Starving Multitudes < Warming Planet

I thought this was clearly decided a few years ago.
Someone should tell those Asian bankers.
Nobody cares if people are starving as long as we can stave off ferns growing in the Arctic.
Because if the earth were to get warmer, dinosaurs might re-emerge to terrorize the planet, and then we all know what happens then: (besides […]

Christian Horizons: Coren’s Thoughts

Michael Coren has a piece in the Saturday Sun today. He also touches upon the point that I made earlier this week, that state Atheism is going to beat the charity out of our society as long as the government attempts to squeeze every vestige of Christian presence and no other group in our […]

Gay Rights Do Not Equal Cohabitation Rights in England

See, this is the problem with same-sex rights, and marriage and all that.  You have physical, governmental, and tax benefits being passed to people on the basis of who touches who with what body parts.  It just doesn’t make any sense.
When this debate first started, I pointed this out to people.  Now, we have the […]

Christian Horizons: Funny, They Don’t Mind the First-Rate Services…

I think that a lot of libertarians (of all bends) out there can really get behind the idea that the government should not be dictating to employers under what terms they must employ their workers. After all, without such restrictions, many of the unions on life-support today would’ve gone the way of the dodo […]

Soft Racism

Definition: when the oppressors no longer tell the oppressed that they are too stupid for normal education - it just lets the oppressed say it, then agrees with them.
Just another symptom of a nation that has copped out of caring for its fellow citizens by simply making mental, emotional and psychological problems, a “culture” or […]

Politics and Religion: Why Are We Talking Religion?

Many have wondered why a site called The Politic winds up talking about religion so much. There are very good reasons for this. Firstly, religion drives some of the most significant events occurring in the world around us. The question of Islam is affecting world politics to a level unprecedented. Understanding […]

Segregation Returns to Little Rock - Victory for Progressives Everywhere

Elizabeth Eckford, a shy fifteen year old, was the first black woman through the doors of Little Rock Central High School in 1957, one of nine students who represented an early victory in the civil rights movement. Until that day, all of the students in the most prestigious high school in the city were […]

Tom Lukiwski: The One Who Cast The First Slur…

Should it be a surprise that of all the people I know, the ones who are *socially liberal* when it comes to issues of lifestyles and choices are the also the ones that are most willing to drop the phrase “fag” when it comes to describing someone in a derogatory manor? I blogged about […]

The Turban and Safety

Here we go again.  It’s a human right to risk getting your head bashed in, while working at a lumber mill?  This isn’t the first time that Sikhs have taken Canadian law to courts, to permit them to wear the turban in breach of safety regulations.
I am trying to make sense of this.  First, how […]

Violent Youth

This is an interesting read on “Britain’s Mean Streets.” Wonder how Canadian youths compare?
I’ve noticed that a lot of youths are jaded and cynical, their hellishly asinine cosmion of meaning offering little by way of hope. It seems to me that a lot of urban youth are lacking the interest, the opportunity, to […]
