I've Got Mail

I like it when people leave me comments (thank you, everyone) or drop me a line like this little note pertaining to the previous post:

sounds like your a racist

What was it? Was the name rant a little too much? Was the inclusion of the chili con carne recipe out-of-line? If Mr. or Miss Anonymous could qualify his/her comment for me, that would be great. Also, if I could get the rules concerning capitalisation and how to form contractions, that would also be nice.

Ad Infinitum

Barack Obama, Democratic presidential hopeful and poseur extraordinaire, proved his aspirations to greatness don’t need the experience or stature of previous politicians. Obama gave a grand speech at the site of the Berlin Wall, where John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan once stood and delivered their grand speeches. Obama, bereft of any achievements while in office but not in hubris, implored Europeans to join together in fighting terrorism and to tear down walls, very much like the ones someone else before him tore down through great effort. Obama’s pull-out plan for Iraq, milquetoast approach to tyrants, and unreasonable plans for Supreme Court judgeship do not mirror his audacious oration in Germany but what a speech!

I’m not sure what the attraction is with Barack Obama, or why anyone would give him the credit he does not deserve. He has been loathe to play the race card but it’s the only reason why celebrities back him. He has been upfront about various liberal views, hidden the Islam factor in his background, demanded others speak languages he himself cannot speak, deflected questions and has no experience in areas that would require focus and strength if elected president. Whatever one may think of Reagan, he earned his place to speak in Berlin. Obama’s appearance there merely shows him as a rider on coattails.

Maybe liberal social engineers can point how certain people put their selfish needs ahead of children.

I don’t care what crap I get for saying this but I will say it anyway: naming a child Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii, Fish and Chips, Apple, Taylor, Hayden, Montana, Dakota, Aiden, Kyla, Sierra, Hailey, Bailey, Cayley, Pax, Jermajesty, Tanisha or anything else in a similar vein is tantamount to child abuse. Anyone who gives their child such a name is a bad person for condemning said child to a lifetime of after-school beatings, cock-eyed stares and repeated questions like: “Is that your real name?” and “What’s wrong with you?” Children are people and shouldn’t have to flee the province and change their name from Brayden to something infinitely less gay. There are plenty of good and interesting names out there and failure to use them shows the parent as a person incapable of human warmth and intelligence. Use a good name for your kid (like Megatron, maybe- or not).

In conclusion, run, do not walk, to the nearest Ten Thousand Villages and purchase a Divine Orange Milk Chocolate bar. The secret ingredient to this fair-trade product is love- and cocoa beans! It will be your undoing- but that's good! Also, check out what else might be good and delicious.

Random Thoughts

A study in New Brunswick found that judges often waived a fee meant for victims of crimes ranging from theft to drunk driving. The fee was meant to be paid by criminals as a means of restitution. The jurists in question believed claims that the offenders were hardly in a position to pay the federal victim surcharge and also felt many were themselves victims of hardships. It is for this reason- if not for others- that judges should be elected. Let the community decide who is a fair and competent adjudicator. I would like to see how many judges would waive restitution for thoughtless and violent criminals when they knew their judgeships would be in jeopardy from victims whose stores had to be refurbished after being vandalised or victims of drunk drivers.

Archaeologists are about to open the Pyramid of the Sun forty kilometers outside of Mexico City. Sweet.

It is believed that Iran may target Canadian troops in Afghanistan with short-range missiles. Given the propensity of the Canadian government to do nothing about its own citizens killed by the Iranian government and the major players on the world stage to let Iran do whatever it wants, this potential threat could very well escalate if true. Why Iran would drag its own people into a war, I do not know. This is just one reason why dictators should be dealt with. How many Burmas, Robert Mugabes, Kim Dynasties or Ayatollahs will it take before people stop seeing their problems as our problems?

China has received another blow to its already tarnished image. Just weeks before the slave Olympics, the Chinese government is ensuring that visiting athletes are fed the best organic produce it would never dream of giving to its own people. For athletes to bring their own food after numerous toy recalls, tainted pet food and toothpaste, cheap lead and uranium-laced products, beatings, abuse, censorship, religious oppression, countless vetoes and just being plain rude to Koreans would be embarrassing.

All right- here is the math. Two-thirds of Canadians support protection for the unborn. Over ninety percent of poll respondents stated that Morgentaler should not have received the (now meaningless) Order of Canada. Morgentaler gets $11 million for killing babies and reusing single-use medical instruments. He is a liar, blackmailer, insolent hate-monger and braggart. He could tell me rain was wet and I wouldn’t believe him. Though it is doubtful he will ever have to return the award due to the major embarrassment it would cause the Canadian government and the Polaroids, that still doesn’t mean Morgentaler is a man of honour or integrity. After all, it doesn’t take much of a man to snuff out a ten centimeter tall human being.

Read about Omar Khadr crying like a girl here. If you wonder why I show a shocking amount of distain for this would-be terrorist, keep in mind he killed an American medic, will more than likely be released if ever returned to Canada and his family are bunch of freeloaders.

An American deserter has lost his bid to stay in Canada. Good. As he was not forced into the army (the US Army stopped the draft in 1973) and did not claim "conscientious objector" status, he cannot come into Canada, curry favour with willing females or smoke weed. His problem is with his government, not with Canada. Canada should not be a haven for criminals, terrorists or freeloaders who have the woeful impression that Canada is a socialist and pacifist paradise.

Happy Independance Day

What the Hell...?

Can someone please explain how someone masquerading as a physician has been awarded Canada's highest honour instead of someone who- for example- fed the hungry or helped the homeless?

Despite how some feel about Morgentaler, the truth of the matter is he divides people, revolts people, has not cured diseases, nor has he eliminated poverty, promoted equality or advanced the causes of marginalised people anywhere. He has gotten paid to kill children (and he's also an extortionist).

Since when were the causes of poverty and hunger elimination passe?

Thanks a Bunch, CANADA!
