Natural Disasters killed 220,000 in 2008 Somehow it all gets pinned on global warming “climate change”. The great thing about “climate change” is that, no matter what happens, you can blame it.

A Sign of Hope in Canada Prolife aboriginal (known as “Native Americans” south of the 49th Parallel points out bleedin’ obvious to secularized Canucks mired in the nonsense of the Imperial Autonomous Self. What’s interesting as well is the way in which the trendy Lefties of the pro-Choice cadre, who perpetually go all moist and mushy whenever “aboriginal rights” are mentioned in any context where they can be used to make war on “Eurocentrism” (read: “Christianity”) suddenly become rigidly contemptuous... Read more
