Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Geeze, what happened to ‘peer pressure’?
Absolutely disgraceful, not to say an incitement to hate and murder.
You really don’t have much difference between those statements, and those of that other famous hippie and espouser of leftism, Charles Manson.
The more vicious the Left gets, the more they guarantee the failure of the best shot they’ve had.
Bring it on.
The only advise I can give to you turn the other cheek Christian conservatives, is to get down on one knee and ask forgiveness in advance to what ever god you pray to. For when the time comes show no quarter because you will get none.
It never ceases to amaze me that the collective left can find racism, sexism, hatred, bigotry etc. in any statement made from someone who doesn’t share their social world view, yet they can’t see the poison they spew.
‘Turn the other cheek’, read in context, applies in a teaching situation. If the pupil becomes aggravated because their world view has disintegrated through Christian teaching and strikes the teacher, Christians are to turn the other cheek.
If a stranger, or anyone else, strikes us, we knock ’em down…Peter wore a sword for a reason.
The left is losing the intellectual battle to conservatives among ordinary folk and they know it. That explains why they grow increasing shrill. Obama’s constituency is a coalition of takers. The makers want nothing to do with him.
Yes, the left, who are collectivists and insist that all must believe as they do, are intolerant and vicious. That’s one aspect of this post.
We’ve seen this in the Inquisition which defined as heretics anyone who didn’t believe The Rule, we’ve seen it in Stalinism, Maoism, the Third Reich. We’ve seen it in inner city gangs, in our leftist controlled universities. Anyone who is ‘not one of us’ is considered sub-human and subject to violent attack. That’s tribalism, aka, leftism and collectivism.
But the other issue in this thread is that no parent should use a child as a mouthpiece for adult opinions.
But the other issue in this thread is that no parent should use a child as a mouthpiece for adult opinions.
Especially conservative opinion, eh?
Everyone instills their own values into their children, apparently the children just can’t talk about it if it’s conservative opinion.
More peer pressure is needed, or strongly worded letters, or something…
And that gun on his hip…scandalous.
I have never found leftards particularly intellectual, in fact generally the opposite. Any strength the left possesses is usually a perceived moral authority that goes unchallenged. They usually do not care whether their assertions are factual or not. When exposed they simply move on to the next line of BS. This process in isolation appeals to individuals as circumstances impact their immediate ‘wants or desires’.
Interestingly I have found that the left does best in ‘good’ times as they dwell on the envy side of the equation. When the economy turns down then rats abandoning a sinking ship will step on whoever is handy to get out. The pendelum then swings to the other extreme where conservatives are expected to clean up the mess.
fiddle; the sky is blue.
ct – exactly; the left, aka anyone who rejects individual reason and focuses on collective belief, lives in a utopian, imagined world. This is a world where IF everyone (and it has to be everyone) behaved in a certain manner, THEN, purity and peace and prosperity etc would exist.
An imaginary world and certainly, they reject facts, reason, science, proof. None of that is of interest to a leftist.
So, their existence in the real world, which they reject as impure, is filled with malice, hostility, contempt for others, etc.
The sexual content of most of those vile comments is really creepy and unnerving considering the target of their bile is a 6 year old boy.
Odd that when confronted with opinion contrary to their own, the progressives/socialists espouse violence. In the same breath they label their antagonists racist, greedy and selfish.
It’s more than odd; it’s scary.
Jesus stands at the side of God, as he should. On the other side is Saint Michael, and he has a sword.
What do you wanna bet most of those vile posters have a ‘Co exist’ bumper sticker.
All that pot and crack has to go somewhere.
ET and ct, exactly. I shudder to think of a society where people like this are given free reign. I know some of you might think, “there he goes again”, but both my wife’s and my families have seen during the period post 1917 in Russia what this mindset is capable of.
As much as I hate everything Obama stands for, this video leaves bad taste for me. If a child is capable of independent thinking and can formulate those thoughts on his/her own, it’s fine and great. This however smacks of brain washing. Of course the leftist are responsible for 90% of brain washing in children, but we on the right shouldn’t respond likewise.
