Hilarious and Pathetic: Canadian Human Rights Museum Soliciting Stories From Canadians About Human Rights
I think I'll submit a story about the provincial and federal Human Rights Commissions, and how they strip Canadians of their freedoms, terrorize innocent people financially, how they go to bat for sharia, ostracize and torment Christians for their beliefs, punish people for thought crimes and future crimes and have more powers than some Soviet-bloc states could have possibly salivated over. How about a story like that?
"Knowledge of the evolution of human rights in Canada is essential in order to better understand both our failures and our successes," stated Mr. Yude Henteleff, C.M., Q.C., LL.D. (Hon) Chair of the Content Advisory Committee. "In turn this will, hopefully, lead us to overcome the forces of discrimination, oppression and inequality. The input we will be receiving from CAC's sessions across Canada over the next 12 months will tell the Museum how and what it must share in order to achieve those objectives."Why don't we all "Help Write the Story"?
UPDATE: Why are they wasting money on this, if they already have a multi-million dollar shortfall?

Obama "Resurrects" Military Comissions for Terror Suspects
Let Me Tell You About My Evening
Last night, driving home I spoke to a friend whose husband-out of the blue-had a stroke. He's alive and fully aware, but there are some serious issues-partial paralysis and some other dreadful things. He is a non-smoker, was fit, not overweight and had no family history. On the same conversation, she told me that her father is at a different hospital dying from kidney cancer.
I walked in the door and the fish for the dinner I had planned hadn't defrosted, so I scrambled to put something together based on last night's leftovers.About 20 minutes into dinner I get a call from a parent of one of my kid's friends. We have to organize rides to and from an event. This Momzilla keeps me on the phone for almost 15 minutes telling me about the history of the carpools, the politics of the carpools, and about her car having 7 seats but your car only has 5 seats, blah blah blah.
While I'm STILL, Lord Have Mercy, on the phone listening to brain-numbing non-stop screeds about carpool, wanting the earth to swallow me up whole, another kid screams that there is poo in his SpongeBob underware (thank goodness it wasn't the Diego ones) and that he didn't make it to the bathroom on time. While I'm on the phone and my brain starts hurting, scooping up sh&t-literally, the door bell rings and it's the pharmacy is delivering a prescription for another kid.Meanwhile, the dishwasher hasn't been unloaded from the night before, the dinner dishes are still on the table and I have to unload the dishwasher before I can clean up the dinner mess.Have you ever had evening such as these? These wonderful scenes of domestic bliss. I have them all the time. And while I have my moments of total madness, they make me feel blessed. I'm so happy I'm not that person in the hospital, and that I'm not the carpool obsessed parent. I'm just me-happy with my lot and blessed to be busy as always.Britain Takes Tough Stance on Anti-Troop Muslim Demostraters

Chesler: The High Cost of Western Idealism
This is another article in her ongoing series about real violence against women, and the way the left just ignores it, preferring to have their la-la-la I can't hear you attitude about such things as "honour" murders and misogyny in Islam and female genital mutilation (the quaint "female circumcision" in politically correct speak).
Now the barbarians have a relatively new tactic to control and maim their women-using acid to disfigure women and girls, in the hopes of not just terrorizing them but to make sure that few men would ever take them as wives.
Read it all and remember that it's happening everywhere-not just in disgusting, barren crappola countries run by Arabian thugs, and not just in Eurabia-but in North America, too.My Idiot People

"Hatecrime" Numbers Down in Canada, Minority Greivance Theatre Industry Mourns
Plus: In both 2006 and 2007, mischief offences, such as acts of graffiti on public property, accounted for about half of all police-reported incidents of hate crime. Overall, 3 in 10 hate crimes involved violence, usually minor assault or uttering threats, in which the victim suffered little or no physical harm.One-third (32%) of persons accused of committing a hate-motivated crime in 2007 were youth 12 to 17 years of age. This was almost double the proportion of youth accused of committing crimes in general (17%).
In other words, throughout the entire country, the entire "I'm offended/I'm being persecuted" community is most often being 'offended' and 'persecuted' by graffiti, which is most likely being scribbled by teenagers. What a load of hooey.MSM Silent As American Thought Crime Bill Goes Forward

