Read more...Where to Start? 2011 was a wild ride. Osama Bin Laden's death revealed Pakistan's treachery and at the same time made a mockery of the United States and its affirmative action President. Meanwhile Obama Bin Bama continues to surrender US interests in the Middle East. The Arab Spring has turned into an Islamist Nightmare and Iran is Saber Rattling, confident that Obama will do nothing to upset his Islamist soul mates. Europe may yet trigger the next Great Depression if Obama doesn't beat them to the punch.
Closer to home things were a bit brighter. A conservative majority and the near wipe out of the Liberal party were the year's highlights. 2012 holds promise as the year that Section 13 will finally be put to death. No one is afraid to discuss the folly of our immigration policy any more. The Long Gun Registry is history. Sun News hit the airwaves and is every bit as fun as we expected. The CBC is getting a good swift kick and with luck will see genuine budget cuts in the future.
2011 wasn't without its downside domestically of course. We learned our MSM happily covered up the antics of Whorehouse Jack Layton. Ontario saw a despised Premier re-elected to a minority government after Ontarians realized that we don't have a conservative party in this province. Public education has been an eye opener: Granny get your gun or Tranny will beat you to it. Occupy no longer does, despite a significant effort by a large and sympathetic segment of the MSM to elevate these layabouts and union hacks into a "movement" of national import.
Militant Islam remains a threat, internationally and domestically. We are fighting back, whether against the Mosqueteria or in support of Kenney's Niqab ban our voice is being heard and none of us has any intention of letting up or "toning it down".
It's been a great year for this blog, readership has increased steadily and continues to grow. Stories that appeared here first have been forced on the MSM by the strength of your readership alone. Your support has allowed me to stand on the shoulders of "Giants" & means that we will continue to have a forum that allows us to discuss those politically incorrect ideas the MSM and our politicians are too cowardly to address. Give yourself a well deserved pat on the back.
Happy New Year Everyone!
The most vexing video of 2011 may be this clip of Congressman Dan Lungren questioning Assistant Secretary of Defense Paul Stockton on December 7. Though Stockton's evasiveness is in line with the government's history of not calling Islamism the enemy — recently exhibited by scrubbing FBI training materials and labeling the Fort Hood attack as "workplace violence" — his ability to twist himself into knots to avoid stating the obvious deserves special recognition:

"It's time to make New Year's resolutions for 2012, and given the fact that America and the American ideal are in serious jeopardy both internally and externally, Americans have to resolve to do everything they legally can to make sure President Obama isn't elected to a second term in the 2012 Presidential election, to fully restore freedom of speech, freedom of expression and the rule of law in the United States, to bring the U.S. back from the financial and military abyss and to re-establish the country's standing and leadership role in the world."

It’s the end of 2011 and also the end of the old order in the Middle East. It would be an exaggeration to say that it’s the end of U.S. interests in the region but it sure looks like the beginning of the end for a lot of them. The problem isn’t just Obama policy and the advance of revolutionary Islamism but the decline of the most basic logic and common sense in evaluating the world.
Here’s an example of how the mass media, Western foreign policy establishment, and Obama Administration miss the most obvious possible points as the Muslim Brotherhood (and lots of other enemies) run rings around them.

"Islamic extremist terror will continue, especially targeting other Muslims and within the Islamic heartland. And, of course, many in the West will continue to deny and obfuscate, until it hits them directly."
Read more..."Ring out the new, ring in the old. No, hang on, that should be the other way around, shouldn't it? Not as far as 2011 was concerned. The year began with a tea-powered Republican caucus taking control of the House of Representatives and pledging to rein in spendaholic government. It ended with President Obama making a pro forma request for a mere $1.2 trillion increase in the debt ceiling. This will raise government debt to $16.4 trillion – a new world record! If only until he demands the next debt-ceiling increase in three months' time.
At the end of 2011, America, like much of the rest of the Western world, has dug deeper into a cocoon of denial. Tens of millions of Americans remain unaware that this nation is broke – broker than any nation has ever been. A few days before Christmas, we sailed across the psychological Rubicon and joined the club of nations whose government debt now exceeds their total GDP. It barely raised a murmur – and those who took the trouble to address the issue noted complacently that our 100 percent debt-to-GDP ratio is a mere two-thirds of Greece's. That's true, but at a certain point per capita comparisons are less relevant than the sheer hard dollar sums: Greece owes a few rinky-dink billions; America owes more money than anyone has ever owed anybody ever."

