"Same-sex marriage is not a basic human right.
"(It) does not appear in any recognized human rights
document. It's not in the Charter of Rights. It's not
in the Canadian Bill of Rights. It's not in the
European Convention of Rights, It's not in the
American Bill of Rights.
"It's a social experiment, and I personally think it's
a dangerous social experiment."[1] Ted Morton
I believe the so-called “free vote” on the same-sex
marriage issue this fall is a Con job. So-called
“same-sex marriage” was never in the Charter and P.M.
Harper knows this or should know this. Yet, people are
being suckered into believing that this vote is a sign
of Mr. Harper’s commitment to the democratic process.
Even if this vote passed, which is highly unlikely,
the issue would have to pass in the Liberal-dominated
Senate or the Obscene Court, oops I mean the Supreme
Court, of Canada. And if the court runs true to form
it would find a way to make this nonsense of same-sex
marriage “legal” just like the lower courts did. (What
makes this farce even worse is that the Bloc
Quebecois, which is in favour of “same-sex marriage,”
is a party that wants to separate from Canada, and
does not want to be CANADIAN, yet it will be allowed
to vote on this so-called “same-sex marriage" issue
for Canadians. Does it get any crazier than this?)
The only way to rid the country of this abomination is
the use of the notwithstanding clause. Unfortunately,
P.M. Harper is on record as saying, regarding same-sex
marriage, "I will never use the notwithstanding clause
on that issue." [2]
I believe Mr. Harper is being wishy-washy on this
issue. People are being fooled into believing that
this silly vote on nonsense will somehow give Harper
credibility. Let’s face it, this vote, is a vote on a
lie, and all it is doing is giving credence that
somehow this lie is votable. I believe it is a Con job
(no pun intended) designed to give a sop of hope to
the “true believers” who cannot see they are being
conned for the sake of their votes. And even suppose,
by some miracle, that the politicians did do the right
thing for a change and vote against same-sex marriage,
this nonsense would still be with us. P.M. Harper is
on record as saying, "Even if members decided to
change the definition and bring it back to the
traditional definition, we have to respect same-sex
marriages that already exist,…" [3]
So there you have it straight from the political
horses mouth, “we have to respect same-sex marriages
that already exist,…” Is that a nice mealy-mouthed
politically correct, liberal answer or what from
Harper? Harper says he is in favour of traditional
marriage, but wants to “ respect same-sex marriages
that already exist.” Is he talking out of both sides
of his mouth at the same time on this issue?
And on the issue of “two gay” Mounties marrying each
other, a Canadian press story had this headline:
“Prime Minister's Office muzzles MPs on wedding of gay
Mounties” the story went on to say: “The Prime
Minister's Office has warned Conservative MPs not to
comment on the marriage next month of two gay RCMP
constables."
"The gag order went to all MPs but was aimed at 'the
small minority who might say something stupid,' said
one caucus member." [4] So there you have it, Mr.
Harper, the man who was opposed to “gag laws” appears
to be gagging his own followers. Is this hypocrisy
from him on an important moral issue?
And on another great moral issue of our time, the
killing of the innocent child in the womb, what is Mr.
Harper’s stance on that? This news story had this to
say:
“Meanwhile, Harper was emphatic Wednesday he would
defend the status quo for abortion on demand.” The
story quoted Mr. Harper as saying this:
"A Conservative government will not be bringing
forward, will not be supporting, and will not be
debating the abortion laws in this country.
"I've been clear on that and, frankly, I think that's
put the matter to rest." [5]
There you have it again, a nice liberally correct
answer that the killing of the innocent child in the
womb will continue under a “conservative” government.
What a callous comment from a supposedly intelligent
man!!
I believe on these two important moral issues of today
Mr. Harper and his “conservative” government are
failing society. How can Mr. Harper say he “respects”
this lie of same-sex marriages that already “exist,”
when he is supposedly a supporter of traditional
marriage? And how can Mr. Harper say the abortion
issue has been put “to rest” when the innocent child
in the womb is carved up, cut to pieces, suctioned
out, poisoned by a saline solution and sometimes born
alive and left die? Nobody in their right mind would
call these barbaric acts carried out on the innocent
child in the womb as putting “the matter to rest." The
man may be a “policy wonk” but, on the important moral
issues of today, I believe, his policies are wonky.
