Here are some brief pointers for suggestions of how to build conservatism into a force in this country once again...
That is why we have to do the following as I have been advocating for sometime now:
-find powerful sponsors that truly support our political views-find out who our real supporters are in the system and stay loyal to them
-campaign for change at the CRTC
-push for change to media laws in Canada re: NAFTA, Washington and any international agreements or influence that we can must... cause change from outside rather than inside (which is rotten from liberal corruption and influence..)
-do it ourselves... build an infrastructure for conservative views built by conservatives
-lastly win an election where we will be in a position to legislate actual change.

Muslim punks keep up the pressure!
NETHERLANDS: VAN GOGH'S SON ASSAULTED
Brussels, 28 July (AKI) - The 14-year-old son of controversial film director Theo van Gogh, slain by an Islamic extremist last November, is said to have been threatened and assaulted by Moroccan teenagers in Amsterdam and insulted by his classmates. The allegations were made during an interview the boy's grandparents gave to the Dutch television channel Nova.
Amsterdam police have not confirmed any threats or aggression against Lieuwe van Gogh.The family lawyer, Gijs de Westelaken, specified that after the murder, which profoundly shocked Dutch society, Lieuwe was attacked by some young Moroccan youths while he was walking the dog. The boy is said to have suffered bruising, but only spoke about the incident to his mother and did not lodge a police complaint.On another occasion he is said to have been threatened with a pistol by two young men of North African descent in the neighbourhood where his father had lived. Neighbours called the police but when they arrived the attackers had fled. According to his grandparents, Lieuwe was also subject to harrassment and insults at school, and was forced to change class after various classmates told him "it is a good thing your father is dead". An Amsterdam police spokesman said that in the aftermath of the murder of the filmmaker, they were in frequent contact with the boy's mother and that Lieuwe had been under police protection for a period.
The Dutch director - a descendent of the painter Vincent van Gogh - caused controversy with his film 'Submission', broadcast in the Netherlands last August, which criticised the treatment of women in Islamic society. He was murdered as he cycled to work in Amsterdam last November. The assailant shot Van Gogh and slit his throat. A letter was also pinned to his chest with a knife, quoting the Koran and threatening the Dutch-Somali MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who wrote the script for the film.A young radical Islamist was on Monday given a life sentence for the murder. Dutch-Moroccan Mohammed Bouyeri, 27, had confessed to the killing during his trial and told the court he would do it again if he had the chance. Van Gogh's killing shocked the Netherlands, which is known for its tolerant attitudes and laws, and sparked attacks on mosques and ethnic unrest around the country. Bouyeri was born and raised in Amsterdam, and there is no clear information on how and why he turned to radical Islam.
Gee most would get the message by now but not radical Islam... we are defiant and we want a World War III with the west and Christianity. Just who is behind the black curtain pulling the strings of radical islamism anyways?? Several guessess...

Transgender Golfer Still Faces Barriers
After Forging Identity, She Struggles With LPGA Policies and Critics of Her Unusual Sexual Identity
July 27, 2005 -- A year ago, Mianne Bagger made history by becoming the first transsexual woman to ever play in a professional golf tournament.
"That was huge," she told "Primetime" correspondent Jay Schadler of her appearance in the 2004 Women's Australian Open. "It's like I get there and I'm on the course side of the ropes. I'm here. I'm playing. It was like, wow!"
Watch Jay Schadler's interview with Mianne Bagger on "Primetime" on Thursday, July 28 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Around the same time, the Olympics and the Ladies European Golf Tour opened the doors to athletes like her, changing their rules to allow transgendered athletes.
However, the Danish-born 38-year-old still has obstacles to face: The LPGA, the body that governs the American tour, won't let her play. It says only natural-born women are allowed.
Ty Votow, the LPGA's outgoing commissioner, says the rule is based on the belief that allowing transsexuals to compete against natural-born women "would create an unfair effect on the competition."
A Radical Change
However, Bagger says the physical advantages she had as a man have actually disappeared thanks to the female hormones she has taken since before undergoing gender reassignment surgery. She actually has less testosterone in her body now than many women, she said, and she has to rely more on accuracy and less on strength.
"The physical changes are, you lose muscle mass and testosterone," she told Schaedler. "You lose overall strength … I certainly wouldn't be out there playing if I felt I had an unfair advantage."
Bagger, who refuses to divulge her birth name, said she never considered herself a male, even when she was still a teen. She didn't tell anyone about how she felt until she was 18, but she says the experience was unbearable.
"I got thoroughly depressed. I got suicidal," she says.
She had gender reassignment surgery in 1995. She had no doubts, she said. "That feeling of laying on the hospital bed just going in for surgery was like, 'My God, I can't believe this is finally about to happen.'"
Supporters and Critics
The LPGA membership is currently reconsidering its policies on transgendered athletes.
Just to show everyone that I am not a bigot... I believe this person is gender confused, certainly on a mental and possibly on a psychic and soul level.
All the same... it is not going to be easy to reconcile her as a true woman in every endeavour that she decides to undertake.
I'm happy that this person decided to make the change once she became an adult... better than a recent Red Star story that touted a person in Toronto in their teens toying with the same idea.
Gay and transgendered rights should never be allowed to trump the status quo... that is unfair and it goes against 1000s of years of tradition and history. Where possible accomodation should be allowed provided it is a mutually agreed to process.

Canada to soon be thumped by the Danes??
I see that our fearless Minister of Defense (the oft rumoured gay blade himself.. Bill Graham), has caused quite the spat with Denmark by his dancing on an ice cap on some indescriminate island near Greenland.
Here is the summation of the event from the article linked above at the Gay & Married (Gobe&Mail), newspaper:
"But Hans Island, a barren knoll in the high Arctic, is now the centre of a full-fledged diplomatic tiff after Defence Minister Bill Graham quietly set foot there last week to the chagrin of the government of Denmark."
Gee is Kanada going to go up against the Vikings in a war?
Me thinks we are gonna get our arses kicked!!