Vaclav Havel: A Table for Tyrants
Vaclav Havel rips the UN a new one.
Worth clicking on The New York Times web site for this piece, which encourages democracies to actually care who is on the UN's Human Rights Council. I guess we should care, but my first preference would actually be to rip down the UN and replace it with a new UDN. United Democratic Nations. The UN is a pathetic, anti-Western hellhole on prime NYC real estate that only serves to further the diplomatic careers of rancid diplomats from dictatorships, Manhattan prostitutes and NYC parking ticket coffers (when countries occassionally pay up).Why should any democracy pay the bill for representatives of ass-backward tinpot dictators from Crapistan, Thugistan and Kleptostan to have the best time of their miserable, repressive lives in Manhattan, and the first (and usually only) democratic votes of their lives?

Dennis Prager: Why "Transform" America?
Dennis has been churning them out for a long time, and is also an excellent radio host. I think he's a really smart guy. This piece examines the desire by the left to "transform" America and has a little nugget that I quite like-and may have to "liberate" at some point.
"Many years ago, the prominent Jewish writer, my friend since childhood, Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, helped to clarify -- in a non-partisan way -- a major difference between liberals and conservatives. "Conservatives," he said, "romanticize the past; liberals romanticize the future." "In light of those frequently made criticisms of America, I have often asked representatives of the left why they criticize America so much if they love it so much. "Precisely because we love America, we criticize it. You criticize that which you love," is the nearly universal response.But, of course, it isn't true. If you constantly criticize your spouse, for example, it is difficult to imagine that you really do love him or her. And perhaps more important, it is very unlikely that your spouse feels loved. That is why after being routinely described as racist, sexist, imperialist, etc., it is difficult to be able to tell that America is loved by the left.""This is not written in order to indict the left, let alone the president, for not loving America. No one can measure an other's feelings. Furthermore I do not question the sincerity of anyone who says he loves America. What I question are the actions and rhetoric of those who claim to love America yet want to transform and remake it."

Obamessiah Asks Germany to Take In Gitmo Prisoners, Germany Not So Excited About That
"The German interior ministry said Sunday it had received a request to take in Guantanamo prisoners, but did not give their identities or their number. German News weekly Der Spiegel reported Monday that Washington handed Berlin a list of "nearly 10" prisoners, though Germany's interior ministry declined to confirm the figure.The southern German city of Munich has the largest community of Uighur exiles in the world, with about 500 of the Turkic-origin Muslim peoples living there. Most of the 17 Uighurs held at the controversial jail were cleared more than four years ago of being "enemy combatants." They were living in a self-contained camp in Afghanistan when the US-led bombing campaign began in October 2001 as part of the military campaign in response to the September 11 attacks."
"Officials in Germany have said a decision about whether or not to take the detainees rests largely with the individual German federal states, which so far have shown little enthusiasm for doing so, out of fear of potential acts of terror. "We have no interest exposing ourselves to additional risk," said Holger Hoevelmann, interior minister of Saxony-Anhalt, one of Germany's 16 states, speaking to the Frankfurter Rundschau daily newspaper.Lieberman-DA!

