Dion's Bizarrely Extreme, Radical Proposal

Liberal Stephane Dion: I'll screw around with your taxes and raise the price of fuel!

Canadians have not been demanding anything remotely resembling this bizarre Liberal idea.

Nevertheless, if the Liberals come to power, they'll impose this radically extreme scheme on Canadians in order to reward their radically extreme enviro-lunatic fringe-element supporters.

It's stupid. It won't do a bloody thing to help the environment.

And it hurts the poor whilst helping the rich. Yes... think about it. Who would pay higher fuel prices but not benefit from much, if any, tax reductions? The poor, that is... for they pay little or no tax. And the rich pay lots of tax, can afford to blow lots of money on fuel, and will reap massive tax cuts...

Yep. The Liberals really do, as they claim every day, care about the poor as opposed to the rich. Yep. Suuuuure.

Maybe the leftists ought to vote Conservative instead, for the Conservatives have been very, very good to the poor, compared to how the Liberals have treated, and propose to treat, the poor.

This enviro-lunacy thing is going to devastate folks at the lower end of the income scale if the Liberals come to power. Meanwhile, in Canada, no one can guarantee that, due to carbon taxation, fuel consumption will decline; ditto greenhouse gas emissions (fuel prices have already skyrocketed, with no corresponding decline in consumption, unless I'm missing further findings). In fact, elsewhere in the world, fuel consumption and ghg emissions will continue to skyrocket. And the Liberals will punish Canadians for the Axis of Evil's greedy, filthy, polluting behavior. Again we see the Liberals favoring the non-free world over the free world, and particularly Canada. Therefore the Liberals are un-Canadian, anti-Canadian...

But it's not just the poor who won't be impressed with the Liberals' latest stupid idea. Most Canadians aren't asking for such a radical tinkering with their taxes and will rightly suspect a potential shell game and broken promises. That's right, folks... the Liberals would probably just impose a massive, all-over-the-place, carbon tax whilst not cutting taxes in other areas. Or, if they do cut income taxes as they claim, then they'll counterbalance the cuts with their proposed hike in the GST.

What a dumb idea. Then again, we're talking about Liberals.

And, don't forget, what the likes of Al Gore and the wholly-discredited "United Nations" creature, the "IPCC", are selling us is not proven, is just a hypothesis, a belief, almost a religion... sounds like a cult hellbent on taking our money away, doesn't it?

Poor Get Richer Under Harper Conservatives: StatsCan

Story here.

The Left likes to accuse conservatives of causing the poor to get poorer, but now we know that they're wrong about that. In fact, under the Conservative government of Stephen Harper, Canada's poor actually got richer.

OTTAWA - The rich did not get richer in 2006, but the poor did, according to a Statistics Canada report yesterday.

Maybe the Liberals, NDP and Bloc ought to get some new accusatory talking points, seeing as the Conservatives made the poor, not the rich, richer. No longer can they accuse the Tories of "making the rich richer and the poor poorer".

Conservatism is better for the alleviation of poverty than is socialism, therefore. StatsCan data prove it. Not only are more people working, those on the lower end of the income scale are making more money as well. How can anyone oppose this? Only the Left would, as it's an inconvenient truth that just might take the wind out of their sails.

As a result of strong economic growth and gains in employment, pre-tax family income rose by 2.1% after inflation -- an increase for the third consecutive year, Statistics Canada said.

And thanks to increases in government transfers, aftertax incomes also rose by 2.1%.

So we have both economic growth and the government helping some people via transfers. See? We don't need more multibilliondollar social programs after all! Are you listening, Libs, Dippers and Blocqistes?

Well, read the whole thing and see how conservatism is making Canada and Canadians better off. Only a moron would oppose conservatism now and turn to socialism.

Those who vote for the socialist parties now have another compelling reason to vote Conservative instead.

Oh, and don't forget that there have been significant tax cuts for everyone under the Conservatives, too, so the improvement is actually even better than the above alone indicates.

