Dwight Duncan gets it right while Andy Barrie and Michael Hollinga are idiots

It really is unbelievable that taxpayer money is going toward funding the socialist agenda of CBC radio. On Oct. 23rd, Andy Barrie of CBC’s Metro Morning show in Toronto interviewed Ontario liberal finance minister Dwight Duncan. On the recommendation of CBC money {expert}, Michael Hollinga, Barrie suggested the finance minister should increase the price of gas by five cents per liter and have a one percent fee on healthcare. Barrie, in typical flaming ignorance, said Canadians are unfairly protected from high gas prices, citing England’s higher prices. Duncan held a reasonable ground saying Canadians already pay market prices for gas and introducing a tax increase right now would not be in the public’s best interest. Barrie countered with, “it’s not a tax increase. It’s an increase in government revenue”. The bosses at CBC must have completely given up on anyone with any intelligence at all listening to CBC radio.  Otherwise they would, and still should, get rid of this absolute idiot.
There could be a hidden agenda here, though. The CBC has always slanted left (liberal). It could be that the question was put to the minister to prop him up. To make him look like he’s for the people; the little man. Maybe Barrie was just looking for job security. Afterall, his job depends on tax revenue.
Either way, the whole Heather Malick nonsense along with Andy Barrie’s incomprehensible stupidity should cause great concern for the average, informed Canadian and if the government needs more money, perhaps they could take a look at CBC’s billion dollar budget and they could start with Andy Barrie.

Why so many people lose in the stock market

October 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Even though everyone loves the underdog, nobody likes a loser. This is why people who live life on an emotional level do poorly in high finance. To them, the market looks more like a race than an investment. The strategy for the emotional investor goes as follows:
They buy a “winner” and expect it to keep winning.  If it doesn’t and starts losing value, it is labelled a loser and dumped with hopes for better returns on the next “winner”.
That is called buying high and selling low. It is emotional investing. People have been selling like mad these last couple of weeks and the only thing keeping the Dow from going any lower is the objective investors who are taking advantage of the enormous buying opportunities that wil make them very rich once this market correction has run it’s course.
Buying low and selling high goes contrary to inbred, western philosophy. It helps if you look at it this way: Do your homework. Support the underdog with the most potential. And wait. Otherwise you’re just gambling, and gambling is a tax on people who don’t know how to do math.

The Great Debate

October 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Great Debate

Not since the infamous Scopes Monkey Trial has there been a more entertaining and revealing debate over the never ending, controversial, evolution versus creationism theories. Evolutionists claim scientific enlightenment. Creationists claim moral, spiritual, and yes, scientific superiority. This debate took place on line at WordPress.com between a Christian author and lay Bible teacher and four atheistic evolutionists who took issue with the Christian’s article regarding prayer in schools. As you read the progression of the debate you will discover the complete lack of concern for children on the part of one atheist, reminiscent of the ACLU’s deceitful infiltration into the school systems of America. You will read sentences like, “if it (teaching kids evolution) is harming children then so be it”. You will read the revelation that Marxism is being taught in schools and the next generation is doomed to the lifestyles of animals. The names and nicknames of the persons involved have been altered to hide the disgrace of the ignorant. You will be amazed at what the next generation looks like and it isn’t pretty.
