DEAR READERS - The Black Kettle Jun 10, 2009, 10:10 am
AS MOST OF YOU HAVE SURMISED BLOGGER TAGGED TBK AS 'SPAM' AND REMOVED IT. I HAD NO ADVANCE WARNING. REPEATED APPEALS TO BLOGGER FELL ON DEAF EARS. IN FRUSTRATION I STARTED UP TBK ON WORDPRESS BUT I HAD NO WAY TO ALERT MY READERS AS TO WHAT HAD TRANSPIRED OR WHERE TBK RELOCATED TO. IT WAS VERY FRUSTRATING. I APOLOGISE TO ALL OF YOU.

*Forbidden Discussion - The Black Kettle Apr 28, 2009, 3:17 pm
The View From 1776:In the liberal-progressive-socialist religion, evidence (or lack of evidence) that calls into question any of its tenets is to be dismissed as non-scientific.Liberal-progressive-socialism and its handmaiden, the Darwinian evolutionary hypothesis, claim the mantle of science. But, as there is exactly zero proof of their doctrine, and judging from the intense, irrational passion with which their believers attack all questioners, we can conclude that liberal-progressive-socialis

*Ed Stelmach puts Lindsay Blackett in his place - The Black Kettle Apr 28, 2009, 2:25 pm
By Ezra Levant:Ed Stelmach, Alberta's weak premier, shows he's still strong when it comes to pushing his MLAs around. Today he put that uppity cabinet minister Lindsay Blackett (at left) back in his place.For months, Blackett had been musing about reforming Alberta's out-of-control human rights commission -- the one that put me through a 900-day prosecution for publishing some cartoons, and the one that sentenced an Alberta pastor to a lifetime speech ban about gay marriage, even banning him fro

*Say It's Osama. What If He Won't Talk? - The Black Kettle Apr 28, 2009, 2:09 pm
By Michael Scheuer, Washington Post:Americans should be clear on what Obama has done. In a breathtaking display of self-righteousness and intellectual arrogance, the president told Americans that his personal beliefs are more important than protecting their country, their homes and their families. The interrogation techniques in question, the president asserted, are a sign that Americans have lost their "moral compass," a compliment similar to Attorney General Eric Holder's identifying them as "

Compass Direct News:As Taliban control hits pockets of Pakistan and threatens the nation's stability, Christians worry their province could be the next to fall under Islamic law.Violence on Tuesday night and Wednesday (April 21-22) near the port city of Karachi ' some 1,000 kilometers (nearly 700 miles) from the Swat Valley, where the government officially allowed the Taliban to establish Islamic law this month ' heightened fears.

By Ben Johnson, FrontPageMagazine.com:[...]Gibbs defended his actions later in the press conference, saying, 'I think the president took swift action to change our image in the world.”That he has. Upon taking office, Barack Obama promptly signed three executive orders closing Guantanamo Bay within one year, shuttering rendition "black sites," and binding interrogators to the Army Field Manual for high value detainees. He stepped away from the maximum, and exceedingly rare, interrogation techni
Canada vindicated at Durban II - The Black Kettle Apr 28, 2009, 10:58 am
By Pierre Poilievre, NP:We Canadians are often too polite to say, 'I told you so.” But 16 months after we told the world that the Durban 'anti-racism” conference was anything but, we have been vindicated. Canada was the first nation to pull out of the Durban II conference and to cut off funds for NGO participation. Countries like Italy, Australia, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, Israel and the United States of America followed us. Many other nations later walked out of the con
Margaret Thatcher's revolution 30 years on - The Black Kettle Apr 28, 2009, 8:33 am
Edwina Currie, Telegraph [UK[:She was a small, pretty woman with chintzy blouses and a nervous habit of clearing her throat. A stiff leather handbag hung like a weapon over her arm; if a wisp of hair escaped from the helmet of her coiffure, she fiddled with it anxiously. In mid-campaign, she was given a grubby calf to hold and didn't know what to do with it. Our first views of Margaret Thatcher weren't reassuring.Yet it was la diffirence that underwrote her astonishing success. The unthinkable '

Melanie Phillips:The most famous atheist in the world, biologist Professor Richard Dawkins, poses as the arch-apostle of reason, a scientist who stands for empirical truth in opposition to obscurantism and lies. What follows suggests that in fact he is sloppy and cavalier with both facts and reasoning to a disturbing degree.I previously wrote about the remarkable debate (which can be seen at this website) between Dawkins and John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics and Fellow in the Philosophy of S

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES:President Obama's media cheerleaders are hailing how loved he is. But at the 100-day mark of his presidency, Mr. Obama is the second-least-popular president in 40 years.According to Gallup's April survey, Americans have a lower approval of Mr. Obama at this point than all but one president since Gallup began tracking this in 1969. The only new president less popular was Bill Clinton, who got off to a notoriously bad start after trying to force homosexuals on the military

David Pryce-Jomes, NRO:When the decline of Britain comes to be properly recorded by some future Edward Gibbon, the name of Jack Jones will feature prominently. He has just died at the age of 96, In his heyday in the 1960s and 1970s he was General Secretary of the Transport and General Workers Union with its 2 million members, and a representative, almost a caricature, of intransigence, selfishness and militancy in the name of the workers.

Here's the lead paragraph: "BAGHDAD — At least 80 people died and 120 others were injured Thursday in three bombings, one by a female suicide bomber in Baghdad who, Iraqi officials said, held a young child's hand as she set off her explosives among a group of women and children receiving emergency food aid."Even putting aside our baseline revulsion at ter

Raphael Alexander, NP:It's nice to know that Quebec is being well taken care of by the rest of Canada. After all, we wouldn't want to let it do something foolish like, for instance, take care of itself. Never mind the fact that it receives $8 billion of the $14 billion in annual equalization funding. They're worth it.They're so worth it, in fact, that they got 85% of the funds available for committees organizing "Celebrate Canada" festivities in 2008. Quebec received $3.2 million last year for e

Meanwhile, the economic pain is getting worse, encouraging his opponents to chip away at his credibility.The bank bail-out will transfer large amounts of taxpayers' money to the bankers, while at least some of the fiscal stimulus money will be redistributed to the poor and to the

For half a century, we have traded happily with the Cubans and sent planeloads of tourists to their beaches every winter.

When a person lies, he is deceiving others about reality, but at least knows he is engaging in deception. But when someone rationalizes -- which is when you lie to yourself -- he is truly lost. He then not only bends reality for others as a by-product of bending it for himself, but he can render untruth

FOX NEWS:What's up with Arizona politicians? Arizona Sen. John McCain made the dubious claim Friday that Sept. 11 hijackers entered the United States through Canada -- just days after Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the former governor of Arizona, said the same thing. Napolitano retracted her claim on Thursday after Canadian officials chided her for the remark, calling it an unfortunate misconception.

Long past time for change at UN - The Black Kettle Apr 24, 2009, 7:26 am
Calgary Herald:If there is one image that should be taken away from this week's United Nations' Geneva conference on racism, it is that of the dignified countenance of Holocaust survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel after a coterie of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's supporters spat vile abuse at him, including calling him a "Zion-Nazi." If there is another image that should stand out, it is that of many of the western delegates walking out on Ahmadinejad's rabid tirade against Israel,

By Marc Sheppard, AT:If there's one thing climate alarmists have become quite good at, it's retrofitting both their computer models and the climate phenomena those models predict whenever they fail to do so correctly. And whether projecting increases in temperature, sea levels or atmospheric carbon dioxide ' that means often.
