It is only a matter of time before the American people elect a President and Congress that will bring Alberta-style Human Rights Commissions to America, UNLESS Patriots wake up, and wake the people up, and roll back Political Correctness.

It may be too late. We may be doomed. Do we resign ourselves to our fate, or resolve to take as many of those SOB's down with us as we can?

Now remember, things look bad and it looks like you're not gonna make it, then you gotta get mean. I mean plumb, mad-dog mean. 'Cause if you lose your head and you give up then you neither live nor win. That's just the way it is.

It has created legions of disengaged, apathetic hedonists who wouldn't read...

Created from our kids from the moment they can watch Sesame Street, that TV is their friend, it is there to amuse us, and unless we are entertained, its not worth exploration. The TV mindset has changed our entire culture. Too many "people" are convinced they are informed enough to vote because they've watched TV "news".

In 1986 some friends in Calgary, Alberta invited me to dinner while I was there for a business trip.

One of the subjects of conversation concerned the high number of Third World Muslim immigrants that were being brought into the province.

My friends had great concern about how Canada as a whole was changing and becoming more liberal and less tolerant of individuals.

Canadians laid down with the dregs of the world and are now reaping the lethal windfall of that mistake.

Coming soon to an American city near you.

The sad part of all is that the GOP, once a conservative party....echoes the same censorship ideas

We saw this with the illegal alien debate, when pro-illegal GOPers like Trent Lott was calling for the Fairness Doctrine because they could not get public support for illegal alien amnesty

Amd we are making more mistakes. With Amnesty Senator John McCain getting support again for his Presidential run...we are sure to get a huge dose of censorship and illegal alienism if he were to become President

Wow that is a sobering piece of writing.

I got a mailing the other day advertising an appearance by Senators Lott, Kyl, and Lindsay Graham in support of McCain. I can only hope that Graham is disliked enough here in SC that his support won’t do McCain much, if any, good.

More than a race here. Political Correctness is the totalitarian fist, hiding in a velvet glove.

And yes, we ARE losing.

So many - too many, numb or just otherwise oblivious here to the totlitarian realities so contained in this euphimism.

This is our first and worst enemy - the one that destroys from within.

The GOP has been suicidal for a long time. Ted Kennedy’s destructive 1965 Immigration Act passed with broad GOP support. In the Senate, only two Republicans voted against it after GOP leader Everett Dirksen gave one of his nonsensical lectures about how Republicans would appear “racist” if they opposed the bill.

Amusing Ourselves To Death.

Lest we forget. . .football is now it's own religion; and the obsession with sports realities is part of this mix.

I am 'sport's loving; but can see how it now manifests as a 'replacement value' for so many. (Thanks as well here to our schools recognizing, celebrating. . .rewarding it's athletes; while ignoring or offering little more than 'lip service' to academic acheivement.

( The 'sports hero' still celebrated; the 'Valedictorian' is on the endangered list' (the competition of games versus the elimination of academic competition. . .et al; ad nauseum.)

Perhaps it’s time to seriously consider Dr. Walter Williams (Rush’s occasional fill in) proposal in his 2000 opinion paper “It’s time to part company”. I just don’t see any other fix with the millions of baby boomer's entering retirement with nothing better to do than vote themselves power and access to the treasury. We’d better get ahead of this when there are still enough critical thinkers left to “part company”

In 2006, pundit Michelle Malkin's mini-movie "First, They Came"-- it showcases victims of Islamic violence -- was deleted by YouTube after being "flagged" as inappropriate. Malkin isn't alone, either, as other anti-Islamism crusaders have not only had videos pulled, but accounts suspended as well.

And at the same time, YouTube has no problem hosting Islamist videos with anti-American content until cyber-guerillas take them to task. No doubt who's side they're on.

After the Unions in Nevada sued to stop the Culinary Union from caucusing in the Casinos and Hotels Clinton wants to be known as the fair and square candidate.

I tell you that liberals are not only not fair they are also racists and will do what ever it takes in their Godless world to achieve their ends at any costs.

The GOP has some of the same problems but are mostly relegated to the RINO side of the party.

My personal opinion of Trentless Lott was that he had to squat to pee.

His whole personality seemed like it was like sweet molasses.

I am personally glad that he is gone and will be more glad when that lying and cheating Hilarius bites the dust.

I agree.

The cult of personality-and celebrity-has consumed our naton's psyche.

Postman's warnings seem prescient today, especially as you see large segments of the public moving towards nonliterate status.

“Two Canadian “Human Rights Commissions” are investigating columnist Mark Steyn and the country’s bestselling news magazine, Macleans, because it published an excerpt from Steyn’s book containing criticism of Islam.”

Well may be these two Canadian “Human Rights Commissions” are willing to investigate the late Winston Churchill. His thoughts on Islam are still true today.

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

“Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
