With so much ammunition provided by the MSM and the despicable denizens of leftwing toontown .... it may look really easy to be a critical blogger.

Not So!

A Little Take Away From another Blog...

Monster Hunter Nation .....


Because you apathetic little parasites would just gobble up the 1 percent’s stuff with your free houses, and your free education, and your free internet access, and your free health care, and your free bullshit… Briefly, but then the money would be gone, and you’d still be an apathetic little parasite. But now since you’ve installed a government amoral and powerful enough to truly not give a shit, this time when you take to the streets they will just kill your ass.
You bitch about America at the protests, where our police handle you with kid gloves. You pose like little anarchist douchebags in your Guy Fawkes masks (my GOD! These people are ignorant of history!) throw bricks at the cops and destroy other people’s property, and then scream and cry about your civil rights being violated, all while demanding to be more like other countries that would just machinegun you in the streets and be done with it.
 
Cool name eh?

Catchy Blog Name

Stuff Black People Don't Like....    Stuff Black People Dont Like

In this post by SBPDL authored by the pseudonomic (pseudonymous?) Paul Kersey .... there is a lot of information about just who does what with firearms in America. No surprise that most crimes committed with firearms are committed by young black men on other young black men.  No surprise either that this occurs mostly in the urban shitholes where white people do not live ... because they don't have to.

White urban people mostly own guns to protect themselves from the people who are most likely to use them for committing crimes. (must make them racist eh?)

The upshot of all this seems to be that black people don't like white people to have guns and mostly support gun controls that will take away those legally owned firearms from the people least likely to use them for crimes.  (but that's NOT racist I suppose...)

The subject of his blog post is this article  from the WaPo............

Guns, Blacks, and Steel: The Washington Post Publishes the Truth About Black Gun Crime in America

Dan Keating, writing at The Washington Post, has published a powerful piece on gun deaths in America -- particularly by race (check here for a chart breaking down gun homicides by race in all 50 states). And the data shows white people primarily use guns for self-defense and fatal self-inflicted wounds (suicide), while black people use guns for criminal acts that lead to black-on-black gun violence/murder. [Gun deaths shaped by race in America, Washington Post, 3-22-13]:

After digging through all this I still don't feel better informed about what "Black People" don't like... but at least the story was entrtaining and informative in other ways.

BTW ... "Paul Kersey" is the name of the vigilanty character played to ridiculous extremes by Chuck Bronson.

Gormogons You Say?

Anybody who can write something like this:

Well, a lot of our mailbags have been filling up with gun talk, but not because any of us wanted to go there, but because once again the Left dragged us there so they can replay another failed lecture on why we’re too stupid to overlook how idiotic they are.

Is OK by ME..........

"Ran Out of Constructive Things for Them to Do"

A comment on a blog:

It is indeed ironic that they were so wrong about not having enough food to feed an ever growing number of humans, but rather that we ran out of constructive things for all of them to do. So we get all these fat, pampered lemmings coming up with more and more insane ways to make themselves feel needed.

Some fellow calling himself TrueNorthist had that to say about the sad state of governance.
Particularly obvious in the California ... the state claim to fame seems to have become being at the forefront of decline and decay and hairbrained ideas.

It actually explains a lot about the current state of our western society. There just is not enough constructive things to do .... well at least for people who have no usefull skills. And this, is the fundamental fault with the academic world. Academics in and of themselves serve no useful purpose.

The successess of the last 100 years had nothing to do with academics or political philosophy but everything to do with the unrestrained opportunities to develop and exploit the worlds resources.
The development and exploitation of resources requires great investment in terms of human activity and provides opportunity for large numbers of people to be productive and have constructive things to do.

Ironically ... this societal success also provided a safe and secure environment for academics, politicians, bureaucrats and activists of all sorts.

Canadian Media ... Cheshire Cat

With a hat tip to Small Dead Animals ... the Saskatchewan based blog that ... In My Opinion ... has done more to inform and educate the world on the FACTS about the Canadian Wheat Board than the entire mainstream media or the collective propaganda that has been promoted by government agencies .... or the entire realm of academia.

Since taking the WCB on as an issue the SDA crew of contributors and commenting readers has well dissected every point of view and most of the blather ... both pro and con ... that has been tossed about in the public realm.