It's a gift and thank you Sean Stephenson for being you.
"He s quick to credit his parents, Gregg and Gloria Stephenson, who live with him in Oak Brook, and his sister, Heidi, with developing his inner strength. Apart from that fateful Halloween lesson and the daily, physical support they give their son, the Stephensons emphasized a few basics: They made him focus on what he can do and dismiss what he cannot. They used an egg-timer to contain his episodes of self-pity to 15 minutes a day. During his frequent bouts of pain, they would ask him to visualize pleasant memories. And they refused to hide him."You decide to face the music," his mom said. "He was a child first. The OI and the wheelchair come next."Added his dad: "We tried to instill a lot of positive things in his life, but he took it and ran with that. It all comes down to what someone does with what they have."Civilization Ends: Australia-Gay Sex Education Book for Two Year Olds
This is the title of a new sex ed book in Australia that explains to toddlers about how Mommy and Mom used a sperm donor and a turkey baster to make little Timmy or Jane, but that all that really matters is that Mommy and Mom love you very much and Daddies are redundant, silly billy. >"The controversial publication, Where Did I Really Come From?, also features a drawing of two gay men holding a baby in a chapter about surrogacy. The publisher insists that the book, which includes in-depth descriptions of sexual intercourse, is suitable to be read to two-year-olds.
This is totally wrong. Sexual content-whether homosexual or heterosexual is inappropriate for toddlers. Period.
Ezra Levant in Reason.com: The Internet Saved My Tongue
"Had I been charged with hate speech 10 years ago, I could not have fought back as effectively. If all this had happened in 1996 instead of 2006, few would have known anything about my battle. YouTube, which brought my story alive for 600,000 people by the time the traffic died down, debuted only in 2005. Before that, there was no universally surfed repository of current event–themed videos, and bloggers were much less prevalent. And without the credit card donations made possible by PayPal (which was started in 2000), it’s unlikely that I could have raised the money to cover my legal expenses.
"In short, the Internet saved me. In that sense, my story isn’t just about free speech. It’s also about the way new technology has leveled the playing field between big government and private citizens. ""The Internet may also spell the beginning of the end for the HRCs of the world
. In the days after my meeting with McGovern, I began to blog about human rights commissions and free speech, encouraged by my worldwide support. EzraLevant.com became one of the five most popular political blogs in Canada, according to the statistics on Alexa.com. The Internet support, which soon crossed over into the mainstream media, reassured me that I was the “normal” one—that free speech was normal, that resisting government nosiness was normal—and that it was the HRCs and the Syed Soharwardys who were affronts to our Western values".How Churchill Dealt With Thugs
"Apparently, Obama got his new, sunny view of Churchill not from reading the Churchill biography that Prime Minster Gordon Brown gave him last month but from Andrew Sullivan's blog. Maybe we should be grateful to Sullivan and Obama for their confusion, however, because Churchill's actual position on what is morally permitted against a nation's enemies illuminates much more about the relationship between torture and civilization than their fictitious version."

From the enthusiastic Toronto Star, the understatement of the article:

Does your company have a "multi-faith" prayer space? Mine does, but guess what? Only Muslims use it. There can't be any Christian iconography or photographs because that offends, there has to be carpets and people are encouraged to take their shoes off before entering. Gee-that sounds like a mosque to me.Mr. Prayer Space also notes suggests that" accommodating different faiths is a key part of Canadian multiculturalism". It may well be our undoing, too.

Michael Oren is going to be the new Israeli Ambassador to the United States. He's a writer and historian and handles himself very well in the media.
Personally, I thought his book on the Six Day War was very boring and unreadable. However, his book Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East1776 to the Present is absolutely amazing. You won't want to put it down. It gives all kinds of wonderful historic tid bits about American involvement in the Middle East-and insights about America's previously clear view of the world jihad, now muddled in Saudi oil and appeasement monkeys. It's a must read.Today's Dumbest Idea From Wackademia
Chesler: Women's Inhumanity To Women, Jihadic Style
"In an interview with Dr. Anat Berko, the author of The Path to Paradise. The Inner World of Suicide Bombers and Their Dispatchers, she pointed out that there is “always a woman” behind the female suicide bomber, who functions like a “pimp or a Madam in a brothel.” Potential women suicide bombers are never alone again, they are always accompanied by at least one, usually older woman, who encourages, manipulates, guards, and supports the potential shaheeda–just like a mother might do.
In a culture in which girls are raised by women whose own mothers did not value them as they did boys, women may hunger for attention from an older woman–even one whose sole purpose is to ensure their jihadic death.In Dr. Berko’s book, there is a frightening example of how all the jailed, intercepted Palestinian female suicide bombers obeyed and respected one of their own: a woman who was the harshest, angriest, most mentally ill amongst them. Sadly, perhaps this most reminded them of their own mothers. "