Who in their right mind would vote for anyone other than the Conservatives now?

Canada Revenue Agency Spending Like Drunken Sailors

How dare they abuse our tax dollars like that?

OTTAWA–Your tax dollars at work: Canadians who just figured out how much of their hard-earned cash to send to Ottawa may be surprised to learn that more than $40,000 was spent on a new washroom in the office suite of the top taxman.

What? A special, exclusive bathroom just for the Supreme Overlord of the Tax Collectors! For $40,000!

Talk about the culture of entitlement! What, does he think he's too important to pee and poo and fart in the same places as his lowly underlings?

William Baker, commissioner of the federal revenue-collecting department, laid out between $40,000 and $45,000 on the project last year, according to documents obtained under access-to-information legislation.

And it's just the tip of the iceberg!

It's but one example of hefty spending by the people who oversee the collection of Canadians' taxes.

Read about it...

Must be a lot of Librano$$$ in the Canada Revenue Agency. I know there's some Dippers, at least...

And I know for a fact, having once worked there on a temporary contract, that nepotism in hiring is eye-openingly rampant and seen as perfectly normal at the Agency.

Ironically, I helped them save a lot of money by helping them eliminate tens of thousands of dollars per annum in wasteful spending in one Tax Services Office. Now I learn that they're wasting money on other stuff anyway!

What are we paying taxes for, really? Some kind of shell game?

Obama's New Pastor No Better Than Old One

Otis Moss

Story here.

Maybe Barack Obama ought to go to a different church.

Ugh. Just read it for yourself. Another paranoid, racist, anti-American nutcase.

Why is Obama still with that church? Does he agree with what the pastors say? Sure, he says he disagrees, but how do we know he's telling us the truth? After all, he's a politician... and, yeah, sure, politicians always tell us the truth, don't they, eh?

British Say "NO!" To "Green Tax"

The British People overwhelmingly reject "climate change" hatemongering and indicate that they don't want to pay for the enviro-lunatics' pet projects.

More than seven in 10 voters insist that they would not be willing to pay higher taxes in order to fund projects to combat climate change, according to a new poll.

The survey also reveals that most Britons believe "green" taxes on 4x4s, plastic bags and other consumer goods have been imposed to raise cash rather than change our behaviour, while two-thirds of Britons think the entire green agenda has been hijacked as a ploy to increase taxes.

Also...

Three in 10 (29 per cent) of all respondents would oppose any more legislation in support of green policies, while close to a third of citizens (31 per cent) believe that green taxes will have no discernible effect on the environment since people will still take long-haul flights regularly and drive carbon-heavy vehicles.

You know, the greenie-heads don't realize that there's significant resistance amongst the ordinary folk. They don't see the eventual political pushback coming.

Sorry, but we're not going to suffer just because some nutcases think we're destroying the planet and must stop living our lives and so on to stop this destruction.

Moonbat Spotlight: NDP's Pat Martin

Pat Martin, unhinged again

Story here. ht: NationalNewswatch.com

Funny, but I've been accused of the same silly nonsense by similar leftwing dummies in the blogosphere.

OTTAWA–The Conservative Party has been accused of fanning anti-Toronto sentiment by targeting NDP Leader Jack Layton in a controversial campaign that portrays him as an Ontario-centric politician who doesn't understand western Canada.

The literature includes a photo of Layton and the CN Tower in the background with the message that he is out of touch with the issues in provinces west of Ontario.

So? What's "hateful" about saying that someone's out of touch with an entire region of Canada? The Leftist Opposition always make that sort of accusation against the Conservatives, yet when the Conservatives do it, it's "hatemongering"? Oh, puh-leez! Telling it like it is isn't "hatemongering".

