Don’t you just love the whining morons who complain that a church is doing something even though the whiners won’t do it themselves? Take the case of churches in LaFayette, Georgia, providing meals to local football teams before games. Here are people (yes, churches are in fact filled with people) doing a great thing (feeding young athletes). I find it bizarre that … [Read more...]
BC’s new Animal Health Act (Bill 37) is quietly withdrawn due to outcry over prison terms for making fish farm diseases public
There is an old saying that probably began with Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech movement in the United States around 1750… “The public has a right to know.” That saying is based on the idea that it is best that we, the people, know what is going on around us, both good and bad. The never-ending battle for Freedom of Speech is based on the conflict between … [Read more...]
Ezra Levant’s 5-Point Plan to eradicate the Canadian Broadcasting Standards Council and Section 5 of the Canadian Television Broadcasting Regulations
On the June 18, 2012 edition of The Source, host Ezra Levant put forward his 5-point plan to rid Canada of the Canadian Censors Council, or as they like to call themselves, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council (CBSC). As I wrote last week, membership in the CBSC is 100% voluntary. If you do NOT want a television broadcast license, you have no need to “volunteer” to join … [Read more...]
Canadian Patriotism: Fly the Canadian Flag, get a fine, have a lien placed against your property
Did you know that Canadians have no right to fly the Canadian flag? As shocking as that sounds, as unpatriotic as that sounds, this is the reality here in the land of True North Strong and Free. Fly the Canadian Flag and you can be fined by your condo association and/or your municipality or both, depending upon where you live. How incredibly… patriotic. Imagine, if … [Read more...]
Freedom of Speech, Censorship, Ezra Levant, terrorist-supporting Chiquita Banana Company and the Cdn Broadcast Standards Council
Freedom of speech is such a tenuous Right. Every individual wants to say whatever he or she wants, but invariably demands that everyone else only say what meets with their approval. It's hypocritical but it is the human way. Or maybe it's just the Canadian way, I don't know. Ezra Levant, on his Sun News Network show The Source, invariably pushes the bounds of Freedom of … [Read more...]
NBC shows glimmer of common sense; fires reporters who manufactured Zimmerman 911 transcripts
I was actually shocked to come across a story about how the NBC network has fired three [alleged] reporters for doctoring and/or fabricating the transcript of George Zimmerman’s 911 call after the shooting of Treyvon Martin. Lillia Luciano, pictured here, is the third person fired for attempting to manufacture a story, instead of doing their job: reporting the news. The … [Read more...]
TSA Porn Scanners are for their viewing pleasure only. They don’t actually detect metal…
The Transportation Security Administration, or TSA as it's more commonly known, sold Americans on the idea the TSA would keep them safe. Like all "big government" agencies, the way this is accomplished is two-fold. First, strip you of your rights, and second, spend billions on technology that sounds great but doesn't actually do anything useful. I have, like many others, … [Read more...]
Freedom to Read What You Like? Not In Canada…
If you’re a Canadian, do you believe you have the right to read whatever you like? If you do, you’re not alone, even though you are sadly and grossly mistaken. Canada, believe it or not, has a long and sordid history of banning books and magazines that some unelected and unaccountable bureaucrat has decided you should not read. You see, the Freedom to read what I like is … [Read more...]
