ACLU Refuses Support For Religious Free Speech In Case Of High School Valedictorian

Mulder

Dr. Roy has blogged a couple of times about Brittany McComb, a Nevada high school valedictorian who had her speech censored by the school. When McComb chose to read her original speech, despite the school editing out her religious remarks, they chose to cut off the power to her microphone, in effect, censoring her speech.

The ACLU has chosen to side with the school on this one. They say that the school is giving her the forum to speak and should have control over what she says. *screeching tires* What?? Back that up. The ACLU says that an authority should have control over what an individual says?? Am I hearing this right?

What’s the ACLU become? They certainly aren’t defenders of free speech anymore. This is the type of case they used to grab onto with those sharp canines and shake their head like a pitbull until their prey was screaming for mercy. But NOOooooo. In the case of it being religious, they have chosen to defend the school’s censorship over the student’s First Amendment rights.

The ACLU could have used this case to shake off the left leaning labels they are being painted with. But instead they have chosen to reveal that they are truly a biased agency.

Brittany is going to court strictly on free speech grounds (i.e no financial aspects) and I wish her, and her lawyers, the best.

OPPA Tries To Stifle Free Speech

OPP union tries to shut down Caledonia website

Lawyers for the union sent a letter to the website’s host service, Bluehost Inc. informing them that “the organization that identifies itself as Caledonia Wake-up Call has and continues to publish on the website words and images that are false and misleading…”

Via Nealenews

Why would an unofficial OPP Union site want to shut down the site that displays information on the Caledonia affair?  Could it be the fact they have photos of the OPP officers who sat by doing nothing while laws were broken?  Could it be that they have a petition to have the head of the OPPA removed for allegedly telling officers to not act on the illegal activites being perpetrated by the Six Nations folks who have burned bridges, Dug up public roads, destroyed a power transformer, beaten on news crews, and tried to run down officers of the law and just about destroyed the chance of any normal person wanting to visit this town?  It’s no wonder that Yellow Bellied McShifty has given a nice advertising contract to friends of the Liberal party to help advertise for the companies losing business because they are in the “war zone”.

Why is the government working on court orders to shut down websites, when they will not act on court orders to get rid of the protesters??

What a freaking mess.  They can shut down a website with some pictures and articles on the destruction the protesters are doing, but they refuse to act on the destruction itself.  McShifty is a farce of a leader who is making Ontario the laughing stock of Canada.

I Am Sick Of The CBC. It's Time To Hit Them In The Pocketbook

Mulder

Stephen Taylor has dug up one hell of a nasty video clip that was produced by the CBC. This clip is so heinous in it’s cropping of politicians statements that it goes beyond the bounds of what a state sponsored television network should be airing.

You have to SEE IT to believe it.

So how do we as citizens end this crap from being produced?

There are two places that would hurt the CBC enough to wake them up and both are financial.

1) Get the government to stop funding this dog of a network.

or

2) Hit the CBC in the pocket book via boycotting their sponsors.

Number 1) is a tough one for the average Joe to have a hand in, but Number 2) is not.

You can speak with your dollars by letting the following companies know you are very dissatisfied with their sponsorship of the CBC. Clicking a company name will take you to a webpage that let’s you submit a comment/complaint to them regarding their choice to sponsor the garbage CBC is producing.

Molson Breweries (Molson, Coors, Rickard’s, Tornade, Pilsner, Carling, Bohemian, Heineken, Corona, Miller, Foster’s, Dave’s, Murphy’s, Caffrey’s and Milwaukee’s Best)

Labatt’s Breweries (Labatt’s, Oland, Schooner, Alexander Keith’s, Columbia, Kokanee, Kootenay, Lucky, Club, Blue Star, Budweiser, Guiness, Stella Artois, Hoegaarden, Leffe Blonde, Belle-Vue Kriek, Bass, Boddington’s, Cristal, Lowenbrau and Beck’s)

I would urge people to switch to Sleeman’s or some other microbrewery in the meantime.

Home Hardware ( a special case since each store is individually owned you need to contact a store near you. Find it by clicking here)

Tim Horton’s (which will be killer on me because I do respect them for honouring the 1% GST cut)

Ford Motor Company

Imperial Oil (Esso)

If anyone has other suggestions, or knows of any other HNIC sponsors, please let me know. I would be glad to add them to the above list.

I know, I know. It sound’s like just another leftist type activist blog post but this is a right wing activist blog post. All you have to do is see the crap the CBC is producing. For other abuses of our tax dollars at work, I urge you to look at any of these links to Proud To Be Canadian’s Extensive list of CBC crap.

