ARARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH … Just Shoot Me

Mulder

Arar Chronicles from CitizenSo I got up this morning and flipped open the big 24 page Arar section in my Sunday edition of the Ottawa Citizen. For some reason, it just didn’t have quite as much information for me and the text just wasn’t cutting it for my audio/visual personality. (image is from actual Ottawa Citizen website)

This drove me to flip on the boobtube and I caught a couple of hours of CTV-Ararnet. For those of you not on digital cable … you lose!! But for some reason, they missed some of the choice audio clips that I was really looking forward to hearing today. (I read about them on Dear Arar, the syndicated advice column designed for people who missed out on past Arar events.)

So I proceeded to turn on my Sirius digital satellite radio to listen to the 24/7 Arar call in talk radio show called Arar You Sirius? and dialled in a few times to try to ask about these hidden audio gems. No dice. The lines were packed with angry callers from Damascus demanding photos of his Syrian passport.

So, I just did the same old, same old and visited the www.arar.youtube.com hoping one of the Arararrazzi caught some good cellular phone video footage that they uploaded. Now and then I find some really awesome audio to go along with the video.

Barring this, I will just have to catch that Gemini winning, CBC reality show Terror Error – The Maher Arar Affair. Season 5 is available on DVD in time for Christmas. (nudge nudge wink wink to my wife)

Zimbabwe Cheers Two More Years Of Mugabe … NOT!!!

Mulder

I was sickened when I read that Robert Mugabe is being encouraged to stay on as the dictator , errrrr… evil head of errrr… Satanistic leader errrrr… head of the Zanu PF party for two more years.

His head of security even went so far as to suggest he stay on for life, which would be a slap in the face of democracy. After raping the country of it’s riches for years, the Zanu PF party may be starting to see some dissent, which will probably be a good thing.

As many of you who read this blog regularly know, I am not a big fan of Robert Mugabe as indicated by my posts here, here and here.

H/T to Dr. Roy for this one.

Peace Moonbeam Sums Up The Democrats View On Iraq Best

Mulder

I really have to commend my left leaning, ultra sarcastic, flower child Americano friend Peace Moonbeam. She has a couple of new posts up that just have me in stitches. Below are a couple of quotes. Like these gems with regards to Nancy Pelosi and the Dems taking control of both houses and their plans on Iraq.

First and foremost, I asked her how quickly the Democrats were going to press their plan for victory in Iraq. Nancy said as soon as they think up a plan, they were going to ram it through. When questioned further, she said she was pretty sure their strategy would probably involve some sort of rapid retreat as soon as possible. “Our goal will most likely be an orderly and dignified exit like we did in Vietnam, only hopefully without the millions of people being slaughtered after we leave,” she said

You have to love her toungue in cheek style.

By far the most urgent need is to achieve victory in Iraq. As we discussed earlier, the only way to achieve this victory is to leave as soon as possible. Some prominent Democratic leaders have called for pullouts within four to six months.

(She almost sounds as right wing as Mark Steyn…now you know why I like her!!)

I’ve done some figuring and with the Dems’ proposed “Forces Leaving Early Expeditiously” plan (FLEE), I calculate over 378.3 terrorists will not be created every week we are gone. These men and women will instead most likely become professors, doctors, and nurses.

And the last word on the Dems lack of a plan on what to do about Iraq?

Troops out, lawyers in, build water parks. All better.

The World Now Knows Their Gravy Train Has Left The Station

Mulder

Right now the Kyoto countries make up 30% of the man made green house gas emissions.

Right now two of the biggest polluters, the USA and China, are not on board.

Right now, thanks to the Conservatives and Rona Ambrose, the third world countries that are starting to thrive on microcredit are looking for a new kid to rob of his lunch money, because us Canadians have learned some karate and are standing up for ourselves.

Right now, environmentalistas are screaming out loud in an effort to shame Canada into supporting the rest of the world with Kyoto credits, thus enabling the rest of the world to rape us of a percentage of our natural resources via treaties.

