Danny Williams Canadian Flag Petition, Bud Talkinghorn-Justice? Carolers-Religious-Music Ban
Danny Williams Canadian Flag Petition -- You just have to check this!
[. . . . ] We as patriotic Canadians wish to inform you of our disapproval of your treatment of Canada's flag. As Paul Martin said in a statement issued on December 23rd, 2004:
"The Maple Leaf is the flag of all Canadians including every single Newfoundlander and Labradorian. It should not be treated as a tool for partisan politics."
We agree. [. . . . ]
The Prime Minister clearly has the moral high ground on this issue and we request that you follow the example that he has set for all Canadians in the day-to-day conduct of his own companies.
A few comments along with signatures are hilarious. Don't miss. Search "diss our flag" "destroying that damned country"
Bud Talkinghorn: God rest ye merry gentlemen--for you will be dismayed
The National Post editorial (Dec. 23) expressed sadness that the Senate-Parliamentary Committee's recommendations on divorce reform are not going to be implemented. Instead, Canadians will get male-bashing legislation cobbled together by Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and some faceless bureaucrats. The Justice Minister is much too preoccupied with setting up gay divorce laws to pass his own committee's recommendations. The editorial does not see that hold-up as a bad thing, since "the expected changes would mostly have served to tilt the anti-father bias of Canada's family courts even further in favour of women."
The new bill would have scrapped the provision that would grant fathers "maximum contact" with their kids. Also Cotler's bill would allow women to raise allegations of abuse in divorce proceedings, even if their had never been a previous complaint. That opens the gate wide for vindictive wives to seek sole custody. These amendments are diametrically opposed to the Senate-Parliamentary Committee's recommendations. Why go through the time and expense of these hearings if you are going to completely ignore them. Every day brings new revelations of a justice system that has lost its bearings.
It is bad enough that the advertising campaigns are exclusively anti-male; long-suffering, attractive females having to put up with their dim-witted, (often unattractive) male spouses and boyfriends. Quick, name one ad that features a man outwitting a woman. Come to think of it, take your time, because there aren't any. There is a conspiracy going on here and the worst part is that wimpish men are deeply involved in this social engineering. To make matters worse, the male students of Canada are falling away behind their female counterparts. Despite this fact, the feminists are still railing about the raw deal that females get in our education system. To end this on a humorous note, the Post has another column that says the N.B. Advisory Council on the Status of Women wants parents to prohibit Christmas toys that promote violence or sexual stereotyping. Ho, ho, ho, GI Joe has to go! Give little Bobby an Easy Bake Oven. After all, we don't need warriors, we need chefs--and interior decorators for the women's channels. God save ye merry gentlemen.
WASHINGTON -- Susan Rosenbluth and fellow Orthodox Jews yesterday came to Maplewood, N.J., to join a crowd of more than 100 carolers in singing Christmas and Hanukkah songs in front of Columbia High School.
Holiday hymns were sung in response to school policies that Steve Lonegan -- the Republican mayor of nearby Bogota, N.J., who organized the event -- called "intolerance" toward traditional religious beliefs.
The carolers showed up outside the school, which held its annual holiday music program last night, to protest a South Orange/Maplewood School District ban on religious songs at schools in this community across the Hudson River from New York.
"The greatest works of art in Western civilization are inspired by religious -- predominantly Christian -- convictions," said Mrs. Rosenbluth, editor of Jewish Voice and Opinion, an Englewood-based monthly.
"We are religious Jews who believe Western civilization is the heritage of all of our children in the United States," Mrs. Rosenbluth said, explaining why she and other Orthodox Jews joined the protest.
"This started out as a small event I decided last week to do," said Mr. Lonegan, who is Catholic. "I expected a handful of people and attacks against me by newspaper editors. Instead, there's this groundswell of support and the newspapers haven't attacked me -- yet." [. . . . ]
