The Myth of UK Democracyby Richard A. GarnerAs originally posted on: The UK LibertarianNovember 12, 2010NB, I am not DavyThere is a popularly accepted belief that is sorely in need of debunking. This belief is basically in the validity of the following argument:• P1: A government is legitimate if it has been elected by the majority of the governed, and thus authorised to make decisions by, or rul

A young gallant 19 year old Canadian from Barrie, Ontario, is murdered while vacationing with his family in the Dominican Republic and our blasted media in Canada, as usual, whitewashes everything when it comes to the crimes of moslems in this country. The CBC, CTV and all the media of note in  Canada have not given the names of the murderers because they happen to be  moslems.&nbs;

Can somebody do Canada a favour and buy our Prime Minister (pro-tem) a freaking clue? I'd ask Stephen to buy it himself, but he'd only borrow the money...So Ignatieff is a 'tax and spend' Liberal...uh huh.And what does that make you, the leader of Canada's governing Conservative party? I'll give you the answer, you're a 'tax and spend' Conservative.Ya see Mr. Harper, I know this is pretty basic,

Reporting on the crisis In Egypt... Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy...followed by the crisis in the U.S (a commercial) like this nugget.Other cable news channels are similar. I suppose every nation has its priorities. A little bit of discretion - ie. not showing Cialis commercials - would have helped but then long live capitalism.

"Of the many answers offered, Sarah Palin's now infamous crosshairs map has been a target of speculative blame. Were the crosshairs too much?

Still Made in America?

Avatar Posted by Fast 1 day 16 hours ago (http://rppe.wordpress.com)
Greg Mankiw has a post up where he points his readers to an article at the Boston Globe where the author argues that claims that American manufacturing are widely exaggerated bordering on hysterical.  Greg likes this article presumably because it … Continue reading →

The environazi-sozis don't yet have the magic button to blow up opponents. They can't hang them either. But they can indoctrinate schoolchildren, ostracizing those that are not "green" enough: Marc-André Lanciault said he hadn’t heard of the school’s draw or any environmental policy until his wife, Isabel Théorêt, was making their son Félix a sandwich and he begged them not to put it in a plastic

...Maybe it's the time for concerned viewers to drop Bell ExpressVu?
