Justin Trudeau’s aversion to the word ‘barbaric’

Although Justin Trudeau acts like a child, he’s 42-years-old and totally incapable of coherent thought, let alone running a country

The words “barbarian,” “barbarism,” and “barbaric” are being used quite often these days in relation to the Islamic State’s activities. Although the beheading and slaughtering of Yazidis and Christians, including women, children and babies, did not cause too much of an outrage in political circles and the mainstream media, it took the beheading of James Foley, a freelance journalist, to get the “b” words rolling.

Even the left wing media that would never call the Islamic State terrorists, preferring the more neutral term “militants,” began using the words “barbarism” and “barbaric” after news broke of Foley’s death.

The fact that they are bearded savages, which is the literal meaning of barbarian from the original latin, should have been his first clue.

So Mick Jagger’s son(or fill in the rock star of your choice) wants to be the next prime minister of Canada. Groovy!

It always caused my teeth to grind when I’d hear the media refer to these savages as “militants.” As if during WWII we’d refer to the Axis soldiers as “militants.”

Even his dad had "Barbaric" in his vocabulary. He used it to describe the process of producing foie gras in response to French criticism of the seal hunt.

To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.

Canada Ping!

I was having such a good day. Then you pinged me with that dope’s picture.

I’ll be wiping the image with a walk on the beach later. We’re in what’s probably this year’s last heat wave :)

After this week we’re about to start the ‘ber” months.
