Some of you might remember that I’ve grouched about this before but you’ve got to admit that this makes for one hell of a twist. It’s one of those peculiar things that makes me laugh and pisses me off at the same time.

It pisses me off because it’s just one more indication of the erosion of the character of our nation’s youth that they would have such contempt for those that provide them with the very protection that spoiled brats like them cannot exist without. Let’s face it: none of these little bastards would have even considered trashing a house like that if they thought that the owner would hunt them down and horse-whip their little hides off. What prevents that? Why, that would be the law, of course.

What gives me a chuckle about all this is thinking about something from when I was a kid myself. Like most others my age that grew up in a small town, I had a dad that seemed to have a saying for just about every occasion (and some of those sayings could be a lot more colourful than others). One of those sayings, that I really didn’t bother to ponder too much at the time, was “don’t poke the bear.” Well, that just might be what these little house-trashing smartasses have gone and done (emphasis added by yours truly, of course)…

The Lakeshore Road home, owned by a husband-and-wife pair of Lambton OPP officers, was heavily damaged on March 2 when, in their absence, their 15-year-old daughter held a party that spun wildly out of control, drawing about 150 teenagers.

Oops. Anyone care to make odds on the chances that, the next time one of these little hooligans finds themselves in need of help, the nearest officer just might be very, very far away or perhaps inextricably occupied with an extremely important doughnut? On the other hand, if one of these little pricks happens to jaywalk, they could find that cops get around a lot more than one might think.

Wouldn’t that be nice?

Well now, this just has to be some kind of new vista of asshattery if I’ve ever seen one. It seems that every Lefty’s favourite international sanctimonious busybody and toothless tiger has decided to pipe up and finally take mean, nasty Canada — yup, you read that right — to task for being the vile, evil bunch of racist honky bastards that we are. That’s right: the UN has loudly and proudly declared that Canada should be wearing sackcloth and ashes for using the term “visible minorities.” Yes indeed, boys & girls, no fly turd is safe in the pepper with these shitheads around…

Like all countries that are party to the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, Canada must periodically appear before the committee to make the case that it is a non-racist society. I think it’s fair to say that Canada is among the most tolerant nations on earth. But UN committees being what they are, the committee members always find something to lecture us about.

This year, the committee really had to scrape the bottom of the anti-racism barrel: As reported on the front page of Thursday’s National Post, the committee concluded that our government shouldn’t be using the term “visible minorities.” Despite the fact that this term appears in our legislation for no other reason than to mandate and track affirmative action programs that help “visible minorities” (please excuse my racism), the term, we are told, is “not … in accordance with the aims and objectives of the Convention.”

So, anybody out there still need some more proof that the UN has hung around long after it’s “best before” date?

Let’s get one thing straight right now: this has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with combating racism, making the world a better place or anything else even remotely worthwhile. It’s nothing more than Exhibit #14,867,942 in the case against political-correctness-run-amok. It has nothing whatsoever to do with improving anyone‘s lot in life or with any question of what may, or may not, offend the majority of the people that this gaggle of Darwin-Award-winners-in-waiting so stridently claim to be protecting. What it does have to do with is the self-satisfaction of a bunch walking widgets who are so morally vacuous and utterly useless in this life that they are incapable of coming up with anything better to do with their time than clamouring to be offended on other people’s behalf whilst sucking at the tax teat of those of us that actually get things done.

In an effort to give the appearance that they somehow have a purpose — because, if it were revealed that they really don’t, someone might pry them off the funding/grant teat expect them to start doing something productive — they relentlessly pursue a useless word-game where the rules change approximately every 3.1457 seconds. The time has come to toss these walking sacks of maggot food onto the trash heap of the History of Stupid Ideas where they belong. Scrapping the UN while we’re at it wouldn’t be a bad ide, either.

Oh, yeah; before I go…

VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES! VISIBLE MINORITIES!

Dickheads…

Quebec politics actually can be more interesting than a critical review of the Encyclopeadia of Proctology. Who’d’a thunk it, eh? Most people who read here regularly already know that I find Quebec politics in general — and the current provincial election in particular — to be someplace between belly button lint and spinach on my scale of interestingness (yes, that’s a word).

So you can probably imagine how surprised I was when I stumbled across a story about a Quebec politician saying something that wasn’t just interesting, it was damn smart, too! 😯 It seems that the ADQ‘s leader, Mario Dumont, is taking a page from the “enough of this bullshit, already” book and is talking about making criminals actually do some time for their crimes:

Dumont says an ADQ government would not allow repeat offenders to get probation and that temporary passes would be given to prisoners only for humanitarian reasons. Dumont unveiled his public security program while campaigning Thursday in Trois-Rivieres.

The ADQ leader also says too many prisoners who belong behind bars are being released for overcrowding and financial reasons.

Dumont cited a report saying that a third of inmates in Quebec’s prisons are repeat offenders who have been jailed at least 10 times.

Ten times, huh?  Well, obviously the hug-a-thug method is only accomplishing two things: Jack and shit.  And Jack didn’t show up.

I’ll admit right off the hop that I don’t really know much about the ADQ’s policies or ideology but if they keep coming up with stuff like this, they might be just what Quebec needs to pull their heads out of their collective derrières and get them on track to being productive partners in confederation.  I can’t believe that I’m actually saying this but… I just might start paying attention to this little horse race.