2011 Comedy DVD Reviews
"At a time when advertising is full of images of clueless, inept, doofus dads and marketing for men is fixated on concepts like the “man cave,” it’s no surprise that the men in these latter day buddy comedies are so harassed and cowed, given only occasional release by alcohol and drugs, where they can unleash their true potential for self-mutilation, sexual perversity and pointless mayhem."
2011 TV Series DVD Round-Up
"Like every season of Top Gear lately, season sixteen hit the airwaves with the usual controversy; this time around it was the supposed cultural insensitivity of Clarkson and Hammond donning burkas for a cross-country rally to the Holy Land through Iraq, and another episodes apparent stereotyping of Albanians as a nation of fat car thieves. As long as Top Gear remains the testosterone-fuelled star at the top of the BBC tree, it’s doubtful that the producers – or Jeremy Clarkson, for that matter – will care much about these squawking from the emotionally bruised and easily aggrieved, and fans of the show have come to regard these twice-yearly eruptions as a sort of bonus feature."

MYTH: Hormone blockers, used to delay puberty in transgender teens, are detrimental
to one’s health.
FACT: Hormone blockers are a safe way to “buy time” as the transgender teen decides
whether to go on cross-hormones. This treatment prevents the (often traumatic)
development of secondary sex characteristics that do not match the person’s gender
identity. It also prevents the need for painful and expensive surgeries to undo these
changes later in life. This treatment is widely endorsed by family doctors,
endocrinologists, psychologists, and other specialists involved in transgender health
programs.

Yet, at the same time, they sought to spread hatred of Israel and Jews among the American-Muslim community.

The Muslim students attacked the Coptic student on Thursday at Monqebad Secondary School in Assiut.

(Reuters) - The Obama administration is considering transferring to Afghan custody a senior Taliban official suspected of major human rights abuses as part of a long-shot bid to improve the prospects of a peace deal in Afghanistan, Reuters has learned.
The potential hand-over of Mohammed Fazl, a 'high-risk detainee' held at the Guantanamo Bay military prison since early 2002, has set off alarms on Capitol Hill and among some U.S. intelligence officials.
As a senior commander of the Taliban army, Fazl is alleged to be responsible for the killing of thousands of Afghanistan's minority Shi'ite Muslims between 1998 and 2001.

"Affirmative action” was the logical sequel to the civil-rights legislation of the 1960s. The initial reasoning was attractive enough. New guarantees of equality of opportunity were insufficient to achieve the promised social parity, given the legacy of slavery and the existence of ongoing racial bias. Therefore, to counteract the effects of historical discrimination, the race of individuals must be weighed into contemporary hiring and admissions practices. The key was to avoid the word “quota.” That did not sound very “affirmative” for a program that supposedly was about growing (or “enriching”) the pie, not a crass zero-sum game of taking a college spot or a job from one person and giving it to another on the basis of race."
Victor Davis Hanson nails it.
Canadians appear pretty smug these days as they watch and comment on the U.S. presidential race.
In some ways I can’t blame them. There have also been a series of candidates on the Republican side who have risen high only to self-implode.
First Michelle Bachman, followed by Rick Perry and then Herman Cain. That leaves Newt Gingrich as the only challenger to Mitt Romney.
I still have a hard time believing this is happening. Newt Gingrich was last a viable political figure when Kenneth Starr and the investigation into the Monica Lewinsky scandal were leading the nightly news. But rather than just smirk and laugh, Canadians should be worried. Without a strong, viable candidate, the Republicans will not win the White House and that leaves Canada stuck with U.S. President Barack Obama.
Make no mistake about it, Canada needs Obama to go.

"Earlier this month, the sources said, Mr. al-Qaradawi helped draw a road map for a deal between the Taliban and the United States, aimed at giving the superpower a face-saving political settlement ahead of its planned withdrawal from Afghanistan which is due to begin in 2014.
In return for the release of prisoners still held by the United States at Guantanamo Bay, the lifting of United Nations sanctions on its leadership and its recognition as a legitimate political group, the Taliban was expected to agree to sever its links to transnational organisations like al-Qaeda, end violence and eventually share power with the Afghan government."

