482 – Dr. Jordan Peterson and the war of the words: The corruption of language and thought

Dec 082016

Dr Jordan Peterson of the University of Toronto has earned the world’s attention – and our respect and admiration – for standing up and speaking out against the irrationality and destructive ideologies of the so-called “gender warriors” who are attacking him. Far from being “warriors,” they are really leftist thugs pretending to have a cause – one that they are unable to articulate or verbalize.

Being as confused and ignorant about language as they are about their own sexuality, “gender warriors” must make up words in an attempt to reflect the unreality in which they exist. As a consequence their words are unreal and no one can even remember or recite them all, let alone relate to them. The “gender warriors” are victims of their own making. Now they want to victimize everyone else.

Unfortunately, their self-imposed personal tragedies are now being imposed on everyone else by our leftist establishment and politicians. This should not be surprising since ideologies of the left are as unreal as the words they must force us all to use. Canadian and provincial laws have been enacted that make it a criminal offence to not recognize many of the more than 39 various make-believe words that have been created to define the indefinable.

This is not a “war” about “gender.” Nor is it a war over “free speech,” though that is certainly a critical front in the war. But the real greater conflict is about speech and language itself, and the planned conscious destruction of one’s ability to think and reason. Continue reading »

481 – Trudeaumaniac / Reality check

Comments Off

Dec 012016

With his father Pierre, it was Trudeaumania. With Justin, it’s more like Trudeaumaniac. On the heels of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro‘s death, Canada’s Prime Minister made that extra effort to show the world that he is in serious need of a reality check. Like father, like son?

From the implications of Justin Trudeau’s admiration for dictatorships and dictators, to his penchant for “proportional representation,” these are signals that should alarm any freedom-minded nations and individuals.

Here is the statement by the Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, on the death of former Cuban President Fidel Castro issued from Antananarivo, Madagascar, November 26, 2016:

It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba’s longest serving President.

“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation. Continue reading »

GULLIVER’S TRAVAILS

U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has vowed to “make America great again.” Just what does “greatness” look like? How will we know if he succeeds or fails?

On this, Thanksgiving Day in America, it is certainly a “great” day to reflect on just what it is that makes America “great.”

All nations have the potential to be “great” nations, but most unfortunately choose to become like the Lilliputians in the classic Gulliver’s Travels, dedicated to bringing greatness down to their level. Has the United States become a victim of this trend, or will it always rise above the Lilliputians?

Joining us for a second round of post-U.S. election discussion on today’s Just Right are Western University’s Associate Professor of Political Science Salim Mansur, and John Thompson of the Strategic Intelligence Group. Together, the picture they paint of what makes a “great” country looks something like this: Continue reading »

479 – The election of Donald Trump | Salim Mansur & John Thompson

TRUMP TOWERS—above his critics.

“I never doubted that Trump would win,” declares Western University’s Associate Professor of Political Science Salim Mansur, who has been accurately following, describing, and predicting the ascent of Donald Trump on Just Right since Trump first appeared on the GOP stage.

“The media establishment cannot be trusted with the truth,” adds John Thompson of the Strategic Intelligence Group, who likewise has been accurately following, describing, and predicting the destruction wrought by post-modernist thinking during his past appearances on Just Right.

Now back on the show together for the first time since the US election, our two powerhouse guests tell it like it is, like it was, and how it likely will be, given the reality of the situation. Tragically, reality runs entirely counter to the narrative offered by the so-called establishment media, which has become the biggest loser in the U.S. presidential election – an election which they should have reported, not attempted to control.

478 – Alt-Right Alt-Wrong / Collectivism – Individualism – Freedom

WHY HAS FREEDOM BEEN “LEFT-RIGHT” OUT? With Donald Trump now the U.S. president-elect, don’t expect the Trump haters to let up on their hatreds.

Unable to articulate any objective reasons for hating Trump, unwilling to accept defeat with the grace they demanded of Trump, unable to understand the forces that drive political realities, completely ignorant of Trump’s platform and agenda (which we covered in detail on last week’s show) Trump’s critics resort to the use of labels they also do not understand. Ironically, the labels they use apply to themselves: “racist” “sexist” “nazi” “fascist” and the usual array of collectivist words and constant expletives used to attack the messenger in an attempt to hide a truth that they cannot defeat.

The “Trump Derangement Syndrome” as we have called it on previous broadcasts of Just Right, continues unabated as a self-inflicted handicap on the part of its sufferers. Ironically, the hatred generated by the syndrome is not really directed at Donald Trump himself. It is directed at what has been broadly – and mistakenly – called the “right”.

This is a truth we have learned from personal experience and which continues to be demonstrated to us daily. Given that the name of our freedom-oriented weekly radio show is called “Just Right,” that’s pretty much all it takes for us to be irrationally attacked in the very same way as is Donald Trump. Just check out past posts made by such critics on our Facebook page for the abundance of evidence. One thing these critics will never offer is an objective reason for their hatreds.

OBAMAdon’tCARE – If You’re Sick
Does Donald Trump care?

With an “average” increase of 25% in health care insurance premiums slated for Americans under Obamacare next year (2017), the inconvenient truth about Obama’s government imposed health care “insurance” plan is this: Obamacare was a scheme designed for those who care more about votes than about health.

Back in Canada, the folly of state monopoly health care in the province of Ontario is becoming increasingly visible as more and more Ontarians begin to publicly tell their stories about their personal health care experiences within the state imposed system.

Ontario’s once gold-plated “Ontario Health Insurance Plan” (OHIP) is now dysfunctional and stretched beyond serviceable limits. In Ontario today, OHIP has become “O NO HIP Replacements” for months or years on end.

Donald Trump has called Canada’s single payer health care system “a disaster,” and as Canadians living in the heart of socialized health care country, we regret that we must agree with Mr. Trump on this count. Continue reading »

476 – Climate change’s CO2 diversion | Dave Plumb

Comments Off

Oct 272016

Are you skeptical about climate change and CO2? If so, consider yourself in denial. At least that’s how proponents of “carbon pricing”, “carbon taxes,” “carbon trading” and of all the other variants of carbonated climate politics have framed the debate.

Having thus dismissed “climate change deniers” as both irrelevant and morally deficient, no further discussion is warranted. The debate (which never occurred) is closed. The “science is settled.”

What those who say “the science is settled” really mean is that “the Politics is settled, and we’re going ahead with our political agenda no matter what science has to say about it.”

What those who say “the science is settled” also really mean is that “science” is irrelevant to them. Since science and knowledge are never “settled,” to suggest otherwise is clear evidence of just how wrong those who utter such nonsense really can be.

Ironically, in labeling the skeptics “deniers”, it is the accusers who are the active deniers.
