I love a good cartoon. Especially when it makes this much sense… 😆

Kudos to cartoonist Chuck Asay at the Colorado Springs Gazette (click the image to enlarge).

I guess this just goes to show you that getting your paper online is still no substitute for actually grabbing a good old-fashioned stack of newsprint. Commentor VF posted yesterday that Right Crazy seems to have found its way into one of the TO Sun’s regular print features (not available online, apparently) called “The Best of the Blogs.” Seeing as how I only check out the TO Sun online, I had no idea about this but VF seems a little more on the ball:

   Congrats for being mentioned in the TO Sun, Best of the Blogs! You make a good point…and if Tory doesn’t start looking different than Mcguinty I won’t be voting in the provincials.

Wow, “mentioned in the TO Sun, Best of the Blogs!” How the hell did that happen? 😯 And here I thought I was just some guy with a cheap computer shooting his mouth off. I’m gonna end up with a swelled head or something if I’m not careful.

Now I gotta round up a bunch o’ old copies of the Sun… 🙄

Gee, I don’t know… How about damn near anybody?  To the surprise of no one, except of course the TO (Red) Star, the ratings for the Ministry Of What You Should Think’s latest flop took a header when the second episode was aired.  It seems that Little Mosque on the Prairie (Laura Ingalls Wilder must be whirling dervishly in her grave) just isn’t turning out to be the endearing new smash hit that the loopy Left all told us it was.  Or maybe the nearly 50% drop in viewership was due a million Canucks suddenly realizing they were out of beer at the same time and couldn’t get back in time to watch. 🙄

Gee whiz, I wonder how that happened?  Could it maybe be that the largest audience for sitcoms in the country is made up of white Christians and the show seems to portray every non-Muslim in the cast as a bumbling closet bigot?  In comedy, you can get away with making fun of your audience but not outright insulting them (unless you’re Don Rickles), which is exactly what Little Mosque seems to do.  In the show that Michael Coren called “visual drudgery“… well, I’ll let him say it:

From beginning to end the show thumps us over our non-hijab wearing heads with a clumsy hammer. Any fears about Islam, we are told, are based on our own ignorance and bigotry.

Everyone is a caricature in Little Mosque, but some caricatures are more obnoxious than others.

The Muslim characters are nice and kind and ordinary in that quintessentially Canadian way. Some of them may be silly and old-fashioned but they’d never hurt a fly, let alone kill an infidel.

The non-Muslim caricatures, however, are repugnant. Especially if they’re cops.

So scratch that demographic out of your audience.  Okay, maybe they’re targeting the Muslim demographic, that whopping 1.9% of the population, half of whom probably won’t approve of the show in any case.  Nah, I didn’t think so, either.

Even if it wasn’t a thinly-veiled backhand at anyone not a raving moonbat, it would still fail.  Because it’s crappy.  Crappy in that quintessentially CBC way.  It’s the kind of writing and production that can only be made by a bunch of lefties secure in their deathgrip on the governmental funding teat.  Your tax dollars at work.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to part two of my run for that li’l old fatwa brass ring. In case you missed yesterday’s post on this, I’m putting up a few YouTube vids that were filmed inside some British mosques by an undercover reporter with Channel 4.

So far, so good. Keep that hate mail rolling in because, you know, that’s the best way to get a guy like me to toe the line.

Because it needs it, that’s why. Yeah, you heard that right. We get told over and over and over again about how Islam is “the religion of peace,” it’s not a threat to us, the majority of muslims just want to live and let live. And if you can’t get that through your head, then you must just not be tolerant enough. You’re just a mean, nasty, Islamophobic bigot who either, at best, is just too ignorant to know any better or, at worst, has some malevolant George-Bushesque hatred rooted deep in your worm-ridden heart.

Bullshit.

In all my years of listening to the acolytes of the multicult dogma who relentlessly bludgeon us with the claim that we can’t judge people by this or that or the other thing, there is one question that I have never, not even once, heard answered:

Just how God damned many times does a man have to see the same thing happen over and over and over and over and over and over again… before he’s allowed to say that he can see it coming?

