Spectre’s Sayings

Why can’t real debates be this entertaining?

Man first landed on the moon. That was a great accomplishment.

But the fact we haven’t been back in 36 years is simply a travesty.

Brendan Loy has a good blog post about the Tennessee man arrested for “unlawful photography” after photographing cop on public highway.

I hope Mr. Conover has a really good lawyer. The unnamed sheriff’s deputy, and the Johnson County sheriff’s office, need to be held accountable for their crimes.

Levant to Congress: put Canada on the watch list of human rights abusers.

An excerpt:

In other words, Canadian human rights commissions — secular government organizations — are prosecuting religious fatwas. It’s a soft jihad against any criticism of radical Islam. It’s called “lawfare”, and it’s a greater danger to our western values of freedom, religious pluralism and the separation of church and state than the hard jihad of terrorism is. Even if targets like Maclean’s eventually “win”, they lose; the process is the punishment – and the chill affects everyone else.

Canadian human rights commissions, however, are not respectful of the sensitivities of all religions. Less politically correct faiths are regularly prosecuted by them. This May, an Alberta pastor named Stephen Boissoin was given a lifetime gag order, never to say anything critical of homosexuality – not in a church sermon, not even in private e-mails. As well, in what can only be called a Maoist verdict, he has been ordered to renounce his religious beliefs, and to publish a self-denunciation in the local newspaper.

This is Canada we’re talking about. Not Iran, not China, not Cuba.

It seems like the Democrat-controlled Congress, led by Nancy Pelosi, now has record low approval ratings. Next to Congress, President Bush is Mr. Popularity.

But Nancy’s not worried, folks. After all, what’s important isn’t what the American people want. Nosiree! It’s what the interests of her caucus are. That’s what’s important.

Update: This website will tell you the most popular word in Congress on any given day. Neat.

Deborah Gyapong: CHRC dismisses complaint against Catholic Insight.

Well, that’s good, I suppose. But why doesn’t the Canadian Parliament do away with the CHRC altogether?
