" for PM Harper. Can't have it both ways MSM, or you just look like idiots....oh wait.

No Music, PE or Becoming A Canadian.

I wonder how Muslim parents are going to stop their kids from listening to music. No physical education might lead to chubby kids, maybe that's why burkas are so loved. The most important thing to take from this is that those Muslim parents are preventing their children from becoming Canadian.

WINNIPEG— A dozen Muslim families who recently arrived in Canada have told Winnipeg’s Louis Riel School Division that they want their children excused from compulsory elementary school music and coed physical education programs for religious and cultural reasons.
This is why Canadians are becoming so careful around Muslims. We tiptoe around their loud demands, saying nothing, but thinking they are rude. Why is it that most immigrants fit into Canadian culture without any problems, but Muslims can not and will not? Chinese, Europeans, Japanese, Russians, all come here and integrate into Canadian society. What one group doesn't? What one group runs to our HRC's with hurt feelings? What one group wants us to change our life style to accommodate them? Muslims.

I know some Muslims, and they are wonderful people, but their voices are silent against the more violent radical Islamists, so they get branded with the same brush as the radicals.

Thankfully some Muslims are starting to speak out:

However, a local Muslim leader says there is no reason for young kids to be held out of music or phys-ed classes based on religious and cultural grounds.

“Who is advising them? My first concern would be who are these new immigrants talking to?” said Shahina Siddiqui, executive director of the Islamic Social Services. “This is the first time I am hearing this; I’m not very happy about it.”

Siddiqui said there is no problem with elementary-school children taking coed phys-ed, at least “not with little kids under the age of puberty.”

Good for you! Maybe you should talk to those "recent" immigrants and clue them in about being Canadian. We are a tolerant society, but don't confuse that with us being marshmallows, we will fight for our freedoms. If you come to Canada expecting to change it into a failed dictatorship like you just left, don't bother to come, we don't want immigrants who refuse to adapt to our way of life. Send your kids to a Muslim school, and stop whining, it's unbecoming and annoying.

Canada is the best country in the world, if you don't like it, LEAVE.

Happy Birthday, Mr. President!

No, not Obama, but a truly great President, Reagan. What a gift he was to America. Democrats love Kennedy, a womanizing President, guess that's why they still like Clinton, no morals seems to get the Democrats all warm and fuzzy. A man of principle and honesty, like Reagan is despised by Democrats and the media. I guess anything Conservative is a threat to Democrats, because it's hard to impose socialism on a country that stands for individual freedom. Ronald Reagan stood for free enterprise and less government.



He also had a great sense of humour:



If you can't get enough of Reagan, a speech he made in 1980 still applies to today. It is worth listening to:



Then compare it to Sarah Palin's speech during the election:



Funny how articulate Sarah was until the media told you she wasn't. People bought into the media's image of Sarah, they still do. It is frightening how much power the media still has on people. It is time for people to take to their keyboards and reverse the power of the media. Seriously, who actually goes out and buys a paper anymore?

I salute you President Reagan, you were an honourable man, at a time when America needed you.

Friday Night Funnies: The Blonde.

-----------------------------------------------------
THE BLONDE AND THE COW"

A blond City girl named Amy marries a Colorado rancher.

One morning, on his way out to check on the cows, the rancher says to Amy 'The insemination man is coming over to impregnate one of our cows today, so I drove a nail into the 2 by 4 just above where the cow's stall is in the barn. Please show him where the cow is when he gets here, OK?'

The rancher leaves for the fields. After a while, the artificial insemination man arrives and knocks on the front door. Amy takes him down to the barn. They walk along the row of cows and when Amy sees the nail, she tells him, 'This is the one right here.'

The man, assuming he is dealing with an air head blond, asks, 'Tell me lady, 'cause I'm dying to know; how would YOU know that this is the right cow to be bred?'
'That's simple," she said. "By the nail that's over its stall,' she explains very confidently.
Laughing rudely at her, the man says, 'And what, pray tell, is the nail for?'

The blond turns to walk away and says sweetly over her shoulder, 'I guess it's to hang your pants on.'

(It's nice to see a blond winning once in awhile.)
-------------------------------------------------
A Blonde goes to Heaven!

A Blonde was sent on her way to Heaven. Upon arrival, a concerned St
Peter met her at the Pearly Gates. 'I'm sorry,' St Peter said; 'But
Heaven is suffering from an overload of godly souls and we have been
forced to put up an Entrance Exam for new arrivals to ease the burden
of Heavenly Arrivals.'

