A creature of appetite and imprudence as it says in my bio on the side<br /><br />I just watched Sarah Palin's speech and wept.<br /><br />I want to thank America for all you do to keep weaker nations like my own safe from harm. <br /><br />The line has been drawn. <br /><br />With McCain and Palin ride the hopes of the Western world.<br /><br />I have been busy this past while with mundane concerns, but my prayers until November are with America.<br /><br />I'm going to repost something I did back in March, when Hillary! was still in the race for the donks.<br /><br />It was tongue in cheek, but the message was serious.<br /><br />I know a lot of people don't fully square with the cut of McCain's jib, and that's fair.<br /><br />But there's one thing I believe about him: regardless of his stands on other issues, he will keep you alive so that when the time comes to debate nuances of domestic policy where you disagree with him, you will be above ground to do it.<br /><br />God bless America and thank you all.<br /><br /><br /><strong>Dear Caliban,<br /><br />As a conservative Republican, I'm in a quandary. The guy that will probably get the GOP nomination is an insufferable cranky old prick who's so far away from me on most of the issues I really care about that it makes me want to pull my curly hair out by the roots, then move up and pull out the hair on my head.<br /><br />I can't stand the idea of not voting, but I also can't stand the idea of voting for him. I'm thinking of doing something I've never done before and sitting out.<br /><br />WTF?<br /><br />Livid in Louisville</strong><br /><br /><em>Dear Livid,<br /><br />I TOTALLY hear where you're coming from. Remember this though: who is your enemy? <br /><br />In a general election, it can suck that your candidate is a 4 out of 10. But if his opponents are a 2 or even a 1 out of 10 and you don't vote, you vote for them. There are currently about 20 people running for president including Ralph Nader (Ind.) and Cynthia McKinney (Greens- remember her?) and they all get votes, at least from the family members that are still speaking to them.<br /><br />Like I said, it sucks. BUT-you have to ask yourself what the candidates bring to the dance. IF Obama or Clinton win, you'll get buried in red tape from an expanding bureaucracy as you pay the freight for people who don't feel like working. <br /><br />Fact: The border will be bad no matter who wins. This is an election about least expectations and that sucks but that's where it is.<br /><br />You can take this to the bank: Iran is working on getting the Bomb. With the Bush presidency winding down (and for all its faults, he at least scared the fuckers) who will stand up to them? This may be the only relevant long-term question. Protecting the border won't mean Jack if you let Iran get a toehold in, oh, say Venezuela or Nicaragua with their Al-sahab missiles and some heat on the end of them. <br /><br />If Obama or Clinton win, they will abandon Iraq leaving a gaping hole in US security as they focus on domestic entitlements, leaving the Islamic nutjobs to roam free, re-establish bases in the Middle East, and attack America at home yet again. <br /><br />How many more people will die? A discovery of uranium in Colombia recently does not bode well for the future. <br /><br />Obama and Hillary will give you entitlements you might not live to collect. <br /><br />McCain will keep you alive. You can argue with him till the ends of the earth about other things after that, but you have to be breathing to do it. He, at least, gives you your best shot at that, as piss-poor a choice as it is.<br /><br />It sucks, but McCain will crawl over broken glass to keep Americans at home and abroad alive. I wish you had a better choice, but there it is.<br /><br />To paraphrase Churchill:<br /><br />John McCain is the worst candidate for US president in the world, except for all the others.<br /><br />Kisses,<br /><br />Caliban</em>calibanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12405056692495223943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536883523407610173.post-64421945246033122282008-07-28T16:32:00.000-07:002008-07-28T16:50:15.796-07:00ABOUT THAT CIVILIAN NATIONAL SECURITY FORCEOkay, so Obama went to Europe, blah blah blah.<br /><br />Still, if you look at some of the things he's said on the campaign trail and pair them with what his wife has said, against the German backdrop, it does conjour up images.<br /><br />He said:<br /><br /><em>"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded"</em><br /><br />She said:<br /><br /><em>"Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”</em><br /><br />She didn't say if they would use the security force to make this happen, but...<br /><br />Didn't they try that whole require-you-to-work-civilian-security-force thing in Germany a few years back?<br /><br />The Gestapo was originally the Prussian security police and pre-dated the Nazi party. Goehring took it over and went national with it before handing it off to Himmler.<br /><br />I'm not trying to make an overt Nazi comparison, it's just that when you get something that big set up, run by human beings, it's open to abuse. <br /><br />Especially if it's ideologically driven.<br /><br />What began as a run-of-the-mill European security aparatus became, in the hands of someone with broader ambitions, a different entity. <br /><br />The building process of something that pervasive should consider what can happen if it's badly run. Given the habit of government programs to mutate, it's not an unreasonable concern.calibanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12405056692495223943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536883523407610173.post-82582961462478510622008-07-16T16:33:00.000-07:002008-07-16T16:53:10.164-07:00CRAZY TALK NOT SO CRAZY ANYMORE<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_01uLCXjVMnaIy5qjlJZWiakCBNUkwJBlZo_tXHGWh0lv3lJ06qMy4eOKVjf6ZlNVPx5xDf2idGm-NVwwbJfF-HKA-wYrpxC0MUuzJpRoFCEvgIahmnIOLhuWeDfEXiZoOQNqsmcGQvT/s1600-h/Karte_Mars_Schiaparelli_MKL1888.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr_01uLCXjVMnaIy5qjlJZWiakCBNUkwJBlZo_tXHGWh0lv3lJ06qMy4eOKVjf6ZlNVPx5xDf2idGm-NVwwbJfF-HKA-wYrpxC0MUuzJpRoFCEvgIahmnIOLhuWeDfEXiZoOQNqsmcGQvT/s320/Karte_Mars_Schiaparelli_MKL1888.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223760121724174130" /></a><br /><br /><strong><br />Canals on Mars?