The Gay Bush Hating Channel Presents
Canada’s Own l’il Jihad Network

Joel has dozens of examples. Simply scroll down his page and on the left type CBC in the search box.

ADDENDUM: I have sent all my emails off to the above mentioned sponsors (except Home Hardware who has no stores in my neighbourhood). I urge you all to do the same.

City Of Ottawa Spends $780 Million (Of Mostly Federal Taxes) Moving People The Wrong Way

Mulder

The City of Ottawa with a jampacked East-West traffic thoroughfare has chosen to blow almost a billion dollars of Federal money on a North-South light rapid transit that is, in effect, a streetcar. The route will be fully electric meaning overhead wires, and despite the belief it will be a train system, it will, in effect, be a streetcar style which will:

A) put enormous stress on the already burdened power grid,
B) open up the possibility to a power failure stranding thousands of people, including the possibility of being stuck under Dow’s Lake.
C) take more power which comes from coal fired and nuclear produced electricity costing $20M per km of track when the diesel electric option would have cost $4M per km.

The city forged ahead with this plan despite the countless calls to radio shows and to councillor offices which did change the mind of a few councillors. But not enough to have the system reassessed after this falls municipal election.

The booming and growing East-West regions of Kanata and Orleans which are outpacing any other areas in the city when it comes to growth, are left in the cold at this time. So why is the transit way moving North-South? Many are wondering but I can tell you that the Mayor of Ottawa is a staunch Liberal and has made his opinion very clear when helping campaign for provincial and federal Liberals who include the McGuinty Brothers. And guess where the McGuinty brothers got elected?
Ottawa South.

Guess which directions of traffic are voting Conservative these days? Yup. East-West. Guess what part of Ottawa has jumped from 35,000 people to close to 100,000 in less than ten years? The west end of Kanata-Stittsville.
To give you an idea I have included a small map of the city. The thick red line indicates the route of the streetcar (and that’s all it really is, a glorified streetcar). The white area represents the provincial and federal ridings of Ottawa South.

(click to enlarge)

Something is REALLY fishy on this one. REALLY fishy. For those who may think that that extension across the south end of the city should discount this argument, I must point out that the majority of that extension was an afterthought when they realized how many people live in the Barrhaven area of southwest Ottawa.

Ironically, for most Barrhaven residents the bus that runs downtown will, more than likely, be eliminated and the streetcar LRT will take 15 extra minutes to reach the downtown core. When you take into account most residents of Barrhaven will need to head south via bus or car to the LRT station, the trip that used to take many 30 minutes will now take an hour. How many will just drive and save the time?

This North-South route, according to the Mayor’s own admission, is to prevent the need for a huge highway running East-West as the 401 does in Toronto,which implies that his move is to FORCE the city to grow southward and buck the trend of almost every major urban area in the world. The typical growth path for almost every city in North America is westward. This is a fact. Yet the Mayor has chosen to piss off every resident in Kanata and Stittsville by FORCING them to move east or South to avoid the long drives downtown in the jammed 417. Simple stupidity.

The legacy he thinks he is building will go down in infamy as the hated Chiarelli Streetcar. Mark my words.

Adscam2 Is Getting Interesting And It Just Might Make The Summer Fun!!

Mulder

…and this could be fun.

Steve Janke has tracked down what the $210,000 got us as citizens and it isn’t pretty. So far there are three one page advertisements that depict a few people enjoying antiquing, fishing and cycling in the Caledonia area.

Caledonia 3
Caledonia 2
Caledonia 1

I don’t know about you guys, but I think these ads could have been done with a digital camera, a few family members and Adobe Photoshop. To prove this, I would like to point you all to Stephen Taylor’s quick work in creating knock offs.

In fact, I have a feeling that there will be dozens of knock off comedic versions in the blogosphere by the end of July. Oh look!! A third one already!!

Autistic Children Left In The Cold With CUPE Doll Wannabe

Mulder

Yellow Bellied McShifty is getting his wish. Autistic children will not get IBI treatment beyond the age of 6, which will save the province quite a wad of cash.

In my fourth blog post ever (back in the early days), I posted how Ontario was “robbing autistic Paul to pay for Mary’s Peter”.

The gender reassignment surgery issue was closed last November with the tribunal stating that three of the four who were fighting to have their surgery paid for by tax payers got their wish, but the fourth (a CUPE employee) did not as he was not enrolled in the program before October 1, 1998. It also closed the door to any others entering the clinic after the 1998 date when the Harris government shut the door on paying for a pump-a-penus.

But the autistic cut being upheld will stand. Now many of the parents are either moving to Alberta and/or petitioning for a national level autism plan. I wish them, and their children well.

"Liberal" … "Advertising" … Is Your Spidey Sense Tingling Now Too?

