Good.

Now only if he did that when health care reform was being hammered out and then perhaps every American would  have had a shot at decent health care. But I digress… I only hope that this is the beginning and that Obama stops attempting to play nice with the rethuglicans and trying to please the tea-bagger hit parade, the Fox News crowd and the Rush Limbaugh machine.

Here’s some of what President Obama had to say on the subject:

Recently, attention has been focused on the construction of mosques in certain communities – particularly in New York. Now, we must all recognize and respect the sensitivities surrounding the development of lower Manhattan. The 9/11 attacks were a deeply traumatic event for our country. The pain and suffering experienced by those who lost loved ones is unimaginable. So I understand the emotions that this issue engenders. Ground Zero is, indeed, hallowed ground.

But let me be clear: as a citizen, and as President, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country. That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances. This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakeable. The principle that people of all faiths are welcome in this country, and will not be treated differently by their government, is essential to who we are. The writ of our Founders must endure.

Why not build a Muslim Center? It’s been nearly a decade since 9/11 and it seems that no one has been really serious about building anything on Ground Zero ever since.  From what I understand, there is still a gaping hole from where the explosions happened. It would seem to me that whether one left a gaping hole or built anything on the site, there will always be painful memories associated with the area.

What many fail to see is that many Muslims were victims of those attacks as well. Perhaps they would like to remember them as well as the other victims.

Perhaps building this center could be a way of trying to bridge the differences; to show that most Muslims denounce what a bunch of extremist thugs did.

And let’s face it, every religion has blood on its’ hands. Not one denomination can come out honestly to say that their clerics and followers have practiced as they should. Every denomination has extremist socio-paths, yet we only seem to not only concentrate on the Muslim ones but we tag the entire religion to them.  We seem to ignore other extremist socio-paths when they break the law. Remember that pulagamist sect in British Columbia not that long ago? Men in their 50s, 60s and 70s marrying many women and young girls; girls as young as 12; those same girls getting raped by these men, yet we as a society ignore them and ignore those poor girls. This brings me to my next point, many claim we’re in Afghanistan to protect the young Afghan girls from Taliban attrocities but we ignore the young girls on our own soil trapped on those compounds; why is that? Many are still pleading to society to forgive the priests who abused children and shame on those of us who want them brought to justice. I’m not going to compare which crimes are more serious; only comparing and contrasting our attitudes when Muslim extremists commit attrocities in the name of their religion vs when socio-paths of other denominations commit attrocities in the name of their religion. Again, I go off topic, but I simply wanted to make a point about how bigotted and paranoid we’ve become, to the point where ignore our own religious shortcomings; to point out our own hypocrisy.

Luca Manfredi, who is actually one of the more sane blogging tories provides some interesting arguments. While he believes it’s a gamble and has some reservations, overall, he believes the project should go ahead for the following reasons:

Firstly, its location would be a poignant reminder to its attendees about what happened close by. With a good and scholarly imam it could indeed turn into a centre preaching tolerance and peace. I wouldn’t set the odds too high on that one though.

Secondly, and no less importantly, the interest surrounding it could be a stimulus for both religions to study each other without resorting to rhetoric. Right now the dialectic resembles an exchange between Mullah Omar and Fred Phelps. Understanding and tolerance can come solely through a deep mutual study, in order to see  each other’s moral and philosophical bedrock. Islam is not radical by nature, but it does lend itself to misinterpretation. If the Cordoba centre helps correct the mistakes of many, it won’t be a waste of space and money.

Thirdly, it might at last serve as a stepping stone for many budding American Islamic scholars and imams. What should be encouraged (and maybe given a little money by Bloomberg the appeaser) is a closer tie to Egypt’s Al Azhar University rather than wahhabi Saudi madrassas. I am sure there are tons of American muslim youngsters who would love to study their religion and preach it. Their dreams are hijacked by the Saudis, who groom them into radicalism. Maybe, just maybe, Cordoba could be persuaded to reverse this trend and begin breeding a generation of well-versed American imams. That would go a long way to nipping the mosque radicalisation in the bud.

