So now, in the midst of the rampant Judeophobia that is sweeping the world, a Canadian activist believes that the Jews are now assuming the role of Hitler's SS during WW II as they presently attempt to protect Israeli citizens from terrorists in Gaza.
Interesting that this 'activist' is the Canadian Muslim who initiated criminal charges against Mark Steyn before a so-called 'human rights tribunal' because he warned that radical Islam was quickly changing European culture and values.
The Jews, claims the Canadian Muslim, are only behaving badly because the German SS wasn't successful enough in getting rid of them.
A question for our intellectually-deprived Judeophobes to the north--why is this man not hauled before your joke of a 'human rights tribunal' for disparaging the Jews?
I bet I will get an answer very quickly. Yep, I sure do...uh huh.

Mark Steyn: 'Death of the American Idea'
Having come close to being thrown into prison in Canada for merely speaking his mind about the dangers of militant Islam in Europe, Mark Steyn knows a thing or two about human liberty and just how fragile that liberty can be, even in Western democratic societies.
While a so-called 'Human Rights Tribunal' in British Columbia narrowly exonerated Steyn for exercising free speech, the question is why should this trial have taken place in a supposed 'free' society to begin with? And, how much longer will it be before America falls prey to the very same mindset?
According to Steyn, it won't be that long.
America, he says, took a turn toward the Left in this election. And, regardless of how we may try to rationalize it all away by our explanations of what went wrong, somehow we allow government to gain more control over our lives, little by little, year by year.
Can you imagine, asks Steyn, President William McKinley in 1898 even conceiving of the possibility that one day in America one Presidential candidate would be proposing giving a tax rebate check to over 40 million Americans who pay no taxes, and the other Presidential candidate proposing a government bailout of individuals who fail to make their mortgage payments?
I can go even further. Can you imagine in the early 1900s Teddy Roosevelt conceiving of a day in America when a President-elect had at one time proposed a complete ban on all handguns in America?
Yet here we are. We should not even be having these discussions in America. But we have gradually given away our rights to be point to where the opponents of human liberty feel free to openly discuss infringing on the rights specifically named and protected in the Constitution.
Read Mark Steyn's 'Death of the American Idea' and seriously ponder over what, exactly, brought us to this point in America where so many of our fellow citizens believe it is incumbent upon them to place limitations on rights recognized and guaranteed by the Constitution.
Even in my lifetime, I remember a day in America when these issues were settled because we were free. There was no mention of ANY possibility of limitations or infringements on our God-given rights.
So, my friends, how did we get to this point? What plan of action, what tactical decisions were made that led to the present crisis of liberty?
I have my ideas, but many won't like them. Compromising with the individuals who are clearly anti-freedom did us no good whatsoever. In fact, the opposite took place. The compromises we thought would help us gain ground only served to strengthen the enemies of liberty and weaken the resolve of the electorate to fight them.