Mulder

Well it should be.

Steve Janke has done it again. In an incredible excercise of digging up the dirt, he may have just caught that Yellow Bellied McShifty with his pants down.

It is no secret that businesses in Caledonia are suffering because of the land dispute. The provincial government, run by the Liberals under Premier Dalton McGuinty, has offered to help.

In true Liberal fashion, they are offering to help with advertising.

…

An advertising agency that works in the Hamilton area called Play Advertising was awarded the contract.

The head of the firm is Brian Torsney. His sister is Paddy Torsney, a former Member of Parliament for Burlington for the federal Liberals. Burlington is near Hamilton. From 1985 to 1989, she was a special assistant to David Peterson, at the time the Liberal premier of Ontario.

The same David Peterson who was assigned the task of negotiating on behalf of the province in the Caledonia dispute.

Interesting.

Interesting indeed. I highly urge you all to go read this.

I think we are, once again, getting Officially Screwed by a Liberal and their ad agency friends.

Do You Know This Moron?

Mulder

So you know, that is the National War Memorial this asshole is urinating on.

Asshole urinating on War Memorial

Morons like this should be strung up by their eyelids and kicked in the balls until they blink. I think if someone knows anyone who wears a tan belt with bell bottom blue jeans and white bowling shoes they should give this guy a good swift kick in the teeth.

People need to take their kids by the hand at a young age and teach them what this memorial represents. I’ve done it every Canada Day we spend downtown with my kids and will continue to do so until they get it.

H/T to DustMyBroom

ADDENDUM The CBC had pictures of two more assholes. I took screenshots and have cropped them into this blogpost. I am willing to bet that these guys have probably bragged to friends about their accomplishments. These guys shouldn’t be too hard to find. Someone has to know who they are or was with them on this night.

Asshole 3 urinating on War Memorial 2006
Asshole 2 Urinating on War Memorial

Simply one of the saddest displays of Canadianism I have heard of. These guys wre obviously not down on Parliament Hill to celebrate Canada’s birthday, but probably just there for the party and concert. If you ever have the urge to go to Parliament Hill for A Party and not THE PARTY, don’t bother. I am sure the majority of Canadians would prefer you just stay home, get drunk there and piss in your toilet or your pants when you pass out.

Assholes. I hope your friends see these photos and razz you until you go down to the local Legion and scrub their toilets for a few weeks as a way to apologize for your disrespect and disgrace.

Behind Every Scary Man …

Mulder

… is an even scarier woman!

I know I know, I replaced the word “great” but you HAVE TO READ THIS ARTICLE FROM BEGINNING TO END to understand why. (i.e. all four pages)

Wives of four of the central figures arrested last month were among the most active on the website, sharing, among other things, their passion for holy war, disgust at virtually every aspect of non-Muslim society and a hatred of Canada. The posts were made on personal blogs belonging to both Mr. Amara and Ms. Farooq, as well as a semi-private forum founded by Ms. Farooq where dozens of teens in the Meadowvale Secondary School area chatted. The vast majority of the posts were made over a period of about 20 months, mostly in 2004, and the majority of those were made by the group’s female members.

I could not stop reading how these wives crying foul on the news following the arrests were, in many cases, more anti-Canadian than their arrested husbands.

I would even go so far as to ponder why people like Ernst Zundel are arrested for hate literature while these ladies roam free and harp to our media how their husbands are innocent. (One would think that if these women were pushing their husbands to commit Jihad, they may find themselves charged with the same crimes their husbands are charged with.)

City Of Ottawa Join Ranks Of Thieving Cities And Misdirects Anger To Cabbies

Mulder

The City Of Ottawa has joined Toronto and Edmonton in stealing our GST cut.

From CFRA Radio website:

Ottawa taxi patrons will not benefit from a one per cent cut in the GST on Canada Day.

The Conservatives will reduce the GST to six per cent on July 1st, but the savings will not show up on the meter for the price of a cab ride.

The City of Ottawa includes all taxes in the fare.

CFRA News has learned the savings from any GST cut will go into the pockets of cab drivers.

Bylaw Services Manager Susan Jones says the GST cut will offset any increased costs to operate a taxi in the City of Ottawa.

The Canada Revenue Agency says businesses don’t have to lower their prices. As of July 1, businesses must remit six per cent of the GST but what you pay may not change.

You notice the City tries to play the GST into cab drivers pockets. The truth of the matter is the City is taking our money and they are choosing to give the exact same amount to the cabbies. The choice to take it and the choice in how to spend it is the City of Ottawa’s.

And they have chosen to take it and give it to cabbies. I am not upset with cabbies. But I am ticked off with the City.

They have Officially Screwed us again.
