…A judge has ordered President Barack Obama to appear in court in Atlanta for a hearing on a complaint that says Obama isn’t a natural-born citizen and can’t be president…’
Now watch the community organiser demonstrate that the law doesn’t apply to the ruling elite..

are a pack of clowns. I applied for their ‘phone and internet service and finally, three weeks later I got a letter from them telling me that they’ve completed the “assessment process” and they are unable to transfer my service because I don’t have a credit history. I rang and pointed out that I don’t have a credit history because we pay cash for what we buy.
The telebimbo’s response? “oh well, you’re one of the lucky ones and we can’t help you” !!
Evidently, this company sends its staff to Occupy encampments for training….and asking for a cash deposit is just too damn mentally challenging.

‘..A rush of iwi claims for customary title of the foreshore and seabed under the government’s new Marine and Coastal Area Bill are expected over the coming months. The problem is that because the law allows the deals to be done in secret, the public may not know what is being claimed until it is too late!
Last year under the official information act, it was revealed that Te Rarawa will seek title for Shipwreck Bay in the Far North. Shipwreck Bay is one of New Zealand’s best surfing spots. On the East Coast Ngati Pahauwera has claimed the beaches north of Napier and south of Wairoa. And also on the East Coast, Ngati Porou Ki Hauraki wants customary title over Kennedy Bay and Mataroa Bay on the Coromandel. And Te Whanau a Apanui wants title over an area in the Eastern Bay of Plenty. Iwi that meet the test could charge commercial operators, veto developments and impose wahi tapu to ban public access. ..’       NZCPR        

‘An annual international survey on house prices is pointing to difficulties in the post-earthquake rebuilding of Christchurch as an example of failed urban governance and planning.
……..Christchurch had already been “on its knees” in development and construction terms at the time of the first earthquake in September 2010, due to a seriously dysfunctional local authority that, in deliberately withholding fringe land supply, allowed a housing bubble to start in 2002…’

‘Since 2001, Alberta has seen a remarkable expansion of provincial revenues, due mostly to rising oil and natural gas prices. Even excluding health, education and welfare transfers from Ottawa, Alberta’s provincial revenues have risen 56% in the past decade, despite the worldwide economic downturn.
So where has all this additional money gone? According to the U of C study, public sector wages have “consumed 95% of the increase in provincial revenues over the past decade.” For every new dollar Alberta has brought in — nearly $11-billion extra a year — 95¢ has gone into the pockets of civil servants and other public-sector workers…’
And note..this is a supposedly Conservative provincial government! It’s not a disease just of the left–it’s the disease of government itself. There is a new ruling class–the grey drones behind desks, destroying liberty and using your money to do it. They and government–any government–are joined at the hip, working in tandem to enslave us all.

‘An anonymous Gates of Vienna reader in England sent us the following transcript of a conversation in a pub.
Something rather strange happened last night. Firstly, I was in a pub, which is in itself unusual. Secondly, I found myself in conversation with some rather earnest liberal types. The conversation turned to politics, which led eventually to a rather silly looking woman (RSLW) saying that she hated the BNP.
PW: Really, why is that?
RSLW: Because they are horrible, fascist, skinhead brutes.
PW: I see. And what is your opinion of Muslim fundamentalists? Do you hate them also?
RSLW: No, why would I hate them?
It gets better–an insight into liberal idiocy.

‘..The mainstream press does not want to discuss last night’s standing ovation because it shakes their worldview. They were supposed to be able to control the narrative; they were supposed to be able to corral the sheep. And last night, the sheep indicated that they’re no longer willing to be herded, no longer going to allow their own moral judgments to be exploited in a time when the nation is facing serious issues. They’ve decided they’re going to make up their own minds, thank you, about who they think is up to dealing with those issues…’

‘…If manliness, a necessary precursor of the virtue of chivalry, is obsolete, why would a crew member risk his life to uphold it?  My friend and colleague Carrie Lukas once observed that “gentlemanly conduct isn’t about the women at all. It’s about the men and their sense of themselves.”  Today men are discouraged from feeling that there is any intrinsic value in being and acting like a man.  If there is no pride, no sense of particular duty to a high cause, why, then, would they possibly surrender a seat on a lifeboat?..’

Of course, the crew member is paid and trained to do a job and he should do it. But that doesn’t apply to the male passengers. The problem with “women can do whatever men can do, but better” (to quote just one idiot feminist slogan) is that men just might take them at their word…..