Any takers? I didn’t think so. Muslims fly planes into buildings, we are told it has nothing to do with Islam. Muslims turn a country into a medieval hellhole, we are told it has nothing to do with Islam. Muslims blow themselves up on busses in London, it has nothing to do with Islam. Muslims (women, too) come out in support of a rape advocate, nothing to do with Islam. Muslims plot to murder Canadians and behead our Prime Minister, no Islam there.

Then why the hell do the perpetrators howl so long and loud that it IS all about Islam, and nothing else?  (Except for those nasty Jews, of course…)

And don’t give me any of that “those are just a few bad apples” bullshit. Spare me the myth of the vast, moderate muslim majority. I’ll stick with the evidence of my own eyes. Where was the “moderate muslim” outpouring of outrage when the TO17 got busted? I didn’t hear a peep. But they sure as hell came out in droves to get their knickers in a twist (and threaten violence in the name of their “peaceful religion”) over a few cartoons, didn’t they?

Britain’s independent Channel 4’s respected Dispatches programme sent a reporter undercover in several major and influential British mosques to see just what was being said behind Jack Q. Briton’s back. Some of what they found will be posted here, in three parts.

Today we start off with:

• Terrorists are innocent, because all kuffaar (that’s you and me) are liars; lying is part of their religion. They are the terrorists, not muslims, and all muslims should hate them.
• Sharia should be obeyed; not the law of the land.
• Muslim terrorists (who are all innocent) are better than non-muslims.
• Muslims should settle for nothing less than a total Islamic state.
• Apostates and homosexuals should be killed outright.
• Free speech is evil unless it incites violence against people muslims don’t like.
• Holy war is coming and you’d better be on the right side.
• Kuffaar schools corrupt your children.
• Women are inferior; beat them if they don’t do as they’re told.
• Pedophilia is fine and dandy.
• Be a bigot, but be two-faced about it so that your ass is covered.

You know, all that good, wholesome religion-of-peace that we have nothing to worry about kind of stuff. Think I’m making this shit up, do you? Well then, smartass, play the vid and see for yourself. And while you’re at it, ask yourself this:

If it can happen in England, just why can’t it happen here?

Part 2 tomorrow…

Why the hell is this even a story to begin with? 🙄 Decima Research has cacked up a little hairball and is now trumpeting that “most Canadians want a Democrat president,” as if it’s any of our God damned business. The pollsters blather on that we Canucks would rather have a jackass than an elephant by a margin of four to one.

Republican preferences were particularly low in Atlantic Canada, among women, retirees and francophones, with support ranging from five to eight per cent.

The Democratic option found favour, relative to Republicans, in every region of the country – including Alberta – and among self-identified Conservative voters.

Albertans in the Decima poll preferred a Democratic president in 2008 by a margin of 43-21. People who voted Conservative in the last election were only slightly less enthusiastic, choosing the Democratic option over a Republican by a 41-24 split.

Well, golly gumbucks, four out of five; ain’t we an opinionated li’l bunch all of a sudden? Try this one on for size:

FIVE out of five Canadians don’t GET to vote in American federal elections, shitforbrains!

And just where the hell do we get off trying to think that we can tell the Yanks how their country should be run? If they tried a stunt like that, we would finally see some true all-party unity in this country: everybody would go apeshit about it.

Ah, but polls and headlines are interesting, spinny, little things, aren’t they? What you won’t hear hooted in the headlines is this: almost half (42%) of everyone that they asked replied that it was none of their damned business who was the next POTUS.

But you won’t find any headlines shouting “42% of Canucks Choose to Mind Their Own Business,” will you? Nope, you won’t. I wonder why that could be, eh? Could it be because the media in this country — more so than even in the US — is rabidly leftist and bent upon overinflating any slight hint of moonbattery that it can find in our collective consciousness in the hopes that, if they tell us often enough how far to the loopy Left we are, we’ll start to believe it? Let’s face it, anybody with two brain cells to rub together knows damn well that the MSM in this country, from the TO (red) Star to the Ministry Of What You Should Think, is saturated with lib-left malcontents with more “hidden agendas” than Harper was ever even accused of having. This is just another example.

Who the hell was is that said that polls are most productively used by dogs? 😕