Sometimes I have to wonder about folks like Tarek Fatah and Raheel Raza. They came out against the center recently. Here is their take in the Calgary Herald. I read their arguments and to me, it sounded like they were catering to paranoia.  I understand that in their way, they want to be the voices for moderate Islam; to speak up for the silent majority, but often I find they take the wrong approach. I find that they’re simply pandering to western bigotry and ignorance rather than educating and reaching out to them, thus further feeding the sociopaths who are hijacking their own faith and culture. Such suggestions like this one sound alarm bells:

If Rauf is serious about building bridges, then he could have dedicated space in this so-called community centre to a church and synagogue…

How absurd! Rauf is Muslim; as Manfredi points out, what would he know about building a synagogue or a church for that matter? About as much as a Rabbi or a minister/priest building a mosque.

I can’t help but wonder if Fatah and Raza are suggesting that the only way to build bridges is to submit to Judaio-Christian society? Come to think of it; why haven’t any Jewish or Christian organizations thought about building a church or synagogue in that area in the last nine years? While we’re at it; why hasn’t Wall Street? Or any other company or NGO?   Why did no one think of building a commemorative plaque, another suggestion of Fatah and Raza? Is everyone simply content to leave a gaping hole of where it all happened?  Someone thinks to build something and many are now presuming to tell him what to build? To build what they themselves didn’t think of building in the last nine years?

Somebody is now expressing an interest in building and it is to be an Islamic center. Mayor Bloomberg has come out in favor of this project. And now, so has President Obama.  Sure, it is hitting him in the polls, but with the gang of tea-bagger misfits in the Rethuglicans these days, he may well survive this. Hell, if he can keep his spine throughout the rest of his mandate, perhaps he could even beat Sa-wah in 2012.  It’s good to see Mayor Bloomberg standing behind the president:

“clarion defense of the freedom of religion.”

Hopefully, many more, perhaps some fellow Democrats come forth to stand with their leader on this issue.

As for the GOP and the tea-baggers all crying out “it’s a slap in the face against the 9/11 victims”; I didn’t see their outrage when lil’ Georgie & Dickie cut 77% of health care funding  and cancelled a health monitoring program to these very same victims and former workers who can no longer work.  Their newfound solidarity for these victims now to cover their own paranoia and bigotry is really hollow.

Yeah, many, including, no doubt, Fatah and Raza, probably believe that the building of this Islamic center is nothing more than a deliberate provocation; a taunt to the Americans. I highly doubt that and we should give them the benefit of the doubt. If that proves to be the case somewhere down the road, then, shouldn’t it be incumbent upon us to not fall into that trap and rise above that? Wouldn’t that be a new attitude to show to the world?

Luca Manfredi is right though; it is a gamble, but not only for the reasons he mentioned in his post.   Read some of the comments at his post if you dare; much hatred and such awful creative evil ideas from some of them. Yes, for a blogging tory, that took guts for him to write so hats to him. I commend anyone publicly taking a stand in favor of the project; Dan Delmar had nothing but screeching callers who needed rubber rooms and surprisingly, redneck Ryan came out in favor too in spite of insane callers. I can only imagine those involved with the project must be going through. I wonder how many death threats Mayor Bloomberg is getting these days? Threats with President Obama seem to be a regular happening. For those reasons,  I, too, have some reservations about the project. I’m concerned about the safety of the contractors and all the workers building this project as well as potential sabotage. If it did get built and once the new Islamic center was built, I would be concerned about the safety of its’ members trying to attend. That said,  I also believe in nothing ventured; nothing gained. I say go ahead with the project but proceed with caution.

Well, Sarah Palin wants the U.S. to go back to rules based on the 10 commandments. No surprise there. But I have a question: for her group, the bible is considered to be too liberal; to the point of Conservapedia founder, Andy Schlafly has taken it upon himself to rewrite it, to take out all that Liberal nonsense of love thy neighbour, heal the sick and condemning greed and selfishness, you know, real Christian values of social justice.