Since the federal government has put an end to its agencies enforced rule and power to prosecute objectors to the agency mandates, the question of whether membership and subscription to the WCB services is beneficial or not will be decided by farmers instead of government "experts" and bureaucrats. Strike ONE large blow for freedom.

Striking the second blow for freedom against this abuse of government, the Prime Minister has put forward and taken the initiative to pardon victims of the WCBs over reaching bureaucrats who committed the "crime" of selling or trying to sell their own property outside of the wheat board.

Remember that the WCB was the creation of liberals in government and in the grain business and supported by some farmers. The WCB was defended and supported in public by liberal media and academics who favour government intervention over individual initiative.

Remember also that these same "progressives" favour the pardon and enforced compensation of people like Maher Arrar and  argue for the repatriation of  Omar Khadr .... the same people whose hearts bleed for rioter, vandals and thieves of all stripes instead of demanding that justice be served.

Never forget.

“The Liberals have always supported jailing farmers who resisted the old and unjust Wheat Board monopoly, so it’s no surprise they don’t approve of doing the decent and just thing now that the Wheat Board monopoly has been abolished,”

The nearly extinct LPC and their supporters are like the Cheshire Cat  and the liberal media the grin.

I for one cannot Wait until the cat is extinguished.

Nice work on a 650 Honda Elsinore

The builder is enthusiast "Backtracker" who posts from Pencoed, South Wales in the UK.
The project is titled "Honda NX 650 Dominator Streettracker" and there are more pictures showing the development from stock bike to this very nice custom.

Looks to be very real world usable and I'd bet it's a blast to ride on unpaved back roads and packed dirt trails.

Keeping your Eye on the Ball

When people lose sight of problems that exist right under their own noses they are usually in for an unpleasant surprise. And so it is with many Canadians who seem oblivious to the scope of the fiscal mismanagement that many provinces have been guilty of.
While much of the MSM has been offering up bread and circuses over manufactured outrage and faux political scandal ... or at best maintaining the memes about European economic suicide. We have here at home our own Greece. Although there is little said in our own media about the enormity of state financial collapse in the USA ... California ... Michigan ... Illinois etc.... we have our own problems. Not that you would ever notice if you spend your time watching CBC/CTV etal or reading the G&M or Star or Sun........

BC is broke and in debt beyond their ability to manage
AB is now entering the ranks of spendthrift big government social engineering states choosing a life long devotee of big government and bureaucratic empowerment to be PM. Watch this economic powerhouse squander it's opportunity to lead Canada out of the moral and economic squalor of socialist idealism.
Thank God for SK having the sense to finally get rid of the NDP commies. Combined with the good fortune to have finally connected with the resource development bonanza "the Gap"looks to be finally able to show some good sense and end the rising stink of welfare dependence and economic rot.
 MB remains firmly in the grip of entitlement dependence and an obliviousness to economic reality that is staggering in it's thickness. The tax sucking parasites of the NDP in Manitoba are busy digging the debt hole and have no plans to do anything different. Just wait till the transfer fund gravy train stops this year.
ON and the McGuinty Liberals have outdone the biggest wastrels on the planet... as noted by :
smalldeadanimals.com -commentor Rudy


California:
Deficit: $16billion
Net debt: $612billion
Population 38million
GDP $1.9 Trillion
Deficit/capita: ~$420
Ontario:
Deficit: $15 billion
Net debt: $250billion
Population: 13million
GDP: $612 Million
Deficit/capita: ~$1150

"Canada's own California is many times more bankrupt than the real thing, yet it catches much less spotlight. When Ontario blows up it WILL take Canada down with it."

As for everything east of Ontario's  evolving economic wasteland .... the decades long decline and inbred culture of dependency pretty much guarantees more of the same.

PQ is long lost and has not contributed to the net well being of this country since the 1960s.
NB is nothing but a welfare dependant ... if it were not for government jobs and transfers from the ROC there would be simply nothing but a few fishing villages left.
NS is another province on the receiving end of the financial dole ... although possibly capable of reasserting their agricultural economy fundamentals they are still on the path of growing government and debt to maintain services at unrealistic levels.
PEI ... should just give up pretending to be a self sustaining entity ... the so called province produces nothing that the rest of the world need and would likely be reduced to subsisting on potatoes and haddock if the federal teat were withdrawn.

