Our society is clearly based on Christian morality and ethos. Though, like you I doubt the commitment of many Canadians to a specific religion, even though they may continue to self identify with the one they were born with. I'm an Atheist, have been since before I was a teenager.  I have...

But that slaughter would be the only sure way to replace Stephie De-yawn.

How about you read what is written.  The law of the United States is based on the moral code of Christian belief.  That is why there are still places in the US where sodomy is a crime.  That's why in our country up until recently there was no shopping on Sunday.  That's why in Germany variations...

Because Saddam's thugocracy was better than a democratically established Islamic republic?  What are you smoking.  You realize of course that you could as easily call the United States the Christian republic of the United States of America in that law in the USA, and the rest of the western...

  No thanks, that's the first step to self censorship.   No, not really.  The people who are helping them are the same people who are protesting this film but couldn't be bothered to denounce the attacks in New York, Bali, London or Madrid with the same zeal.   No we don't.  We need for the...

Is there anything in the film that is not true?  Why defend the indefensible? Are you saying that we (the west) should just ignore the problem?  We just shut up and not mention the fact that these people have sworn to butcher each and every one of us?  We should ignore their warnings because...

Do we really?  When the bi-election was held last month didn't Dion appoint a liberal candidate in Sask?  Yes, yes she didn't win, but that really isn't the point.  How many Liberal voters, i.e. those who believe in the progressive politics of the liberal left, voted for Dion's stool pigeon...

The reason those people were able to get away with it is that the police employed the now established, politically correct non-confrontational practice of legal pragmatism.  This is the PC practise of measuring the "actual" damage caused by any such group, be they Terrorist wannabes in England...

I believe that we have reached the point in this country where the will, good and interests of the nation are a distant and tertiary second to the need, good and interests of the political parties. I'm not trying to single out the Liberals here, but their Leader has enunciated the policy...

I've noticed this too and the real thing is that the accomplishments of the government are being reported in the news.  A couple of days ago there was an article noting that the Department of Indian affairs had cleared 54 land claims in the last year (a substantial increase over the norm and 4...

Ok, I'll buy that.  But if I wereplaying like that Communists/socialists would still top my list. Debatable, all societies/individuals choose their leadership if by no other means than default/abdication.

Wow, talk about playing the self-blame game. I'd start with Communism/socialism and work my way to the religious of all stripes, then the racists, then the colonizers, then the monarchs and way down the list somewhere would be the progressives and pacifists.

This feel good piece will be followed immediately by a corresponding drop in the polls. Desperation you could cut with a knife.

To go along with what Thucydides is saying about progressive definitions.  The concept of "hate speech" is an anti-concept that clumps real hate (antisemitism, Nazism, racism) with the imagined hate of blunt honesty, exposure of hypocrisies and politically correct appeasement policies. It's all...

The movie has been removed from LiveLeak because of "credible threats on the lives of LiveLeak staff".  Yup, peaceful, respectful, etc, etc, etc. :skull:

To tell the truth I'm not nearly as concerned about the how and who of the HoC I'd be way, way more happy if we had hard, fast and enforceable limits on the ability of government to legislate outside of certain functions such as the rule of law, national security and policing. Eliminate the...

Be a man don't like Dion.  ;D

All those other parties are dividing a (shrinking?) piece of the left side of the pie, leaving only the CPC to express the views of those on the right, small and large "C" conservatives, libertarians etc. I agree though I'd love to see Harper shred Dion in a real election, not that it would be...

Although I'm on the record here in other threads as thinking that Dion is merely a seat warmer for the Liberal King in waiting (Trudeau) I'm going to call it now that he will never be permitted to lead the Liberal Party in an election...

Of course, it would be more likely that such a government would not be able to get out of our way.
