In our rush to mediocrity academic excellence is a crime

Published March 28, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Politically Correct Madness, Stupid Human Tricks


Everyone is a winner! No child left behind! You hurt my feelings! You didn’t include me! And so it goes… rewarding excellence is a crime against the mediocre and the lazy… a crime for which the excellent must be punished.  How dare they, after all, stand out from the crowd? Have they no shame? The questions are, of course, completely backward.  It's the … [Read more...]

Even the Rich and Famous must suffer the Fools of Airport Security

Published March 28, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Bureaucrat’s Rule #1, Common Sense, Property Rights, Stupid Human Tricks


In the realm of human stupidity it's hard to do worse than the intrepid fools who inhabit the ranks of airport security.  There common sense is verboten and the ability to think rationally... well, let's just say it's not welcome there either. The latest entry into the stupidest airport security blunder ever this week goes to the Swiss... a prize that actually surprised me.  … [Read more...]

Christopher Robinson: A Deadbeat Dad Too Stupid To Be On Facebook?

Published March 27, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Big Brother, Social Justice, Stupid Human Tricks


Christopher Robinson is a deadbeat dad.  He’s happy to jump in the sack but loath to accept the inevitable consequence of that act: a child. Christopher Robinson is the type of man I despise.  He is by all accounts I can find thoroughly selfish, irresponsible and completely self-absorbed. He is also stupid. For over three years he failed to make a single child support … [Read more...]

Facebook – The Best Friend Minions of the State Ever Had

Published March 26, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Big Brother, Gun Politics, Politically Correct Madness, Privacy Rights, Rights


Everyone loves Facebook, but nobody loves Facebook more than governments and police agencies. It’s made their job so much easier.  And, should actual criminals be too hard to catch, a few hours trolling Facebook photos is sure to net dozens of possibilities. Case in point: Certified Firearms Instructor Shawn Moore. New Jersey Police and the Department of Child and Family … [Read more...]

Will You Write a Lettter of Support for Bruce Montague, his firearm collection and family home?

Published March 25, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abusive Prosecutions, Canada's Firearms Act, Gun Politics, Gun Registration, Justice Denied


I received an interesting email the other day from Pastor Jim Butler of the Free Grace Baptist Church, located in Chilliwack, BC.  He drafted a letter to Ontario Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) and the Ontario Attorney General and wanted my input on that letter before sending it. You can download and read that letter … [Read more...]

A Steady State Economy by Frank Hilliard

Published March 24, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Common Sense, Immigration Issues


This is the fashionable Surry Hills/Redfern area of Sydney, Australia. It has well-established trees and, as you can see, an uprated street scape with protected bicycle lanes. This is actually VERY unusual; most cities spend little or no money on existing neighbourhoods because all their taxes and borrowing are used to build and service new subdivisions. When was the last … [Read more...]

French “Perennial Victims” Seek $50 Million Payday from Twitter

Published March 23, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Privacy Rights


Who “owns” your Twitter posts? The answer might just surprise you. It’s not you. So says a court in New York State. Judge Matthew Sciarrino Jr. ruled that Twitter user Malcom Harris has “no proprietary interests” in his own Twitter posts and ordered the social media giant to hand over all of Harris’ past tweets including those he had deleted. Not only is anything … [Read more...]

Guntersville Mayor Leigh Dollar is just another jackbooted thug, albeit with perfume…

Published March 21, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Constitutional Violations, Courts, Gun Politics, Property Rights, Self-Defense, Stupid Human Tricks


Is there no end to the raft of elected officials who cannot comprehend the oath of office they swear?  You know, those pesky little section where they affirm they will “support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic”? It’s a simple phrase and an even simpler concept, yet time and time again we hear of duly elected officials doing the exact … [Read more...]

Crime of the Century (aka children, birthday cupcakes and toy soldiers)

Published March 20, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Politically Correct Madness, Stupid Human Tricks, The Great Nanny State


Only a generation ago young boys toted their .22 rifles to school on their shoulders so they could plink away in the school’s shooting range.  Try that today and SWAT teams would descend like a Biblical plague of locusts. Gone are the days where a boy playing “Cowboys and Indians” is an everyday activity.  Today it’s the subject of a human rights complaint. Our military, … [Read more...]

Our Politically-Correct Hatred of Childhood

Published March 19, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Common Sense, Stupid Human Tricks, The Great Nanny State


Childhood. It's meant to be a relatively carefree and pleasant time of life, where you learn certain values and lessons as you grow into adulthood.  In North America, however, it's become a time to terrorize the most vulnerable of our society. Why? If we don't, they might actually grow up to know right from wrong and common sense from lunacy.  In order to prevent such … [Read more...]

Can the government really steal your bank account without notice?

Published March 18, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Property Rights, Rights


Can the government really steal your bank account without notice? Virtually overnight and with no warning of any kind, the emergency tax deal was imposed on the people of Cyprus without vote or debate. People ran to ATM machines today only to discover that the taxed amount of their cash had already been frozen. Monday in Cyprus is a national holiday, the first day of Greek … [Read more...]