But the communistic NDP's Pat Martin has a major brainfart and actually says it is:

"Those leaflets are hate-mongering, plain and simple, towards Toronto, trying to vilify somebody because of where they come from. We don't circulate pamphlets with (Prime Minister) Stephen Harper next to an oil derrick or the Husky Tower as if that was a reason to hate a person," Martin said.

Oh, for heaven's sake, Patty, grow a brain. It's fair political commentary, dude, and everyone does it. In fact, your own people make unfair political commentary and don't get labelled "hateful".

Also, how can you tell whether someone actually feels that emotion? What makes you think you can tell? Really, you can't, unless you're a mind-reader or some kind of empath.

The pamphlet refers to Layton's so-called "... political bosses at the big special interest groups in Toronto and Ottawa."

Well, I agree with those pamphlets. They tell it like it is about the ultra-extreme left-winger, "Taliban Jack" Layton. He does pander to radically extreme special interests and doesn't understand nor care about the concerns and grievances of the ordinary Canadian, as far as I'm concerned. He certainly doesn't seem to give a damn what I think and what I need as a Canadian. He's all about currying favor with extremists on the Far Left and with Islamizers so as to win their votes, with a view to winning more seats in the next election so as to try to further radically leftify Canada for his zealous supporters. And, of course, his policies with respect to energy in general are anti-Western. And anti-Newfoundland and anti-Nova Scotia, as those provinces are also energy-rich. The "climate change" hatemongering Mr. Layton spews does nothing to help his image at all in such provinces, therefore the pamphlets, I believe they're correct.

Oh, and it is noted that the NDP has virtually no seats in Saskatchewan nor Alberta, both western oil-rich provinces. Wonder why?

And what's up with the Left's bizarre fetish for accusing people of "hatemongering" just for saying something different from what Leftists say? It's really, really stupid and speaks about the Left rather than about those they accuse of feeling that emotion.

Defence Minister Orders Soldiers: No Talks With Taliban

Story here. ht: NationalNewswatch.com

KANDAHAR, AFGHANISTAN -- Members of the Canadian military who have been encouraging low- and mid-level Taliban to talk with Afghan authorities were out of line, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said yesterday.

(...)

"They certainly don't speak for the government of Canada," MacKay said from Halifax. He repeated the Conservatives' hardline stand that Canada does not negotiate directly with terrorists.

The idea that Canadian soldiers would be working with Afghans to encourage militants in the war-ravaged province to lay down their weapons and talk has won high praise in Kandahar City. But MacKay said reconciliation isn't something that Canadians can make happen, saying it's an "initiative that must be led by" Afghans.

Just so that there's no confusion as to whether Canada has a policy of talking to the Taliban. Some have suggested that there is such a policy, but that was just some frontline commanders/soldiers going outside the scope of their mandate.

As far as I'm concerned, there shall be no talks with terrorists unless and until they surrender unconditionally. Fat chance with most of them, unfortunately. The Taliban are far too zealously, supremacistically hateful to make peace. But I do wish that they would miraclously see the light and abandon their hatred for those who aren't perfectly "Islamic". Can't hurt to wish for miracles, can it? It's ok to hope for the failure of the Devil, who clearly is behind the likes of the Taliban and what they do.

EC 'Raid' Seized Confidential Legal Docs: Tories

Story here. h/t: Bourque.org

The party said Thursday that 17 boxes of documents, five envelopes and seven computer hard drives contain privileged legal advice and material that's irrelevant to an Elections Canada probe.

Why would Elections Canada take all that? It seems that they just pushed their way in, with armed Mounties along for intimidation purposes, and just proceeded to confiscate whatever they wanted, which was pretty much everything in sight. Why? Is this acceptable in a country based on the rule of law? Is it acceptable for the state apparatus to barge in and take whatever they want, no matter what?

