This is the smoking gun that the Liberal party kept saying didn't exist during the election. Yet another crime and attempt to hide it. Brison knew full well that he had emailed this leak and of course kept quiet about it and no doubt prefered to repeat how the Tories and the RCMP had no basis for this investigation. He should be arrested and charged. My only regret is that this information is being made public. Brison is no doubt busy at the shredder and strategizing with a team of lawyers to further block and detour justice. They should have kept his email quiet until they showed up with a warrant at his office and carted him away. IF Shapiro keeps out of this he should be fired immediately, once and all proving his inability to investigate anything Liberal

It's not my favourite posting style, Argus. But my point was that I probably wouldn't have to go back very far...oh look, this morning to find you engaging in the same kind of discourse you would cry to the moderator about: Perhaps you feel bad that you can't get through a debate without calling your opponent a moron. So you blame them for being stupid, or the forum for allowing the discourse to degenerate. Bubber, if we looked hard enough we could find examples from a lot of posters here. You do seem to tend to reach for sarcasm and biting remarks more than some, though others do as well. I know you don't mean anything personal by it, but maybe we could all just try not to be the first one to reach for name calling or whatever. After all, it takes less wit to call names than come up with a counter point.

Perhaps Israel should be supported in the same manner it supports the 'West'...sell arms and training to both sides of 'terrorism conflicts', ignore and/or perpetuate human rights violations, and cry 'discrimination' at every turn, even when not applicable. This is a typical response when some are confronted with the hate crimes against Jews that are multiplying in Europe. Transferring blame. Rationalization. The Jews had it coming. Muslims are being painted with their own actions, which now regularly include murdering Jews. I still think that murdering is wrong. I don't have to go back over the last 500 or 1000 years and count up the score between Jews and Muslims. When Jews kill Muslims its wrong and when Muslims kill Jews it's wrong.

The teacher may be good or bad, but Hitler gets waaaay too much respect around here. I really don't get it, like he was simply misunderstood or something. Hitler had his good points? Ask the Gypsies and Jews and Christians and mentally handicapped how good he was. Ask the Poles and the French and the Russians what kind of a masterful politician he was. Ask Germans who lived in pre and post war Germany how they liked him. Anyone who says, "I'm not saying Bush and Hitler are exactly the same, obviously they're not. OK? But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they use.", is saying he thinks they are similar. Like I said, beyond stupid. What's on all of the other tapes? The school board disagrees with you, they suspended his ass. Do any of you remember the case of a teacher here in B.C. who wrote several letters to the editor of the small paper in his town? I believe he talked about the gay issue in traditional terms, shall we say. He got suspended for one month without pay for it. And this was from the privacy of his own home. This teacher in the states is crossing a line. I don't know if he should be fired, I'd have to listen to the hours and hours of tape. But there are things you can't say, as a teacher, to your class. My wife is a teacher, and brother are there ever subjects that are actionable.

one possible cause is the fact that we just went through a barn burner of an election with the stinkin' Liberal party's record of wasting billions promising the moon and, and... uh, never mind! Seriously, things probably get a little shrill around election time and the emotions respond accordingly. Hopefully we will all simmer down a bit now and make allowances for viewpoints we disagree with.

Except for the fact that he characterized comments Bush made in his State of the Union speech as similar to what HITLER used to say. That is not 'challenging' your students to think for themselves. That is someone who can't hide their hate for Bush, and is offering the Hitler comment as a truth. Making Hitler comparisons is beyond stupid. And this is only one tape. What's on all of the others? Remember, the Colorado school board involved has already supended him. Whether some people can process this or not, they are not investigating him for no reason.

I hereby call on Layton to stop being a hypocrite and using private care while pretending to champion our healthcare system.

Uh, no. He needs to rack up 10's of billions of dollars in waste and mismanagement first, as well as have a MAJOR scandal in Quebec which may send them over the top towards separating from Canada. For starters.

Man, she's got a way with words, doesn't she? Even if you hate her perspective, you've got to admit she can really nail Hollywood.

The Canadian media is rightwing? Shall we consider their lock step coverage of gay marriage in canada? How about with environmental issues: SUVs, Kyoto, climate change and the like. All from a liberal left of center the sky is falling perspective. How about the U.S. in general, that 'right wing red neck' land of Christians. How about the coverage of the Muslim cartoons, a huge story that stayed in the media for weeks. Even Europe media outlets showed them. Our Canadian media covers everything from a lefty view. You, my friend, are out of touch with reality. But that's okay. I used to think the media was fair and balanced back before I finished college. Time will broaden your perspective.

Hey, uh, Teddy. It sounds like you've come down with a NASTY case of post envy, although I'm not sure if it's related to penis envy. You get paid a lot to see yourself in print, eh? Sound a little insecure about it though. Perhaps you shouldn't take yourself so seriously.

The teacher made comparisons with Bush's state of the union remarks and things Hilter used to say. The Colorado school district involved, certainly no bastion of conservative philosophy, has suspended him while they investigate. No doubt the kid has plenty of tapes and a willingness to share. The teacher has even decided not to sue the school board over the matter. If a liberal school board is so concerned about the matter that they have suspended the teacher, it must be bad. Drea, was it you that found it 'priceless' that the right is disagreeing among themselves? Watch and learn, my friend. On the right there is always room for difference of opinion. I believe the claws would come out if a known lefty came out in support of Bush. They certainly come out for the opinions of Michelle Malkin or Sean Hannity.

http://www.zogby.com/iraqwarpoll.cfm This vindicates what Congressman John Murtha for what he's been saying for months. Even the US troops see the sense of pulling out. This shows that Murtha does speak for the troops. Wow, gerry, you really have a hate on going for the American military involvement in Iraq. This is the fourth or fifth thread you've started in a row with this theme. It seems to really be bugging you and unfortunately it won't change no matter how many threads there are on it. I suggest taking a little time off, maybe blow off some steam, and you'll come back with a better vibe.