Oscar Pistorius and Home Security by Frank Hilliard

Published March 18, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Negligent Discharges, Self-Defense


Whatever else you can say for Oscar Pistorius, his explanation of how he killed Reeva Steenkamp is bizarre and illogical. No responsible gun owner would shoot through a door at an unknown target. That, however, is not what Canadian homeowners needs to take away from this tragedy. Have a look at the living arrangements in the National Post diagram I've linked to. You can … [Read more...]

The Lesson of Doug Christie – A Tribute to One Man and his Commitment to Freedom of Speech

Published March 17, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Freedom of Speech, Guns, In Memoriam -- Remembering our Heros


On March 11, 2013, the day I learned of Doug Christie’s death, I was both shocked and saddened by the news even though I knew it was coming. More than that, however, I felt drained and empty knowing we had lost one of the greatest Freedom Fighters in a generation. Anger burned deep inside me as I the saw the enemies of Freedom and Liberty dance with delight, knowing one of … [Read more...]

Canada loses its foremost defender of Freedom of Speech

Published March 12, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: In Memoriam -- Remembering our Heros


Over the past 35 year one man has stood up to the Almighty State in the arena of Free Speech: Douglas Hewson Christie. On March 11, 2013 Doug Christie succumbed to cancer, leaving behind his wife and two children.  My most heartfelt condolences go out to them as they deal with the loss of father, husband and hero. To quote Doug's wife Keltie, I am sorry to have to tell … [Read more...]

A Tribute to the Beautiful Women of Fox News

Published March 11, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Good Stuff


“The Girls On Fox News” song starts off with a true-to-life description of what happened to its writer and performer, Austin Cunningham, a former Democrat who came to his senses. Well I used to be a Democrat, Liberal no doubt I didn’t think Conservatives knew what life’s about Then I started leaving the Fox News channel on. If that’s the face of the right, I’ll tell the … [Read more...]

Mischa Popoff, a true conservative, runs for BC Conservative Party

Published March 10, 2013 by Frank Hilliard Filed Under: Elections, Ethics in Politics, Politics


Finally we have a true conservative running for a truly conservative party in a province that deeply needs a return to conservative principles. Both of the major parties have shown their moral failures, their lax practices and their lack of vision; it is time for a return to the standards of practice, morality and fiscal prudence we all thought was a norm in Canadian … [Read more...]

Port Hardy RCMP Cruiser left unattended with a bucket full of Marijuana Plants

Published March 7, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, RCMP Accountability


The video below was sent to me by a resident of Port Hardy.  While the claim in the note attached with the video is this RCMP cruiser was left unattended outside the Port Hardy hospital, there isn't anything in the video to confirm that, other than the "PH" on the rear of the cruiser. Here is the note: Here Is A Clip Regarding RCMP And Marijuana = Left Car Unattended In … [Read more...]

And the Special Treatment for Spouse-Abusing RCMP members just keeps on coming…

Published March 6, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame


One of my ongoing pet peeves is the special treatment RCMP members receive at the hands of our so-called justice system. Let's say, just for clarity, a man works at a shooting club. He's in charge of the place and has access to firearms all day long. At night he goes home and beats his wife, leaving her with bruises on her neck. Twice. Nobody would bat an eye at … [Read more...]

Labrador RCMP member arrested for child luring

Published March 5, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Courts, Police, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards, RCMP Accountability, RCMP Hall of Shame, Warrantless Searches


Remember when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said in defense of the warrantless search provisions of Bill C-30, “You’re with us, or the child pornographers”? I find it rather ironic that, just days before Bill C-30 was officially scrapped, an RCMP member in Newfoundland was arrested and charged with child luring on the internet. A member of the RCMP has been arrested and … [Read more...]

Unions and Public Sector Service Don’t Mix

Published March 4, 2013 by Mischa Popoff Filed Under: Bureaucratic Incompetence, Justice Denied


If you need hard evidence that unions and public service don’t mix, consider that one of the people allegedly responsible for the sinking of the Queen of the North in 2006 is only now going to finally face justice. And you can thank the B.C. Ferry Marine Workers Union for the delay. Karl Lilgert was eventually fired for his role in this disaster, but only after his union … [Read more...]

Freedom of Speech? No Thanks, We’re Canadian…

Published March 3, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Censorship, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Guns, Podcasts, Rights


[powerpress] On Wednesday, February 27, 2013 the Supreme Court of Canada had the opportunity to stand up for Canadians’ Right to Freedom of Speech. To call their ruling in R. v. Whatcott an “Epic Fail” would be a gross understatement. When the Supreme Court starts out by explaining as it did in Whatcott, not that individual rights are the very foundation of our … [Read more...]

Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein desperately needs a history lesson

Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein desperately needs a history lesson This intellectual neanderthal believes anonymous commenters on the internet are a threat to Freedom and Liberty, forgetting that the Founding Fathers and framers of the Constitution of the United States of America wrote the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers using pseudonyms to protect … [Read more...]
