Good news for a change. It seems that the Grits have actually done something right, even if it was done more for optics that out of any sense of right and wrong (Grit morality twists and turns in the wind of public opinion, after all). Amid a barrage of criticism from virtually every non-islamofascist corner of the land, including within his own party, Ontario Grit MP Boris Wrzesnewskyj has resigned his post as as deputy foreign affairs critic. And none too soon.

Now all we need to do is get this terrorists’ useful idiot out of Parliament altogeather.

Wrzesnewskyj, you might remember, is the clown who earned the endearment of every terrorist sympathizer in the country by saying it would be a good idea for Canada to open up a dialogue with Hezbullshit and remove them from Canada’s list of terrorist organisations. How the hell do idiots like this even get elected in the first place?

Oh, yeah, I forgot. He’s from Toronto.

Well now, isn’t this interesting? The Canadian Medical Association, the Keepers of the Sacred Health Care Cow in Canada, have elected Brian Day, the owner of a private surgical clinic in Vancouver and a longtime advocate of loosening the country’s stifling restrictions agains private medicine, as their president in a secret ballot in Charlottetown.

Past president Ruth Collins-Nakai was quick to make with the “move along, folks; nothing to see here” song and dance:

“It is not necessarily a shift in ideology. I think you are seeing a level of frustration by doctors in terms of the lack of access to care. Physicians are frustrated by the fact they cannot provide the care patients need in a timely fashion.”

Couldn’t have anything to do with the current “envy-of-the-world” system being heavily composed of a bloated bureaucracy that hoovers up so much money in administrative costs and overpaid government unions now, could it?

As you probably guessed by now, the unions and their little Grit, NDP and assorted other lefty stooges are in full “EEK! it’s the end of the world!” mode. Just like they were right after Harper won the last election, but the world is still here, isn’t it? Volcanoes didn’t erupt, the dead didn’t rise from their graves, the sky stayed where it was and William Hung didn’t win a grammy. You’d think these boneheads would get bored of being wrong ALL the time…

No sooner had one judge, Superior Court Justice David Marshall, finally done something right (ie, actually enforcing the law instead of trying to make it), along come another bunch of magesterial marsupials to bugger it right back up again. And they wonder why people have lost faith in the country’s courts.

More on this as it develops.

Some things just make you shake your head. Like this, for example. I’ve known for a long time that many so-called “liberal” types, who howl so long and loud for their own liberties, separation of church and state, and who knows what else, were really nothing more than thinly-veiled God-haters. And now we have proof. Or should I just say, more proof?

As Licia Corbella reports in today’s Calgary sun:

Maybe if Artur Pawlowski had been holding a flag of the outlawed terrorist organization Hezbollah, Calgary Police would have left him alone.

Perhaps had they seen him on a street corner smoking crack cocaine — or selling it — they would have turned the other cheek, as is so often the case.

But Pawlowski was clearly doing something much more provocative Wednesday afternoon on the corner of 17 Ave. and 8 St. S.W. He — along with about six other people — were praying and reading the Bible.

The full article can be found here. I’ll keep an eye on this one and follow up with more as I get it.

This can’t be right. It just can’t be. There has to be some kind of mistake, some kind of misunderstanding, some miscommunication, anything. Not even a Liberal can possibly be THAT God damned stupid. Can they?? Somebody, anybody (I don’t care who), tell me that I’ve missed something here. Or that I’ve suddenly developed dyslexia (ironic how tricky that word is to spell, isn’t it?) and just can’t read right anymore. Or that I’ve just finally lost all my marbles and am now permanently delusional. Anything is better than the obvious.

What the hell am I on about, you ask? Oh, you’ll see; and then you can have some fun acting just like me for a while. The Grit and NDP MPs currently scurrying around Lebanon have finally taken the Big Header down the rabbit hole. A CBC article quotes Grit MP Boris Wrzesnewskyj as follows:

Wrzesnewskyj stressed that he considers Hezbollah a terrorist organization, but said he is concerned that Ottawa’s list of terror groups doesn’t differentiate between the militant and political wings of the party.

What the hell…??? That’s like saying that you don’t mind if your kid plays with a rattlesnake’s tail, because that’s not the end that bites. And NDP bobblehead Peggy Nash doesn’t seem to be any brighter:

Wrzesnewskyj’s comments were echoed by Nash, who is also from Toronto. She said many Lebanese regard Hezbollah as resistance fighters.

“It’s just not helpful to label them a terrorist organization,” said Nash.

“If the political parties can figure out a way to work with Hezbollah and try to get along internally, then we should perhaps take a cue from that.”

Where the hell is this coming from?? Are these Hezbullshit-huggers so damned dense that they aren’t even familliar with the concept of the useful idiot? I’ve never been one to overestimate the intelligence of the meatheads on the left, but could I have possible been that wrong? Or were they really that stupid the whole time and I somehow missed it?

Fortunately, there are some more level heads around Ottawa. Captain Wetsuit announced today that, so long as the Tories are in power, there is no way in hell that Hezbullshit is getting off the list of banned terrorist organizations:

“I can’t think of anything more damaging for the hope of peace than to encourage the very group, Hezbollah, that is intent on the genocide of the Jewish people and the annihilation of Israel. To preserve Canada’s credibility, there is no way we will delist Hezbollah and I hope these MPs deny these remarks outright or claim they were taken out of context.”

AHA! I knew that this wouldn’t take long. I’ve been getting quite a bit of email in the past 24 hours, some of it reasoned but most just the usual “EEK! FASCIST!” panicspeak from the left, all about the question of what to do with little criminal brats young offenders aged 10 and 11. The howling left says that social services are the ultimate answer and the justice system has no business going there.

Well, a story from today’s Freeps proves my point better than I ever could. If this doesn’t prove that our “youth criminal justice system” needs a major overhaul, nothing will. Because it’s so good, I’m putting the whole damn thing right here. Go ahead, ya squawkin’ moonbats; make excuses for these ones if you can:

430 times later, youths in trouble
Thu, August 17, 2006
By SUSAN KIRWIN, FREE PRESS REPORTER

Three London teens — two of whom police have dealt with an eye-popping 430 times combined — were detained yesterday after an overnight chase of a car reported stolen.

The pursuit lasted about 35 minutes before the car lost a tire and rammed into two cruisers at Commissioners Road and Springbank Drive.

No one was hurt, but damage to the cars was put at $5,000.

All three teen suspects — two 16-year-olds and a 13-year-old — were being held in custody until a court appearance.

No charges had been laid.

A suspect in the car chased acknowledged police with obscene gestures, police said.

Police say they’ve had more than 430 so-called “contacts” with the 16-year-olds, a number that one youth justice expert called “extraordinary.”

“In all of my (30) years, I have rarely come up against young people that have that many occurrences,” said London psychologist Alan Leschied, an education professor at the University of Western Ontario.

The 13-year-old also has an extensive police background, police said.

Leschied said it’s likely the teens have been in custody, on probation or monitored by police before.

“It sounds like these young people will have a high probability of continuing into the adult criminal justice system,” he said.

Leschied said chronic persistent offenders usually begin their criminal careers before their 10th birthday.

Treatment programs are more effective the younger the offender, he noted.

“Those programs typically work on a vast majority of young people, but there’s a certain percentage of young people who defy even the best programs,” said Leschied.

Four hundred and thirty times. Let me say that again: FOUR HUNDRED AND THIRTY TIMES!! Is there anybody out there that really believes that a little exertion of firm, well-defined and absolute boundaries would have been no help at all if it had been applied to these brats earlier in life?

Toews is on the right track, whether the deluded hug-a-thug handwringers on the left want to admit it or not.