Nothing however justifies an outright hatred demonstrated in the comments presented at the link. Those people don’t have any humanity left in them. They are no better than animals.
We’ve seen countless examples of the Left brainwashing the children, but all we do on the right is just poke fun at that. There are no ad hominem attacks if it’s the Left coming up with those videos.
Two good things about this video.
First and most important, I think that the -reaction- to it is extremely instructive for Conservatives. It shows the true nature of our ideological opponents. They just aren’t like us, and they aren’t going to come around to our way of thinking if we reason with them. Facts and logic don’t motivate them, hate does. Arm yourselves accordingly.
Second, this kind if insane reaction means They Are Losing. Even better, they know they are losing.
Take home lesson, don’t put your kids on the internet. Its not safe. Too many nuts, not enough nut crackers.
I saw a link with the words “6 year old gets it”. Nuts. No he doesn’t!
I refused to watch the 6-year old “getting it”.
I take an extremely grim view of using little children for political advocacy. Just as grim as the view I take of these “social media” messages which I refuse to read.
It’s child abuse, period.
I have a great interest in banking and monetary theory. A while back there was a viral video up featuring a 12-year old girl “getting it” vis-a-vis banking. No she didn’t! Creeped me out. I bailed before the 1/2 way mark.
“Social media” are DESTROYING common civility and using children for political activism is child molestation.
By default, a six year old doesn’t understand politics, so I have to agree that it’s a bit odd. However, the name calling is completely over the top and vile.
Ken (Kulak) at August 3, 2012 11:07 AM
Yeah, not just in post 1917 Russia….these people don’t back off but go ballistic…really.
Castro’s firing squads after victory….same with Pol Pot….post fall of Saigon, Viet Nam….the Chi-com victory over the “nationalists”….post Reichstag fire Germany…
The tempo of terrorism always increases rather than slacks…
The scary thing obout these lefties is that given the opportunity they really would “shoot the kid”.
The myth that lefties are highly intelligent/educated is just that….a myth….
General Denikin realized this early on…during his successful flight from Petrograd disguised as a bum/ragged, unwashed derrilict. Ignorance and lack of sophistication become virtues to lefties.
Ken said: “I know some of you might think, “there he goes again”, but both my wife’s and my families have seen during the period post 1917 in Russia what this mindset is capable of.”
Ken, you keep on testifying. The mistake they made in Russia and again in the Ukraine 1932 was they thought the Communists were normal people, with normal moral restraint. They thought as we think, that these people can see the light if only we speak to them, let them know the reasons we do things the way we do.
We, thanks to guys like you, don’t have to repeat their mistake. We can see who they really are. We know not to go along.
This mindless liberal droid-like acceptance of political intolerance and politically justified violence/injustice/inhumanity is just the result of years of public conditioning by the Leftist institutions. This leftist reactionary violence/intolerance is endemic to revolutionary Marxism and militant fascism.
The current US administration epitomises this ideology and encourages political persecutions (Treyvon Martin, anti capitalism, health care dissent). Is there any doubt another 4 years of this official political oppression will incur some form of civil war?
Is civil rebellion being provoked? Could this be the excuse the left needs to permanently install dull martial law and suspend the constitution – to set about a pogrom of destroying the old republic and those who support it?
Nawwwww it’s all just coincidence.
me no dhimmi, mark, others – I totally agree. No six year old understands ideology of any type: political, religious, social.
And I agree, it’s child abuse to have a young child memorize the parent’s ideology and spout it online.
But the vitriol of the left attacking the child and his parents is disheartening. It shows how tribal the left are – you are either in their tribe without a thought of your own, or you are a stranger, an Other, whose very words are considered an attack on you – and so, you must destroy all Others.
The left shows this mindset. Every time, whether its in this attack or the Chick-fil-A attack or the jihadist attacks. Same mentality.