It was a hot ticket and a small venue and I didn't expect to get in. The proceedings are being well documented by the National Post's Andrew Coyne (hit the link in the headline for the latest).<br /><br />I went more to see who was there. It was a mixed bag: men and women, young and old, all shapes sizes and hues. <br /><br />At the 10:30 break, like the stateroom scene in the Marx Brothers 'Night at the Opera', the door opened and everyone spilled out into the large corridor. Steyn was in great form- jovial and engaging, signing a few autographs before huddling with his team, while the plaintiffs huddled at a different end of the hallway. Andrew Coyne looked a little weary and if you read his blog about the week, you'll know why.<br /><br />Considering what was at stake, there was remarkably little media present. The MSM has been very slow to pick up on this and I can't for the life of me understand why.<br /><br />Perhaps it's function of their overall state of denial as their familiar world continues to unravel. Local media is among the most somnolent on the issue and may well look back one day and ask themselves 'why didn't we have someone there?'.<br /><br />In a forum where rules of evidence, case law and even truth are not relevant to the proceedings, to let the story slide by unremarked is journalistic malpractice and further enables the cause of the plaintiffs.<br /><br />Across the hall from Courtroom 105, the scene of the tribunal, was an office for a native outreach service with a sign on the door advertising an upcoming 'talking circle'. I don't think it could hold a candle to the circles talked this week in that tiny room.<br /><br />It's so very odd. Canada is a polite, peaceful place where strangers are welcomed and accommodated. Muslims, particularly, have had a very easy ride in the court of public opinion. Mosques are springing up, without a quibble, across the country. In suburban Toronto, a new subdivision 'Peace Village' is being built by and for followers of Islam. All the houses face Mecca and the toilets are aligned to avoid offense. There has been no outcry, nor need there be.<br /><br />In fact, the very existence of the tribunal is evidence that Canadians have enshrined their desire not to offend into this ludicrous law. <br /><br />Yet the self-appointed guardians of Islamic interests scour the landscape looking for fuel to justify their very existence. If you aren't under threat, you don't need guardians.<br /><br />When 9/11 happened, politicians of all stripes rushed to express solidarity with Islamic Canadians in anticipation of a backlash that never came.<br /><br />Radical Muslims in Ontario plotted to blow up parliament and behead the prime minister. Again, dire warnings of a backlash that, again, never came.<br /><br />There was some tut-tutting when the CBC, our left-wing national broadcaster, aired the sitcom 'Little Mosque on the Prairie', but most of the country took it all in stride. <br /><br />Few countries have been as welcoming and accommodating to Muslim immigrants and the vast majority have settled in and got along. Should they be grateful? Perhaps. Those who left homelands behind to find a better life for them and their families probably are. <br /><br />But as radical global Islam flexes its muscles, sinews bulge here as well. <br /><br />Such is the makeup of this unaccountable body that I don't anticipate a victory for the defendants. There are also five Canadian bloggers in line for similar treatment. <br /><br />If this case goes to the plaintiffs, things look grim for the five.<br /><br />And then we are all on trial.calibanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12405056692495223943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3536883523407610173.post-7172461834677265772008-06-05T15:29:00.000-07:002008-06-05T15:38:40.155-07:00BOOB WAR- EARLY EDITIONI'm going to try and drop by the Mark Steyn inquisition tomorrow for the verdict (written before the inquiry began no doubt) so I'm calling Boob War early.
