Ed again. Here's what I can read of the scribblings on the scraps of foolscap littering Walt's floor. I've made no attempt to put them in order or otherwise make them coherent.
Four more years, four more years... Exactly! $6 billion later and we're in for four more years of the same! Dysfunctional Congress + drifting "leadership" = gridlock.
What policies will Obama follow? He didn't say. What about Mitt's 5-pt plan? During the "debates" Mrs Walt kept asking "How? How? How?" But she's not an Indian!
"Triumph of moderation" one of the liberal nitwit pundits is saying. Bullshit. Triumph of multiculturalism is more like it. White, straight, (practising) Christian males now a minority. Triumph of mongrelization, of which the Prez is the living image! Hm, mongrelization? Didn't someone predict that about 50 years ago? Look up "White Citizens Council". And lo, it has come to pass.
Could Ron Paul have won? Two chances, see above!
Last 3 presidents have all been re-elected. Why not just have one 8-year term and be done with it? $6 billion weak bucks down the drain and for what...
God rot the pandering politicians, the lot of them. God save the United States of America and this honourable court...
Here the script becomes illegible. If I can decipher more of it, I'll be back. Ed.

What happened to the Native Sons of Canada?
Agent 3 wrote that he was surprised that the Native Sons of Canada hadn't weighed in on current issues of multiculturalism, "Islamicization" (pace Steve Harper), Muslim prayers in the "public" schools, etc, ad nauseam. Since Walt wasn't familiar with that group, he checked it out on Google, and came up with this:
This organization...was incorporated in 1922. Its aims were to foster Canadian national spirit, the creation of a Canadian nationality, the adoption of a distinctly Canadian flag, and the abolition of such shackles on Canadian autonomy as appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. It also urged the employment of Canadians by Canadians, and opposed Oriental immigration. It was, in fact, a nativist movement, somewhat less compromising than the "Canada First" movement of the seventies.... During recent years, with the partial achievement of some of its objects, its importance has somewhat declined.
Agent 3 says he (being almost as ancient as Walt) can remember the Native Sons campaigning hard on the flag and national anthem issues in the 60s. When the Liberal government of the day gave Canada the now-famous maple leaf flag, and gave official status to O Canada, over the objections of the Tories, the IODE, and the Orange Lodge, the Native Sons' work seemed to be done. And yes, it seemed that they faded into obscurity.
But there's more to the story. The Native Sons of Canada were, like Amos 'n' Andy in the USA, among the first victims of political correctness. Think about it...
The First Nations (formerly known as Indians) didn't like the appellation "native", saying that they, the aboriginal people, were the only true natives of Canada.
The wimmin didn't like "Sons" because that term is misogynistic, sexist and exclusionary.
Immigrants objected to "Sons of Canada" because it represented the policy of the Native Sons that only those born in Canada could become members. Someone born in London, England could be just as much of a Canadian nationalist as someone born in London, Ontario, they said.
And of course there was the predictable ranting, in the era of civil rights, that the Native Sons were anti-Semitic, anti-Negro (as African-Canadians were then called), and anti-French. (There was already an organization for the pure-laine canadiens. That would be the Société Jacques-Cartier, otherwise known as La Patente.)
Since the hippy-dippy 60s, it is politically incorrect to be anti-anything. We're supposed to be pro-everything, eh. Strength in diversity, multiculturalism is the future, and all that bullshit.
These days, supporting (publicly at least) the ideals of the Native Sons of Canada makes about as much sense in Canada as supporting the ideals of the White Citizens Council in the USA. So such organizations no longer exist. They have been silenced. But, as the Jesuits say, just because you've silenced a man doesn't mean you've converted him.
