Conservative: “opposed to hasty changes in the
political, … or civil institutions of the country;
that which preserves” ( Definitions from, National
Dictionary 1941 Edition)
The above definition casts in doubt what Conservative
stands for today. Do they still “preserve” that which
is good?
For instance, there is much talk about what the
Conservative Party has to do to win a federal
election. The media of course - liberal - in its views
wants the party to dump the people called “social
conservatives.” At one time words like honesty,
decency, morality and justice meant something and
people knew these standards of behavior were to be
admired and sought after. Now these values are sneered
at and labeled “social conservative.” Yet at one time
most decent political parties espoused these ethics.
If the Conservative party wants some credibility, I
believe it has to stop apologizing for having social
conservatives and start promoting these values once
again. These are values any decent society should
treasure. The Conservative Party must stop being
politically correct and instead be politically
principled. For if you stand for nothing you will
fall for anything.
Now, let’s look at some of the issues that most of the
politicians are afraid to take a stand on:
Abortion: There is no excuse today for anyone to be
ignorant on this subject. Abortion kills the child in
the womb. We can see the child on ultra-sound. Doctors
can perform corrective surgery on the child before
birth. Abortionists fail to kill some babies and they
are born alive after abortion but left to die. Yet
most politicians of all political stripes parrot that
banal word “choice.” In fact our “devout Catholic”
prime minister - during the election campaign - to his
shame assailed anyone who dared to question this
“choice” that killed the baby. He in fact was
trumpeting so-called “freedom to choose” at most every
opportunity. These are the words that are used to
disguise the act that dare not speak its real name:
Baby killing. The other party leaders also tried to
outdo each other, declaring their support for this
abominable act of killing by “choice.” Mangled
language is used to mask the carnage of millions
killed by abortion in Canada.
Gay Marriage: Another perversion of and invention of
words. A man “marrying” a man or a woman “marrying” a
woman is an absurdity and those promoting it need
counseling. Marriage, any sane person knows, is between
a man and a woman. Yet, anyone who states this today
is ridiculed, vilified and scorned. How did we reach
this state of nonsense? It certainly was not agreed
upon by the majority of the people. As usual, this
dictum was handed down by non-elected elites called
judges, who then partied with gay activists for same
-sex marriage. This nonsense was also supported by
many politicians as well as promoted by the liberal media and claimed as an “equality right” by a special interest group. Not many politicians have the courage to stand up and say: “This is claptrap.”
Child Pornography: This is another blight on our
society. The politicians cannot pass a decent law
protecting innocent children. Yet, they can pass a law
protecting deviant behavior, and make it a “hate
crime” for anyone who dares to criticize this behavior
as abnormal. They sure have their political priorities
all screwed up. Why is it taking so long for a law on
child pornography, surely we don’t have perverts in
positions of power?
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms: This is the
document that rules our lives. One might call it the
most important document in the country. We are told by
the politicians that, “the people love it.” This is
strange to say the least, for the people never got a
chance to vote on this document that it is claimed, “they love.” Certainly, the ex-lawyers, now called judges, love it. They just “read in” whatever turns them on. Then the politicians tell the people “the court has ruled.” Which begs the question. When did the people vote to be ruled by court jesters who hallucinate and dreamt up words not in The Charter? The fact is: The only place words can mean anything you want them to mean is in “Alice in Wonderland.” Which was fiction. Now Wonderland has become fact. Is The Mad Hatter sitting on the bench? Or do we have a whole family of Mad Hatters sitting on the benches? Has “the
independence of the judiciary” gone over the edge and
landed in Wonderland? Oops, I forgot, one dare not
cast aspersions on the lawyers, oops I mean judges or
the “beloved” Charter.
“Wrong rules the land…" (J. G. Holland)
The issues mentioned above are just some of the many
that needs to be addressed if this country is to stop
its descent into moral nihilism. The doors have been
opened, and all that was taboo was given admittance.
Now the irrational are running loose and making the
laws. Instead of justice we have injustice. Instead of
honesty we have absurdity. Instead of decency we have
depravity. Instead of morality we have immorality. Of
course, it is not politically correct to say this. But
if we don’t get a political party into power who are
prepared to stand up for what is right - then this
country of ours is destined to finish up in the gutter
of history. The old words, truth, justice, morality,
honesty and decency, now ridiculed as Social
Conservatism need to be returned to public life.
