There are very few things in life that piss me off royally. Backing a known dictator, and not even acknowledging that they are one would be on the top of the list. Joe Biden did possibly the stupidest thing that a president/vice president has ever done or said (kiss my ass you Bush is teh stoopid people).Just watch yourself from the article...
In an exclusive interview with the NewsHour, Vice President Joe Biden told Jim Lehrer Thursday afternoon that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, the target of anti-government demonstrations in Cairo, is someone he knows "fairly well" and does not consider to be a dictator. But the "time has come for President Mubarak to begin to move in the direction of being more responsive to some of the needs of the people out there."
The vice president was hesitant to link protests in Tunisia, Egypt and Yemen as part of a unified trend, saying he didn't "see any direct relationship, other than it might be argued that what is happening in one country sparks whatever concern there is another country." He called for dialogue between demonstrators and the government.
My head hurts, I really hope that this gets picked up during the news cycle tomorrow on top of the protests that will be dramatic, and unfortunately probably deadly too. Oh and Dumbo, here are some other things that this dictator is doing according to the BBC...
Unrest in Egypt
and having the internet shut down...

Egyptian Man Killed in Egypt Protest - Barbaric World, Primitive Species!
It has begun. The last sign of a desperate regime is shooting innocent protesters who want freedom. The guy is dropped around 0:16 and looks to be dead but not sure. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

#25 Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (feat. Sting) HD
This is to all the faggots out there who think this song is offensive and the faggots who banned it from being played on CBC. I will make it a point now to use faggot as much as possible in my daily language because I will not be censored by humorless faggots. Oh this is also a great song too.
In the not to distant future...
All this talk about toning down our language and rhetoric WILL eventually lead to this...
After receiving threats and two suspicious letters Tuesday, the National Archives of Canada cancelled the screening of a controversial documentary that critiques Iran’s nuclear weapons program, a move that has organizers questioning the national library’s autonomy. The Free Thinking Film Society’s showing of Iranium prompted so many complaints — some of them from the Iranian Embassy — that staff thought it necessary to close the entire building at 396 Wellington St. in Ottawa, just steps from the Supreme Court of Canada and Parliament Hill at 4:45 p.m., said archives spokeswoman Pauline Portelance. “Once we started to receive threats from the public and threats of public protest, we deemed the risk associated with the event was a little too high,” she said.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., Ottawa Police swept in with its Hazmat team to investigate two letters they said could be tied to the threats of protest the National Archives staff received.
“There were threats of protest, so they’ve cancelled the movie and these [letters] were delivered two hours ago to the mailroom,” said Sergeant Jeff Pilon. By 7 p.m., the letters were cleared and considered “not suspicious at all.”
Even still, organizers were furious to see their event barred from the National Archives, a regular venue for the “libertarian, conservative” society that regularly screens films about democracy and current affairs.
“I’m outraged that in the capital of Canada the Iranians have been able to shut down a movie,” said the group’s president Fred Litwin. “Bad enough in Tehran, but in Ottawa?”
The Archives first called to cancel on Monday afternoon, Mr. Litwin said. Staff had received complaints about the showing of Iranium and offered to help the group find another venue. When Mr. Litwin said he couldn’t afford to show the film at the Museum of Nature, as the Archives suggested, he sought the help of Heritage Minister James Moore.
“People from his office called back at 6:30 p.m. and said it was back on,” he said.
And so it wasn’t until 4 p.m. Tuesday that Mr. Litwin learned the Archives cancelled the event once and for all.
“We’ve been showing films here for past three years without a peep or a protest. We’ve never seen anything like this,” Mr. Litwin said. He vowed to re-book the screening at another venue, if he couldn’t convince the National Archives to allow him to show the film by Raphael Shore, the founder of the not-for-profit Clarion Fund, which produces documentaries about national security threats. “It has to be shown somewhere. This cannot stand.” He said he’ll even try to bring back Clare Lopez, a Middle East strategic policy and intelligence expert from Washington D.C., for the next showing. Ms. Lopez, one of 26 international law and nuclear arms analysts and academics interviewed in the movie was in Ottawa Tuesday evening to speak at the event.
