		<title>Dropping the r-bomb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The bourgeois tyranny of the fully-abled
It was revealed by The Wall Street Journal in late January that at a private strategy session in August, Rahm Emanuel, Barack Obama&#8217;s chief of staff, blasted the internally divisive political ploy proposed by some aggressively left-wing Democrats as &#8220;f&#8212;&#8212;-g retarded.&#8221;
An intense brouhaha, with disability advocacy groups, Special Olympics spokespeople [...]

		<title>Michael Ignatieff’s Liberals Refuse to Stand up for Canadian Sealers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
For generations, thousands of coastal Canadian sealers have relied on the seal hunt for income and ultimately, their livelihood. 
 
While Michael Ignatieff claims to support the seal hunt, he is in fact attempting to play both sides of the issue. A senior Liberal, Mac Harb, announced on Tuesday that he intends to reintroduce his bill calling [...]

		<title>The Breyer Patch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Justice Stephen Breyer was one of the four dissenting voices in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the landmark Supreme Court case ruling that the Second Amendment right to bear arms is an individual right, rather than a collective right, which merely attaches to service in a state militia. On page 35 of his 44 [...]

		<title>My thoughts on the Jaffer story</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With this being the lead story on National Newswatch, I suppose many of you will be curious to hear my thoughts. So here goes&#8230;
1) I&#8217;ve said for a long time that I&#8217;m a strong supporter of mandatory minimums for violent crimes, not all crimes. (at least not that I can recall offhand)
2) Having said that, [...]

		<title>The University of Notre Shame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s understandable that student newspapers at public universities are left-leaning. The advisors of the papers are usually left-leaning and they often have a left-leaning administration leaning on them. So their coverage of issues like abortion and homosexuality is often skewed. But private religious universities once provided a safe haven for those who wished to express [...]

		<title>This Puts Things in Perspective for Me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Normally, I don&#8217;t spout off on my personal life, most people are rightfully bored by it. But tomorrow, I face a huge exam and I feel a need for some perspective. The video below puts things in perspective for me, so I hope you are blessed by it as I have been.

		<description><![CDATA[
HOW IS THIS BUSINESS?
These are stories in the &#8220;Business&#8221; section of the weekend paper!
The liberal-left media has so blurred the lines between GOVERNMENT and BUSINESS that they&#8217;re now apparently pathologically incapable of telling the difference. Or they&#8217;re doing this on purpose.&#160; 
Reading the &#8220;Business&#8221; section here is like reading the paper in the old Soviet [...]

		<title>Tyranny of but</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Does freedom matter?
The short answer to that question, when I have asked various acquaintances of what I would call a &#8220;mildly liberal,&#8221; or middle-of-the-road disposition, is: &#8220;Yes, but &#8230;&#8221;
This &#8220;but&#8221; may correspond to any of many suggested qualifications, and that is the first instructive thing. At best it is freedom versus order, or freedom versus [...]

&#8220;We offered to hear from Canadians on this issue and they have already spoken loud and clear. They overwhelmingly do not want to open the issue. The Government will not proceed any further to change our national anthem.&#8221;

		<title>Stakeholder reaction to the 2010 budget</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
National Citizens Coalition
Instead of fixing the job crisis as it promised in yesterday&#8217;s Throne Speech, the Harper government appears to be coasting on last year&#8217;s stimulus budget, offering no meaningful new initiatives to get Canadians working again.
Today&#8217;s budget measures are a good step in the right direction, but more needs to be done to put [...]