Why do I have the creepy feeling that the only ones who are going to be surprised at this are the wishy-washy, hug-a-thug, “but they’re just children,” social worker clone, overindulgent doorknobs that thought idiotic legislation like the YCJA was a good idea to begin with?  I remember, back in the ’80s, when scary social conservatives were saying that the YOA would be the thin end of the wedge for juvenile delinquents to run amok.

“If juveniles aren’t forced to face consequences that reflect the seriousness of their actions,” they said, “they’ll just become more and more brazen in defying the law.”  The go-easy-on-the-poor-dears social worker set responded, predictably, as if anyone against lenience towards little criminal bastards was suggesting that the little buggers be flogged in the public square with barbed wire.  But the truth is that without real consequences, juveniles, just like any other criminals, have been having less and less respect for the laws of the land; even flaunting their defiance of it.  The chickens, as it were, have come home to roost:

Sarnia police are looking for help after 150 teens tore apart a home and stole things after a party that got out of control.

And they’re not getting any help from the teens who went wild and then posted pictures of their destruction — pegged in the $10,000 range — on the internet.

[…]

By the time police showed up at 10 p.m. after concerned calls from the host and neighbours, between 100 and 150 young people, aged 13 to 17, had punched holes in the walls of the home and ripped down drywall ceilings.

Can’t say that I didn’t see this coming.  And I’m starting to get tired of being right…

Well now, isn’t this something? I have to admit that I’m taking a little sadistic schadenfreude at the news that some French guy (Quebecois, not of the France variety) is getting the same treatment that Anglophones have been getting in this country for decades. Think about this: how many of you out there have lost, or know someone who’s lost a job because you couldn’t speak French or couldn’t speak it good enough? Well some dude from Quebec has finally gotten a taste of what we’ve been having shoved down our throats for years…

Yup, you guessed it: he got canned for having crappy English…

EDMONTON (Sun Media) – A Quebec ironworker is accusing Suncor of discrimination after he was fired for poor English, but a spokesman for the oil giant says poor communication can be dangerous.

The dismissal prompted a second Quebecer to quit Suncor in protest and has incensed the local ironworkers union, which is demanding Suncor do more to accommodate French-speaking tradesmen.

[…]

“Come work in Alberta, they say. Just not if you speak French – that’s what they mean,” Pelletier said.

Well, guess what, dickweed? Welcome to my world. I’ve lost out on plenty of jobs because my French sucks. And some of those were jobs where the odds of bumping into a French Canuck were about as good as Smirkin’ Jack!’s chances of being PM. And don’t even get me started on the topic of trying to find a job anyplace in Quebec if you’re an Anglophone…

And — just in case you hadn’t noticed, bonehead — YOU’RE IN ALBERTA! The overwhelming majority of the people there speak ENGLISH. Learn it. Anglos get treated like lepers in la belle province, so it’s only fair that you get a dose of your own medicine. If it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander.

Honk, honk, asshole.

That seems to be CAIR‘s message to the organizers and participants of the recently-held first Secular Islam Summit held in St. Petersburg, Florida and ended on Sunday (and liveblogged by the Jawa Report). It seems that CAIR (militant Islam’s North American PR arm) is in a total snit about even the idea of somebody, especially Muslims, debating the merits or lack thereof, of Jihad. So, naturally, they reacted just like you likely guessed they would. As an article at Investors.com puts it:

The Washington-based group that boycotts airlines and bullies radio personalities and politicians into toeing the Islamist line is clearly worried about the message from Muslim reformers.

It dispatched its henchmen to Florida to shout the reformers down at their confab earlier this week. CAIR also posted on its Web site no fewer than four stories bashing the event and its courageous speakers, many of whom are women calling for an end to inequality and mistreatment under radical Islam.

CAIR declared the summit illegitimate because few of the participants are “practicing Muslims,” and those who are, it claims, are merely pawns playing into the hands of “Islamophobes.”

“In order to have legitimate reform, you need to have the right messengers,” asserted CAIR spokesman Ahmed Bedier.

To give some credit where it’s due, the article then wastes no time asking the obvious questions:

And who might that be? The four CAIR executives who have been successfully prosecuted on terrorism-related charges? The CAIR co-founder who said the Quran should replace the U.S. Constitution as “the highest authority in America”?

Standard Islamonutjob reaction procedure step 1: blame da Jooz…

Yes, Bedier argued, but the summit’s “funding is coming from the neoconservatives.” An article posted by CAIR suggests “Israeli intelligence” is behind the movement.

Step 2: play the islamophobia/race card:

“Islamophobia, the fear of Islam, which we fear is the root of events like this has unfortunately become an increasing concern in our society,” said Rabiah Ahmed, council spokeswoman. “It seems to be evolving into an accepted form of racism.”

Step 3: blame Bush:

Just pick a bloody time, already… 🙄

Those who have been paying attention know that the Canadian version of this terrorists’ apologist organization isn’t any better.

As for me, I say hats off to the organizers and participants of the Secular Islam Summit. I’ve never made any bones about taking the seemingly mythical “moderate Muslim majority” to task for its complicity of silence towards Islamofascism. It’s nice, for a change, to see at least some evidence that I just could be wrong…
