Headed south to slay the dragon...

Well.... headed south... Goodbye Alberta... for now... don't know how its all gonna work out, but I'm sure its gonna be just fine. Doesn't mean I'm going to be stopping fighting the good fight, but it certainly has been a busy time wrapping everything up, and squeezing everything I own into one car. I look at it as kind of a cleansing period... shaking off the Stelmach socialism, and heading into the Obamamesiah socialism.

All I got to say is "What the hell!" ... I spent all my life putting up with socialist crap here, so I'm kind of used to being stepped on, and there ain't nothing America can throw at me that I haven't already experienced. All that aside, I'm going to be with someone who is very special, so nothing else matters... :-)

We've only been active since 1905...

What else can you say about a federation that just does not, and never will, work?.. Canada is just to large to try and maintain all power at the center, while totally neglecting the concerns of the regions.

The banana republic ... still active.... still searching for a solution... When the solution is right in front of their face.... INDEPENDENCE!

Note to self... Stelmach is a friggen LIEberal... always has been, and always will be....

Me and the boys think you should take the deal...

Yesterday (May 1) on Detroit’s Frank Beckman’s morning talk show (WJR), bankruptcy attorney Tom Lauria made the incendiary accusation that the members of the White House had threatened to use the “the full force of the White House Press Corps to destroy” his client’s reputation if it didn’t acquiesce to highly unfavorable terms of the government’s proposed Chrysler restructuring plan. Because of the strongarm tactics, Lauria’s client dropped its opposition.

Sounds like the MOB has been elected to the Whitehouse.... One Big Assed Mistake America...

Slow down the prompter...

Lunatics HAVE taken over the asylum.

In spite of the spectacular failure of Dr. Serreze’s widely quoted prediction, there were no retractions, no apologies for misleading the public, no admissions of error, and inaccurate stories like the one above are still in place. So what could possibly be worse news from NSIDC?

The very man who made that ridiculous statement of “an ice free north pole in 2008″ is set to become the “incoming director” of NSIDC. Apparently alarmism pays, especially if you get press.

All these flakes have obviously not been anywhere near the North pole. It was NOT ice free in 2008, will NOT be ice free in 2009, and will NOT be open in 2010, or 2011. When are they gonna get it thru their heads that it has almost nothing to do with man. In fact, if I was a betting man, I'd be putting my money on warmer clothing, and more fuel to burn. We're all gonna need it.

Danger Will Robinson...

The fundamental goal of environmentalism is not clean air and clean water; rather, it is the demolition of technological/industrial civilization. Environmentalism's goal is not the advancement of human health, human happiness, and human life; rather, it is a subhuman world where "nature" is worshipped like the totem of some primitive religion.

In a nation founded on the pioneer spirit, environmentalists have made "development" an evil word. They inhibit or prohibit the development of Alaskan oil, offshore drilling, nuclear power – and every other practical form of energy. Housing, commerce, and jobs are sacrificed to spotted owls and snail darters. Medical research is sacrificed to the "rights" of mice. Logging is sacrificed to the "rights" of trees. No instance of the progress that brought man out of the cave is safe from the onslaught of those "protecting" the environment from man, whom they consider a rapist and despoiler by his very essence.

When are all these old hippies, socialists, and tree huggers gonna die off? ... Probably not until we're all forced to live under a tree, and anarchy reins supreme...

Oppressive and fascist governments take advantage of the situation, by hijacking the enviro agenda, using it to expand government control, and it doesn't seem to have any effect. The general population obviously enjoys their apathetic slumber, or they would be calling, mailing, emailing, and faxing their representatives, and telling them to stop this bull$hitt before it reaches the point of civil unrest....... But... that must be the point we have to reach, before we learn our lesson..... again...

Prepare to pay....

What on Earth is going on in Washington? The public believes less and less that human beings are responsible for global warming, surface temperature shows no net change in over a decade, and there’s still a bill about to be debated in the House that will require the average American in 2050 to have a “carbon footprint” no larger than it was for the average American in 1867.