“The film very plainly and clearly lays out the facts of the Iranian nuclear arms program, a program the regime denies having,” she said Tuesday evening, adding that she wasn’t surprised to hear protests about the film’s showing. Mr. Moore used his twitter account on Tuesday night to express disapointment with the screening's cancelation. "I am disappointed that Library & Archives Canada chose not to show the film tonight due to threats of violence," Mr. Moore wrote. "The Iranian Embassy will not dictate to the Government of Canada which films will or will not be shown in Canada." Officials at the Iranian Embassy could not be reached for comment. Although no one protested outside of the archives, the government agency had to take preventative measures, Ms. Portelance said. “There was a significant amount of complaints that accelerated to threats. It’s our responsibility to protect staff and clients,” she said. The Archives had been in discussions with Iranian Embassy officials regarding the screening, she said. “We did receive a formal request from the embassy to cancel the event.” The Free Thinking Film Society was the only group booked in the building Tuesday night, she added.
The only thing that is worse than censorship, is self-imposed censorship for fear of violence or attacks. That is essentially terrorism, "pull this film or else" has the same effect on society as a suicide bomber, only no one dies. As I like to do, this is from the comment section from the story...
I'm sick of what's happening to this country. It seems the right to freedom of expression is being stifled more and more in Canada (Ann Coulter speeches, Dire Straights' Money for Nothing, and now this). Canada is degenerating more and more by the day. Revolting.
Typical cowards.
He should rent a digital projector, and screen it on the side of the Library & Archives Canada building.
This is just one in a series of events that have been cancelled either because of protest or the threat of violence:
Some recent ones are listed below:
Location /Event
University of Ottawa - Ann Coulter
University of Waterloo - Christy Blatchford
London Convention Ctr - Mark Steyn
Ottawa National Archives - Iranium
It would appear that there is a coordinated campaign of intimidation going on for the purpose of stopping freedom of expression, a charter protected Canadian right
I can only hope that this kind of wussiness never comes to America but I fear it will. If it does we can just throw the constitution out the window.

My take on the tragedy today...
Look everyone has their freaking two cents today about the nutter Jared Lee Loughner, who killed 5 people (at least count) critically injured a sitting congresswoman in Arizona and injured a handful of others. This guy is not a product of the tea party or any left wing (mainstream at least) groups. He is a lone anti-government, probably anarchist, atheist, nutter who is a few fries short of a happy meal. all you have to do is lok at his YouTube channel and you can see he isn't exactly making sense or even sane. Here are some exerpts from a article from a local paper, for the entire article click here
The suspected shooter has made death threats before and been contacted by law-enforcement officers, but the threats weren't against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, Dupnik said. The suspect is unstable, Dupnik said, but the sheriff would not say he is "insane."(I would make that leap)
A former classmate of Loughner at Pima Community College said he was "obviously very disturbed. He disrupted class frequently with nonsensical outbursts," said Lynda Sorenson, who took a math class with Loughner last summer at Pima Community College's Northwest campus. Sorenson doesn't recall if he ever made any threats or uttered political statements but he was very disruptive, she said. He was asked to leave the pre-algebra class several times and eventually was barred from class, said Sorenson, a Tucson resident. Another Pima classmate, Lydian Ali, said Loughner would frequently laugh aloud to himself during the advanced-poetry class they attended. Only about 16 people were in the class, so Loughner's behavior stood out, Ali said. "It almost seemed like he was on his own planet, because his comments would have nothing to do with what we were talking about," Ali said. MySpace, YouTube and Facebook accounts maintained by Loughner suggest he has spent most of his life on the northwest side: His profile says he attended Thornydale Elementary, Tortolita Middle School, Mountain View High School. The online accounts also contain bizarre discussions of a new currency and literacy, as well as threatening and despairing messages. "WOW! I'm glad i didn't kill myself. I'll see you on National T.v.! This is foreshadow .... why doesn't anyone talk to me?.." he posted on MySpace Dec. 14.
