Stocking Full of Stuff

Before the big feast…

To be clear, CAIR-CAN is an extremist group whose support of Hamas would never be tolerated in a sane country, so YES, it matters that Justin Trudeau trolls an Islamist conference for votes.

(two paws up)

Obama, who never found a tragedy, funeral or press conference he could exploit, is now on a four million dollar holiday while  about 35% of the American working population is either unemployed or under-employed and 47.7 million Americans are on food stamps.

So how’s your Christmas?

(and I thank you)

Then there’s this:

A new study from the widely respected National Bureau of Economic Research released this week has confirmed beyond question that the left’s race-baiting attacks on the housing market (the Community Reinvestment Act–enacted under Carter, made shockingly more aggressive under Clinton) is directly responsible for imploding the housing market and destroying the economy.

(emphasis mine)

Also, the Democrats opposed the Thirteenth Amendment which outlawed slavery.

Carry on.

If you want the government to look after you all the time, you can’t block highways. It leaves little Zamboni money for the rest of the shiftless, corrupt chiefs.

Or, you could enter the twenty-first century and live as Canadians with some modicum of dignity and self-worth.

Up to you.

North Korea has detained a man for what it calls “crimes”:

North Korea said Friday that it has detained an American citizen who has confessed to unspecified crimes.

State media said in a short dispatch that someone named Bae Jun Ho entered North Korea on Nov. 3 as a tourist but was detained because of crimes.

The North said the crimes were "proven through evidence" but didn't elaborate.

How right he is:

Pope Benedict, indicating the Vatican's desire to forge alliances with other religions against gay marriage, on Friday said the family was threatened "to its foundations" by attempts to change its "true structure".

The pope made his latest denunciation of gay marriage in a Christmas address to Vatican officials in which he blended religion, philosophy, anthropology and sociology to illustrate the position of the Roman Catholic Church.

He threw the full weight of his office behind a study by France's chief rabbi on the effects the legalisation of gay marriage would have on children and society.

"There is no denying the crisis that threatens it to its foundations - especially in the Western world," the pope said, adding it had to be protected because it is "the authentic setting in which to hand on the blueprint of human existence".

The 85-year-old pope, speaking in the frescoed Clementine Hall of the Vatican's Apostolic Palace, said the family was being threatened by "a false understanding of freedom" and a repudiation of life-long commitment in heterosexual marriage.

"When such commitment is repudiated, the key figures of human existence likewise vanish: father, mother, child - essential elements of the experience of being human are lost," the leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholic said.

Well, it’s true. If a child’s first years weren’t important or impacted by whoever is raising him, there would be no need for special-interest groups to “co-parent”.

Oh, they’ll be angry anyway.

What’s all this talk about the Mayan Alpaca-lips
