Copenhagen, Climate, Canada

Let's hope Prentice is a fossil

"The angrier greens get at Canada's environment minister in Copenhagen, the happier we should be"

hehehehehehe

"I suggest Canadian taxpayers who don't have the time or money to go winging off to the UN's never-ending Kyoto road show to remind politicians that they work for us, instead let out a huge cheer and a sigh of relief back home every time Prentice receives a fossil award in Copenhagen.

New citizenship guide says no to "barbaric" practices

"Canada's revamped citizenship guide warns newcomers that "barbaric cultural practices" such as honour killings will not be tolerated, marking a stronger tone against importing beliefs that clash with Canadian values."

"In Canada, men and women are equal under the law," the document says. "Canada's openness and generosity do not extend to barbaric cultural practices that tolerate spousal abuse, ‘honour killings,' female genital mutilation or other gender-based violence. Those guilty of these crimes are severely punished under Canada's criminal laws."

Colby Cosh has a great analysis of the new guide and, of course, a member of the Liberal Party is whining.

The Starfish Revolution?

"If you decapitate a spider, it dies, but if you lop off an arm of a starfish, it regenerates. In like manner, despite a massive crackdown from the Iranian regime–thousands of arrests (now termed “kidnappings” by Iranian Tweeters), scores of executions, mass rape and other forms of torture, show trials and stern intimidation from political and military leaders, judges and clerics, the Green Path moves on, with its next publicly announced challenge to the regime set for December 7th."

[---]

"There are lots of starfish in this movement, and the regime knows it. That is why, with all the brutality that has been unleashed, the mullahs still recoil from arresting the troika. (Ed: Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami) They know that such an act would fill the streets, and they also know that many members of the security forces would stand aside, or even join the revolution."

[---]

"But even a movement like this one cannot flourish without good leadership. Anyone looking at the behavior of the anti-regime crowds cannot help being enormously impressed with their discipline. Slogans are prepared and chanted, signs and banners are brandished at the security forces, green arm bands, head bands and wristlets appear at just the right moment. This points to organization, not pure spontaneity."

[---]

"Funny world, isn’t it? The Islamic Republic teeters on the edge of history’s garbage dump, a fascinating revolutionary movement bids to change the world, and peace prizes are given to an accomplice to evil–Mohammed al Baradei–and an American president who won’t throw his moral weight behind tens of millions of Iranians who are risking their lives to be able to have a government like ours."

Great One from American Thinker

The Left and Terror

"Clearly, American leftists cannot act otherwise. They can never be truly patriotic in the real sense, in the sense of sacrifice and overcoming doubts, of valuing their country as a larger expression of family and neighborhood. To ask that of them is to ask them to give up their higher allegiance, to demand that they stop being leftists, stop being progressives, stop being the world's holy fools. And that is to ask too much."

"So how do we respond? We'll pause here to allow the loud cry of "Hang ‘em all!" to roll over us and commend everyone involved for their enthusiasm, if not their prescription. But what we need,....

"Dummer Than Just Noise"

Terry Glavin gives Murray Dobbin a well deserved kick in the nuts. I had the displeasure of rubbing shoulders with Dobbin a long time ago when I lived in Saskatoon. Dummer than just noise is an apt description. How anyone could still be a raging Marxist in 2009 is well beyond dumb.

...okay, I'll even accept a thousand men and women. When I see Western Muslims organizing and marching in defense of Western civilization, and during which the chants and signs are "Down with terrorism!" or "No to political Islam", or "Not in our name!" or maybe "Nidal Malik Hassan Go to Hell!" or "CAIR is the Problem!" (I'm sure I could come up with several more), that's when I will believe the great masses of Muslims living in Canada and the United States are (*cough* *hack*) truly moderate. Let's hear it folks. I'm willing to walk with you, but first you gotta show your faces, in all senses of the phrase. Louder, please!

While I spit on the phoney outrage that customary issues from CAIR, my heart goes out to the victims' families, friends and the entire body of American armed forces.

UPDATE: Jamie Glaslov interviews Dave Gaubatz on the nature of radical Islamism and the incident at Ft. Hood.

"Journalists and their affiliated news organization are so afraid of being labeled or sued by organizations such as CAIR that they will withhold the truth from the American people.

My team and I have conducted first-hand research at over 200 Islamic Centers in the U.S., and in various Islamic organizations such as CAIR. There is one common denominator: There is an open hatred being advocated by Islamic scholars toward Christians, Jews, and Muslims who do not adhere to ‘all aspects’ of Sharia law (Islamic law).
The materials being distributed by these scholars are very clear in their message: violence against anyone who “oppresses” Islam is justified. It makes them subject to the punishment of death. Rifqa Bary (the 17-year-old Muslim girl who left Islam for Christianity) tried to speak out, but has been ignored. Many more Muslims have tried to speak out but the PR machine of the Muslim Brotherhood (backed by Saudi and Egyptian money) keeps them silent."

"Investigative journalists need to ask Imams across our country what these following statements mean and if it is likely and very possible that Muslims could use these teachings to commit acts such as occurred at Ft. HooInvestigative journalists need to ask Imams across our country what these following statements mean and if it is likely and very possible that Muslims could use these teachings to commit acts such as occurred at Ft.

Copenhagen Bust

Good thing, too.

Look at these headlines today:

US wants India to assume leading role on climate change

"Ahead of the Copenhagen summit next month, the US today said India should take a leadership role on the issue of climate change and indicated it wanted the country to cut carbon emissions."

Copenhagen deal will be 'political' not 'legal'

"The Copenhagen summit is unlikely to produce a legally binding way forward on tackling climate change, Ed Miliband has admitted."

Vaclav Klaus: 'Largest tax increase in world history'

"We should not forget how the doctrine of global warming came into being. In a normal case, everything starts with an empirical observation, with the discovery of evident trends or tendencies. Then follow scientific hypotheses and their testing. When they are not refuted, they begin to influence politicians. The whole process finally leads to some policy measures. None of this was the case with the global warming doctrine."

Copenhagen toughens up Prentice

"...the federal government has finally realized the approaching climate-change talks are an impossible mission."

Nice summary. With any luck, the whole shebang will be lying on the floor, along with history's other big scams and crazy ideas, before there is an agreement, but what I see here is that the politicos have gotten the message but are still a wee bit frightened by the warmmongers. It's only a matter of time.
