If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting to see these. The Canadian Armed Forces have released their latest Rectuiting ads today in Atlantic Canada.

“But what if I don’t live in the Maritimes,” you ask? No problem at all. You can watch them right here (be patient, though; the first 15 seconds or so are blank screen for some reason):

One of the problems with modern politics is that, all too often, the leaders of the world’s nations are forced to utter just about every damned syllable that they have to say from behind a podium. This has the effect of isolating them from the rest of us in many ways; we never really know if there is any real passion there or not. But every now and then, somebody forgets that the camera is still on…

What you are about to see is, shall we say, George Dubya…uncut, delivering a verbal bitchslapping to career bobblehead Matt Lauer on his opinions of what his priorities should be and are. I’ve never been much of a Bush fan (even though I do think he gets a bum rap a lot of the time) but I kinda like him here. Granted, it’s no “just watch me,” (the only time I ever took any pride in Trudeau) but it’s good and honest; a rarity in any politician these days.

And no, I have no idea what Lauer said to light Dubya’s fuse, but he sure seems to have gotten the blunt end out of it.

Well, this is an odd feeling. Reading an article in the TO (red) Star isn’t something that I do very often. Reading an article in the TO (red) Star and agreeing with the damned thing is… Well, it’s damned near unheard of. I guess all that bafflegab about truth being stranger than fiction isn’t just a bunch of hot air, after all.

The article details how a recent poll, released over the last weekend, indicates that we seem to have taken a national faceplant into the starch vat of collective consciousness. That’s right; noses are hardening and upper lips are stiffening from Cornerbrook to Comox and all places in between:

The poll showed that the attitude of Canadians toward our involvement in Afghanistan, far from becoming more and more fearful and critical as almost all commentators have so far taken for granted would happen, is, if anything hardening. …it does seem to be the case that calls for Canada to quit Afghanistan — most recently by NDP leader Jack Layton — have fallen, not on deaf ears but on ears that are tuned elsewhere.

While poking around at PTBC the other day, I came across a post that caught my eye almost immediately. Then again, anything with the tagline “[fill in the blank] that liberals will love to hate” generally gets my attention anyway…

It seems that an American website called Progress For America has produced an ad, which started running on American TV last Friday, that really sticks a pin in the touchy-feely balloon of the liberal excusemonger crowd. Check it out for yourself:

And be sure to stop by the website at www.progressforamerica.org and see what else they have to offer.

That’s been a question on a lot of lips lately. Well, we need wonder no more, since Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has set it clear for us. In an exclusive CBC interview with Nahlah Ayed, Siniora as much as admitted that it is Hezbullshit, NOT the Lebanese government, that runs the country.

I have to admit, I for one am damned surprised that he had the guts to come out and admit it like that.

More evidence that cranial cobwebs are evaporating, even in the MSM, has appeared in the wake of the foiled terrorist plot in Britian. Columnist such as the Freeps‘ Rory Leishman and the Calgary Sun‘s Ted Byfield have been pointing out for some time that the hard questions are going to need to be asked if our society is to survive, and it is beginning to look like more and more previously denial-bound dunderheads are beginning to take notice.

The hard questions that I’m talking about are also the simple and obvious ones that occur to everyone, whether they admit it or not, but the screeching handwringers on the left constantly admonish us must never, ever be asked openly. To do so, they say, would destroy the little multicult utopia that “we have all worked so hard for.” Those questions are: When are we going to reexamine our immigration policies in a rational fashion and When we finally get pushed too far (which we likely will), what will we do then?

Terrorism is not as “home grown” as apologists would have us believe. And Byfield hit it right on the head with:

“Those who sought political asylum,” observes the London Telegraph, “continue pursuing old vendettas from their suburban British homes — and demanding British conformity to Islamic values.”
But if the attacks had succeeded, one wonders how much of this arrogance would we be prepared to put up with?
Or as we counted our dead, would the day have arrived when at last we say to the “Muslim Community”:
“Get rid of these guys or we get rid of you.”

Now there’s a thought that should keep your typical multicultist awake at night. Not particularily palatable to me, either. After all, just what would we consider to be too extreme after the bodies of our own started piling up? Germany found out the answer to that one the hard way. And don’t fool yourselves, this is a war, and it must be won.
