It&#039;s like a bad remake of Brave New World or 1984.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A most excellent article Mr. Bawer, my congratulations to you. On the question of Islam, I find it intriguing that, during the 2010 mayoral elections in Toronto, Ontario, Muslims and Tamils put up posters and broadcast radio commercials to their communities &quot;suggesting&quot; that they do not vote for one of the leading candidates. That candidate was George Smitherman, an openly gay politician. After Smitherman appeared on a local TV show with another man he refers to as his husband (and their two year old adopted son), things got a little personal. The Muslims put up posters with the question, &#039;should a Muslim vote for a man who calls another man his husband?&#039; Subtle, eh?
 Local  Tamils language radio broadcast a political commercial with two people having a conversation that went like this:

1. Who are you voting for?
2. I&#039;m voting for Rob Ford
1. Why are you voting for Rob Ford?
2. Because his wife is a woman!

The more vocal members of the gay community immediately blamed Rob Ford for fostering an &#039;atmosphere of homophobia and hate,&#039; even though he had nothing to do with either campaign.  Noticeably absent was the outraged gays protests out side the local mosque or Tamil radio station. it was easier (and more convenient to blame Rob Ford than to provoke the wrath of the local Imam.  However, had these campaigns been run by a local Baptist church or Mormon Temple, there would have been furious protests, and the pastor and all involved would have been charged with &quot;hate speech&quot; and most likely convicted. 

It is worrying when certain groups get a free pass every time when they promote blatant discrimination and prejudice against an identifiable group of people, while individuals like Bill Whatcott  get clobbered every time. Then again, he&#039;s not issuing  any fatwas against &quot;infidels.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Words fail the trained mind when confronted with the politically correct double talk and Orwellian nightmare unfolding in Canada. The arrogance of the Supreme Court is terrifying. It&#039;s clear that those in places of politically correct  judicial power have no intention of giving it up and the redefinition of political and judicial terminology is how they plan to to keep it. First and foremost is the taking away of the right to publicly disagree with your opponents in the name of the &quot;great good&quot;. That &quot;good&quot; of course, being defined by the one who creates the laws! Then of course, truth must never allowed to be a defense. After all, if it can be shown that truth comes down on the side of the group you are trying to marginalize, well, that will never do! What really burned me about this article was the cavalier attitude toward the rights of religious groups. &quot;Oh, well, the only people who really really have their rights restricted are those religious bigots anyway.&quot;  I mean really, what have religious people ever done to deserve our protection? Dear God help us. Where is Thomas Paine when you need him? A little common sense would do us all some good right now! ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[No I don&#039;t understand the statist-collectivist anti-concept of protected classes. There is a difference between pre-puberty sex by real pedophiles and having sex with 14-17 year olds who are sexually mature. I furthermore don&#039;t think any protections to pre-puberty children should be extended to adults. I thought this site forbade ad hominem attacks.  
No there is no such entity as &#039;society&#039; and no there is no &#039;We&#039; that agrees on everything.  ]]></description>

There are all kinds of things you can&#039;t do to or with children as a result of the protection we afford children. As a society, we&#039;ve agreed that there is an axiomatic relationship between viewing child porn creating the demand for it and the meeting of that demand by the production of it. On that moral basis we have banned the ownership of child porn. We have various protected classes in society - this shouldn&#039;t be hard to understand, even for someone as brutish as you, yes?  ]]></description>

By your goofball nonreasoning one who looked at pictures of Auschwitz would be equivalent to an SS guy who worked there. The crime in child pornography is solely the use of underage children who are held in a condition of white slavery and abused. 
No law means no law as Justice Hugo Black argued in a rare moment of intellectual lucidity. regarding the First Amendment. 
This phony left-right non debate pits two groups of competing statists. This jerk in Canada was a statist and was just hoisted by his own petard. The decision is outrageous but entirely what one would expect from the police state of Canada.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, ye ole ladder of political correctness comes to the fore once again. A heterosexual White man is not allowed to denigrate homosexuals, yet nobody will ever touch a Muslim who preaches death against the homosexuals. All the court has done is prove the prevailing belief that the amount of rights you have depend on your position on the ladder of political correctness. As a heterosexual, not disabled, not criminal White man, I am positioned at the bottom of that ladder. As a consequence, &quot;polite society&quot; has determined that I live a privileged life and must wave my rights to freedom of speech, and protection from persecution and physical harm in favour of those further up the ladder of political correctness.

		<description><![CDATA[This ruling falls perfectly in line with Sharia. It is interesting to note that, in Canada, it is not legally possible for a &quot;minority&quot; [moslems] to commit a hate crime against the &quot;majority&quot;. Hence they are feel free to say and do whatevever they want to Christians and others with no fear of the &quot;hate crime&quot; kangaroo courts.

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm...to repeat -- The Supreme Court decision was about The Human Rights Commissions. In each province there is one Human Rights Commission. These Commissions are NOT -- repeat NOT -- courts. These commissions are informal bodies -- there are No robed judges -- the Head of the Commission may or may not have legal training. The Head of the Commission adjudicates (makes a decision); they are like provincial bureaucrats who have been appointed to their position. Hearsay evidence is admissible (that is, &quot;I heard from my friend that so and so said X!&quot;) So, let us return to your rude statements. According to the Supreme Court&#039;s ruling -- if you merely demonstrated &quot;hatred&quot; -- that&#039;s OK. However, if your hatred arises to the level of &quot;detestation&quot; -- then,Voila! You can be found to have violated The Human Rights Act. This could result in a 20,000 dollar (maximum) payment to your &quot;victim&quot; along with a maximum 10,000 dollar penalty. You are not &quot;prosecuted&quot; -- no cops are involved -- someone just needs to take offense and file a complaint to a Human Rights Board -- that is what happened to Ezra Levant, Mark Steyn, etc. They can&#039;t put you in jail for violating the Human Rights Act (unless of course you refuse to pay up, then you&#039;d be liable for a contempt charge and possible jail time). Oh, and truth is no defense (truth in Canada can now be labeled &quot;hate&quot;); your  intentions count for nothing (so claiming that you were just joking won&#039;t get you off); and hurt feelings by our designated grievance groups (gays, Muslims, Albinos,  
etc) trump all. (Btw, all of the above does not even address The Criminal Code&#039;s anti Hate Speech -- that&#039;s a separate matter -- in which you can be arrested by the police, etc). ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know if we&#039;re going to see a flood of Canadians into this country,but because of this idiotic ruling,we just might. Also,I hope that Jew hating piece of filth Mr. Polly returns to the ooze from which he was spawned from. We have enough problems in the world. We don&#039;t need anymore from that creep.

		<description><![CDATA[The only news network that comes close to the frank discussion of islamofascism seen on  Sun News in the USA is CBN (Pat Robertson&#039;s Christian news network). Formerly, I wouldn&#039;t of considered Pat Robertson&#039;s show a news show, but considering the fact all the other MSM outlets act as nothing more than propaganda outlets for islamofascism I&#039;ve re-evaluated my viewpoint on CBN. ]]></description>