Have a listen to Sawah for yourself:

Well, no, actually, the American constitution was not influenced by the bible nor the ten commandments.  There are no references to Jesus or Christianity in the consitution, only mention of “nature’s god”.  Not surprisingly, see Sawah run is  her usual confusing self.

The principle misunderstanding of Mrs. Palin’s, is that her interpretation of “our rights to have freedom of religion” translates in her mind to ‘ the right of Christians to impose their beliefs and practices on American law, politics, society and education.’

Sound familiar? It should. It’s exactly how Steve, McVety and all their pals and supporters on the religious right think as well.

In fact, the religious right in the U.S. seem to exist solely to provide paranoid Americans comfort; to lift a sense of helplessness; a misguided notion that if they follow the bible and the rules of extreme Christianity, they would be able to fight off the evil boogie men; communists in the 1950s; Muslim Soshalists in the present.

It was not until the 1950’s, almost 200 years after the founding of the country, and during the frenetic ‘Red Scare’ days of McCarthyism, that Christian Fundamentalists were able to infuse their doctrine into the politics of a frightened and bewildered nation. It was during this time of fear-mongering about communist insurgents (like the fear-mongering about terrorists, socialists, communists etc. today), and of ideological purity tests (like the litmus tests we see among the Tea Party and conservatives today), that the people of the country were coerced into proving their anti-communist and pro-American fidelity by accepting these seemingly benign and ostensibly unifying proclamations.

There are many who ask  if there are any true fiscal conservatives or the so-called Libertarians left? It is indeed a good question. The American Tea-party movement certainly started out that way, but the religius wingnutz are taking it over.  Many now seem to look more to Sarah Palin than to the more Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul (R-Texas).  Why would that be?

As for Canada, it’s not much different.  Brother Steve admitted in 2003 that he pretty much doesn’t have the time of day for any of those economic conservatives or “neo-cons,” but would rather follow the agenda of that theo-con base; social conservatives who care passionately about hot-button issues that turn on family, crime, and defence. Even foreign policy had become a theo-con issue, he pointed out, driven by moral and religious convictions.

“The truth of the matter is that the real agenda and the defining issues have shifted from economic issues to social values,” he said, “so conservatives must do the same.”

Are they they the noisy minority? Or is that wishful thinking on our part?  In the United States, that would be debatable, but then their religious right movement is older than that of Canada’s.

Marci McDonald talks about her new book, The Armageddon Factor, The Rise of Christian Nationalism in Canada,  released today talks about the growing Evangelical Christian right sub-culture in Canada.  She says that while Canada’s Evangelical sub-culture  is a mere fraction of  the American Evangelical Christian movement, they are so well organized that they can And yes, and  whatever this book says about Brother Steve and his friends  should be confirm whatever uncertainty or doubts we may have had about Brother Steve and his friends.  Here is another preview of the book For those who wish to continue to look the other way, it will become increasingly difficult to do so.  Bene D seems to think that this is important reading. I would have to agree; it is must reading; particularly those who are skeptical about this theocratic totalitarian regime taking over.

Unlike Sawah who wears her evangelical wingnuttery on her sleeve ever so prominently,  Brother Steve does everything he could to keep his evangelical Christianity as well as his governing intentions a deep dark secret. Although,  it is becoming a secret that comes out more and more everyday. Steve and his Harpercons are also deliberately revealing the Christian Evangelical Agenda for Canada more and more.

Brother Steve did get ‘chatty’ about his  new found Christianity with Drew Marshall, a radio show host with 1250 Joy in 2003.

“Let’s jump into the Jesus stuff here,” Marshall said. “Rumour has it that you actually are a genuine follower of Christ.”

To which he responds with what  we do know but  brings up that obvious lie.