Second Amendment News Roundup for 7/15/08
Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:
David Codrea at War on Guns has several items of interest posted today, the first of which is the fact that David's report on Len Savage in the Olofson case is receiving some widespread attention. And then, David reports some great news on gun rights from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. Finally, David has an important update from the Olofson family.
Armed and Safe is reporting today that D.C. has no intention of giving up its restrictive measures against handguns, the Supreme Court be damned.
FreedomSight provides further commentary on the D.C. outrage.
John Lott further reports that the vote by the D.C. council on the new gun laws will be TODAY.
Mike McCarville says that the latest poll in Iowa shows Obama way ahead.
The Hill reports that John McCain has outlined his plan on Afghanistan and slammed Barack Obama over his highly flawed statements on Iraq.
Cap'n Bob and the Damsel highly recommend the book Effective Handgun Defense.
Dark Blog says that the effectiveness of the conservative legal movement in minimizing the decades of liberal domination may have been greatly exaggerated.
Gateway Pundit reports that Barack Obama is frantically removing from his websites any former references to 'civil war' in Iraq or that the 'surge will not work.' Well, Mr. Magic-O-Bama, you may run but you cannot hide from your words or your record!
And get THIS one! Gateway Pundit also reports that in a speech yesterday Barack Obama referred to our Border Patrol Agents as 'terrorists.' What a complete bastard.
Sebastian has something here that makes my blood boil. A New York judge has declared that in the state of New York keeping and bearing arms is a privilege granted by state statutes and not a right. BASTARD! Looks like the fun has begun, folks.
Breda has some exciting news. She will be tonight's guest on Ahab and Squeaky's podcast called 'Gun Nuts--the Next Generation.' Congrats, Breda. Click on the link for the info.
Traction Control posts something that should be of grave concern to any gunowner. Barack Obama voted at least four times for legislation that would allow criminal charges to be brought against homeowners who use guns to defend their lives and families.
Mark Steyn unfortunately has ominous news today on his case in British Columbia. An appeal has been filed on the decision of the national Canadian Human Rights Commission to drop charges against him. Commies don't give up easily.
The Western Rifle Shooters Association points to Oleg's new pictorial graphic-editorial on gun rights, and it is an excellent one!
The Rustmeister has an interesting read on guns, beer, and Big Brother.
Say Uncle notes that the Chicago Tribune refused to cover a major pro-gun rally in Chicago last week but is quick to provide complete coverage for anti-gun rallies.
Blogonomicon points to a major scientific report that suggests that the latest trends in solar activity indicate an ice age is coming, not 'global warming.'

Mark Steyn Update: Totalitarians Spooked
Mark Steyn, the National Review reporter/commentator who was hauled before a British Columbian 'human rights' tribunal on charges of 'inciting Islamophobia' in an article he wrote for the magazine Mclean's, reports that his case has been dropped by the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
The Commission, which acts as a Canadian watchdog group, deciding what is and is not acceptable speech for citizens, decided that Steyn's words were not sufficiently unacceptable enough to appoint a national tribunal.
But Steyn still faces a 'verdict' from the purported 'judges' of the British Columbian Human Rights Tribunal following a trial spurred by the complaints of the Canadian Islamic Congress, which accused Steyn of inciting hate against Muslims by writing in Mclean's that the growth of Islam in Europe is having dramatic repercussions on society.
The kangaroo court of the human rights tribunal in British Columbia is the entity from whence came forth these words on free speech: 'Free speech is an American concept, and thus, I have no use for it.'
But apparently the totalitarians that have infiltrated the Canadian government have been sufficiently spooked by the possibility of the harsh condemnation of the free world that the national Commission trumped the decision of the British Columbian tribunal by throwing the Steyn case out of court.
This does not mean that the tribunal in B.C. will not find Steyn guilty. But it is curious that the national Commission issued a decision on the case before rather than after the B.C. tribunal makes its decision.
And it is worth noting that both Canadian entities have already received an avalanche of less-than-complimentary commentary on the fact that the Steyn case was brought in the first place.
Thus, the Canadian Human Rights Commission did the right thing, albeit under intense pressure from freedom of speech groups. We can only hope the British Columbian tribunal will follow suit.

NRO Weighs in On Its Embattled Reporter
National Review Online, the Internet version of the venerable conservative magazine National Review, has offered its defense of its embattled reporter Mark Steyn.
Steyn has been on trial before a human rights tribunal in British Columbia for 'inciting Islamophobia' resulting from the reprinting of excerpts from Steyn's book in the Canadian magazine Mclean's.
The book catalogues the growth and influence of radical Islam in Europe.
Muslim groups in Canada were offended. And thus, they began a search for a venue that would take seriously their charge of Islamophobia, and they found one in the human rights tribunal in British Columbia.
As you will see for yourself in the report issued by National Review, the government's case against Steyn has been a joke. The entire fiasco would be laughable were it not deadly serious. Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are at stake.
Even so, most of the media, including most bloggers, have been totally silent on Steyn's plight and Canada's shame.
The article linked below, written collectively by the editors at National Review, is must-reading for anyone who values basic, fundamental human rights.

