Canada's Message to trump...

       Laozi: 'When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be' 



When fascism came to America itcame clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025.

Israel in the present time is a state engaging in state terrorism against the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Zionist genocide of Palestinians is ungodly, un-Christian, and in every way horrific  evil.

For Evangelical Christians, Christian Nationalists and MAGA who apparently know nothing of Jesus of Nazareth's position on wealth: Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.



"All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances. Milarepa

"An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea." The Buddha

“Owing to ignorance of the rope the rope appears to be a snake; owing to ignorance of the Self the transient state arises of the individualized, limited, phenomenal aspect of the Self.”  Guru Nanak

    //Then do you understand and accept the interconnectedness of humankind?

    Do you feel yourself "interconnected" with a fellow dude of your age, similar background, working and life experience... whose grandchildren came and sluuuujhtered blaaaady traglodites -- pahhlestinians???

    This post is NOT about interconnectedness. It is about trump's moronic tariff increases on Canada. And how a wiser and much more intelligent Carney responded.

    However, in the interest of congeniality I'll respond to your post

    1) Yes I do
    2) In fact I feel the deep interconnectedness with all beings. As well as with all creatures and non creatures. Life is life. All life springs from the source of all life. Call it aliveness,god, nature, whatever you like.
    3) Yes, the Palestinians are but my brothers and sisters living in a different geographical location. Same with all oher people everywhere.
    4) That does not mean I must approve of or accept the injustice and inequality I see.

    And finally, you cannot read my mind or feelings and your final closing attempt to do so is merely your ignorant attempt at slighting me. It has no affect on me whatsoever.

    Now you has a nice day.

Scalise - Face of the GOP?...

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Is this what the party of Lincoln has turned into? WASHINGTON — Speaker John A. Boehner on Tuesday expressed “full confidence” in Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 3 Republican leader in the House, as he sought to quell a racially charged controversy shaking the party after Mr. Scalise confirmed that he had addressed a white supremacist group a dozen years ago. Mr. Boehner’s statement of support was his first public comment since the news broke on Monday night, a period filled with calls from some Republican and conservative commentators, as well as Democrats, for Republican leaders to shove Mr. Scalise from the leadership post. The flap roiled Republicans just as they were poised for a celebratory takeover of Congress when the new session opens next week. “More than a decade ago, Representative Scalise made an error in judgment, and he was right to acknowledge it was wrong and inappropriate,” Mr. Boehner said. “Like many...

Coming Together is a Two Way Street

I am laughing my proverbial arse off. After spending a fair amount of time on left,  or perhaps they would prefer the tag progressive leaning  blogs, reading the constant belittling, name calling, insulting and often vulgar characterizations of almost  anything they disagree with, which of course is everything conservative , I am not surprised to learn of a Anti Tea Party movement. Before going any further however I must be fair and balanced. There are a few lefties whose views and opinions are deserving of consideration and I would be amongst the first to advise everyone, including conservatives, to do so. I shall not drop any names here but those of whom I am speaking of know who you are. And any conservative  whose mind is open enough to be challenged by smart lefties probably know who am speaking of as well. Another thing I have noticed about the left, or progressives is their tendency toward elitism and snobbery. I hav...

Independent Conservatism

I have, for many years, considered myself to be an independent conservative . Asked by some just what that means I would reply it implies I believe in the radical political views held by the founding fathers. Men of enlightened thinking who personified  "The Age of Reason." There have been many occasions I have been brought to task for pointing to the wisdom of  such giants as Washington, Jefferson, Paine, Franklin... the list could go on but for a lack of time. The heart of  the argument used is these are ghosts from the grave and thus bear no relevancy to the present. Nothing could be further from the truth. The intellectual giants that gave us The Declaration of Independence, formed our Republic, and gave us  The Constitution of the United States of America are as relevant today as they where 233 years ago. For it is their philosophy of governance that lives on today through ...

Does the Election Matter? Historical Data Indictes Not....

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny As America moves closer towards a collectivist society, a movement that has been supported by rEpublican and dEmocrat Presidents and Congresses alike, one should ask themselves the question... Does it really matters who is elected President November 6th? Observing present realities, and looking at the national trend for the past 100 plus years it should be obvious to everyone that socialism has been, and continues to be on the march. Irrespective of which political party holds power, who the President is, or whether the Supreme Court is liberal or conservative, socialism has been steadily woven into the fabric of this once capitalist and individualistic nation. Whether or not the majority understands why this is occurring, or the dangers it presents to property rights, freedom, and individual liberties is debatable. For freedom and liberty to survive as this nation (rightly) understood the concepts at the time of its fou...

Could Non Citizens Determine the Mid Term Election?...

How many non-citizens participate in U.S. elections? More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. Furthermore, some of these non-citizens voted. Our best guess, based upon extrapolations from the portion of the sample with a verified vote, is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010. Above from The Washington Post's Monkey Cage . Could it be true?
