Tories Take Finances Down Toilet

OTTAWA — The federal government has started the new fiscal year in a rare deficit position, announcing Friday it was $517 million in the red after two months as tax cuts and a slowing economy sliced into revenues.

For those who think the Tories won't take a hit for this (yeah you Grumpy one) during a Fall/Spring election campaign, Canadians expect their government to do more than simply ride the ups and downs of the business cycle. That's why the deficits Ernie Eves revealed in his last budgets cost the Ontario Conservatives so heavily. It was though there had been all this pain for zero pay-off.

And I would remind people that, after 9/11 the U.S. economy slid briefly into recession while the Canadian economy, due to some steady economic helmsmanship by Chretien and Co., did not.

In this country Conservatives have to earn the title of "fiscally responsible". It is not given them by default.

Conservative Talks Insurrection!

Orson Scott "Mormons In Space" Card says that, if them Liberal activists go too far, the bullets may start to fly:

If America becomes a place where our children are taken from us by law and forced to attend schools where they are taught that cohabitation is as good as marriage, that motherhood doesn't require a husband or father, and that homosexuality is as valid a choice as heterosexuality for their future lives, then why in the world should married people continue to accept the authority of such a government?

What these dictator-judges do not seem to understand is that their authority extends only as far as people choose to obey them.

How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.

Gawd, its like I'm flashing back to the 1990s, when Conservatives were genuinely scary.

h/t Cathie.

More Conservative Terror!

Watch the MSM disappear this story.

Is The American Spectator Distributing Malicious Software?

The American Spectator is a well-known Conservative magazine. It's online version can be found here. But be careful! If you do a Google search for it, you get the warning visible in the screen-cap above: "This site may harm your computer", and Google will refuse to link directly to the page. Google's explanation:

This warning message appears with search results we've identified as sites that may install malicious software on your computer...

Of course, some think the warning is a Google conspiracy to crush Conservative websites. Others suggest that such sites have been hacked by the Russians (wouldn't that be ironic?).

I personally have no idea but visit spectator.org and you may be endangering your computer as well as your intelligence!