Important Mark Steyn Interview Today
In a blog interview featured in 'Girl on the Right,' a new addition to The Liberty Sphere's preferred links, Mark Steyn will talk about his personal nightmare in the Canadian free speech/free press case.
The interview can be found today on Brass Balls Radio, via Girl on the Right:
http://girlontheright.com/2008/06/06/following-on-in-our-all-mark-steyn-theme/
Girl on the Right provides a daily audio/video feed from Brass Balls Radio.
Mark Steyn, of course, is the National Review columnist/reporter whose article on radical Islam in Europe landed him in a British Columbian human rights tribunal. He is charged with 'Islamophobia' and attempting to incite Islamophobia.
Human rights observers say that the case is representative of Canada's descent into totalitarianism. The case is also a grim reminder that formerly free societies are succumbing to the hysteria of extremists who believe that pointing out the weaknesses and failures of Islam, for example, is apparently a hideous crime against humanity that must be harshly judged and punished.
Free societies, however, allow no such limits on human liberty.
Steyn's own words concerning his own personal ordeal at the hands of the Canadian government should be a stark wake-up call to all around the world who value human freedom.

Canada Under Free Speech Muzzle
The so-called 'human rights tribunal' in British Columbia, Canada has completed its trial of National Review columnist and political commentator Mark Steyn. Steyn has been charged with 'Islamophobia' resulting from his article that was reprinted in the Canadian magazine McLean's on the subject of the growing oppressive influence of radical Islam in Europe.
It has not been mentioned as to when we can expect a verdict to be rendered.
Human rights activists have pointed to the Steyn case as proof positive that Canada has fallen victim to totalitarianism, where free speech and other basic human rights are not respected.
If Steyn loses before the tribunal in Canada, we can kiss goodbye not only free speech but freedom of the press throughout Canada. The very fact that Steyn was hauled before a tribunal for a trial has already placed a chilling muzzle on free speech in the country.
The liberal, mainstream media has been into its typical hysteria over 'Islamophobia' in the aftermath of the trial. One prominent news organization in Canada went as far as to say that the article written by Steyn resulted in mass Islamophobia, threats of violence against Muslims, and the push to convert Muslims to Christianity. The problem is that no such thing has occurred.
One would think that the arrest and trial of a journalist over a free speech/free press issue would bring forth howls of protest from the mainstream media, no matter what political ideology they lean toward. Not so. Rather, the mainstream media has vilified Steyn as a 'rebel rouser' of sorts. Oblivious to the fact that what happens to Steyn may well directly muzzle them as well, the mainstream media seems to believe that they are safe from the long arm of progressive government totalitarianism.
Perhaps the Press in Canada should think again. It may be only Steyn now. It will be THEM next.

Canadian Totalitarianism
Canada marches toward totalitarianism as it attempts to squelch free speech. The country has already essentially robbed the citizens of their gun rights, and now it appears the speech-and-thought gestapo are alive and well, and with the power of the government behind them.
Totalitarian governments do these sorts of things, not free ones. Whether they are Communist or Nazi, totalitarianism first robs citizens of their gun rights and then goes after their freedom of speech.
The record of history is our guide.
Mark Steyn is a reporter/commentator for the U.S. political magazine, National Review, which was founded by conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr. in the 1950s. Steyn is on trial before a so-called 'human rights tribunal' in British Columbia over a piece he wrote on the oppressive influence of Islam in Europe. The article first appeared in National Review, but the story was picked up by a Canadian publication, 'McLean's,' and now both Steyn and the magazine are in deep trouble.
The Canadian government seems to believe that Steyn is 'guilty' of the 'crime' of 'Islamophobia.'
Radical Muslim groups in Canada are responsible for the prosecution of Steyn, given that they were 'offended' by the article he wrote.
Canada has been on the downhill slide for a number of years with regard to basic human rights. Its citizens no longer have the basic right to self-defense, and its 'human rights tribunals' are going after those who exercise their free speech in being critical of things deemed to be 'politically incorrect.'
If Steyn is convicted of his heinous crime against humanity (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek), it will be literally the end of freedom of speech in Canada, thanks to the speech-and-thought police of the politically correct movement...and their supporters in radical Islam.