'That's cool' said the Blonde, 'What does the Entrance Exam consist of?'

'Just three questions' said St Peter.

'Which are?' asked the Blonde.

'The first,' said St Peter, 'is, which two days of the week start with
the letter 'T' '? The second is 'How many seconds are there in a year?'
The third is 'What was the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'

'Now,' said St Peter, 'Go away and think about those questions and when
I call upon you, I shall expect you to have those answers for me.'

So the Blonde went away and gave
those three questions some considerable thought (I expect you to do the same)..

The following morning, St Peter called upon the Blonde and asked if she
had considered the questions, to which she replied, 'I have.'

'Well then,' said St Peter, 'Which two days of the week start with the
letter T?'

The Blonde said, 'Today and Tomorrow.'

St Peter pondered this answer for some time, and decided that indeed
the answer can be applied to the question.

'Well then, could I have your answer to the second of the three
questions?' St Peter went on, 'how many seconds in a year?'

The Blonde replied, 'Twelve!'

'Only twelve?' exclaimed St Peter, 'How did you arrive at that figure?'

'Easy,' said the Blonde, 'there's the second of January, the second of
February, right through to the second of December, giving a total of
twelve seconds.'

St Peter looked at the Blonde and said, 'I need some time to consider
your answer before I can give you a decision.' And he walked away
shaking his head.

A short time later, St Peter returned to the Blonde. 'I'll allow the
answer to stand, but you need to get the third and final question
absolutely correct to be allowed into Heaven. Now, can you tell me the
answer to the name of the swagman in Waltzing Matilda?'

The blonde replied: 'Of the three questions, I found this the easiest
to answer.'

'Really!' exclaimed St Peter, 'And what is the answer?'

'It's Andy.'

'Andy??'

'Yes, Andy,' said the Blonde.

This totally floored St Peter, and he paced this way and that,
deliberating the answer. Finally, he could not stand the suspense any
longer, and turning to the blonde, asked 'How in God's name did you
arrive at THAT answer?'

'Easy' said the Blonde, 'Andy sat, Andy watched, Andy waited til his
billy boiled.'

And the Blonde entered Heaven...

you're singing it now, aren't you…??

Drunks have the best sense of humor...

A drunk walks out of a bar with a key in his hand and he is stumbling back and forth. A cop on the beat sees him and approaches, "Can I help you Sir?"

"Yessh! Ssssomebody ssstole my carrr", the man replies.

"It wasss on the end of thisshh key", the man replies.

About that time the cop looks down and sees the man's willy hanging out of his fly for all the world to see.

He asks the man, "Sir are you aware that you are exposing yourself?"

Momentarily confused, the drunk looks down at his crotch and without
Missing a beat, blurts out....

The Funniest Staff Meeting Ever!

The boss of a Madison Avenue advertising agency called a spontaneous staff meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. (This is one pretty sharp boss!) When everyone gathered, the boss, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest. The theme: Viagra advertising slogans. The only rule was they had to use past ad slogans, originally written for other products that captured the essence of Viagra. Slight variations were acceptable.

About 7 minutes later, they turned in their suggestions and created a Top 10 List.. With all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone! The top 10 were:

10. Viagra, Whaazzzz up!

9. Viagra, The quicker pecker picker upper.

8. Viagra, like a rock !

Just in case you did not hear about this from the Postal Service:
The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it. The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:

1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.
3. People are spitting on the wrong side.

These are actual comments made by South Carolina Troopers that were taken
off their car videos:

1. "You know, stop lights don't come any redder than the one you just went through."

2. "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll stretch after you wear them a while."

3. "If you take your hands off the car, I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document." ( My Favorite )

4. "If you run, you'll only go to jail tired."

5. "Can you run faster than 1200 feet per second? Because that's the speed of the bullet that'll be chasing you."

6. "You don't know how fast you were going? I guess that means I can write anything I want to on the ticket, huh?"

7. "Yes, sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I'm the shift supervisor?"

8. "Warning! You want a warning? O.K, I'm warning you not to do that again or I'll give you another ticket."

9. "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?"

10. "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy and corn dogs."

11. "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven."

12. "In God we trust; all others we run through NCIC." ( National Crime Information Center )

13. "Just how big were those 'two beers' you say you had?"

14. "No sir, we don't have quotas anymore. We used to, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we can."

15. "I'm glad to hear the Chief (of Police) is a personal friend of yours. So you know someone who can post your bail."

AND THE WINNER IS....

16. "You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

Crossing Eygpt Off My Want To Visit List.

