Corruption doesn't matter anymore, that is the lesson of Ontario's election. Voters were given three distinct options on Thursday and they opted to reward a tired, corrupt and incompetent government rather than turn course to the left or the right. Despite police investigations into the goings on at Queen's Park and the involvement of Kathleen Wynne in the decision to squander $1 billion on gas plants that were never built just to save Liberal seats, voters chose to stick with Wynne and her Liberals. Over the last 18 months in Ottawa the Senate has been rocked by spending scandals like the one involving Mike Duffy. Duffy has been kicked out of the Conservative caucus and suspended from the Senate over allegations that he fiddled with expenses to the tune of $90,000. The entire Senate's reputation has taken a hit over this, Stephen Harper's Conservatives have felt the scandal in opinion polling and Canadians from coast to coast are outraged. But in Ontario a $1 billion scandal with the premier's finger prints on it has been overlooked. Are you kidding me? You could have 1,111 Duffy scandals before you would catch up to Wynne's Liberals on the gas plant scandal alone. Put another way, the gas plant scandal is the equivalent of four sponsorship scandals.

According to Politico.com: President Barack Obama said Tuesday that it was "stunning to me" that Congress did not take real action to tighten gun laws following the late 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. "My biggest frustration so far is that this society has not been willing to take some basic steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who can do just unbelievable damage," Obama said during a question-and-answer session hosted by microblogging platform Tumblr that came hours after a school shooting in Oregon. http://visiontoamerica.com/17838/barack-obama-confesses-hatred-of-the-second-amendment/ Liberals are Racists Racism is a loathsome and stupid thing. Yet those who pretend to hate it most are often happy to overlook it in their friends and allies, while falsely accusing their opponents of being racist. People like me, with generally conservative views, often face nasty censorship, based on the slander that we're really secret Nazis. Yet if the Left's heroes behave in a way that is openly racist, they get away with it. I am tired of this. In the past a fear of such baseless, hypocritical smears may have made me over-cautious - but not any longer. The pressure group Migra ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZsLN_mRpMY