NL/LB   have chosen to not be self sufficient and the fact is that they do not need to be dependant. It is a matter of choice for these regions ....

But let's not lose sight of the elephant in the Canadian parlor ... Ontario ....

Bishop Hill Blog

Just the  other  day I was thinking about this errudite British Blogger ..... The Bishop Hill Blog !

As it happens .... SDA was tipped to a recent winner of a post at BHB..............

Pseudo Sciences, conspiracy theories and frauds abound in this world because they satisfy the emotional needs of people. I will leave it to you to decide what these needs might be the very reason they must be satisfied in such a manner.

FWIW ... One of my pet peaves is Scientology  which manages to be both pseudo-science and pseudo-religion at once!  Or perhaps Creationism ... which is much the same. Oh .... surely Socialism qualifies on many levels.

Excerpt ....


My topic today is scientific heresy. When are scientific heretics right and when are they mad? How do you tell the difference between science and pseudoscience?
Let us run through some issues, starting with the easy ones.
Astronomy is a science; astrology is a pseudoscience.
Evolution is science; creationism is pseudoscience.
Molecular biology is science; homeopathy is pseudoscience.
Vaccination is science; the MMR scare is pseudoscience.
Oxygen is science; phlogiston was pseudoscience.
Chemistry is science; alchemy was pseudoscience.
Are you with me so far?

Know Your Enemy

Funny how in a former Soviet bloc nation a survivor of that tyrany retains a clear sense of what it actually means to be subjugated by totalitarian ideologues and statists.

Meanwhile in the rest of the world (or most of it) pampered and priviledged clowns who cling to the socialist ideology have no sense at all of wht it actually  means to sacrifice ones personal freedom to the state or any other sort of would be tyrant.

Keep in mind that Czech presidential candidate Milos Zeman is identified as a "Leftist".....

There are only Muslims and Communists .... offers a clear insight into what it means to Know your Enemy.

One for Lost Johnny

From something described as "a secret" motorcycle museum ..... our friend Paul Crowe of The Kneeslider blog brought this interesting piece of machinery to our attention.

Now I've been in the business of finding uses and opportunities for gasifier technology and I've seen a few odd contraptions devised to use captured hydrocarbon gas from burning junk ... but this motorcycle is a real piece of work .... or junk.... however you choose to view it.


I get a certain amount of post apocalyptic ... road warrior ... vibe off of this thing.

I'd like to know what the bike was that they spliced the wood stove onto.............

The Lost Johnny reference? Well John's been looking for things to do .... and a motorcycle and a gasifyer.... so ... it all just sorta came together .......

The CBC Effect ...

One of my favourite blogs !NoPasaran! ... has discovered that according to something called "The British Council" Canadians are as smugly self righteous in their views of the USA as are those paragons of self importance .... the Europeans....

From Joe Noory at NP......

"Europeans, permanently putting America on trial, can’t seem to get a bone out of their throats: for all their resentment, they have no-one out there to do for them what the United States does.

Asked to rate US impact on the issue most important to them, views are even more negative. On average, 61 percent have a negative view, with just 29 percent positive. Indeed, majorities in
all countries except one have majorities holding a negative view. The one exception is Poland, which is divided – 44 percent negative, 41 percent positive.

Canadians are 62 percent negative.

The arrogance is in the questions. The only way the “impact us” conclusions make any sense to discuss is if you naturally assume that the United States exist to serve your interests at its’ own expense. It actually doesn’t....."

If there is any doubt in your mind that this exactly the direction that your self appointed moral and intellectual betters would like you to go .... well... there shouldn't be. The Canadian liberal establishment have a long history of holding up the Euros as shining examples of good sense and good governance ... a special class of humanity that has it all figured out .... such elan ... such panache.... such a wonder of social justice is the EU that we should be following their lead in every way.
And it is easy .... peasy ....nice and greasy .... since the mindset has already been established.

Even if it means going right down the toilet .... just like Europe has done.


Just a closing thought .... What do you suppose the poll results would be if a few qualifying questions were used to determine whether those anti American sentiments were actually the result of some understanding .... or rather the result of the continual drip of the liberal media?
