-Land of the Free
How do those shackles rest, Lawson?
From the Zelman Partizans, of which I am a member. Inlines by Nicki, whoever that is:

Lawson Clarke is an ad exec from Massachusetts and a “Gun Owner Who is Perfectly Comfortable With Gun Control.”

Translation: he’s a serf, who has no comprehension of the meaning of a right and thinks the Second Amendment protects his “right” to hunt.

#1  Say, they're so keen on restrictions on gun ownership, let's use all the mechanisms and processes they set up for it to be applied for voting registration as well. Word for word, step by step. Or vice versa. Yeah, that's it, motor/gun/voter registration.

#2  The Modern Man appreciates he could not survive outside of his little world, and embraces bureaucracy and paperwork as his little spoon. Does The Modern Man have balls of melon. Why yes, he does.

Great White North
Canada just elected an idiot
Watch the video at the link

Gavin McInnes
[The Rebel]

I am stunned Canada chose this fool to represent them but there you have it. As a lampooner of absurd politics, I just won the lottery. Canadians, on the other hand, just jumped off a cliff.

When Americans ask me how dumb he is, I say, “He’s not like anyone you met in real life. He’s like a character in a TV show. Like, Joey from Friends. He’s cartoonishly dumb.”

The other amazing thing about Justin is that his entire merit is based on the fact that he’s Pierre Trudeau’s son. Young people assumed Pierre was a good Prime Minister but for those of us who were there, we remember what a complete tool he was. He rammed French and multiculturalism down the entire country’s throat and he spent so much of our money doing it, the dollar never really recovered.

So, the Prime Minister of Canada is incompetent and he was elected because of his father, who was also incompetent. It’s going to be a wild ride.

#1  North America has become a silly place.

#2  Like I've said before it's time to invest in razor wire and land mines. Hopefully Canada has enough oil and gas to keep the women and children warm in these oncoming cold winters. Mean while, learn Russian and Mandarin.

#3  It is not like the US has room to point fingers.

#4  He's a protest vote. And a pretty boy. And that's enough.

#5  His pedigree and ideology reads like Obama's.

#6  Canada just elected an idiot

Seems to be a trend among the 'white privileged' countries that enjoy being among the 1 percenters of history. Things can't be that bad when you're so high on the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, that you forget the basics of survival in pursuit of leaders for their 'entrainment/popularity' value. Oh, and Free Stuff!

#7  I have been told Obama sent a crack tem of Data miners/social engineers for helping Trudeau in his "Get out the (for me) vote". I think "Get out the vote" actions are banned in France. In fact it is illegal to include material inciting to vote in the envelope containing the ballot papers for every party, the town is mandated to send to the voter. In France we think vote must be free of outside influence. No I am not boasting about the French system. I am deploring the fact that you allow get out the vote initiatives, the vote without ID, dead voters or artistic recountings (districts in Massachusets voted for Obama at over 150%!!!!!). Citizens of a democracy should take voting matters far seriously than you do.

BTW: Which is the Party that battles against requiring an ID? Let's guess.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Analysis: The differences between the current wave of violence and past Palestinian uprisings
[Jpost] Former national security adviser Yaakov Amidror writes that the PA seems to be trying to curb violent events in Paleostinian cities and across West Bank.

Contrary to what some media reports would have the public believe, the current unrest, troubling as it may be, does not echo past Paleostinian uprisings. Israel must opt for restraint whenever possible, to avoid playing into Paleostinian propaganda.

The recent security escalation is difficult and frustrating. The violent riots, especially those in which protesters clash with Israeli security forces, cast serious doubt on the possibility of peaceful coexistence. Inflammatory headlines and fervent media reports seem to exacerbate the situation by blowing it out of proportion.

#1  Bullshit! That's exactly how intifada II started. Today, there is an added incentive of ISIS & refugee crisis (Tranzis---who are Paleo paymasters, would like to distract their sheeple from the ongoing Islamic invasion).

#2  cast serious doubt on the possibility of peaceful coexistence.

As opposed to the last 67 years of blissful peace and unicorns?

#3  Post a map of Israel with an grid superimposed. Every time there is a stabbing the Pals are pushed out of that grid-space. Start with Israel proper and then move onto the grids that border Israel. They will eventually get the hint or end up living in Jordan and Egypt.

I'll let the Israeli's decide the difference between Pals and Israeli Arabs.

#4  Some East Jerusalem or nearby residents seem to be upset because they claim to live in an anarchical situation. They say that they are neither under Israel or the Palestinian regime, and lack the benefits? accruing from either one. If their frustration at this is partially responsible for the recent violence there, that violence seems a particularly idiotic response. Perhaps the Israeli's might talk to some of them and suggest that these people figure out a constructive remedy for their plight and push for it themselves. Attacking Jews will get them nowhere.

#5  Here's the answer. Kill every member of Hamas Fatah and every other freaking terrorist organization over there. If this causes their population to go to zero, well then, shouldn't have been terrorists vermin.