“Yes, I became a Christian in my twenties,” he replied, before acknowledging, “I don’t talk a lot about it.” Still, he attempted to reassure secular listeners who might have tuned in. “I won’t say I always keep my faith and my politics separate,” he said, “but I don’t mix my advocacy of a political position with my advocacy of faith.”

Yes, he began his conversion while hammering out the credo for the newly formed Reform Party with his mentor, Preston Manning. Read more, Preston Manning was more than just his boss, he was his spiritual advisor.  This is that same mentor and spirtitual advisor’s name that is among the top of the short list for Governor General.  Oh, imagine the horrors!

Here is more about Brother Steve’s Alliance Church here.  It is described as looking more like something we would catch on TV with those flashy evangelists  than an actual church.  Below is pretty much their mantra:

The Alliance Church, to which Harper has belonged for decades, believes Jesus Christ will return to Earth in an apocalypse, won’t ordain women, strongly opposes abortion and divorce, condemns homosexuality as the most base of sins and believes those who aren’t born-again are “lost.”

Pretty much every evangelical from either Canada or the U.S. or anywhere  would say that if one wasn’t ‘born-again’, they’re lost.  Well, that’s where that cult type of recruitment comes in to play. Don’t cults generally succeed in recruiting members who are ‘lost’? The majority of those ‘centrists’ who find nothing inspiring about Canadian politics could get inspired by this growing movement to propell Canada back to the dark ages.

It’s also how Sawah maintains such popularity; it is why she could well end up  President of the U.S.  in 2012.   She is giving something back to Americans; something to believe in again; that religious movement that got all but lost since Barak Obama took office.

Obama won with promises to be different. After GW Bush destroyed the country and was the straw on the camel’s back that caused the global recession with all that financial deregulation in 2003.  Health care costs were rising and accessibility to it was getting more and more prohibitive for most. Blood was being shed in two modern day ‘Vietnam’ wars Georgie started, with no end in sight.  Obama pretty much promised to rectify all of those things. He gave Americans something to believe in again.

Well, Obama has failed miserably. His health care bill is soooo watered down to be taken too seriously.  He became the war president. And he seems to be in over his head when it comes to the economic crisis.  He had a wonderful opportunity to get all those things he wanted to do accomplished he will never see again: Democrat majority in both the house and senate. No, he had to pander to the GOP as well as the Rush Limbaugh and Fox News crowd; not to mention, heavy corporate influence that seems to plague U.S. congress.  Given mid-term elections coming up this November,  I would expect a gain for GOP , thus Obama really won’t be able to get anything done. He becomes a lame duck.

Enter Sawah asking Americans  “How’s that hopey-changey thing working for you?” With that, she has disillusioned American voters in lockstep with her.

Canadian voters of today aren’t much different; they too are not inspired by the politics in their own country. They too need something to believe in.

For the time being, the Canadian religious right is only a fraction of their American counterparts. However, as Ottawa communications consultant Dennis Gruending points out,

“Groups that are well organized can punch above their weight — particularly in an era of fractured parliaments and minority governments.” A former New Democratic Party MP, Gruending laments that “there is little in progressive Ottawa to rival the networks that have been created by the religious and political right.”

Jack, Iggy (Donolo) take notes here!   Jack, I realize you may think you can get better deals with Steve, that may prefer to align yourself  with a ‘winner’ to live vicariously through, but  does the rest of your party want to go that Evangelical Christian route of no return?  Wouldn’t you rather keep some semblence of what your party stands for and perhaps align with the Liberals? And Donolo, maybe it is best cut Iggy off now; look at it this way, your numbers can’t really suffer that much more for cutting loose yet another leader, especially if you nominate one  everybody can get behind; to give voters an alternative to believe in.

As for Canada, well, it has always been a more liberal, tolerant and compassionate country, that is, until Brother Steve and his cronies came on the scene and took ownership of most of the Corporate media outlets. Steve wants his majority so bad he can taste it.  In 2006, his membership to the Evangelical far right sub-culture would never have gotten elected.  Given the recent survey out of the Manning Center,  and the way the right slanted media is more and more successful at getting those election weary Timmy’s Centrists searching for anything to believe in these days,  it would seem,  like Marci McDonald,  I have to say that wishful thinking on our parts just isn’t going to cut it anymore.