Yup... gonna pay for everything related to carbon. Power, fuel, all goods and services requiring energy to produce, even tapping into, and controlling your thermostat. Its been said that he who controls carbon controls the world... well guess what..... The agenda is socialism, and its your own governments. The lower class will not be moved up, its only the upper class that moves down, controlled by the elite of course. Wars have started for less....

Changing of the Guard...

Paul Hinman is stepping down as leader of Alberta’s Wildrose Alliance after losing the party’s only seat in the legislature in last year’s election.

Hinman says it’s time to step aside and allow someone with more charisma to take over the right-wing party — but he won’t say if the Wildrose-Alliance has found such a person.

They really need a leader that is gonna demand attention, knows history, and can get in everyones face. I can think of one Alan Clark that seems something like that... LOL

Notice how the article has the utlimate bias tag "right-wing party". You can sure tell where all the medias loyalties lie... You don't read Progressive Conservative right-wing party, because its now just another LIEberal party.

What did you expect from LIEberals...

This is possibly the most dreadful piece of legislation to be put before Congress in the history of the nation. It is the deliberate reordering of American society because without adequate energy, the economy will implode and the lifestyles that Americans take for granted, all based on affordable electricity and fuel for transportation will cease to exist.

It is based entirely on the “global warming” lie. It is based entirely on the lie that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the driving force behind “climate change.”

Clean jobs are just one more of the endless lies that Greens tell in order to put an end to America’s capacity to compete in the global marketplace.

This is going to get very interesting when Americans see their power bills rise by over $1000.00 dollars per year, and fuel rise up to $5.00 a gallon, not to mention inflation, coupled with congresses attempt to silence all opposition under a revised "Fairness Doctrine" name.

The LIEberal elite could very well do themselves in for all time. Gonna be some mighty strong tea being served up.... are you listening Harper?

Have a nice day!

Don't breath... you'll be taxed..

The Environmental Protection Agency issued a proposal today finding greenhouse gas emissions pose a danger to the public's health and welfare, a determination that could trigger a series of sweeping regulations affecting everything from vehicles to coal-fired power plants.

Leftist bastards.... taxing on a discredited theory, that has since been proven wrong, and the Canukastan Government is no better. I think we all should just go on welfare, and drive them under.... Atlas Shrugged, coming home to roost.

Just sittin here dumpin tea...

The General Welfare Clause is NOT a free pass for the federal government to hold sway over anything that enters its eyesight. The founders were very specific about this:

- Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated. - Thomas Jefferson

- The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined . . . to be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce.” - James Madison

- With respect to the two words ‘ general welfare,’ I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators. – James Madison

Tomorrow is the big day, and time for Americans to take a stand, after making One Big Assed Mistake America. One can only hope that its big enough, which it seems to be, that the politicians will be forced to stand up and pay attention. On the page linked above, watch the video at the bottom, if you haven't seen it.

Yup... I've been scarce, my apologies, but for a lot of good reasons. LP, and I, have been very busy with a lot of things, and now we're in hurry up and wait mode. Hopefully I'll be able to get back into this on a regular basis.

9 Million PC's infected...

January 16, 2009 (Computerworld) Calling the scope of the attack "amazing," security researchers at F-Secure Corp. today said that 6.5 million Windows PCs have been infected by the "Downadup" worm in the last four days, and that nearly 9 million have been compromised in just over two weeks.

Early Friday, the Finnish firm revised its estimate of the number of computers that had fallen victim to the worm, and explained how it came to the figure. "The number of Downadup infections [is] skyrocketing," Toni Koivunen, an F-Secure researcher, said in an entry to the company's Security Lab blog. "From an estimated 2.4 million infected machines to over 8.9 million during the last four days. That's just amazing."

Sure would be nice if these people would fix their damn computers to take the load off my systems.... it might even give me some time to put up a few more posts...