"We must also have a clearer understanding of Islam. The Qur’an refers to it as deen, meaning a way of life. Thus, Islam encompasses more than the set of rituals that people perform as part of their religious obligation. Unlike other religions, Islam offers a complete set of principles that guides every adherent through life. It has rules for every aspect: social, political and economic. This is not mere theory; Islamic principles have been put into practice and have produced results that are far superior to any other system.
The West’s greatest claim to superiority has rested on its ability to produce vast amounts of goods to satisfy people’s needs. The financial tsunami sweeping North America and Europe and the realization among people that their ruling elites have lied to them and robbed them of their livelihood has finally exposed this myth. If Western-style democracy and capitalism have failed their own people, why should others buy into them? But that is precisely what is being offered to Muslims in the Muslim East."

Noteworthy Canadian Islamic Congress Facts:
The CIC advocates on behalf of Hamas and Hizbollah, banned terrorist groups
The CIC has honoured Islamist hatemonger Zafar Bangash as a "Community Leader" a relationship they maintain to this day.
The CIC publishes work by notorious jew baiter "Greg Felton" author of the vile "The Host and the Parasite" , CIC representatives also happily shared a stage with Felton at a CIC event.
The CIC has been linked to the distrbution of Anti-Semitic election flyers
The CIC has promoted anti-semitic essay contests
The CIC was responsible for the infamous Maclean's Human Right Commission Free Speech Witch Hunt, which Imam Delic endorsed.
The CIC advocates for the notorius Islamist sponsored anti-free speech UN resolution promoting the "Prohibition of the public defamation of religion" which is a soft-jihad lawfare effort by the Organisation of Islamic States to make criticism of Islam illegal. Showing much fortitude Canada voted against this effort to subvert our fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression, causing CIC President Wahida Valiante to reveal the true nature of the CIC's Islamist agenda against free speech and Canadian values in her denunciation of our government. The "defamation of religion" resolution is considered so dangerous a threat that even normally soft-headed members of the lib-left, such as John Ralston Saul, have denounced it.
The CIC's current president, Wahida Valiante espouses a particularly vile strain of 911 Trutherism " "By associating the words "Islamic terrorism" with the unknown attackers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon....
"While the Obama administration has not reconciled itself to the futility of curbing Tehran's nuclear buildup through diplomatic means, most Israelis have given up hope that the international sanctions can dissuade the Islamic Republic from acquiring the means to murder by the millions. Israel's leadership faces a stark choice—either come to terms with a nuclear Iran or launch a preemptive military strike."
Turkish court accepts online blasphemy case, ECtHR ruling precedent
"A Turkish court has accepted an indictment filed against a man who allegedly insulted Islamic values online by a prosecutor who cited an earlier ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
The lawsuit was filed against A.M.S. over his remarks allegedly insulting Islamic beliefs on Ekşi Sözlük (Sour Times), a website on which contributors share their comments on various issues and incidents in Turkey. In the indictment she prepared over a criminal complaint filed against A.M.S. by an individual, İstanbul prosecutor Nurten Altınok referred to a 1994 decision of the ECtHR in the Otto-Preminger-Institut v. Austria case. The case concerns an application by the Austria-based Otto-Preminger-Institut at the European court over the ban of a movie by the Austrian government in 1985, on the grounds that it insulted the Christian religion."
Impunity Watch is a human rights blog run by the Syracuse University faculty of law and they've done good work in the past. However...
"The real story is that religious cleansing by Islamists acting in the name of Islam is taking place throughout the Middle East and Christians are being victimized wherever they live. Wherever Christians remain in the Middle East they are being subjected to terrible persecution and forced to live in fear for their lives, just because they are Christian, just because they don’t practice Islam."
Read more..."On Monday, the Salafist Nour Party’s official Facebook page denied any relation to an anonymous new group launched on Facebook, the “Committee for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice in Egypt.” The party's denial followed controversy among social media users after the anonymous Salafist group used the party logo in their first Facebook statement on Sunday, despite insisting they are independent."
Sure Sure.
"Jazz has been attending the Toronto District School Board’s playgroup for gender independent children, and the family walked with the board’s contingent in the city’s annual pride parade."
Someone really must think of the children.
"An Austrian appellate court has upheld the conviction of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, a Viennese housewife and anti-Jihad activist, for "denigrating religious beliefs" after giving a series of seminars about the dangers of radical Islam. The December 20 ruling shows that while Judaism and Christianity can be disparaged with impunity in postmodern multicultural Austria, speaking the truth about Islam is subject to swift and hefty legal penalties.
Although the case has major implications for freedom of speech in Austria, as well as in Europe as a whole, it has received virtually no press coverage in the American mainstream media."
"Canada is concerned that forces worse than deposed strongman Hosni Mubarak could rise to power in a newly democratic Egypt, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in an interview.
“There are obviously forces who want democracy and progressive change (in Egypt), but there are clearly some forces that would want something that's probably worse than what we had before,” he said in a taped interview with CTV News to be aired Monday."
Ayatollah Morteza Motahari's "Martyr in Islam" is converted into German and released to German book market.
Motahari's words of Jihad: "There is no substance in Christianity; it contains no more than a few moral teachings that form a set of advice such as "tell the truth", "do not tell lies", "do not gobble up the wealth of others", and so on. [...] Islam however is a religion that sees its duty and commitment to form an Islamic state. Islam came to reform society and to form a nation and government. It's mandate is the reform of the whole world. Such a religion cannot be indifferent. It cannot be without a law of jihad."
Maybe Motahari's musings sound better in the original Nazi.
Asia Bibi, a Christian woman, has been sentenced to death under Pakistan's notorious blasphemy law for insulting Islam. She is now in prison. The law is often used to settle grudges, persecute minorities and fan rage of the Islamic devout.