Remember,  cults, as I’ve mentioned above, recruit those who are ‘lost’; folks who seem to no longer believe in anything.  Consider the Religious political right to be a large cult,  gaining votes from a large group who were given something to believe in again. Remember how most politicians don’t keep their campaign promises? Well, one thing to say about Steve, think back to his days of Reform and the National Citizens Coalition. Remember everything he’d like to accomplish. Betchur bottom dollar he will do everything he said way back when and then some.  It’s not for nothing he is no longer taking painstaking care to keep his evangelical intentions secret. All one has to remember Senator Nancy Ruth losing it, all those  groups that don’t support his evangelical ideologies getting their funding cut, the abortion debate back on the front burner, not to mention, that wingnut Chuckles McVety nearly single-handedly got Premier McGinty to scrap a sex education program. Antonia Z. goes more into detail here.

Antonia points out another scary thing about our Evangelical Religious right movement that gets even more terrifying.

According to The Armageddon Factor, evangelicals believe Canada has to clean up its act on abortion, feminism, and homosexuality because it has a special role to play in the “end times.”

The reason they believe this is even more ridiculous.

Steve and ol’ Vic Toews tough on crime bills are also part of that religious agenda. Like the religious right convincing paranoid Americans that only they can keep them safe from Communist Muslim boogiemen, Steve and Vic will convince Canadians that only they can keep them safe if they can ‘purify’ Canada.

As McDonald says, we have to be vigilante now.  If we don’t want an Evangelical Christian Fascist Canada, the time to act is now before it’s too late.

I sincerely hope that Americans too will wake up, but I’m not finding that likely unless, perhaps,  Obama develops some balls.

If this all weren’t so damned scary and a potential reality; I would be entertained by all of this as I’m sure many would. Watching Steve go in Canada and See Sawah Run state side; put them in the same picture and name them the Tammy-Faye and Jim Baker of Politics.

Sidenote: It seems that Marci McDonald is striking a chord. Ol’ Ezzy IrreLevant is having yet another hissy fit. Thanks Dawg for making my day. I like to think of this: whenever Ezzy or his friends turn purple due to their blood pressures hitting the bell, an angel gets her wings.

Question: If those who haven’t found Christ or those not born again are considered to be ‘lost’; aren’t Jewish people considered to be lost given that they don’t believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah?

Oh, it’s just too priceless! The blogging romper roomies are a glow with the prospect of their hero Steve fighting evul soshalism in Europe (well, European Union. I  would love to see him try that shit in Norway or Sweden or any of those other Scandinavian countries who do outrank us consistently; those welfare states he hates so much).

Steve is giving economic advice to German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. If you ask me, since he is categorically refusing to participate in that global rainy day tax for banks, he should butt the hell out of their affairs. Another thing: I don’t see Steve trying to tell Obama to reinstate the banking regulations, nor do we see him chastising Congress for their debt.

“I don’t think we should forget the primary crisis here, the fundamental crisis, is not in the financial sector. It is in the finances of certain governments,” he said. “It’s important for all countries to understand that high levels of deficit and debt cannot continue indefinitely and in some countries they are very high and that issue does have to be tackled and it has to be tackled not just in Europe but across the globe.”

Yes, Greece has indeed become a convenient scapegoat for the economic crisis. As Michael Moore predicted on the Rachel Maddow Show awhile back, the other shoe is about to drop. But it will be due to the fact that Obama and Congress have not reinstated any regulation that was scrapped.  Another thing, Greece will probably end up leaving the EU and the euro anyway.  Paul Krugman even says Greece is neither big enough or interconnected enough to cause a global economic meltdown.

