I still can't believe people think he deserves a vote.

I read that yesterday. Depressing. There goes the martyr of freedom. There goes the defender of liberty. 

Worse thing is , 3 out of the other 4 would be just as bad and 2 would be even worse for personal liberties....Cry


Hyperbole much?

http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2012/03/30/canada-budget-2012-cfia-cuts_n_1391708.html?ref=canada
Quote The federal government’s decision to stop policing nutrition claims on food labels threatens Canadians’ health and leaves consumers with little recourse when food labels are wrong, the head of an agricultural union says.

In the budget released Thursday, the Conservative government announced it would no longer verify nutrition claims on food labels, and will instead set up a website where consumers can take their concerns directly to food producers..
Of course Libertarians will applaud that, though it makes no sense.

^Maybe if you post that in the libertarian thread your trolling could be more on topic.

All those pundits that seem to think they know the ultimate truth must be at least semi-pricks. Even when I was closer to his ideals I couldn't stand Olberman (or Maddow, or Matthews).

Kate Winslet has become  my instant heroine. I just saw on Yahoo news that Céline.s song from that movie she starred in that exploited a tragedy about a boat getting wacked by a killer iceberg in 1912. She said on an Italian TV show that the song, My Heart Will Go On makes her want to throw up. I watched Celine's TV documentary last night because I decided that I didn't have a life for 90 minutes. The part that made me cry the most was when she was in her $ 15 million business jet with her three little freaks and her pedophile husband talking about what a tough stressful life she has making $50 million for a few crappy shows in Vegas butchering AC DC and Journey songs. She even hacked her way through Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. I made a note to remember her in my will because I feel guilty about the stress free life I'm living paying car insurance, mortgage payments, life insurance etc. All those appearances on the fat pig Oprah Show must have taken decades off the back end of her life.

Kate is my heroine from now on!!!!!!!!

UK government plans to unleash new 'web snooping' legislation as soon as possible.

BBC article


Home Secretary Theresa May said 'ordinary people' had nothing to fear, but 'terrorist, paedo's and criminals' did, she told the hysterical right wing tabloid, The Sun.

The legislation allows the UK inteligence servies to monitor real time data, in the form of e-mails, website visits, text messages etc, although apparently there is to be no big new government database.

It's a good job that government never lies, distorts the truth, courts corruption and corporate criminality, and never misleads its electorate, otherwise us civil libertarian fruitcakes may have something to worry about here. Phew!

Supreme Court upholds strip-searches
For ANY arrest, even if you're innocent, it's finger-in-the-butt

  Link


The Supreme Court on Monday ruled by a 5-to-4 vote that officials may strip-search people
arrested for any offense, however minor, before admitting them to jails even if the officials
have no reason to suspect the presence of contraband. Angry

Still it is a worthy News Of The Day item and we really should note the damage that the right wing judicial activists are now doing.

Left wing judges want us to be forced to buy something (healthcare). Though it might sound like something much more benign and even beneficial, in depth they're just two sides of the same coin: judges not giving a f**k about people's liberties.

No need to fight me on this one as you probably would Slart. I usuay despise all judges in the supreme court the same.