Save the trees and kill the children...

Thanks LP....In a lot of ways ... we are asleep...

Al Gore sued by over 30,000 Scientists for fraud...

Heh!.. We knew it would come around some day.....

Reflections

Making this move, and talking to LP has caused me to reflect on what I might miss after leaving the country.

Will I miss leaving the province with the biggest spending budget in the history of the nation, the people that call themselves conservatives, but are totally LIEberal...... Nope

Will I also miss the stupidity, and greed, of a provincial government that raises royalties on a natural resource and chases an industry away because of their out of control spending habits... Nope

Will I miss a city with a totally useless city council that spends 93 million on an art museum, that only the elite can visit, and then raises taxes by 93 million, using the roads as an excuse.... Nope

Will I miss the approx. 2.64 US price per gallon, currently, and go to about 1.40 US per gallon pricing due to HUGE taxes on fuel, and taxes on the taxes...... Nope

Will I miss the loooooong winters with -40 F temps, going to a place that might get down to 0 F the odd time... definitely nope...

Will I miss every major road closed in the summer for frost repair... Nope...(h/t Tim)

Will I miss a country with vast regional differences, and needs, that never worked from day one due to using an antiquated political system that was built for a small island, and imposed on a huge country with expansive regions.... Nope

Will I miss a complete change of lifestyle from one that encourages a nanny state attitude to one were you have the opportunity to excel thru hard work, which even includes property rights.... Nope

Will I miss my family.... slightly, but with today's video conferencing, no charge long distance, and 5 hour jet rides... it's not as bad as what it appears to be.

Note: For all those that listen to MSM and believe that some kind of perceived recession is going to have a dramatic affect. The recession is in your own mind. You make it work if you want to, or you sit there and become a statistic. I lived thru NEP, and didn't do so sitting on my ass.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Everyone....

Sorry for being so scarce, but a lot of things, and I mean a LOT of things have been happening, both on a business, and personal front. I've even been working today, of all days... :-(

On the business front, we've been doing a lot of consolidation over the past couple months, to enable us to preform a big move. Were finally done, with the final part completed yesterday, and a bit of problem solving today, but with extreme planing, it was very successful.

Now...... on to the personal front..... Sycorax, you aren't that far off... LOL

Lone Pony and I are now engaged, with the wedding to take place somewhere around June/July. Obviously, with the cross border situation, there is a few more details that have to be worked out, and NO, we won't be living in Alberta for a lot more reasons besides the cold... LOL .. my type of business can be run from anywhere in the world, and her and I got a growing thing goin on... ;-)

Anyway.... that's an update on the situation. Hope y'all had a good Christmas, and a very Happy New Year... I'll try to get back into this as soon as I can... :-)

Global Warming Crisis - CANCELLED

More info...

Typical LIEberals... Dem's sink the economy and blame the Republicans...

Friggen LIEberals on both sides of the border are thieves..

You know your older when...

Your son comes up to you and says.."Say hello to your Grandson" ...

Granny and I are very proud... and we will do everything in our power to make sure he doesn't grow up to be a LIEberal...

Finally...

Steven Harper says he wants to end the practise of giving House Arrest to those who commit violent and other crimes such as drunk driving causing death, home invasion, arson and kidnapping.

Speaking in Saskatoon, Harper used a local example of why conditional sentences don't work.

"In Saskatchewan, nearly 40% of criminals sentenced to house arrest were sent back to jail for breaching their conditions." Harper said.(emphasis mine)

Its about time they stop Hug-A-Thug bullshit. It just doesn't work. Make the damn prison so they don't ever want to go back, complete with pink clothing for all the prisoners. Maybe these politicians need a few lessons from a successful Sheriff. You certainly can't trust LIEberals to deal with it, when they're part of the problem.

The Free Health Care Obama wants for America..

The PRIDE of the LIEberals and NDP! ...

Obama was playing with his Fannie...

More...

And....