Rick McGinnis. "There might be young people unaware of the dire historical facts and the unspeakable human toll of that war, but for almost everyone else, the sheer scale of the losses and nightmarish reality of the trenches, repeated in refrain for almost a century, has dulled us to the staggering truth of it all.
For most conspicuous bravery and dash ( NE of Bois de Moreuil, France ) when in command of a squadron detailed for special service of a very important nature. On reaching the first objective, Lieutenant Flowerdew saw two lines of the enemy, each about sixty strong, with machine guns in the centre and flanks, one line being about two hundred yards behind the other.
Realising the critical nature of the operation and how much depended upon it, Lieutenant Flowerdew ordered a troop under Lieutenant Harvey VC, to dismount and carry out a special movement while he led the remaining three troops to the charge. The squadron ( less one troop ) passed over both lines, killing many of the enemy with the sword, and wheeling about galloped at them again.
Although the squadron had then lost about 70 per cent of its numbers, killed and wounded, from rifle and machine gun fire directed on it from the front and both flanks, the enemy broke and retired.
The survivors of the squadron then established themselves in a position where they were joined, after much hand-to-hand fighting, by Lieutenant Harvey’s party. Lieutenant Flowerdew was dangerously wounded through both thighs during the operation but continued to cheer on his men. There can be no doubt that this officer’s great valour was the prime factor in the capture of the position.
Because he was right. Socialism and communism are simply different names for the same totalitarian disease.

"When Lord Sacks, chief rabbi in England, rose in the House of Lords to speak about the persecution of Christians, he quoted Martin Luther King. "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
This in turn was quoted in an excellent article in the Daily Telegraph this week. Fraser Nelson asked all the pertinent questions about the indifference displayed by the British Foreign Office to the persecution of Christians (along with other minorities) in Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Algeria; indeed, throughout the Middle East. Why do our diplomats refuse even to raise the issue with their counterparts in these countries?"

"There have been two predictable Western responses to the rise of Islamism in Egypt and across the Arab world: panic and rationalization. Panic is self-explanatory: The Muslim Brotherhood and its more radical cousins are, generally speaking, anti-Western, anti-Semitic, hostile to Christians in their midst, and have a view of women that most Westerners find abhorrent. It is not difficult for creative minds to place the Muslim Brotherhood on a continuum that ends at al-Qaeda, even though al-Qaeda was created in part as a corrective to what Osama bin Laden & Co. viewed as the unforgivable moderation of the Brotherhood. The panic felt in some quarters is precisely what men such as Mubarak, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali in Tunisia, and even the late-stage Muammar Qaddafi in Libya hoped to cultivate in their Western interlocutors."