Yes, Angie is calling for reforms to the financial sector. Steve calls for reforms. Again, not once do we hear them chide the United States who started this mess in the first place with all their deregulation. In fact, we all know that if Steve had his majority, he would have deregulated Canada’s financial industry.  Give him a majority tomorrow, and it begs the question: would he deregulate? My guess would be yes, because he’s a greedy with greedy friends to pander to. The reason we’re in good shape is that Paul Martin held fast to regulation.

Here’s a good explanation of  how the latest economic crisis began in layman’s terms.

What caused this global fucking recession?
Well, unless you are a right wingnut conspiracy theorist, the blame seems to fall squarely on the banks, corporations, and deregulation.

Predatory lending.

Selling us cheap shit with over the top aggressive marketing campaigns. Cheap shit that falls apart two weeks after the warranty.  Comsumer debt is going to go up.  Go fucking shopping? Bush’s fucking answer to a looming recession.

The commenters at the Grope & Fail, needless to say are all ga ga giddy over this, they seem to be happy that the Europeans will lose their “entitlements”. This, of course, leads me to one conclusion, besides the fact that they like it when misfortune happens to others; they’ve been jealous of European countries’ social programs, no doubt.  Who wouldn’t be?   I know I would much rather be a senior citizen in the Netherlands than here, that’s for sure.  At least their tax dollars yields them better services than ours’ and  of course, the U.S. Instead of trying to keep our programs, they wish misery on others. Real classy.  Yep, to those trolls, it’s business as usual, denouncing evul soshalism. To them, everything is evul soshalism.

Again, I must ask: Greed is supposed to lead to where and what?

This is a priceless pic. Found it at BCer in Toronto, only,  my office computer doesn’t allow for commenting on blogger blogs.  This pic is from Reuters.

U.S. President Barack Obama (R) greets Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper at the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington April 12, 2010. Obama opened a 47-nation summit dedicated to keeping nuclear arms from terrorists and planned to seek momentum in his push for a new round of sanctions on Iran.

 Well, here are  my ideas:

“Down Boy!”

“Sit!”

“If you don’t stop calling me,  showing up at my doorstep unannounced and interrupting my smoke breaks, begging me to be your buddy, I will have to get a restraining order!”

I guess the possibilities are endless, but this is definitely a keeper.

Well, you, the U.S. and the other NATO allies. What will it take for you to take a hint? And don’t act all hurt when he said he may well join the Taliban if the west didn’t stop telling him to be politician they would like to see.

Karzai has stirred concern around the world with a string of remarks that include blaming “foreigners” for fraud in Afghanistan’s presidential election and accusing the West of wanting a weak “puppet government” in Kabul. Mainstream media also reported that he told some Afghan parliamentarians that continued foreign

meddling might prompt him to join the Taliban -

I just learned that the United States Congress is backing President Obama in backing out of NAFTA in about six months time. This proposal came from Missisippi Representative, Gene Taylor-D. It is getting the support of more and more, from the left Dems to Blue Dogs to GOP to Libertarians like Ron Paul from 16 states. It is being said that NAFTA has been hurting the American economy and American jobs since 1994.

“At a time when 10 to 12 percent of the American people are unemployed, I think Congress has an obligation to put people back to work,” Taylor said.

“You’ll see the American people rally behind this, in my humble opinion,” said Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican who is one of about 28 co-sponsors of the bill.

It would seem that even the Tea-bagger hit parade is behind this. The biggest and most obvious reason for Obama and Congress timing of this would more than likely be because it’s election time this year for many senators, unemployment is at an all time high in the U.S. and American voters would definitely favor more an American-first kind of deal.

Republicans and Democrats coming together? American voters more than likely to go along with a pull-out of NAFTA?? A fait-accompli then? Not quite. There is a large hurtle to cross. Remember them pesky lobbyists and their powers state side.

Business groups like the National Association of Manufacturers and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce strongly support NAFTA, which they say has spurred U.S. economic growth by tearing down trade barriers between the three countries.

