The two kinds of pacifism are very different animals. Christian pacifism often depends on isolation and other methods of controlling the situation. This approach requires individual faith and sacrifice. New wave pacifism depends on political correctness and "the power of our ideas". This...

I have an Idea for them! They can put their money were their placards are......... They can log on to KIVA.org and make micro-credit loans to small Afghan businesses. There are similar micro-credit .orgs out there. Lots of opportunity to help. Yes, of course this only works in a secure...

I think what The Saint doesn't get, is that, for you guys in uniform, bad guys is bad guys. Insurgent, insurectionist, terrorist, so much semantic fudge.  I'm still trying to wrap my head around OWDUs new writing style. ;D  He makes the primary point. Real life experience trumps "liberal...

Of course the WWF wouldn't gain anything from hyping this at all would they?  ;) What's their revenue $500 million?  AGW was the best thing to ever happen to WWF and Greenpeace!! Personally, my thought is that anyone who pushes AGW propaganda is ANTI- environment because it distracts us from...

Ghyslyn, Good answer!  But I still think they will blame evil corporations and big oil..

:rofl: Thanks, I needed that!  Would he then retire and start building houses for people with too many books?  ;D

I found this on a blog. Interesting background, assuming it's true. Here's the link http://alfin2100.blogspot.com/ Iran Growing Desperate, and Dangerous Even oil at $140 a barrel cannot save the unfortunate country of Iran, sinking under the stone aged mindset of its leadership. Events in...

It seems to me that in many respects, canadian industry is an active part of the "military industrial complex".  That is, as far a military technology is concerned, there is a very dim border. Not a problem really.  the EU has a number of multinational efforts in aerospace and military...

Actually, as a child of the cold war, the helicopter struck me as a little ironic.

I think we can all agree that the Tories vision is far superior to "We should persuade with the power of our ideas"( or whatever Axeworthy said ). Manpower is a global issue in Canadian industry today, I mean who will pour all those "double doubles"? But at least it is resolved, by the people...

Thanks T6 I love pictures like that.

ER, The proposed nuclear power plant in Northern Alberta is one "solution" to Obama's little dilemna.   Of note, is also the fact that any shale oil or Coal fuel development in the US has the same "carbon footprint" label.  Also worth noting I believe something like 57% of the trade imbalance...

This popped up in the Globe and Mail. Gap - I think I disagree.....Activists are excited about it. Why not? They "win"  ::) There is a pattern emerging of a carbon tax revolt, or at least a political backlash. Dion has placed himself on the wrong side of this one for sure.  ;D

Was there ever any doubt?  ;D

There's a simple analog to this argument.  And absolute proof that the "centuries old" theories are correct. Any aqueous battery owes it's existence to the mobility of hydrogen. In every case the battery will run down as an oxidation reaction continues. In most cases this can be reversed as the...

A few thoughts come to mind...... ;D It seems to be a great Liberal tradition to attack tax anything that seems to be attracting a lot of money.  George went down a list and I have to agree, if it appears you've got some disposable income thay want a "piece". I recall fondly how the NDPs...

Isn't that a weird coincidence. Just last week a young guy came to me to inquire what it would cost to develop the electronic controls for exactly this. Some noise about a resonant Hydrogen generation device.  His argument was about effeciencies too. Here's the thing, the energy yeilded by the...

I found this today too. An environmental group actually saying there are 5 Things That Are Worse Than Global Warming If you want to win an argument I think the best tack is to highlight how AGW activism distracts us all from real environmental issues.  I often go further with how AGW activism...

I found this little Gem.....Something about arctic ice having returned to 1980 levels. http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/comment.php?comment.news.76 Not sure of it's veracity but I suspect it's absolutely true. In

If we're going to trot out history, I think it's fair to mention the Falklands war. After the Argies were " evicted" the Galtieri regime collapsed like a house of cards. I think ( again, look at the civie ) WE ( the west ) needs to calculate with some precision what butt kicking will cause the...