How can you tell he's screwed up? He's still using Myspace! No I kid but in all seriousness this is no laughing matter. There will be a lot of finger pointing and name calling over the next few weeks but I will not participate in it. Why not you ask? Because I am taking a different view of this, this is the price we ultimately will and have to pay for living in a free society. People are free to do and say what they want as long as them doing so and saying things doesn't infringe on other people's rights. There are close to 350 million people (when you include illegals and people on VISAs) living in this country. There are bound to be a few crazies, most of the time they end up homeless, dead, in jail, or in some fringe group that wants to overthrow the government or something but every now and then they afflict damage on the rest of us. This is one of those cases. It happens, it sucks I know but it happens. Just be glad there were brave people (who are truly heros in my opinion) who were there to tackle him or this could have been MUCH worse.

Top 10 songs of 2010...
To ring in the new year I am going to start of with music. I mean the blog is called "hard rock conservative" after all. Most of my posts for the next two weeks will be music related and mostly lists. Anyway here are my top 10 songs of 2010 (note: you will notice how they are not all rock songs)
#10 (Avenged Sevenfold)-Nightmare, good nasty metal song that is a little long on the video but still catchy nonetheless...
#9 (Papa Roach)-Kick in the Teeth, very catchy song. Came out in the summer and went unnoticed by most. I loved the beats though and it reminds me why I like this band so damn much
#8 (Taylor Swift)-Mine, okay yes I know its a country song and I'm supposed to hate everything country but I'm a sucker for Taylor's voice (and I'm still pissed about what Kanye did at the 2009 MTV music video awards but I digress) and of course, her body. But damn can this girl sing and tell a story.
#7 (Taio Cruz) Dynamite- Ok I literally know nothing about this guy but he sings/raps a catchy tune and had the (almost) hit summer song. 2nd catchiest song out there this year.
#6 (Katy Perry)-Teenage Dream, catchy sexual tune about teens doing it. Ok not the most original song concept ever but damn does Katie make it sound like it is for some reason. Note the video is borderline porn, then again it seems like most of her videos are...
#5 (Ke$ha)-We R who we R- yes the song came out back earlier this month but unlike a lot of people out there I like Ke$ha and hate Lady Gaga. Ke$ha is smart and entertaining, she nearly got a perfect score on her SAT's, and she snuck into prince's house in LA to drop off a demo tape. Like it or not she will be around for years to come.
#4 (Saving Abel)- The Sex is good, noticing a theme here? But seriously this song would normally be #1 in other years but the fact I have it at 4 proves this was a hell of a year for music. One of the most crass songs you've ever heard but there's truth to it, oh and it's pretty catchy too. Still no official music video though :/ and I have no idea why.
#3 (Ke$ha) Take it off- Another catchy late summer tune, I didn't even know it was her for the longest time. This was the song that made me realize she was no one hit wonder, she may act like Britney Spears but this bitch can sing like Christina.
#2 (Linkin Park) The Catalyst- The fact they aren't #1 on my list pains me but while they had a killer single to debut their first album in 4 frickin years it still wasn't the best song of the year. It was close but I swear it pains me to acknowledge the creds of the person/song I put above this
#1 (Katy Perry) California Gurls- Yeah, yeah I know I'm a rocker and shouldn't acknowledge pop music exists but it does. And damnitall this was a catchy tune, this is "California Dreaming" for the millenials. This wasn't just a hit summer song, this is a defining summer song that will be sung for DECADES to come, a song that only comes around once every 15-20 years. This is the new, sexual innuendo, catchy, song of summer until something knocks it off. Oh and it only has 63+ million views on YouTube... Plus you gotta love Snoop Dogg. And no this has nothing to do with the fact that I'm technically a "california boy". Well... maybe a little.