Obama is a specific example, with his exhorting people to ‘attack your enemies’, his telling people that violence is justified (his gun-knife scenario), his constant denigration of those who are independent thinkers and workers (and not subservient to Him and government)…
Phantom @12:13 – “It shows the true nature of our ideological opponents. They just aren’t like us…”
I find it extremely difficult to imagine right-wingers or conservatives or libertarians or whatever calling for a little child to be raped and murdered because his silly parents had taught him to parrot some left-wing talking points.
Me No Dhimmi @12:13 – I don’t know if it’s child abuse, but this sort of thing is definitely incredibly stupid and annoying. I didn’t watch it either.
Ken ( Kulak ) –
Those who don’t remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.
Stalin’s reign of terror must be remembered so that we stop would be Stalins of today from gaining the power to kill hundreds, thousands, or millions.
One clown called the kid a “homophobic c***sucker”. Talk about a conflicted liberal….
I don’t know how he would even begin to rationalize that logic.
Of course if somehow one of these scumbags really does succeed in planting a bomb in the parents’ mailbox for the child to find, he’ll be written off as a lone nut, nobody could have seen it coming, nothing to see here, move along. (That’s assuming the police are allowed to spend any time looking for him.)
Well said, Ken. It’s been proven time and time again that the enemies of civilization don’t listen to anything but overwhelming and lethal force. Pray the father is a gun owner. The world can always use one less communist. Not one of them is worth a hair on a Christian child’s head.
I have never seen a demonstration by left-wing activists where children were NOT front and center in the march.
Saul’s rule:”always accuse the opposition of doing what you’re doing” certainly rings true in this case.
An American Thinker post that is relevant (I think).
http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/08/conservatives_have_a_secret.html
Our schools are indoctrinating young children en mass. Fairy tales are read to five and six year old’s -they are instructed to raise their hands when they hear a sexist view. The genderless agenda of the militant LGBT organizations is infiltrating our school system, under the threat of legal action and precedent, and under the guise of human rights and bullying. Yet people are in a twist over this video. If they only knew what their kids are being taught in school. There is no getting around it either, these topics are cross curricular. There is no official sexism class one can pull their children out of, as a matter of fact, parents are not allowed to pull their children-school boards cite human rights violations as to push this agenda.
No six year old understands ideology of any type: political, religious, social.
Nonsense. My grandfather was a socialist. Had me believing at 6 years old. But when it was explained by my parents I would need to share everything with those who had less, toys, saddle and horse, everything I earned, I quickly became of the free enterprise belief.
I’m not sure why, but I find articles like the following rather refreshing at times like this; http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/08/you_drop_fifteen_tons_an_whaddaya_get.html
I realize I am not going to make any friends by pointing this out, but it seems Kate may be guilty of a little tiny bit of political correctness…
the comment at the link was actually spelled
Shoot tha kid!! Kill tha parents!!!
Spelling like this is typical of blacks
I understand the post is about liberals – not about blacks – but why change the spelling ?
fiddle – Believing something told to you, a six year old, by an adult whether your grandfather or parents, has zilch to do with understanding it.
The sky is blue. You really do have a problem.
I certainly understood I would have to give what I had to those who had less.
That’s all there is to socialism. Even a six year old can understand that.
Look- if killing an unborn baby is almost a religious duty for the left, threatening a six year old kid is an extension of that.
No fiddle, socialism is not about giving to those who have less. That’s personal charity, that’s personal sharing and all children must be taught to share by their parents. It’s not a basic innate understanding.
Socialism is an economic and societal ideology that must encompass a whole population – not a single child personally sharing his toys with another child. Socialism rejects private ownership in favour of national ownership for collective use, rejects the individual work input for collective distribution and so on.
No child understands these terms or has any sense of what a societal and economic system is and their infrastructure. If they did, then we ought to lower the voting age to six, lower the age when one can be president to six, lower the age when one can be a member of congress to six, and so on.