Journalism is the Real Jihad.
This is a very interesting comment piece from The Guardian. Normally, I can't read anything in Al-Guardian because of its nauseating anti-Israel and anti-American slant. However, this piece is really worth reading. It's a testimony to the incredible success that America (and it's partners) have had in Iraq. No, Iraq isn't perfect, but it's sure as hell better off than when Saddam & Sons ran the show.
The piece is not a direct shout-out "congratulations" to America, but one cannot read a comment such as this without feeling a true sense of amazement at what America-under George Bush's leadership-has achieved in Iraq in such a very short time.Glorious Andalusia Gives Green Light to War Crimes Probe Against Israel

Good News: Antisemitic Play to Be Staged in Montreal
So, an antisemitic play is going to make its Canadian premiere in Montreal. I think Montreal is a great place for it. There is a substanial Lebanese, Hizballah-loving crowd in that lovely city and Montreal has also been very European about its immigration policy (read: Muslim).
Anyway, I can't get too excited about this play and its disgusting Jews-are the new Nazis content. It's just another tired, fruitless way of trying to stick it to the Jews and Israel.If some sloppy, trite, play is the best weapon these Jew-haters have at their disposal, I say we're winning the battle. Israel just celebrated its 61st year, and its not going away. It drives the Jew-haters crazy that we refuse, individually or collectively to just die already. So let them fester in their swill, whether theatre, politics, NGO or the UN.
We're here, we're Jews and we have no plans for mass suicide to please you. Jew-haters of the world: you'll just have to learn to live with that.

Book Review: Lights Outs-Islam, Free Speech and the Twilight of the West by Mark Steyn
So I just finished reading Mark Steyn’s Lights Out: Islam, Free Speech and the Twilight of the West. Reading anything by Steyn is the second most fun you can have by yourself. This book is essential reading for the Islamophobic, hatemongering Westerner among us-but more importantly for those who think otherwise. If you have even the slightest concern about free speech, the sharia creep into our society and the West’s increasingly stealth suicide march off a caliphate cliff, you need to read this book.
Judeo
-Christian culturecide is a terrible thing to witness, and as Steyn notes, few in the West seem to be bothered or even aware that they are experiencing it in real time.My favourite essay in the collection is The Bombay Massacres: Who’s vulnerable? It’s simply a masterpiece and shows that while the leftist-jihadist collective can fool much of the world with its propaganda, there are righteous and courageous individuals like Mark Steyn who call it like it is. In my second favourite essay, Gaza West, he aptly describes the Palestinian “culture” (and “Islamist” culture by extension) as one that’s chief success is “marinating their infants in a sick death cult in which martyrdom in the course of Jew-killing is the greatest goal to which a citizen can aspire”. Have you ever heard it put better than that?
There are those who have given their lives protecting our freedom (a number of striking examples are given in the book), and Steyn says that the least he can do is stand up to the bullying and Jew-hating creeps such as Mohammad Elmasry and the various monstrosities known as Ontario and Canadian Human Rights Commissions. He rightly notes that currently, “Jew-hating isn’t the problem, only certain types of Jew-haters…The Fuhrer isn’t coming out of retirement and, even if he does, there aren’t enough Jews left in Europe to man a decent genocide". Then he spells it out: what other than Hitler is our society prepared to make a moral judgement over? “Where,” he asks, “is our ideological offensive”. Good question.
There are lots of laughs and insights and the usual, predictable collection of fantastic turns of phrase that only Steyn could invent. I wonder if he ever sits in his own living room, in all his hateful glory, rubbing his hands together saying: damn-that was funny. But, I digress.....The main message is that this battle is about left and right, it’s about “free/not free” and is a call to action. We all need to do something, and that’s why I’m in the ring, too. I have to be able to look my kids in the eye when they ask me: Mommy-you knew what was happening, so what did you do about it?
