Megahighway
You think the 407 is a big achievement? Check out this sucker!
The Trans-Texas Corridor plan outlines a new vision for transportation in Texas. This proposed multi-use, statewide network of transportation routes will make driving safer, send hazardous cargo around populated areas, and sustain and enhance economic development.
I guess it’s true that everything is big in Texas.

Give the UN the boot
A campaign to get the UN out of the US. I am sure Canada would only be too pleased to bring them to, say, somewhere in Quebec? Hull, perhaps?
During the past several years, the threat facing the United States of America and much of the world from violent terrorist organizations has grown exponentially. While the United Nations is chartered to promote peace, its actions recently have made it an accessory to terrorist crimes.

Real Leader Watch
Bob MacDonald knows a real leader when he sees one...especially when contrasted against one who isn’t.
What a contrast: The decisive, blunt-spoken and even humorous George W. Bush and the dithering, sweating, nervously laughing Paul Martin.

Bush in Halifax
I find it amazing (and pleasing) that a couple of radio stations suspended programming to carry Bush’s speech.
I found it equally interesting that it takes a US President to bring up relevant Canadian PM history. GWB sure has great speech writers.
Your Prime Minister, McKenzie King, gave this answer: “We cannot defend our country and save our homes and families by waiting for the enemy to attack us. To remain on the defensive is the surest way to bring the war to Canada. Of course, we should protect our coasts and strengthen our ports and cities against attack,” but the Prime Minister went on to say, “we must also go out and meet the enemy before he reaches our shores. We must defeat him before he attacks us, before our cities are laid to waste.” McKenzie King was correct then, and we must always remember the wisdom of his words today.
Overall, the visit went over quite well.

Welcome GWB
It’s worthy to note that since Ottawa’s Liberals are finally learning to be hospitable to the leader of the free world, the most memorable quote was from GWB himself.
Bush says his reception was warm and hospitable. And at a news conference, he offered his thanks to Canadians who waved to him—as he put it—“with all five fingers.”
Maybe if Canada stops hacking at the Bush administration they may get some of their issues solved.
Good to see the rent-a-crowds were essentially a bust.

We’re Not Sorry
Me neither. Get your photos in here.
A majority of Americans who voted reelected President Bush on Nov. 2nd.
There is no reason for us to apologize to the rest of the world because of our belief in Freedom and Democracy.
This website is for those of us who want to say to our fellow Americans and to the rest of the World that we believe in President Bush and we believe in his agenda.

lgf: Bush 286, Kerry 252
The final tally, thanks to LGF.
Final electoral vote count: Bush 286, Kerry 252.
This map clearly shows that the US is Bush country.
The hicks speak
Coren says Middle America spoke up, and elected Bush.
No, of course I don’t mean that a tedious movie star actually changed international events. I mean that he personifies why George Bush and the Republicans won the election.

The President’s day
To bed at 5am, up at 7am. What a day.
Not first, though. Let’s see. I think you all are aware, last night he went to sleep around 5:00 a.m. He woke up around 7:00 a.m., and he arrived in the Oval Office this morning at 8:00 a.m. Former President Bush was with him this morning. I know Dan Bartlett stuck his head in there shortly after that to visit with the President.
Democratic seal
It’s all over
With 100% reporting in Ohio, it appears to be all over but the crying and concession speech.
4 more years!

