Welcome, boys and girls, to my 501st post! 😀 How the hell did it ever get to this point?? 😕

Well, the upgrade to the software seems to have gone okay so far, so I’m going to get on with blabbing about what’s on my melon today: HLCs … again. If you’re one of those dimwits that is still having trouble figuring out why these things need to be gotten rid of, you really should read Lorne Gunter’s column in the Edmonton Journal today:

All you need to know about how rotten the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) is — how undemocratic and anti-freedom it has become — is that in hate-speech complaints, the commission has a 100-per-cent conviction rate.

No one who has ever been hauled before it for allegedly uttering hate speech has ever been acquitted.

[…]

You can see this in the words of lead CHRC investigator Dean Steacy. Asked by Lemire’s lawyer, Beverley Kulaszka: “What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate one of these complaints?” Steacy replied, “Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don’t give it any value. It’s not my job to give value to an American concept.” Pardon me? Freedom of speech is entrenched in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And, of course, we inherited hundreds of years of English constitutional protection of free expression before that.

It gets a lot better than that. Read the whole thing here.

Meanwhile, even the Ministry Of What You Should Think has finally figured out that they can neither ignore this nor sweep it under the rug. CBC Sunday did themselves a mini-documentary on the out-of-control HLCs today (although, as you can imagine, it tries to put that typical CBC gloss over the ugliness of this Leftist farce). Grab a coffee and check out the vid (it’s about 15mins or so long): (more…)

And here I just got done updating this bloody thing…

Well, it looks like the latest and greatest for the site software has arrived. Normally, I wait for a while before I update software; I believe in letting other people find the bothersome bugs. It’s a little habit that I picked up after beta testing the original Windoze95. 😯

This update, though, just has too damned many bells and whistles that I actually want (most of ’em are on the backend, so you folks probably won’t notice much of a change but I sure as heck will), so I’m gonna hold my nose and take the plunge.

Aside from that, it’s the usual: site might be down for a bit, sorry for the inconvenience, etc…  you know the drill.

Wish me luck…

…is definitely good for the gander. 😀

I knew there was a reason why I liked this gal; every now and then she manages to come up with something that just plain gets my laughing my dingleberries right off. Hey, if Babs can dish it out, she should be able to take it too; don’t you think?

Now I’m going to have to send this to all my friends in the ‘States…

Well now, that didn’t take too long, did it? As predictably as the tides, the goons of the Religion of Pieces® went into full gonna-chop-me-off-some-heads-for-Mohamed-(pbuh) mode and did the only thing they’ve ever shown any talent at all for. Less than two full days after it was posted on LiveLeak, the Geert Wilders short film, “Fitna” has been removed from the site following threats “of a very serious nature” to LiveLeak staff (its page over at Wikipedia is also getting edited at a frenzied pace; I wouldn’t be surprised if it got locked soon).

The Hague – The anti-Qur’an film Fitna made by Dutch MP Geert Wilders has once again been removed from LiveLeak, the British website where it was being shown. In its place is an official statement by the website saying the film was removed because of very serious threats to staff. The statement speaks of a sad day for freedom of speech but insists that the safety of the website’s staff has to come first.

Those trying to access the video are now met with LiveLeak’s official response in regard to the matter:

Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.

Chalking one up for medieval murderous thugs and their gutless apologists, are we? Not God damned yet, we aren’t. If these Islamic assholes think they’ve somehow managed to put a lid on this thing, they’re even crazier than I thought they were (and that’s pretty nucking futs).

This thing is out there and the genie’s damned well not going back into the bottle. And now that you’ve managed to work your usual magic of murderous intimidation, even more people are going to want to see it to find out what the hell all the fuss is over.  Here’s a list of some of the places where you can still download the video and see it for yourself:

AJM (dedicated server — very fast)
Bivouac-ID (French subtitles)
Czech Infidel (Czech subtitles)
Daily Motion (flagged as inappropriate — must register to see it)
Google video
Isohunt (links to torrent sites)
Rapid Share (flv format)
Rapid Share (wmv format)
The Pirate Bay (bit torrent)

If none of those work, just click here and download it from my server (about 35MB in .wmv format for now) to keep on your hard drive.  Here’s a torrent link, if that’s more your style.  And as soon as I can find it in a format that’ll embed good here, I’ll be doing that too.

These assholes are about to get a lesson in viral marketing…

Well, it’s out there now. And yes, I have no doubt whatsoever that the assorted jihadiots around the globe are even now preparing their collective hissy fit over it. Well, tough titty; it’s out there and, like those cartoons that you got your panties all in a knot over, it’s not going to uninvent itself.

In spite of the fact that nobody wanted to show it (likely afraid that they’d end up on one of Islam’s Funniest Home Beheadings®), Geert Wilders has managed to release his work, Fitna, into that great untamed frontier of the information age. That would be the internet, of course. And, as Paul over at Celestial Junk put it, all the apeshit stunts aren’t going to have quite the desired effect…

And now, more people … millions more … will see Fitna than would’ve seen it had the barbarians and their “progressive” appeasers just simply kept their damned mouths shut.

Pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? Here’s the flick:

Not a lot of time for shooting my mouth off right now, I’m afraid. Not that that’s likely to shut me up, of course. 😉

I stumbled over a thread over at CGN the other day that brought to mind an argument that I got into with one of those anti-gun lamebrains. You know the kind of bonehead I’m talking about: “guns are the problem; less guns and more laws will fix everything.” Trust in Big Nanny®. Big Nanny® will take care of everything for you; you don’t need to look after yourself.

Yeah, those idiots. I, on the other hand, am one of those ones that believes that the solution isn’t less guns, it’s more guns… and give ’em to the right people.

So, since I’m too damned lazy to put up a whole post right now, here’s a few vids to watch and think about.

Yup, “gun-free zones” will solve it for ya.

Home invasion: no gun (no embedding for some reason?)…