Right now countries like Saudi Arabia are laughing while they charge full price to the USA and other free countries for oil without putting a dime into Kyoto because, believe it or not, Saudi Arabia is considered a developing country.

You heard me right. They are considered a developing country. One of the 100+ nations signed on to Kyoto who won’t pay a dime, while nations like Canada, that pump far less fossil burning fuels into the world market pay.

As a developing country, Saudi Arabia would not be subject to emissions cuts under Kyoto, a requirement only binding 30 industrialised nations. Some 135 nations have formally given their support to the pact.

Think about that. A nation like Canada gets petitioned left right and center for things like better equality for women or to dish out our fare share of money to Kyoto and to stifle our economy, while one of the richest nations in the world, Saudi Arabia, pumps millions of barrels of oil a day without penalty. And then they turn around and treat women like a piece of trash.

Saudi Arabia had a GDP in 2005 of rougly $350 Billion and a surplus of roughly $28B surplus yet they whined throughout the Kyoto negotiations at the thought of losing $19B in oil revenue by the year 2010.

Yet do you see Greenpeace or other agencies giving Saudi Arabia any “dinosaur of the day” awards at the UN Climate Change Conference?? NoooOOOoooooo…… They just harp about Canada coming clean and stating we will not meet our Kyoto requirements and threaten to take us to some world level court.

And why do you think they would do that? Because they want their pound of flesh from of our resource-rich nation. Well I for one am glad that Minister Ambrose is on the job and telling the world the truth about what Canada will do and what we won’t do.

Julia Langer WWFNow here’s the kicker. Yesterday, Monday November 13th on Canada AM I heard Julia Langer from the World Wildlife Fund harping about how global warming is causing drought in Canada and lowering the water levels and that it would continue to do so on a global level.

*Screeeeeeeech*

What?? Global warming will LOWER water levels??? Has the left not brainwashed us into thinking the melting icecaps will flood the low lying areas of the planet displacing or killing millions of people in the process??

I am just about fed up with the left and their fearmongering. We just can’t win. Global warming will flood us. Global warming will dry out our lakes. Oh and did I tell you?? Global warming will slow down your internet connection and turn your hair blue. Global warming will kill your dog, break up your marriage and get your teenage daughter pregnant too!!

Be scared!!! Be very scared!!!

Liberals Misinterpret Anti-Israeli For Anti-Jew … There IS A Difference

Mulder

Late last week Prime Minister Harper made a comment that virtually all the Liberal leadership candidates are anti-Israeli.

In the ensuing days, the same candidates are all defensive about the comment. And in EVERY defence I heard, the candidate in question made allusions to the Jewish religion and how the comment was blatantly false. But was it??

I have some news for the Liberals out there. Israel may have been formed as a homeland for the Jews, but it is also a holy place for people of Christian and Muslim faith. Jerusalem is a holy city to all three religions. Christ was born in Bethlehem.

So when the PM makes a statement that the Liberals are anti-Israel, it should not be misinterpreted by anyone as anti-Jew. To do so would just insult those of us who know that the two are different. It is in fact a statement against a nation, not a religion. And for people like Bob Rae to play the sympathy card is simply wrong.

If you don’t believe me, try reading more about the differences at Jews Against Zionism.

Follow The Bouncing Moonbat Ball

Mulder

Follow along now…

1) Canada’s Liberal Government gave China $50 Million a year in humanitarian aid.
2) China in turn has been providing food and aid to starving North Koreans
3) Kim Jong Poofyhead has been starving his people to live a lavish life and develop nuclear weapons
4) North Korea has claimed to have detonated a nuclear bomb
5) Nuclear bombs generate massive amounts of heat and radiation which is brutal for the environment

Yet….

Every moonbat leftwing nutbar website is criticizing the Tory Clean Air Act and not the North Koreans. If the DPRK is even mentioned it’s to shift the blame somewhere else or to condone the detonation.