Uh, no. See you've done it again. In B.C. photo radar is banned. You were just making assumptions I suppose. It seems my slippery slope comments struck home with you. Anytime you need some conservative viewpoints explained, I'd be happy to help.

For a teacher to bring up world issues and provoke the students to think is not wrong, to be ranting and making comparisons with Hitler is getting close to what we call in Canada hate speech. This guy obviously hates Bush, which is fine, but he's trying to get his students to hate him too. If he did that with the gay topic we'd all have no problem denouncing it, but since it's Bush, some can't see straight on the issue. At any rate, the teacher in question will now be monitoring his comments a little more carefully, and someone should observe the kid's grading to see if it suddenly takes a nose dive. Good for the kid though, you have to stand up to liberals or they will just walk all over your silence.

Gee, is that your version of a good come back Bub? Perhaps all that tokin' you've been doing (as you have mentioned in the past) has slowed your mental capacity. The body is a temple my friend, if you treat it as such you will find yourself in this particular situation less - having embarrassed yourself while being completely ignorant of the fact. Anyhoo, the slippery slope is a grand old argument that has served us conservatives well lo these many years, mostly because it's an accurate description of the way things are sometimes. Take speeding, for instance. In my community 50 kph is the limit on most streets. This used to be enforced and I can remember getting a few tickets for going several ks over. Somewhere along the way, so many people started falling to the temptation of speeding, that the cops realized their resources on this issue could not keep up and they seem to have allowed 60 to be the new 50. This is a slippery slope. Now I regularly get passed on all roads of two lanes each way when I merely go 60 kph. On sinple lane roads often times someones on my tail, giving me the hint that I'm out of step with reality. My point is this: The slippery slope of speed has gotten us to a place where the speeders do 65 to 75 in a 50 zone. There are many more accidents with injuries and deaths than there used to be in our community, all because of the speed issue. Whether you can wrap your head around the reality of the slippery slope issue or not, it's legitimate.

The Muslim position on the cartoons was that they were not to be printed. That is a simple statement of fact. As far as the media agenda goes, gays can do no wrong. Any time there is a gay demonstration or parade or whatever, the numbers reported attending are always way over estimated when compared to the police estimates. The gay marriage issue in Canada was covered by our media with a huge bias in favour of. That is not their job. There job is to report the news without bias. The media should treat everyone or group equally, but they don't. One example is the recent showing of old torture pictures in Iraq. These were of the original torture scandal of over a year ago. They were shown on the 6 o'clock news in color while I watched, a couple of weeks ago, simply because they were recently 'found'. And yet they won't show the cartoons, a world wide story which was in the news for weeks. That is bias. They are giving Muslims special treatment.

Yes, it's the Muslims who have a hate on for everyone who doesn't conform to them. And they have a hate on for each other. The majority of Muslims are killed by other Muslims, National Post reported on Wednesday I think. Europe is in the midst of a paradigm shift and will never be the same. And North America can't rescue them like we did in WWII.

It's interesting to note that our Canadian media supported the Muslim position in that they(media) refused to print the cartoons, even though the media is rapidly pro-everything gay. I suspect if a gay person gets attacked by Muslims in Canada, the gloves will come off, and Muslims will be portrayed as christians now are. And in all of this the sad thing is, actual news reporting takes a back seat to the media agenda.

Newbie, I can't believe you're watching conservative media!

Common sense? Ha! Common sense would have been to not start world riots over cartoons that you don't like. Common sense is not really that common.

Ah, the Dems. Always good for a chuckle. Until you get closer and see the mad as a hatter gleam in their eyes, or hear the Howard Dean scream!

But it's not the same as registering the car at all! A potential gun owner has a deep background check and if he fails on something he's not allowed to legally own a gun. Any shmuck can own a car. Again, it's trampling on the rights of people who own guns to force them to register them when they don't register criminals. Don't kid yourself, the Gun Registry does not sound 'good' to most Canadians. And criminals have shown a clever way around the gun registry - they DON'T BOTHER REGISTERING THEIR GUNS! And these are the people who will be shooting others, not law abiding citizens. We can 'work out all the kinks' of the gun registry all we want and we'll never get the criminals to register them, so the registry is ineffective and a waste of money. The Liberals were too proud to admit it was a black hole for money at the 1 billion mark and now we are at 2 billion or so. It's time to pull the plug. We need hard time for gun crimes. That means more prison space and legislation forcing judges to hand down the hard time. There are car thieves and drug grow op owners in the Vancouver area that have literally ten convictions or more who still get a slap on the wrist. Put them behind bars so they can't do the crime, force them to learn a trade while behind those bars and that will prove a deterent to young punks still smart enough to want to aviod prison. The rest will have to learn the hard way.

Well, that makes it clearer for me, although I've always known the gun registry was a waste of money since the gun owners that shoot people simply don't register their guns. But not registering criminals because of 'rights' issues, while registering gun owners kind of sounds like if you own a gun you're guilty until proven innocent, not to mention the fact that the criminal gets their rights respected over gun owners. Every now and then you here of a violent sex offender who is being released and all the cops can do is warn the public he's in the area. Can't register him, but watch out if you own a gun. What a country we live in.

And if that's the case, and I'm not saying it isn't, ask yourself this: Who has been more accepting of the other faith in their own countries in the context of this controversy, non-Muslims or Muslims? I would submit that the Muslim movement has been the aggressor and is now murdering Christians in some countries as they show complete intolerance of anything non-muslim.