Bush will win
It’s clear the Bush will win. So let’s call it a Bush win.
Here’s something interesting emailed to me…
At about the time our original 13 states adopted their new constitution, in the year 1787, Alexander Tyler (a Scottish history professor at The University of Edinborough) had this to say about “The Fall of The Athenian Republic” some 2,000 years prior.
“A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship.”
“The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:
>From Bondage to spiritual faith;
>From spiritual faith to great courage;
>From courage to liberty;
>From liberty to abundance;
>From abundance to complacency;
>From complacency to apathy;
>From apathy to dependence;
>From dependence back into bondage.”
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the most recent Presidential election:
Population of counties won by: Gore=127 million; Bush=143 million
Square miles of land won by:Gore=580,000; Bush=2,2427,000
States won by:Gore=19; Bush=29
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Gore=13.2; Bush=2.1
Professor Olson adds: “In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the tax-paying citizens of this great country. Gore’s territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off government welfare...”
Olson believes the U.S. is now somewhere between the “complacency and “apathy” phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of democracy; with some 40 percent of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency"phase.
Apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Buchanan for Bush
Buchanan says it’s time for the Republicans to rally behind their leader, no matter their differences.
Yet, in the contest between Bush and Kerry, I am compelled to endorse the president of the United States. Why? Because, while Bush and Kerry are both wrong on Iraq, Sharon, NAFTA, the WTO, open borders, affirmative action, amnesty, free trade, foreign aid, and Big Government, Bush is right on taxes, judges, sovereignty, and values. Kerry is right on nothing.

Consistently inconsistent
Buchanan writes that Kerry is all over the map with his views - they seem to change by the minute.
Letting his face betray his feelings was a Bush blunder. But his sentiments are understandable, for he is frustrated almost to incoherence by the endless contradictions of John Kerry.

Bring them all home
Bring them home from Korea too, says Buchanan. Makes sense to me.
At the close of his address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars a week ago, President Bush announced a redeployment of 70,000 U.S. troops and 100,000 family members and civilian employees from overseas bases.
Tough advice
Fred has some tough advice for the growing legion of wimps out there.
But none of this will work because too many people want to be diapered, pampered, and given things. Shutting up, studying, working, dealing with minor irritations, or manifesting any form of vertebracy, is out of tune with the national character

Start them young
Some Bush supporters are really young.
One of the most popular items people like to send us are photos of their babies out supporting the President. We thought we would share a few with you.

Make sure to vote
Thanks to Republicans in Canada, I’ve got everything lined up to send to my home state to register to vote. Time is running out, as they will be mailing out the ballots in mid-September. Go register!

Stunned smile
Did anyone else see the press conference of NJ Gov McGreevey, where his wife was standing beside him with the most disturbing of smiles? Apparently so.
Matos McGreevey, 38, didn’t flinch during the governor’s painful coming-out speech. An unreadable half-smile pasted on her face, she stood silently by the governor’s side, at times holding his hand.
The only way I can imagine her smiling at this huge farce was that she was on some mind altering drug. Otherwise, being beside him smiling would be the last place on earth I’d be. Loyalty can only go so far before it makes no sense whatsoever.

I don’t understand
The Last Amazon doesn’t understand Clinton-mania. I don’t either.
I admit that I have never understood the appeal of former US President, William Jefferson Clinton. I could never feel his pain.
What did he actually do for the Presidency, besides sully its image?

I’m sick of it too
Coren is sick of the America bashing. Me too. I fight it at work and with certain relatives all the time. I’m afraid the CBC/Toronto Star/Globe mindset is pervasive throughout Toronto. I doubt it’s as bad in Alberta.
But I have now written an updated version of that column because, frankly, I am sick of the smugness, the hypocrisy and the sheer hatred evinced by so many people towards the United States.
I’ve had enough of certain risible Canadians inflating themselves by claiming superiority over their southern neighbours.
No income tax?
No income tax in the US? That’s a lot of unemployed accountants.
A domestic centerpiece of the Bush/GOP agenda for a second Bush term is getting rid of the Internal Revenue Service, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Could the GST have been trend setting? Many Conservatives like me thought it was a good idea, considering what it was replacing.

Wal-mart good, Canada bad
Here’s a story that may explain American attitudes towards Canadians.
The elderly woman walked into the Kinston Wal-Mart on Tuesday afternoon a week ago and asked to send some money to Canada.
Arctic fronts and tele-scammers, not to mention Bush-bashers.
Good to see minimum wage people with values.

Pipe dream stem cells
Little Ronny Reagan made a speech last night. His delivery was good and his passion there, but his science was way off. Way off.
Though embryonic stem cell research advocates euphemistically refer to the current state of research as an “early stage,” the unfortunate reality is the goal of embryonic stem cell therapies is, at this point, more accurately described as a pipe dream.
