The Canadian War on Christmas

[ClydeR]

It never ends. Liberals, especially Canadian liberals -- they're the worst -- are trying to ruin Christmas for everybody. This time they've gone too far by cutting Trump's cameo from Home Alone 2.


The Trump-free version of the 1992 film, which aired on the CBC this month, stoked outrage among conservative and pro-Trump media sources — including the popular Fox News morning show “Fox & Friends,” from which Trump regularly quotes guests.

Trump himself weighed in later Thursday, appearing to blame Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for his removal from the TV cut of the film.

Don't worry. If you were forced to watch the Trump-free version, just take a look at what you missed below..

For those of you who cannot watch videos, I'll summarize it for you. Macaulay Culkin gets separated from his parents in the airport and winds up on a plane to New York City. After a few scary times in the city, he wanders into the Plaza Hotel wearing his heavy backpack. In the lobby he asks a man for directions to the airport. The man turns out to be Donald Trump. "Down the hall and to the left," Trump says. As Macaulay heads to the lobby, Trump turns to regard him, wondering if he should offer to help the obviously lost child. Nah, he decides. And that's it. There was no reason for liberals to strip that cherished Christmas moment from our cultural history. So sad.

I'm glad I didn't find out about this until today. I would totally have ruined my Christmas.

Hoser or hose-head is both a slang term and a derogatory term, originating from Canada (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) and used primarily by those imitating Canadians (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadians).[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-1) It is used often by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as typical Canadian slang by Americans.[citation needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)][dubious (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement) – discuss (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hoser#Dubious)]
The term "hoser," long used by certains groups of Canadians, mostly males, gained popularity, or at least notoriety, from the comedic skits by Rick Moranis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Moranis) and Dave Thomas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Thomas_(actor)) (playing the characters of Bob and Doug McKenzie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_and_Doug_McKenzie)) in SCTV (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_City_Television)'s "The Great White North (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Bob_and_Doug_McKenzie_appearances_on_SCTV)" segments.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-2) The characters also used the verb 'to hose' as a synonym for 'to swindle'.[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-3)
Origins[edit (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hoser&action=edit&section=1)]The origin of the term is unclear. The Oxford English Dictionary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_English_Dictionary) records the first use in writing as being a 1981 Toronto Star (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_Star) article about the McKenzie brothers, and there is no clear evidence that the term was in use before then. Nonetheless, the term has spawned several popular false etymologies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_etymology).[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-mentalfloss-4)
A popular origin story holds that in outdoor ice hockey (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey) before ice resurfacers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_resurfacer), the losing team in a hockey game would have to hose down the rink after a game to make the ice smooth again. Thus the term hoser was synonymous with loser.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-mentalfloss-4) Another suggestion for the origin of the term involves farmers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer) of the Canadian Prairies (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Prairies) who would siphon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon) gasoline from farming vehicles with a hose during the Great Depression (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression) of the 1930s.[4] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-mentalfloss-4) "Hosed" is also a euphemism for drunkenness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_intoxication) in Canadian English, and by extension a hoser is one who is drunk.
Another possible origin may stem from loggers' slang, where "hoosier" referred contemptuously to an untrained, inept, or slack worker.[5] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoser#cite_note-5)
The term hoser was used frequently on the U.S. sitcom How I Met Your Mother (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_I_Met_Your_Mother) in relation to main character Robin Scherbatsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Scherbatsky), who was a native of Canada.

If we can’t get Mexico to pay for the wall, can we at least get Canada to show Home Alone 2 unedited?

[Neveragain]

1. “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”

2. “Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense.”

3. “What can you do, thought Winston, against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself; who gives your arguments a fair hearing and simply persists in his lunacy?”

4. “Always eyes watching you and the voice enveloping you. Asleep or awake, indoors or out of doors, in the bath or bed—no escape. Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters in your skull.”

5. “Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

6. “There was truth and there was untruth, and if you clung to the truth even against the whole world, you were not mad.”

7. “You had to live—did live, from habit that became instinct—in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every moment scrutinized.”

8. “Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past.”

9. “Your worst enemy, he reflected, was your nervous system. At any moment the tension inside you was liable to translate itself into some visible symptom.”

10. “We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.”

11. “The ideal set up by the Party was something huge, terrible, and glittering—a world of steel and concrete, of monstrous machines and terrifying weapons—a nation of warriors and fanatics, marching forward in perfect unity, all thinking the same thoughts and shouting the same slogans, perpetually working, fighting, triumphing, persecuting—three hundred million people all with the same face.”

12. “Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”

13. “Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

14. “Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.”

15. “How could you make appeal to the future when not a trace of you, not even an anonymous word scribbled on a piece of paper, could physically survive?”

16. “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

17. “And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. ‘Who controls the past’ ran the Party slogan, ‘controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'”

18. “Tragedy, he perceived, belonged to the ancient time, to a time when there were still privacy, love, and friendship, and when the members of a family stood by one another without needing to know the reason.”

19. “Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity. You will be hollow. We shall squeeze you empty, and then we shall fill you with ourselves.”

20. “To the future or to the past, to a time when thought is free, when men are different from one another and do not live alone—to a time when truth exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink—greetings!”

21. “For the first time he perceived that if you want to keep a secret you must also hide it from yourself.”

22. “…the object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war.”

23. “There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always—do not forget this, Winston—always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—forever. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring into the stratosphere, or sinking into the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too comfortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelligent.”

24. “We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing. It might be a thousand years. At present nothing is possible except to extend the area of sanity little by little. We cannot act collectively. We can only spread our knowledge outwards from individual to individual, generation after generation. In the face of the Thought Police there is no other way.”

25. “But it was alright, everything was alright, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Brother.”
