I am a free Canadian
October 14, 2008
While I don’t hold John Diefenbaker in the highest esteem, I definitely agree with his sentiments
regarding what it means to be a citizen of Canada:
a free Canadian,
free to speak without fear,
free to worship God in my own way,
free to stand for what I think right,
free to oppose what I believe wrong,
free to choose those who shall govern my country.
This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold
for myself and for all mankind.”
Please note, any and all homosexualactivists, Islamic fundamentalists, and other designated professional victims: this is what it means to be free. Running to the government with your every problem, and demanding that big poppa State step in to make the bad people shut up? That would be the antithesis of free.
Just a little something to reflect on this election day. If you want a free Canada, as defined above, the obvious vote is for the Conservative Party of Canada. A vote for any other party ensures that the tyranny of human rights commissions will not only continue, but expand.
And then we will only be able to speak in fear.
We will only be able to worship in ways that the state deems permissible.
We will not be free to stand for what we think right,
nor will we be free to oppose what we believe wrong.
And while we may retain the freedom to choose who shall govern our country,
it will be a hollow freedom.
