Doug Giles’ column is right here at PTBC. So is Charles Adler’s.

Regular readers know the drill this week.  All week I’ve been trying to feature, here in the blog section, the latest columns by the columnists which we host right here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca, to bring attention to that fact.  Some people seem to think they’re just links to columns elsewhere, or that they’re just copyright rip-offs or something.  I’m just not sure what folks think! 

But no, we’ve been hosting Ann Coulter and Steve Milloy and others for varying lengths of time.  More than two years in the case of Ann Coulter.

So I’ll be changing the banner of this site a bit (soon!), at the suggestion of one regular reader who said that it’s just not obvious enough that this site has columnists hosted right here, and that I could draw people’s attention to it a bit better by featuring the latest columns, daily, in plainer view. 

Meantime…

Mike Adams’ latest column, called “My thoughts on quail hunting and abortion” is posted right here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca.  Go ahead and read it right here!  Link to it at other sites you visit!  Send to a Friend using the link provided!  It’s easy, it’s free, we’re Canadian, and you could help us out that way!  Here’s a link to our Columnist section ( http://www.proudtobecanadian.ca/columnists/ ).

In my thirteen years as a college professor, I’ve never seen joy and celebration that rivals the response to Dick Cheney’s hunting accident. Of course, that’s really saying something. Bringing American professors to laughter is nearly as tough as bringing American feminists to orgasm. It’s a theoretical possibility that is seldom achieved without a workshop.

The liberal reaction to Cheney’s accident may vary slightly from liberal to liberal but there is one common characteristic; namely, these liberals feel morally superior because they’ve never shot someone on a hunting trip.

Of course, the fact that the dancing liberals have never gone hunting doesn’t seem to attenuate these feelings of moral superiority. Similar logic would lead a 12-year-old to brag about his clean driving record or a blind man to boast that he’s never downloaded pornography. […]

The brilliant Salim Mansur has also been with us for quite a while, and his column is always insightful and interesting and beautifully written.  Here’s a snippet of his column from today in our Columnist section, called “Muslim world not a monolith”:

A segment of the Muslim population has, by indulging in violence, demanded that free societies restrict freedom of expression. If free societies, including Canada, concede to this demand, then one of their foundational principles is irreparably compromised.

What has been lost in the sound and fury of the present controversy is the rather simple question: Is the Muslim world a monolith? If it is not, then surely there exists a diversity of opinions among Muslims on matters sacred and profane.

To consider the Muslim world a monolith—and Muslims in general beholden to the opinion of some religious authority or power-holder—is a greater insult to Islam than any perverse imaginings of cartoonists or the even more perverse reaction of that segment of Muslims so readily driven to rage, be it contrived or genuinely felt.

Also today, Doug Giles’ weekly column is right here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca as it has been for many months—nearly a year.  Like all the columnists we host right here, I contacted Doug Giles a long time ago, he checked out our site, like what he saw, and after a few more emails and negotiations and what-nots (each columnist has a different arrangement with me), he became a permanent fixture here in our in-house Columnist section

Here’s a snippet from Doug Giles latest column, called “A Hunter’s Take on Cheney’s Mistake”, which is hosted right here at ProudToBeCanadian.ca.

Is the Cheney story the story we should be obsessing on right now? Well, in a word: No. Granted, he is the Veep, and he did shoot someone; but come on, this is not the most important news item in the US this week. Britney Spears’ mysterious trip to a Malibu clinic is what should have our focus. Jeez, people . . . get with it! Britney could be ill.

Hey hysterical media chum suckers, if you want to obsess about a gun (or guns) in South Texas, why don’t you travel a little further southwest from Corpus Christi to Laredo where U.S. authorities just snatched ready-to-detonate IEDs, materials for making 33 more, military style grenades, 26 grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, 1280 rounds of ammo, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bullet proof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics and cash from Mexican dope dealers? Now, Dave, there’s an all-beef patty for you and all the other reporters suffering from mad cow disease to sink your teeth into.

Similarly, we’ve been hosting Charles Adler’s column right here for some time.  Charles Adler and I actually exchange emails occasionally and I was once an invited guest on his national radio talk show Adler Online, and my interview was followed by one with another columnist here, Cinnamon Stillwell, whom I had written about (and Charles had read my writing).  I like her writing, and arranged to bring HER column here as well. 

Here’s a snippet from Charles Adler’s latest column which is called “Stand by your woman, Ralph”

[…] Remember when Wayne Gretzky was asked about his wife’s connections to the gambling scandal. The first thing he said to an open microphone was, “You’ll have to ask my wife about that.”

Huhhhhhhhhhh? Would Dave Semenko have said that if someone was getting in Wayne’s face?

If it were a member of my family, I would move through that army of smear mongers like corn through a goose. Nobody tries to take down my family puking up little pablum molecules like, “You’ll have to ask her.”

When I saw the quote about Mrs. Klein, I wondered, “Why doesn’t the Alberta premier say something to attack the s.o.b. who thinks of himself as a FORK? Why doesn’t Ralph tell him to FORK off?” […]