Socialism rejects private ownership in favour of national ownership for collective use, rejects the individual work input for collective distribution and so on.
Hellooo, that’s what I said.
No child understands these terms…
You saying so doesn’t make it so.
If they did, then we ought to lower the voting age to six, lower the age when one can be president to six, lower the age when one can be a member of congress to six, and so on.
Understanding concepts and the discipline to be informed on administrative trivia are two different things.
Btw, where did you read the sky is blue?
fiddle – your definition of socialism is:
“I certainly understood I would have to give what I had to those who had less.
That’s all there is to socialism.”
That statement about your personal interaction with another is NOT a definition of socialism. It says nothing about the NATIONAL full population rejection of private ownership of production, says nothing about collectivism, nothing about the insertion of national ownership (got that – national?), says nothing about individual work input being reduced to irrelevance…
So- don’t tell me that your statement about your individual PERSONAL giving of what you have to someone else is ‘socialism’. You obviously have no understanding of socialism.
A child of six does not understand concepts and for you to consider that that is possible is unbelievable. And a government role cannot be defined as you are now doing as merely ‘the discipline to be informed on administrative trivia’.
The sky is blue and you, fiddle, have made a deliberate choice to simply post the opposite of whatever I post. You yourself have no knowledge of many of the issues we discuss – your most recent ones being your ignorance of socialism, your ignorance of the cognitive capacities of a child.
You seem to think that knowledge is innate, you reject the knowledge of others, you reject the great works and analyses of thinkers from the past, you reject the use of reason, analysis. These are your choices. My choice is now, to simply ignore you. I don’t see the constructive point of interacting with someone so isolate, so naive and so filled with malice. Cheers.
Everything is PERSONAL. How do YOU experience the world? Oh, forgot, you don’t, except through someone who wrote about it.
Anyway, I have no problem ignoring you. Your written nonsense is another matter…
fiddle would appear to be that rarest of unicorns, the -right- wing troll.
Or possibly needs a refill for those pills.
By the way fiddle, six year olds do not understand political theory. You’re bucking a hundred years of psychological and developmental research. Much of which I have read and it seems you have not. Have fun looking like a doof.
Another ET groupie who follows other fallible people like themselves. The blind leading the blind…they both fall in the ditch.
Phantom,
I am not here to defend fidle , don’t know that person , am not here often enough to know them and what they have said before, but when ET says of him/her;
you reject the great works and analyses of thinkers from the past
Really ? rejects the work of ALL the thinkers of the past ? ALL of them and from ALL of human history? really ?
Don’t you think ET needs to take her pills too?
common everyone,
the truth is somewhere between what fiddle says and ET says.
There is no need to read dozens of books on, and study for years socialism to understand what it basically is,
and a kid who is told after he spent 5 hours going door to door on haloween night that he must share his candy with kids who only went from door to door for only 15 minutes ( mostly because they knew they would get the other kid’scandy) can understand that this type of “sharing” is unfair.
Yes, socialist theory is a child’s theory. A child’s first want is to be taken care of, nothing complicated about that. Not much wonder children can understand it.
Hence the references to being on the public teat, and all the other baby references…nanny state, etc.
Those euphemisms are used because they fit.
As is clear from ever mounting incidences with the left there is only one thing to do and that is DEFEAT them.
Correction to my earlier comment – sexism classes should read genderless classes. Sexism, is taught to introduce the concept of genderlessness as the natural human state whereupon children can then identify which of the so-called six genders they internally feel they really are and go on to learn that there are remedies available to make their outer bodies match their inner gender-including chemical castration, SRS, and hormones to prevent menarche. Role playing their inner gender is encouraged Note that inner gender is based on fickle things, tastes and emotions, all of which are social constructs/trends and change-a child’s DNA is inconsequential

Socialism and Capitalism are easily explained. Both are based on personal gain. Capitalism is based on creating your own gain. Socialism is based on stealing someone else’s gain. And look at that I didn’t have to read every book in the universe to understand it. Amazing!