I loved the idea of Egypt; camels, mysterious pyramids, ancient historical sites, but now I have no desire ever to visit. I can look at pictures and read books instead.

I have great sympathy for the people of Egypt, they deserve a free and open country as much as everyone else does. Democracy is hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain. Canadians take it for granted. The last threat to our democracy was the Liberal/NDP/Bloc coalition, we too took to the streets in protest, and luckily the Governor General realized that a government that excluded the party with the most votes and the most MP's would be a misrepresentation of voters intentions. Egypt has no such fail safe position. The protesters can force a change of government without Egyptians actually voting for the people that get put into power. They will only be changing one dictator for another, maybe harsher dictator. It will not be a democracy.

Who is putting himself up for the new leader of Egypt? One ElBaradei. Who does he hang with?

Self appointed spokesman for the Egyptian "revolution" Mohamed ElBaradei is not a man to inspire confidence in pro-Western circles.

Tariq Rauf
As head of the U.N's International Atomic Energy Agency (1997-2009) ElBaradei cultivated a circle of advisers, a "kitchen cabinet" - that included an accused Russian spy, Canadian national and IAEA Verification and Security head Tariq Rauf.

However it is ElBaradei's service on the Board of the International Crisis Group that should really set alarm bells ringing.
Very interesting site, make sure you look at some of the other posts.

NO Pipelines, NO Tankers, NO Social Programs!

BC, land of the free to be hypocritical. Their greenies are protesting a pipeline to Kitimat BC because, well, just because. Okay, they are worried about oil spills from the pipeline. Do they know that a pipeline from Alberta to Vancouver has existed for over 50 years, without a spill?

As a matter of fact, even the far left Tyee, has an article that shows an increase in oil tanker traffic from Vancouver. Do the people living in Vancouver know that a oil pipeline runs under the city? One or two commentators show some common sense:

blackie

There's an appalling lack of knowledge about what that hated pipeline system actually does (and has been doing now for about 50 years), and what would happen in the Lower Mainland if it were suddenly shut down (as so many of you seem to be arguing).

1. It transports crude oil to the one remaining refinery in the Lower Mainland (there used to be four). Shut down the line, and that refinery either closes and lays everyone off, or starts importing oil in tankers (which is how it happened before they built the pipeline.)

2. It transports in batches gasoline, diesel, jet fuel etc -- all refined products -- sold in the Lower Mainland. Shut the system down, and you can put all the cars and the buses up on blocks and get your bicycles out (don't forget the snow tires). The alternative is to ship much much more of that stuff in tankers on the highways -- all the way from Edmonton. Think that's safer?

3. Yes, it ships some crude offshore in tankers, and more of it every year. No tanker spills yet. If Dogwood and First Nations opposed to the Kitimat line succeed (I think they will) then you can expect even more crude (triple, in fact) to come down the line to Vancouver. Why? Hands up all those who think it's a good idea to sell oil only to the US.

I know, you don't want Canada to sell ANY oil to ANYONE. Well, good luck with all those great social programs you like.

Funny how the opposition are yapping about no oil tankers on the west coast when they have been there for years. They also don't want a pipeline to Kitimat because the pipeline might burst or something. It's a plain case of blackmail. The environmentalists and First Nations are blackmailing the oil companies and Canadians by their lawsuits and protests. If they persist, look at what Alberta can do:

We can send it right on down to Seattle or Portland or any other destination that already has existing pipelines. Oh, my goodness, we might even be able to send that tar sands oil to eastern Canada. LOOK, we already have pipelines going to Winnipeg and Ottawa. Yikes how did that happen? Real pipelines sending real oil all across Canada and the US with no big spills. You lefties better get those pipelines shut down tomorrow because it is obviously too dangerous in high density areas. Seriously, shut them down! Stop all oil tankers from docking at the Vancouver and Halifax harbours, NOW!

In Ottawa on Tuesday, a group of environmentalists, first nations and Opposition Members of Parliament called for a West Coast ban on oil tanker traffic. Such a ban would kill the Enbridge project.
Hey lefties don't forget the East Coast too, you don't want to appear to be hypocrites do you? Oh, I forgot the Irvings OWN the east coast and they love blood oil, not Alberta's ethical oil. Talk about a monopoly that should be investigated. Suck it up sweethearts, you are blackmailing Canadian taxpayers, and we will not stand for it anymore. Stop the pipeline if you want, we will send our oil to Seattle, and they can gain the employment benefits, or Billings Montana, then we won't have to deal with BC at all.

NO pipelines, NO tankers, NO social programs!
