Me: Just another paranoid anti-gov nut job

No problem with the State knowing your religion right?Maybe not so much...

I have long maintained it is absolutely no business of the Government's what anybody's religious affiliation is.

I took flack for that and my supposedly selfish refusal to complete the long form census. I never put in writing what in time could become (given the flitty nature of govern-mental whimsy) de trop.

Heh ......... regarde SVP.

LONDON — A British court ruled that a couple cannot keep foster children because they are morally opposed to homosexuality because of their faith.

In the ruling February 28 the justices ruled that homosexual rights “should take precedence” over the rights of religious beliefs. The Judges stated that Christian beliefs on sexual ethics may be ‘inimical’ to children, and they implicitly upheld an Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) submission that children risk being ‘infected’ by Christian moral beliefs.

And

“The Johns are a mild mannered, ordinary Christian couple, yet they may never be able to foster children again. They were willing to love a child regardless of sexual orientation, but not willing to tell a young child that practicing homosexuality was a positive thing,”

It has begun.

For the slooooooooooooow or comprehension deficient, this post is NOT about fostering nor is it about the child protection industry. I myself have absolutely no problem with homosexuals fostering and or adopting from within the system. I do have  HUGE problems with the system, but that is whole new Gordian knot to will be left for a different day. Just to be clear....

Please Sir, can I have some more...

Draconian budget cuts to government spending and workers?

 A huge part of me believes that this merely a slight of hand to keep the sheeple busy and pitted against each other ( while other aspects of government screw them unobserved) I gotta think that some folks getting  a clearer, more realistic picture of inequities between us and them is better then where we were just a few short years ago.

Time for the lifestyle of the entitled  parasites to come back more in line with those who struggle to foot the bill.



Want a Practical and simple example of the hyper inflated pay and benefits these guys get? The Vanity insanity City of Ottawa, even though I moved out of the city 15 years ago and then the city boundary grew and sucked me right back (just four kilometers of staying free and clear I was. :O/ ), that I have the privilege of paying my yearly rent to.

Who's the bigger dumb ass or danger to you?

The  nut bar man that wants to burn a book in protest over  the actions of a different sect  of nut bar radicals ?

Or those that want him stopped because they are afraid of what radicals, who already want us dead, will do in response?

Just asking.....

Chickens snatched from pots to pay for votes

In a shocking turn of events the food stamps cupboard in the US has been raided to the tune of some 12 Billion dollars in order to keep tax eaters full. Total investment in keeping up wards of 300,000 taxeaters on the payroll is only 26 Billion dollars.

The Obama administration pushed hard for the $26 billion bill. The White House argued that it is essential to protecting 300,000 teachers and other nonfederal government workers from election-year layoffs and will not add to the national deficit.

Now this I do believe, at least they are being honest about the pandering to the unions for the purpose of purchasing votes.

Somehow I do not anticipate any teachers being bothered by the idea that some of their very own students will not be able to pay attention in class, learn to their maximum capacity because they are preoccupied by hunger......

You may have a spine,

But other politicians don't:

This teacher complaining, they're getting four-to-five percent salary increases a year in a zero percent inflation world; they get free health benefits from the day they're hired--for their entire family--until the day they die. They believe they're entitled to this shelter from the recession when the people who are paying for that shelter are the people who have been laid off, who have lost their homes, had their hours cut back, and all we asked them to do was freeze their salary for one year and pay one-and-a-half percent of their salary for their health benefits. For the average teacher in New Jersey, you're talking about $750 a year for full-family health coverage. Now, I don't think that's a lot to ask, and I don't think we can continue anymore to be having the good people of New Jersey who have been laid off and all the rest--as much as I love teachers--you know, everyone's got to be part of the sacrifice.

First of all, they're not taking any cuts. I asked them to take cuts, and they said no. So, what cuts are they taking? These teachers are still getting their four or five percent increases. That interplay that you just saw was about me trying to convince people that they need to take a freeze, but, in the end, they didn't. The state teachers union said--they had a rally in Trenton against me. 35,000 people came from the teachers. You know what that rally was? The "me first" rally. "Pay me my raise first. Pay me my free health benefits first. Pay me my pension first. And everybody else in New Jersey, get to the back of the line." Well, you know what? I'm not going to sit by and allow that to go unnoticed, so we'll shine a bright light on it, and we'll see how the people react. But I think we are seeing how the people of New Jersey are reacting, and that's how you make it politically palatable in other states in the country. Just shine a bright light on greed and self-interest."

Umm is it possible he is a genuine mole or just another lying politician speaking "gonna get me some more votes" speak?

Mr. Christie is NOT wrong, but I always hesitate to appreciate a politico's motives for saying the right things, especially if he can't deliver.   Government workers are clueless but the real world, add to that more and more of the population that is getting very tired of their act? That is not a good recipe for peace between the two sides.

A honest man that speaks truth or just another Christians and Lions promoter?

An unholy alliance starts to crack

Oh goody a new set of "Christians and Lions" to keep the masses occupied.

When law and order Conservative ideals runs smack against their Libertarian compatriot's, fire works and just general nastiness ensues.

Some folks seem to think it is just peachy keen that Civil liberties be suspended, by Secret Provincial legislation,  in order to keep the peace and let the Popo do their job during the G8, G20 meetings last week. Anyone who got caught up in mêlée , were mistreated by our humble public servants had what was coming to them. After all what the heck was any one doing, working, living, in Toronto, the biggest city in Canada, during this special time? Who would be so dumb as to insist that they had a right to be anywhere, go anywhere,  near downtown and complain about being beat, hassled, searched, detained?

The most curious was the assault I saw on Jesse Rosenfeld, a contributor to the U.K.'s Guardian newspaper. Jesse and I were both told by police on Saturday night to leave a downtown Toronto location, where a crowd of a few hundred mostly middle class people had the temerity to gather, then sit in the street and offer a simple message: that despite the gathering of the most important leaders in the world, citizens don't suddenly lose their right to free speech or freedom of assembly.


One officer told me, leave now, or be arrested. I didn't see how I could do much reporting in a jail cell, so I was "escorted" away from the crowd by another officer.

Rosenfeld, however, firmly but unceasingly, requested the right to stay and continue to cover the story he was witnessing. As a result, two officers held him while a third punched him hard in the stomach. As Rosenfeld collapsed forward, that same third officer drove his elbow into Rosenfeld's back.

It seemed an unnecessary overreaction -- three officers to subdue an asthmatic journalist who looked all of 5'6" tall, maybe 145 pounds, and, I later learned, is missing one kidney.

They were after all trying to keep you and your little dog safe too, those nice sweet self sacrificing police officers, who put their little lives on the line for us daily, have such hard jobs. It's the sheep's job to make the herding easier, not question authority or insist on one's piddleing rights. Get with the program already....Egads.

Thank you Mark Steyn, the man with the sarcastic perfected prose. :

If you reflexively defend lazy and incompetent policing, you'll soon find yourself having to defend lazy, incompetent and murderous policing.

A  big tado about nothing really, so much angst about the police actions and the whole point of the exercise has been missed by all.

Rights are not rights if the government can suspend them with a magic pen in secret. We got nothing, we were shown we got nothing and most still don't see it, we have what our betters suffer to bestow and it all can and will be taken away at a moments whim of our dear devoted servants.

Lesson learned? Nope....Folks are toooooo busy rooting for either the Christians or Lions... not even close to seeing Nero playing the Violin.
