I barely have time to blog as myself let alone as sombody else. That doesn't seem to stop the folks over at "Run, Forest, Run!" from developing their theories though:
Two things you probably never knew about the anonymous Blogging Tory "Neo Conservative":
He is, in reality, failed Calgary politician and NAMBLA-obsessive Richard Evans.
Yes, there's a punchline; you'll just have to be patient.
If you're wondering why I'm referring to "Canadian Cynic" as "Run, Forest, Run!", it's because, like Forest Gump, CC seems to be able to survive in spite of his retardation...
(Remember kids, I'm allowing you to listen to a product that I legally
purchased and it would be illegal for you to download it for your own
personal use.)
I can't say that I feel any sort of outrage towards this at all because when I make my way out east, I'll be making a special stop specifically so I can show him how I really feel...
Charles Adler interviews David Rothkopff . It's not surprising that Rothkopff would be spewing Marxist dogma because, well, that's what he does. What is surprising is that a "supposedly" centrest radio host just sat there and swallowed the pablum. Not once did Adler question Rothkopff's core assertions:
This group has so much more money and talent and power than the poor, untalanted people, and the rich people need to use their money and power for the "common good". Inequity! Inequity! Inequity! The wealth of the elites needs to be restrained! Controls need to be put in place! Mechanisation of labor has to stop! Bono and Al Gore are Heros!
Give me a friggin' break! That crap is right out of the communist manefesto !
What's wrong with having individuals with talent, using their talent to earn a profit?
What's wrong with having the market determine what price will be paid for that talent?
What obligation, moral or otherwise, is there that dictates that an individual's profit be shared with others?
What right does Rothkopff have to say that the talented people are earning too much?
Why should it be up to the state to determine how much profit an individual can make?
Those are the questions that Adler should have been asking but he didn't. Why not? Because Marxism is so ingraned in Canadian culture that not even the "centrists" bat an eye at it anymore...
Animal rights activists have targeted a plumbers' firm in a dispute over Oxford University's animal testing laboratory.
The Animal Liberation Front (ALF) claimed responsibility for
spraying "Drop Oxford Uni" on shutters at Steve Rusk Plumbers, Wootton
Road Industrial Estate, on an American website.
The ALF - which opposes the animal testing laboratory in South Parks
Road - said it carried out the attack because the firm has been working
for Oxford University.
A police spokesman said the attack happened overnight on Tuesday,
April 15, and anyone with information should contact officers on 08458
505 505 or speak anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

A comment that accompanies the above article sums it up very well:
As strategic violence is accepted as vaild by the Animal rights
brigade, surely it is time that a few local activists were treated to a
similar campaign for tacit support of terrorism.
A few anonymous daubings here, some exhumations there and parcels of razor blades sent to children there.
Perhaps then they will then get the message that violence and
intimidation are not acceptable in civilised society and tacit approval
of it likewise.
Imagine the uproar that would come from the lefto-sphere if some of these terrorists were themselves terrorized...
Disclaimer: This image has been photoshopped. Beyond their desire to have the state control your speech
(and thoughts?) and the fact that Richard Warman has posted supportive comments to a Nazi website, under an assumed identity, there is no real evidence, yet available, that Warren
Kinsella and Richard Warman are Nazis or Nazi supporters.
...and I did not hesitate, in either case, to alert my readers to
instances where expressing bona fide points of view (on immigration, on
anti-taxation movements, on gay rights, on the Holocaust, on free
speech, on what have you) inadvertently gave encouragement to the
forces of organized racism. That neo-Nazis will disproportionately
benefit from the elimination of reasonable limitations on expression
is, I acknowledge, no basis for clamping down on all expression. But
the haters will benefit - and that, I submit, is a consequence that always
needs to be considered. It is therefore fair and appropriate to draw
people's attention to the fact that neo-Nazis and white supremacists
are deliriously happy about Keith Martin's proposal, to me. "Rubbing
people's noses in the reality of hate," I wrote in Web of Hate, is
sometimes necessary. I know lots of good people get upset by that - but
that ostrich-like tendency is the problem, here: too many folks in the
blogosphere are forming opinions on hate propaganda, on violent
pornography and other hateful expression, in the abstract... - Warren Kinsella
Shorter: You're not allowed to speak your mind on things like immigration, anti-taxation, homosexuality and even free speech itself, lest it create an environment where others begin to speak their own minds and even form, their own opinions, as a result.
1921, from It. partito nazionale fascista, the anti-communist political movement organized 1919 under Benito Mussolini (1883-1945); from It. fascio "group, association," lit. "bundle." Fasci
"groups of men organized for political purposes" had been a feature of
Sicily since c.1895; the 20c. sense probably infl. by the Roman fasces (q.v.) which became the party symbol. Fascism, also 1921, was originally used in Eng. 1920 in its It. form, fascismo. Applied to similar groups in Germany from 1923.
"A
form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with
community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults
of unity, energy and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed
nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration
with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with
redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of
internal cleansing and external expansion." [Robert O. Paxton, "The
Anatomy of Fascism," 2004]
Richard Warman, member of
Stormfront and the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission's all but sole
plaintiff, recently embarked on legal action against The National Post and its columnist Jonathan Kay plus five bloggers: Ezra Levant, Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle and Mark and Connie at Free Dominion.
All these folks have been important voices in exposing the rot at the
CHRC and the improper and corrupt procedures that have developed since
Warman began using the Commission as his personal inquisition. Those in
favor of rolling back the "human rights" commissions' powers now
include the Canadian Association of Journalists, the Canadian Civil
Liberties Association, PEN Canada, Liberal MP Keith Martin and every
major newspaper from the conservatish National Post to the liberal Toronto Star.
But these five bloggers were among the first to get the ball rolling
and their energy has been critical to the campaign to restore free
speech to Canada.
So, in order to support
the Freedom Five as they resist Mr Warman's attempt to shut them down,
we're holding a special fundraiser until midnight Eastern Time tonight.
For the whole of Warman Wednesday, 50 per cent of the purchase price of
America Alone - that's to say, our entire profit - will be
donated to the legal defense fund for Ezra and co. That's 50 per cent
of the purchase price of America Alone
not just in the new paperback edition, but also of the hardback, the
CD, the audio cassette and the MP3 version. Better yet, we'll also pass
on to our Internet comrades 50 per cent of the purchase price of the America Alone Anniversary Special: you'll get America Alone plus The Face Of The Tiger and the Viva Steyn! T-shirt at one low price, and Ezra, Kate, Kathy and Free Dominion will get half the proceeds.
I'm picking up the mp3 version of the book... Find out more at the above link
I think this is my favorite newspaper headline yet: Priest attached to party balloons vanishes in Brazil.
Now you know what to bring to the next party at your local church: a
lawn chair, a bunch of balloons, and a helium tank. I am imagining a
day when every priest in the world stands smiling beneath a great happy
bobbing collection of many-colored balloons, and they all joyously loft
themselves up, up into the sky, joyfully drifting away before the winds
until they are just a tiny speck and then … gone. It will be a miracle.
This will be my new dream. It will bring a smile to my face as I fall asleep.
And as long as I'm dreaming, I'll imagine myself with an ultralight
aircraft and a BB gun, buzzing above a great Sargasso of wind-gathered
balloons.
