Looks Like Canada Knows a Terrorist When they See One, Bill Ayers Stopped at Canadian Border

Oh Canada!!!

As Don Surber says, “The Great White North has a message for the United States: Keep your trash out”.

Leave it the the Canadians to treat an unrepentant terrorist like one should treat an unrepentant terrorist, eh. Far be it from Ayers to apologize for his past terrorist acts. Instead he remained in hiding during the election and emerged like a cockroach from the wall following Obama’s win to cash in on his book deal. A funny thing happened on the way to the forum, Bill Ayers, the unrepentant former Weather Underground terrorist was turned back at the Canadian border.

An American education professor, one of the founders of a radical 1960s group known as the Weather Underground, which was responsible for a number of bombings in the United States in the early 1970s, was turned back at the Canadian border last night.

Dr. William Ayers, a professor of education at the University of Illinois-Chicago and a leader in educational reform, was scheduled to speak at the Centre for Urban Schooling at University of Toronto’s Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. But that appearance has now been temporarily cancelled.

We’ve Come a Long Way Baby but not Done Yet: Martin Luther King Jr Day 2009 … Most Blacks Say MLK’s Vision Fulfilled

Today we honor the man and the tremendous efforts of slain Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and his “dream”. Very few can be called heroic, MLK is certainly one. We look back to a troubled time and we look to present day and the long journey and strides that this great nation has made toward MLK’s ultimate dream of equality so that all people could be able to “join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!.”

America has a lot to be proud of in the past 40+ years and the efforts that have been made and its accomplishment. Is it over, no. Not by a long shot. I am glad to know that the dream moves forward and not in reverse. However, according to a CNN poll most blacks think that MLK’s vision has been fulfilled.

There are few speeches that have had as much purpose and meaning as Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech. On August 23, 1963 civil rights leader Martin delivered one of the most impacting speeches on the Mall in Washington, DC that would echo across generations. (Read the entire speech here)

Martin Luther King Jr. “I have a Dream” Speech

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!

Scared Monkeys Visits the Caylee Anthony Memorial … God Bless & Rest in Peace Caylee

In special memory of Caylee Anthony

Caylee_anthony10

Members of Scared Monkeys visited the Memorial to Caylee Anthony over the weekend to pay their respects and leave a note and a stuffed animal for little Caylee who never saw her third birthday. The contrast of the loving memorial and the crime scene are evident as the site of the memorial is just mere yards away from the location and crime scene where Caylee was discovered and less than a half a mile away from the home of Cindy and George Anthony. The outpouring of love for little Caylee has been evident from the outset of her known disappearance of a life cut far too short. Caylee Anthony became America’s little girl.

Caylee Anthony is in a much better place where she will never know again the insipid human qualities pain, jealousy, greed and resentment and only know eternal love. We have pointed out in the past that you deserved so much better in life; however, you are certain to get all the love you truly deserved in death. From all of us at Scared Monkeys we wish you the peace of the Lord, God bless and rest in peace.
