PS a wild, wasteful culture of ‘crony capitalism’ – the endless subsidies to the politically well-connected – and the Chavista style smearing of the opposition with lies like “Romney murdered” and is a tax criminal – which is how Obama the Marxist “governs,” ought to be mentioned in further critiques of Obama by Caruba.

Comment on Canada: New Wave Of Truedeaumania Or Maybe Not – Analysis by Susann

Mr. Corea are you moonlighting as a full-on propoganda officer for the federal 3rd place still-feeling-entitled Liberal Party of Ottawa/Toronto? There actually is a 2nd place official Opposition Party which may warrant an article.

This piece contains every single talking point off of the new Liberal leader’s revised history website. However Canadians know that Trudeau is as close to a silver-spoon inherited millionaire as Canada has. His prior work experience included two years as a substitute drama teacher at a tony private school and as a snowboarding instructor for part of one solitary winter. That. Is. it.

How difficult is it to get the name of a former Prime Minister right? It’s Joe Clark, not “Clarke”, and a 1-second Google search would have told you that.

Comment on Statistical Study Shows First Audit of Venezuelan Election Is Decisive by Peter

Peter — Thu, 09 May 2013 22:57:47 +0000

This article fails to address the real issues surrounding the validity of the election results. The voting machines seem to have been very accurate in recording the selections of the individuals that used them. However, the issue is not how well the machines worked. The allegations of fraud are about things like: voting by people who are dead; voters with fake government issued IDs that allowed them to vote multiple times; 100s of polling stations in which the opposition observers were forcefully removed by government backers; “assisted voting” which means having someone look over your shoulder while you vote and knowing they will report you to your government employer if you vote for the opposition; firing government workers who expressed pro-opposition views (on Facebook, twitter, etc.) ;having government managers call employees at home if they have not gone to the polling station to vote; transporting pro government voters to the polls; not allowing several 100K Venezuelan citizens living abroad to vote because they overwhelmingly support the opposition (90% +); campaigning on election day; intimidating voters at polling stations.
The voting machine audit/ accuracy discussion is a red herring ¬- which is why the Venezuelan election officials have chosen to focus exclusively on that issue. One would hope that a country with a free press would have journalist with critical thinking skills.

Comment on Europe Day: Any Reasons To Celebrate? – OpEd by Barry Davies

Barry Davies — Thu, 09 May 2013 13:26:17 +0000

Europe day will only be celebrated by the politicians who are filling their boots in Brussels, and Strasbourg, for the ordinary person it is just another burden.

The constitution was democratically rejected, renamed the lisbon treaty and foisted on the plebs by the political elite.

Europe the continent is not a settled area, and if anything the eussr will lead to further bloodshed, much as the breakup of previous empire have, because we are fundamentally different, and we believe in our nations not a political monstrosity.

The only countries who want to join are not joining for what they can contribute, but to get free money from the already over burned taxpayers of the net contributors like Germany the UK, and since 2005 France.

The uk isn’t euroskeptik enough yet, but we can only hope that we will get an opportunity to leave this democratically deficient monstrosity sooner rather than later.

Yes by all means we should not restrict the personal liberties to make bombs, kill 8 year olds, maim hundreds and do it all and be able to collect welfare.

Comment on What Is The Threshold For Martial Law? – OpEd by rachael

1. Will, I would love to call you a genius but I cant because everything you said is Common Sense. Thank you for pointing the obvious out to somebody who apparantly does not fact check.

2. On that note, I am quite appalled that you dare compare the Boston Marathon Bombing to Hurricane Katrina (which you obviously know nothing about since you have the wrong law enforcement orders noted and have absolutely no idea of the duration these orders were in place.)

Of fine, what would have been the the best response in your experience with such a situation? Let’s hear it. Two, fact check much?

Looks like the armchair expert whining has started. Thought they might wait a few days, but gotta get them ratings.

From this article:

“I cannot help but wonder what the standard is that triggers the martial-law response we’re seeing in New England.”

The facts:

There was no Martial-law and the request for people to stay off the streets and stay home, 100% voluntary request made and the right move for that situation, and most were more than happy to do it understanding the gravity of the situation.

I live a few towns over from ground central of the search (Watertown) and know several LEO who were there doing the job, and the response was overwhelming positive by residents of those towns to the difficult and dangerous task as told to me by both sides of the experience, residents and LEO alike.

Any residence not appreciative are wining worthless sh$% heads frankly who had they gone out and something happened to them, the first to sue no doubt…

There are times to be sure where Liberties are infringed and curtailed out of proportion to the event, **and that shouldn’t be ignored when it happens,** but this was not one of them.

The city of Boston and surrounding towns that were involved, greatly appreciative of the job done by BPD and other PD’s involved.

That’s the facts.