But this is not the half of it. Barack Obama received the second largest amount from the mortgage companies of any member of Congress, second only to Christopher Dodd (the guy with the special rates). Obama received $126,349 of which $6000 was PAC money. The balance came from individuals. By contrast, John McCain received $21,550, all of it from individuals. Keep in mind, this list is from 1989-2008. Obama has only been in office since 2004.

I guess the mother of all community organizers can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk....

Sooooo ... what was for dinner?

FORT WORTH, Texas - Police say a 20-year-old woman faces an aggravated assault charge after she bit her boyfriend, broke a picture frame across his face and swung at him with a sword during an argument about him not doing the dishes.

You know.... if they would have used paper plates, non of this would have happened... she sounds like she can be one mighty mean little filly...

I'm a Skeptic too...

Skeptics are a necessary part of scientific discovery. We challenge the scientific consensus to create change. We examine the beliefs held by the consensus and express our doubts and questions. Skepticism prevents science from becoming morbid and frozen.

And damn proud of it... As Lord Monckton stated on the Roy Green show yesterday, environmentalists, and politicians who have fallen into, and propagated the AGW trap, are all IDIOTS, as their is no evidence of man made global warming, and it is only purely agenda driven, and their is NO CONSENSES on climate change.

Bring on the Nukes!

CALGARY — A new report for the Canada West Foundation suggests benefits should outweigh concerns in discussions about building nuclear reactors in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

The report by political science teacher Duane Bratt says a nuclear revival worldwide is seeing reactors constructed at record rates around the globe, so the two provinces should jump on board.

I'm just glowing over here....

Canadians are stupid...

I don't normally link to lefty moonbats... but this is to good to let go... I guess I'm just to STUPID to let it go..

The Green Party needs to be composted ..

(h/t)

Dazed & Confused....

I've never seen LIEberals stumble all over themselves so bad trying to figure out how to deal with Sarah Palin.

Other no mind LIEberals doing drive by smear jobs, in the HOPE something will stick... when it's actually only their underwear sticking from them crapping themselves...

It's the best reality show going...

Some politicians just outright LIE to get elected...

FORT SMITH, N.W.T. - New Democrat Leader Jack Layton stumped through Alberta and the Northwest Territories on Monday looking for environmental converts in the country's richest oil region.

He railed against the evils of unrestrained development of the tarsands, which have been helping to drive Western Canada and the country's economy for much of the last five years.

In a pitch that seemed more in tune with voters in environmentally sensitive Central Canada, particularly Quebec, Layton vowed to shut down further expansion of Alberta's tarsands development.

This socialist moron flies over, and does not stop or take a tour of the oilsands, then throws out his comment for eastern consumption, and the comment is an outright lie. If this no mind socialist would have gotten off the plane, and went back in the bush, where they haven't done any digging, he would have found the sticky bitumen laying on the surface, and leaching into the rivers naturally. But Noooooo.... this loser flies over, sees a bit of development, and the world, as we no it, is being destroyed by Alberta.

There is no way he wants to tell the rest of Canukastan that the land reclamation is a huge success, and is 3000 times better then before because of the removal of the damn bitumen ... Nooooo ... don't tell them that Jack ... you might lose a vote .... Noooooo you socialist moron. Don't tell Ontario your gonna kill 120 billion in revenue over the next 10 years from shutting down the oil sands.... they just might not vote for you, in their already depressed manufacturing economy. What in the hell do you think is keeping this country going right now you idot!........Bring it on Taliban Jack.... This country would split up so quick, you wouldn't know what hit you.

Leftwing Moonbats shaking all over North America...

In Canada:

The poll by Segma for the French-language daily La Presse put support for the Conservatives at 43 percent versus 25 percent for their main rival, the Liberals.

In the USA:

McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul.

Not that I care about polls good or bad, but it's been soooooooo quiet while they've stopped their screeching, and keep trying to figure out what happened. It's simple really..... no one likes them, or their ideology...
