I’m here in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, for Jane Gaffin’s Celebration of Life event (more on that later) and much to my shock and surprise Allen Carlos tells me that one of the cops who killed Robert Dziekanski was sentenced to prison time for perjury. I wracked my brain to remember who had gone on trial so far in this endless debacle. The first cop was acquitted although I … [Read more...]
Ethically-Challenged: North Carolina Ethics Commission
Ethics, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, has the following meaning: rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad. Its secondary definition is this: ethics : an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior : a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong. I include these definitions of ethics … [Read more...]
BATF Backpedals from M855 Ammunition Ban (.233 Calibre)
M855 ammunition is .223 calibre “green tip” ammunition most often used with AR-15 rifles. It is also used in some AR-15-style handguns: expensive and large handguns. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms issued a proposal to ban this specific type of ammunition on February 13, 2015, claiming AR-15-type handguns are a “significant threat” to law enforcement … [Read more...]
A Small Measure of Justice for Sarah Jones
Sarah Elizabeth Jones died on the set of "Midnight Rider", a film directed by Randall Miller, just over a year ago. The director wanted to "steal" a shot on a railway trestle without obtaining any permits or permission from the railway. When a train came through it hit a bed the crew had placed on the tracks for the shot, which in turn hit Sarah Jones and knocked her into the … [Read more...]
Our Retarded Canadian Justice System
One day Ashley Thomas Brinston is too dangerous to release, 30 days later the Crown Prosecutor can't put him back on the streets fast enough. What's going on? Our justice system is often very good, but there are days where it is a complete farce. After making death threats to a woman, Ashley Thomas Brinston found himself in jail after police searched his home and found … [Read more...]
Got a password-protected Smartphone? At the Border you still kiss your Right to Privacy Away
We Canadians like to believe we have rights. We like to believe those rights are protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are fools. Our government moves to strip us of our rights every day. The latest abuse of power stripping us of our Right to Privacy comes to us courtesy of the Canadian Border Services Agency, who can now demand the password for … [Read more...]
TheRebel.Media: Putting Our Money Where Our Conservative Mouths Are
With the fall of Sun News Network Canadian conservatives lost the one friend they had on television. The only Canadian voice of liberty was lost… silenced because we Canadian conservatives failed when it counted most. There is nothing we can do about that failure. Nothing we do today will bring back the Sun News Network. It’s done. It is gone forever. There is, however, … [Read more...]
TheRebel: Will conservative-minded citizens financially support a true conservative news outlet?
That’s essentially the question I posed in the February 14 issue of The Canadian Rights and Freedoms Bulletin. Like so many others I was shocked to see nothing but a logo on the Sun News Network website and that all links to content on that site now returned nothing but a “404 not found” error message. Friday, February 13, was indeed a terrible day for Freedom of the … [Read more...]
Southern Baptist Convention No Longer Comprehends the Bible?
For years I’ve followed the career of Judge Roy Moore. He is the man who, as Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court, defied the orders of a federal judge and kept the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Judicial Building. Judge Moore was ultimately removed from his post as Chief Justice as a result of his decision and his refusal to back down from it. I admire a man with the … [Read more...]
Babak Andalib-Goortani: Police Sentencing Hypocrisy Continues Unabated
You’d think judges would feel some semblance of shame eventually, but that just isn’t the case. When it comes to sentencing police officers convicted of criminal offences our judges fall all over themselves pandering to a misguided sense of justice. Why is it wrong to send criminal cops to jail? When it comes to sentencing a mere citizen convicted of the same criminal … [Read more...]
Raif Badawi: Our Right to Free Speech must not be taken lightly
Here in North America we take our Right to Freedom of Speech for granted. We criticize our government with abandon and gusto, confident we are safe from retaliation; that there is no price to be paid for speaking our mind. We forget the rest of the world doesn’t take so kindly to criticism. In Saudi Arabia, for example, criticizing the government comes at a very high cost. … [Read more...]
Racist Admission Policy at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights
Of all the places one would expect all races and creeds to be treated equally it would be a museum dedicated to Human Rights, yet that supposedly august institution is, shockingly, the very place instituting racist admission policies. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, racism is defined as poor treatment of or violence against people because of their race the … [Read more...]
Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn Speaks Truth To Stupid
There are times when race baiters and reporters are so caught up in their own agenda they can't see what's going on around them. Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn recently put these morons in their place after being accused of not caring enough about the subject of the press scrum in front of him. He was on his cell phone, you see. Unfortunately for the stupid ones … [Read more...]
Julie Bosman – The Epitome of Hypocrite and “Stupid Little Bitch”
For those who don't know, Julie Bosman is a journalist who works for the New York Times. That's the title the New York Times gives her, anyway. I call her an irresponsible and hypocritical little bitch who felt it was her absolute right to violate the privacy of Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. Officer Darren Wilson hit the national stage when he shot and killed … [Read more...]
Censorship Essential to Combat Terrorism says British Prime Minister David Cameron
Governments of all kinds despise Freedom of Speech. Dictatorships despise it because, if allowed, their detractors relentlessly denigrate them and their lack of integrity. Democracies despise Freedom of Speech for precisely the same reason. Freedom of Speech allows mere citizens to comment upon the actions of their so-called leaders, both good and bad. The United Nations … [Read more...]
Why do American Doctors want to know if Patients own Firearms?
