Commented on Hope is fading
To #13: I was about to post the same Politfact link. I've visited that site every couple of days since the election. I've watched the numbers sometimes slowly and sometimes like the last couple of weeks drop rather quickly from...
Commented on Crucifix multi-screwdriver
As a medievalist who used to cast pewter using soapstone moulds myself and so being familiar with existing period moulds and pieces, the bit cross strikes me as something that would come from the mould pictured at the bottom of...
Commented on Al Franken kicks eleventy-million kinds of ass in health-care hearing
Let's be fair: the main reason most people are against some form of socialized medicine in the US is, deep down inside, they don't want to share what's theirs with someone who they deem is less deserving. Pardon the swear...
Commented on Zombie shooting-range targets
You can also find zombie targets for sale at, of all places, zombietargets.net. I couldn't see wasting money taking any of these to the shooting range and destroying them. I'd rather just keep them on the wall, so I found...

Commented on Pages Books in Toronto to close
A lot of the places I love have been shut out on Queen St. lately. Savage Garden is gone. Fun Haus is gone. If the Silver Snail ever closes, I will never go to Toronto ever again. To #3: Funhaus...

Commented on The Importance of Battle Scars
I was making pewter tokens for a Society for Creative Anachronism event here in Ontario. As I was pouring the molten pewter from a ladle into the soapstone mold some of the pewter spilled into a hole in the finger...

Commented on Errol Morris' "real people" ads for Obama
To #42 by Bbonyx: Can't say I did. She was appointed PM upon Mulroney's stepping down as PM and her subsequently having won the PC leadership convention, she wasn't voted in by the populace at large. She did lead the...
Commented on Errol Morris' "real people" ads for Obama
To #8 by Dbarak: Thanks for the offer but the Repubs are already doing what they can to disallow as many voters as they can without giving them more another vote to disallow. *grin* I'll just look wistfully across the...
Commented on Errol Morris' "real people" ads for Obama
As a Canadian I am glad to be a Canadian in all ways but this one. I wish I had the opportunity to be able to vote for Obama just so I could always be able to say to any...

"To end the wars." I believed, like many others, that when Obama-the-candidate said he was for the war in Afghanistan and against the war in Iraq, that he was just saying that about Afghanistan only to win some Republican votes. I thought he was saying it with a wink, and that once in office, he'd say that he was actually for ending both the wars. So he did not fool me, but I fooled myself. My only remaining hope is that the only reason he's continuing to fund the war in Afghanistan is because he's afraid that if he stops...
zyodei commented on Hope is fading
With regards to "self-reliance" - again, I truly do believe that, on an individual level, this is what made America great. Not assuming that others will do stuff for us; and conversely, seeing that if someone is down there is no one but us to lend a helping hand. That's my definition of self-reliance, and on an individual level it has been one of the most powerful goods in the American character. Now, I certainly see where you're coming from - it's hard to crow about American self-reliance when we collectively rely on slave labor in China to make everything...
claybarham commented on Hope is fading
Here's why Obama and his crowd are losing Americans. Martha Stewart, in a recent TV interview, demonstrated why the elite hate ordinary people who stray into the public eye. She earns the title of Mean Martha with her demeaning responses to questions about Rachael Ray and Sarah Palin. She did us a great service, however, because she gave us a concrete example of the differences between the elite herding class and the herd, them and us. The few elite rule the many, as is tradition in the world outside of America. The elite herding class has moved into most all...
mechko commented on Hope is fading
You're right. I remember arguing pro-gun and immediately, some retard started railing on my about how my pro-life attitude is simply a form of repression of women that is the norm in a patriarchal society. I was even labeled as a "Chauvinistic Pig" and had to go to a college disciplinary hearing for it. The girls argument was that I was strongly pushing my Republican values, which demean women. And she was taken seriously. I repeat, I was talking about guns, not women. A week later, I pointed out how socialized health care works really well in Australia. Some boyscout...
