The Newest Domestic Security Threat: Drowning Immigrants
As Lorne Gunter says, “OMG! Say it isn’t so!”
A new study shows that immigrants are more than four times more likely to be unable to swim than people born in Canada. As a result, they are at a greater risk for drowning, according to the Ipsos Reid Public Affairs study commissioned by the Lifesaving Society.The findings released on Thursday confirm what drowning-prevention experts have suspected for nearly a decade, Lifesaving Society public education director Barbara Byers said.
“For the first time, we have scientific, evidence-based data to support what our hypothesis was: that new Canadians have a higher drowning rate,” she said.
This goes right into the “issues I don’t care about” stack, in case anyone was wondering.
Speaking of drowning foreigners…
Newsflash: Democrats are Stupid
Peggy West is your average Democrat. She is a Milwaukee County Supervisor. Her county, like many in the United States, voted on boycotting Arizona over SB1070, the border enforcement law. In debating the proposed boycott, West made the following point:
If this was Texas, which is a state that is directly on the border with Mexico, and they were calling for a measure like this saying that they had a major issue with undocumented people flooding their borders, I would have to look twice at this. But this is a state that is a ways removed from the border.
Where does the Democratic Party find people this stupid? My favorite part of the video is when Jim Rice, who opposes the boycott, said, “I just want to assure my colleague that Arizona is a state that does in fact share a border with Mexico.” West later claimed that she misspoke. I guess “but this is a state (Arizona) that is a ways removed from the border (with Mexico)” can be misinterpreted.
In this story we have yet another example of a Democrat not understanding the situation in Arizona, yet still willing to make a sweeping judgment. Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano all could not be bothered reading the 10 page bill from Arizona, yet they felt free to condemn the law. In fact, despite their willful ignorance, the Obama administration has made it clear that they intend to sue Arizona for defending its border. In the above example, Peggy West doesn’t even know where Arizona is, yet she feels fully comfortable voting for a boycott. Maybe she’s angling for a post in the Obama administration – she clearly has the right disposition and the requisite intelligence.
Jon Voight Rocks
I had the opportunity to meet Jon Voight at the premiere for An American Carol at the 2008 Republican National Convention and chat with him for a bit. He’s a really cool guy, unashamed of his conservatism. So, you can imagine how happy I was when I saw this:
An open letter from actor Jon Voight to President Obama:
June 22, 2010
President Obama:
You will be the first American president that lied to the Jewish people, and the American people as well, when you said that you would defend Israel, the only Democratic state in the Middle East, against all their enemies. You have done just the opposite. You have propagandized Israel, until they look like they are everyone’s enemy — and it has resonated throughout the world. You are putting Israel in harm’s way, and you have promoted anti-Semitism throughout the world.
You have brought this to a people who have given the world the Ten Commandments and most laws we live by today. The Jewish people have given the world our greatest scientists and philosophers, and the cures for many diseases, and now you play a very dangerous game so you can look like a true martyr to what you see and say are the underdogs. But the underdogs you defend are murderers and criminals who want Israel eradicated.
You have brought to Arizona a civil war, once again defending the criminals and illegals, creating a meltdown for good, loyal, law-abiding citizens. Your destruction of this country may never be remedied, and we may never recover. I pray to God you stop, and I hope the people in this great country realize your agenda is not for the betterment of mankind, but for the betterment of your politics.
With heartfelt and deep concern for America and Israel,
Jon Voight
Cloward-Piven Strategy
Barry and the gang sure have their priorities in order. The gulf oil spill? Not doing much about that besides orchestrating a shakedown and finding other people to blame. The economy? Since the porkulus bill passed and Obama engaged his “laser-like focus” on jobs, unemployment has shot up to 10%, where it has remained. Spending? Every day it seems like some new harebrained spending scheme is hatched in the White House. Thankfully, the Obama administration has identified one serious problem: illegal aliens are not getting paid their fair share:
To clarify, you did just see Obama’s Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis, tell illegal aliens that there is a taxpayer funded hot-line they can call to ensure that they are being paid in accordance with the law. Seeing how illegal aliens, by definition, are in violation of the law, why is the government assisting them at all? Shouldn’t ICE show up if illegals call a government phone number and identify themselves as being in the country illegally? If Charles Manson had called the IRS hot-line would they have just assisted him?
The Obama administration could not be more out if touch with the American people if they tried. The economy is in shambles. The Democrats have greatly increased government spending, and continue to raise the minimum wage. At the same time, Democrats are encouraging more people to accept government ‘assistance.’ You’d almost think that this was a deliberate plan by the Obama administration to overload the system, cause an even greater disaster, then use the resulting calamity to “fundamentally transform” the United States. Now where have I heard that before?
"I don't care if it's true; it's racist!"
A while back, renowned psychology professor Philippe Rushton of the University of Western Ontario was criticized within the academic community for publishing a work culminating a lot of the research he’d been doing for years. Essentially, he proved that white people are smarter than black people; and Asians are smarter than white people. His research accurately took into consideration things like test scores, aptitude tests, and other assessments, it also looked at measurable qualities like brain size, gestation period, maturity rate, etc.
That didn’t matter though! The university attempted to get rid of him, the premier of the province of Ontario attempted to have him discredited. All this happening until other scientists finally had the balls to step up and say, “but he’s right.”
Now, it looks like a daring individual in government of Canada decided to challenge political correctness and use, well, facts.
Prosaically titled “Social and Economic Outcomes of Second Generation Youth,” the four-page memo showed little regard for the political correctness typical of government correspondence. “Chinese and South Asians are the most likely to have university degrees or higher, and to be employed in high-skilled occupations,” observed the summary, which was prepared by departmental bureaucrats and released recently through access to information. Second-generation youth of Caribbean and Latin American origin don’t fare so well, the memo went on; they tend to obtain lower levels of education than native-born Canadian kids and wind up in less skilled jobs.
Of course, remember that even when something is scientifically proven, it’s racist. Thank you.