Did the warrant grant them the "right" to take anything and everything? Now, that would be something, wouldn't it? Imagine the precedent it'd set. At least then, the state apparatus would then be able to barge into anyplace and seize whatever it pleased from, say, suspected terrorist organizations or foreign spy entities. Now, that would be worth such incredible, absolute power on the part of the state apparatus! So... let's not just be fascists towards the Conservative Party; let's be fascists towards suspected terrorists, spies, organized crime gangs, you name it! Let there be no limits on state apparatus search and seizure! Let it be like in the Soviet Union, where no one had any rights and the state apparatus could do whatever it wanted!

Hope the sarcasm is evident. I mean, c'mon... think, think... something is very wrong here, obviously.

Last year they filed a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Canada challenging Elections Canada's interpretation of campaign law. Senior Tories, including Prime Minister Stephen Harper, have questioned the motives for last month's raid, suggesting the elections agency may have been trying to do an end-run around the Federal Court suit.

Suspicious. It does indeed appear that the state apparatus, which is predominantly leftist, is trying to intimidate and somehow unconstitutionally, illegally, unfairly treat the Conservatives. This is dangerous.

Clearly, the state apparatus has far too much power. Oh, it's ok to do whatever they want to the Conservatives based on nothing other than accusations, but imagine the uproar if they treated terrorists, spies and criminal gangs with such absolute fascism!

Conservatives Blow Away Liberals in Fundraising

See the figures for yourself here.

h/t: NationalNewswatch.com

Even the communist "New Democrats" beat the pants off the "Liberals" in the first quarter of 2008.

The Conservatives hauled in nearly five million bucks from over 44,000 contributors whereas the Liberals couldn't even touch a million from amongst a mere 10,000 or so contributors.

Money talks.

What's the money saying? Whatever happened to the Liberals, once the mightiest money-attracting machine in Canada? Oh, that's right... no more big business, union and rich-people donations means practically nothing for the Liberals, as individual Canadians who would be stupid enough to give them any money are relatively few and far between.

No wonder the Liberals are hellbent on trying to paint the Conservatives as demons and banshees at every opportunity. It's the only thing the Liberals have going for them, this demonization. They can't make the case against the government (they actually keep on supporting the government even though they claim to oppose it, if one can suspend one's disbelief to accept such a bizarre pattern of Liberal behavior) and its policies/performance, so they try to say, "Hey, these guys are bad! Just trust us; never mind proof, never mind explanations; they're bad!"

Wonder how the Liberals would be able to conduct an election campaign without enough money? Oh, that's right: They simply can't, therefore they'll do anything to avoid facing the voters the hard way, so they support the Conservatives' excellent policies so as to avoid causing an election to be held.

Oh, well... at least the Liberals are pragmatic. When they need to be, anyway.

Unlawfully Confined By Islamofascists For Photographing NY Mosque

Story here. Read it all. This particular mosque bears close scrutiny. Very close...

If you tarry in front of the Masjid At-Taqwa in the Bedford-Stuyvesant district and dare to take a photo, you might get hauled away by a group of angry Muslims in Islamic attire to the basement of the facility where a group of twenty “security guards” in karate suits will interrogate you.

This sounds preposterous.

But it happened on a weekend in late April at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Ali Kareem, the head of security for Siraj Wahaj’s mosque, conducted the grilling. A small, muscular man with a wispy black beard that has been dyed red with henna, Kareem demanded to know the reason why a trio of kafirs had dared to photograph the building on a public street without securing his permission.

Since when is it forbidden to take pictures in public in America?

Leftists don't have a problem when Muslims/Middle-Eastern-looking men take pictures of nuclear power facilities, military installations, bridges, gas pipelines, Synagogues, etc...

If Christians had done this to Muslims for photographing a Church, you can rest assured that they'd end up in prison for unlawful confinement motivated by "hate".

I hope these Islamofascists face the law for their unlawful, unconstitutional action against innocents who just happened to be "Kaffirs".

There appears to be more to this mosque than meets the eye. Better read the whole story at the link. The names of certain folks connected to the mosque will raise some eyebrows for their notoriety...