That is, unfortunately, the sad reality. The U.S. is ruled by lobbying from Business groups. With all those elections coming up this year, many would no doubt rely upon such groups to get re elected. Perhaps this idea will get shelved at least until afterwards. I would hope so.

These free trade deals with the U.S. haven’t really been great for Canada neither: Hello Softwood Lumber and Ethyl Corp. v Gov’t of Canada. Currently, Melvin J Howard, Centurion and Howard Family Trust v Gov’t of Canada (If anyone can tell where that suit is at these days, please drop a comment or email; last I heard was over the summer, it was before NAFTA arbitrators).

Then there is St-Stevie, yes, he does have his hands full at the moment, running away from the truth and contorting himself like a pretzel to sell his B.S. to a lot of gullible Canadians only too eager to swallow his kool-aid, making threats to the opposition and such. However, make no mistake; how much time will it take him to race (on once again, private jet plane) to the White House to catch Obama during one of his smoke breaks to get on his knees and beg him to keep NAFTA in place while offering more of  Canada on a silver platter? Or scrap NAFTA entirely for a whole new agreement, that would make Canada a step short of being the 51st state of the union.

Any bets on how long it will take St-Stevie to stop everything he’s doing to rush off to suck up to President Obama?

This time, it’s personal.  The  bubble-headed blonde Soviet born dentist who considers herself the expert of all things American constitution has no plaintiffs this time. She is suing President Obama all by her lonesome.

Read the sorry petition below.  Some parts of it are worth a few laughs actually.  #3 is funny; that’s where she claims she, herself and herself  actually suffered harm at the hands of President Obama.

Orly, Orly, Orly, leave it alone already.  Obama is already on his way out the door in a few years. The GOP and Neo-cons think Obama is a  Muslim Marxist Megalomaniac who is trying to take over the entire world and be  it’s ruler, while the Progressives now believe he is no different from Georgie and Dickie. He made the same error in judgement that  Lyndon B Johnson did, which cost him the presidency.

In just a few years, he will be gone and a white neo-con will take over because the paranoid neo-cons will vote and take the so-called centrist with them and the progressives will probably be so cynical now they won’t even vote, which is exactly what I think happened in Massachussets lately. Just not sure if you can handle competing for the spotlight with  See Sawah run.

Below is a video of that overpriced Tea-Party convention where See Sawah Run was paid over 100 000$ to read off her palm. Notice how she looks and sounds like she’s in serious need of lithium or Haldol.

I also like the bloke with fake Brit accent, colonial costume wearing a kettle around the neck.

Naturally, See Sawah run’s Facebook buddy, Orly makes an appearance.

Happy Saturday Nite!

Oh, almost Forgot: Warning.  I know most don’t bother but in case there is one who might (morbid curiosity, ya know): do not go to Orly’s site. Full of malware apparently is the word on Twitter right now.

From  A Creative Revolution. Go!

Just a thought, We weren’t hit as hard as the U.S. by Global recession that Stevie’s big buddy, Georgie caused largely in part anyway.  Why is Stevie hell bent in turning us into Bush era U.S.?

When will you buy a clue? President Obama already pretty much told you to fuck off in his own way, while you were trying to look for another American buddy. He doesn’t want to be your buddy.

Oh Stevie,  if torturegate wasn’t important to Canadians, why run away? Why not show the uncensored documents to Canadians? If as you say it’s no  big deal…then show Canadians how it’s no big deal.

Looks like your merry band of thieves are introducing underwear scans with choice between visual or physical legalized gov’t pornography disguised as security.  What a high opinion held for the good citizens!

Now off to further  buffer the senate with your porky, illiterate friends.  I never want to hear that whining again about the Liberal stacked senate. Think again if you think Stevie will introduce the notion of an elected senate. Something tells me that if let loose with the dastardly majority,  there will probably be no more elections again. Whatever the case, after killing the Court Challenges Program and stacking the senate, I never wanna hear that whining about left winged idealogues dominating the courts.