Why do American family physicians want to know if their patients own Firearms before treating them for [insert medical issue here]? The only doctor who will ask you about gun ownership before treating you is a doctor who hates guns. Any doctor who hunts or target shoots or believes in your Right to Self-Defense isn’t going to ask the question. He won’t care. It’s only … [Read more...]
Support Companies Unafraid To Call This Holiday By Its Name: Christmas
I admit it. I’m one of those “old-fashioned” people who call this holiday by it’s actual name: Christmas. I’m no fan of “Happy Holidays” since the holiday has a name: Christmas. We would never dream of calling Valentine’s Day by some other name. We wouldn’t dare call Remembrance Day by some pathetic misnomer, yet for some reason it’s okay to rename Christmas even as radio … [Read more...]
The Only Entitlement I Expect From My Government is FREEDOM
Our Right to Privacy vs Police Need to Investigate Crime – Who Wins?
Police want easy access to personal information, generally with the assurance that they will not misuse the data they collect. The trouble is they almost always misuse the data, or if that statement seems too unfair, they often use it in ways never intended and they said they would never do. Take the testimony of Scott Naylor of the Ontario Provincial Police before the … [Read more...]
Lest We Forget – Today is the day we Honour our Veterans
Respect. It's a small word meaning "esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability." That definition perfectly describes why we ought to set down our own petty lives for an hour a year and honour the brave men and women who came before us and lay down their lives to protect our precious Rights and Freedoms. Respect. We … [Read more...]
Remembrance Day is NOT a National Holiday
Remembrance Day is not a national holiday, despite being listed in the Holidays Act. The Holidays Act lists three holidays, Canada Day, Victoria Day and Remembrance Day. Canada Day and Victoria Day are "legal holidays" while Remembrance Day is "a holiday". This small distinction means it is not treated as a statutory holiday across the nation as the other two are. Provinces … [Read more...]
Denigrating Nathan Cirillo and Our Veterans on Remembrance Day
Canada watched in horror as the man standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lay dead on the ground, gunned down in cold blood by a radicalized Muslim nutcase. While a nation mourned the death of Corporal Nathan Cirillo others just couldn’t help themselves. They had to dance in the blood of the dead man, seizing the opportunity to denigrate Corporal Nathan Cirillo … [Read more...]
William Coleman III – “Situational Awareness of a Pickle”
It would be hilarious if it wasn’t so predictable. William Coleman III buys a gun but has no idea how to use it. He has no concept of situational awareness and believes, wrongly, that because he carries a gun he will be safe. He straps on his new handgun and carries it publicly, all perfectly legal in Oregon, and then finds himself at the mercy of an actual … [Read more...]
You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right?
Don’t deny it. You’ve always WANTED to shoot your alarm clock, right? Well, now you can with this unique offering on Groupon. I was tipped to the shootable alarm clock by a co-worker who knew I want to shoot mine every morning. I like that it is both the clock and gun are battery-powered. I don't know why but I've always preferred battery-powered alarm clocks to … [Read more...]
Anti-Fur Activists Rejoiced Until Public Safety Minister Reversed RCMP Muskrat Hat Decision
The news that the RCMP would abandon muskrat hats due to pressure from anti-fur activists was a little strange. “We have listened to the views of external interested parties and of our employees,” wrote RCMP Corps Sergeant-Major Darren Campbell. “RCMP officers stationed in areas that are not considered extreme will be issued the winter tuque only. Those that will require … [Read more...]
RCMP Hypocrisy: Reporting Sex Offender Names Except When Sex Offender is an RCMP Member
The RCMP has a long history of hypocrisy when it comes to dealing with sex offenders wearing Red Serge. If the sex offender is an RCMP member his name will NOT be released to the press and every possible measure is taken to protect his identity. Such is the case once more, this time in Manitoba, as a 26-year RCMP veteran faces charges of sexual assault and sexual … [Read more...]
Airdrie liquor store Clerk turns the tables on would-be armed robber
An article in the Calgary Sun titled "Airdrie liquor store Clerk fights back during attempted armed robbery" shows there are still MEN in the world willing to stand up for what is right. When a would-be armed robber entered the store where Sarb Gill refused to be a victim. Instead of handing over the cash like the thief demanded, Gill "unleashed a beating that sent the … [Read more...]
BC Attorney General Suzanne Anton too Cowardly to Answer for Topham Prosecution
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Bureaucrats are, generally speaking, a cowardly bunch, but the response given to Joseph Hickey, Executive Director of the Ontario Civil Liberties Association (OCLA) about Arthur Topham’s Freedom of Speech case is truly pathetic even by that low standard. Joseph Hickey's letter was written directly to the Honourable Suzanne Anton, … [Read more...]
Racism is Alive And Well in America, but not like the Race Hustlers claim
Racism is alive and well in America. It’s thriving, in fact. Just ask Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder or Barack Obama. They will all confirm racism is at an all-time high, despite Obama’s election pledge that his America would be colorblind; that racism would be nothing but a footnote in history. Obama’s America is anything but colorblind. Facts be damned… … [Read more...]
Largo High School Principal Angelique Simpson-Marcus: Racist and Proud of it
Largo High School Principal Angelique Simpson-Marcus is a racist. She doesn't fit the Obama mold, of course, since she's black and her racism targeted a white teacher. It's precisely the opposite of the "racial epidemic" that Obama spews about. Jon Everhart was a good teacher. A good white teacher. He taught honours English to both juniors and seniors. He consistently … [Read more...]