Tonight on The Hour, even George Strombolopolous threw out a joke that blamed the CBC for the North Korean nukes. Way to turn a global event into a cute self deprecating joke George. < sarcasm>Nice job.< / sarcasm>

Go figure. I guess to get a lefty to complain about a nuclear bomb going off, it would need to be detonated by George Bush. Although if that happened, you would see thousands of the environmentalistas picketing the US Embassy.

PM Harper Faces Down The Francophonie Nations And Wins

Mulder

The story below just blows me away with pride. Our Prime Minister has clearly shown Canada that he is a leader. Today he showed the world.

Members of the Francophonie summit have agreed to a compromise on a contentious resolution after Prime Minister Stephen Harper blocked the original proposal.

The original wording of the resolution recognized Lebanon’s suffering in this summer’s 34-day conflict, but not Israel’s.

Harper took a strong stance against the Egyptian-proposed resolution which most of the 72 members supported. He urged the organization to recognize the suffering of both nations.

After returning to the conference table to hammer out the wording of the resolution, the French-speaking states eventually agreed unanimously to support a compromise that called for the end of hostilities and a return to calm.

“They spent much of the afternoon at the conference table re-drafting a resolution with the wording Harper wanted,” said CTV’s Rosemary Thompson reporting from the summit.

Smackdown – Karzai Not Meeting Layton?

Mulder

Walking out the front door I just heard that Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has accepted invitations to meet with PM Stephen Harper and leader of the opposition Liberals Bill Graham, but that Jack Layton’s request to meet with Karzai has not received a response.

It may yet come, but if it doesn’t it serves Jack right.  You reap what you sow Jack, and you planted a big bunch of shitseeds in Afghanistan.  Now you can eat the shitburgers that your planting has sown,

ASIDE: today you should stop by here between noon and 1pm to see how big the gathering is that is taking place on Parliament Hill.

Is Afghanistan Winnable? Damn Straight It Is!!

Mulder

It may take several years and an hard border between Pakistan erected, but it is possible.

I hear so many people say that the Russians couldn’t do it with over 100,000 troops. Well the Russians had to face an American backed force when they came to Afghanistan. The battle took place at the height of the cold war and may in fact been a big part of how the Americans sucked the resources out of the Soviet Union, which helped them win the cold war.

This time, the strong American economy, the strong Canadian economy and the strong British economy are behind the stabilization. The Russians may or may not be involved on the other side of the fence, but I really don’t think it matters. The need to treat Afghanistan like a meat grinder is starting to show. If the west puts in small amounts of troops, they will just be ground to bits slowly but surely by the populous militants flowing back and forth across the Afghanistan/Pakistan border. But if you stuff the meat grinder with so much meat that it can’t turn, the grinder comes to a halt.

The Canadians are on the brink of shaming the French and Germans into sending more troops to help in the south. The Americans are calling for more troops. Even Bill and Hillary Clinton support this idea. Poland just announced another 1000 troops. The Canadians are mobilizing the Van Doos early. Tanks will be rolling in to choke the meatgrinder. This is what Afghanistan needs.

It’s the right move to free the Afghan people from the tyranny of living under the Taliban.

Why We Need To Teach Geography Better Than We Do

Mulder

Today I had the opportunity to work for three or so hours at a booth for the riding association that promotes our Minister of Defence at a local fair. We had our literature and maple leaf pins and little Canada flags out which are a hit with the kids, but we also had a few big art books out for people to write a message to the troops which our Minister of Defence would take with him the next time he gets to Afghanistan.

I was doing my part in asking anyone who came over if they wanted to write a note to the troops and what amazed me was that I had so many parents turn to their kids and say “Do you want to right a note to the army in Iraq?”

Each and every time I made it very clear to the children (and parents) that we have no troops in Iraq but that our troops were in Afghanistan in support of a UN sanctioned mission with troops from dozens of other nations and that we were helping them stay safe so little girls and boys could go to school and learn to read and write. I tried to do this as cordially as I could so as not to offend the parents but to help them subtly understand the difference.
I was just amazed at how the moonbat brainwash machine has done it’s job in seeding the concept that Iraq and Afghanistan are one in the same.
