Best option? It's just not possible.

Grammar lesson - what is wrong with the following sentence, spoken by Susan Yolen, vice president of public affairs and communications for Connecticut Planned Parenthood?

"She said that, while many women do happily keep unwanted pregnancies, it's not always the best option for the mother or the unborn child." (Quoted from here.)

Well, maybe you can argue what is best for the mother, but it is just not possible for an abortion to be the best option for the unborn child!

And an interesting sidelight to the comment - Ms Yolen even calls the baby an "unborn child" not just some unwanted growth in the mom. To Ms Yolen, an unborn child is fair game for murder, er, abortion.

Stay the Course in Afghanistan!

Amen brother!

Joel Johannesen gets it right about the mealy mouthed liars in the Fiberal and NDP parties about Canada's involvement in Afghanistan:

Know the Enemy

Canadian forces should stay in Afganistan 'til done.

Canadian troops were sent into Afghanistan as part of a UN-authorized and NATO supplied military anti-insurgency mission. Not peacekeeping. Calls for our forces to leave before the job is done only gives comfort to our enemies - the Taliban and their Islamist allies and sympathizers. There is talk of the "enormous sacrifice" made by Canada - this is so far I take to be 76 soldiers and 1 diplomat. Of course the deaths (and permanent injuries to others) are sad and tragic. But, has this country lost its balls to fight against an enemy determined to change how our nation lives - how me and my family will live in the future? I do not want sharia law or an Islamic Canada.

Here is a good article by J.L. Granatstein in the Globe and Mail about this topic,

and here is one about Liberal yellow streaks.

10 Principles of Conservatism

Here is an excellent summary of what conservatives generally believe:

Kyoto Accord? Two door or four door?

In a short article in the American Thinker website we find the following data for the years 1997 to 2004:

If we look at that data and compare 2004 (latest year for which data is available) to 1997 (last year before the Kyoto treaty was signed), we find the following:

• Emissions worldwide increased 18.0%.
  
• Emissions from countries that signed the treaty increased 21.1%.
  
• Emissions from non-signers increased 10.0%.
  
• Emissions from the U.S. increased 6.6%.

10 Questions for all the "Islam is a Religion of Peace" Multi-Culti Crowd

10 Questions for all the "Islam is a Religion of Peace" Multi-Culti Crowd

Including answers!

What about some history of Islam? Here is a short account dealing with the methods Mohammed gave Muslims to use in expanding their empire: Muhammad's Tribe .

Here are a couple of quotes: "The multitude of reports from Muslim, indigenous and other sources of the Islamic conquests are equally detailed and equally daunting to a modern reader. It is true that throughout history intergroup relations in most of the world were exploitative and repressive, and not infrequently brutal and bloodthirsty. The world of Islam was not so much an exception to this, as exemplary of it."

"The theological foundation of the Arab Empire was the supremacy of Islam and the obligation of each Muslim to advance its domination. The notion of Jihad, in particular, served to establish the Muslim community's permanent state of war against the dar al-harb until the infidels' conclusive submission and the absolute world supremacy of Islam."

"The evidence is overwhelming that vast numbers of infidel male warriors and civilians were slain, and that most of those spared, particularly the women and children, were enslaved for domestic and sexual servitude. While men who willingly converted were spared, their wives and children were taken as slaves. In conquered regions, children were regularly taken from parents, while on the borders -- especially in Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Africa south of the Sahara -- raiding for slaves was normal practice. Of the male slaves, a substantial number were made eunuchs by the removal of sex organs, in order to serve in harems."

These conquests were explicitly required of Muslims. The Christian Crusade, a response to some of these conquests, was not required by the Bible, the Christian's holy book, nor were any now-regrettable Christian tactics or methods explicitly authorized or encouraged by the Bible. Indeed, the Bible teaches against those regretted wrongs.

And Mohammad said that the Koran and its laws can never be changed. The tactics, methods and reasoning used in the 7th century are still there and are once again being put into practice against a weakened West.

Islamist Threats

There are continual reports of Islamist terror attacks from all around the world. But Canadians think the perps are extremists. So, where are the "moderate" or "liberal(?)" Muslims? Why do we not hear from them, condemning the daily atrocities?

Here's a sample from today's (January 11, 2008) news reports:

Pakistan suicide bomber: Pakistan investigators try to identify Lahore bomber

Maldive Islands: Boy Scout foils Maldives President assassination bid The President's spokesman said it was politically motivated, but Ibrahim [the Boy Scout] said he had no doubt that the attacker was an Islamic militant or inspired by an extremist vision of the world, a view seconded by people who know the man. "He had a long beard; he shouted 'God is Great' when he took out his knife. He kept shouting it," Ibrahim told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital in Male where he is recovering from wounds to his left hand sustained in the attack. Scout: Islamic Militant Attacked Prez

Back on December 7, 2007: Woman suicide attacker and car bomb kill 26

December 20, 2007: Bomber kills 13 Iraq volunteers and 1 U.S. soldier

January 10, 2008: Belgian court jails Iraq suicide bomb recruiters In this one, Islamists recruited European converts for terror suicide attacks. "Bilal deliberately assisted terrorist circles in Iraq," presiding judge Pierre Hendrickx told the court. He said the network aimed to help impose a radical vision of Islam rather than simply freeing Iraq from U.S. occupation.

We never hear any objections from any Muslims to any of these attacks.
