What's Happening to Canada?

Lately I have been reading some very scary articles. They include stories of people not allowed to fly a Canadian flag in front of their home.

Meanwhile, some lunatics in Edmonton claim white Canadians “have likely harmed non-white people with our own whiteness.” So, now, just what are white people supposed to do? I shudder to even think of what these morons will promote next.


And I just couldn't leave out those loons "Queers against Israeli apartheid"--Huh? Do they even realize that in every muslim country they would be beaten, hung, or both  (or worse) for being gay? I bet these two teenage boys would question the sanity behind QAIA.

While they demonstrate to boycott Israel did they even bother to check facts? It is the only country in the Middle-East where gays live freely including being allowed to adopt--just ask all the muslims who sneak into Tel Aviv.

The latest group of idiots reared their heads to desecrate those who put themselves on the line for this country and freedom everywhere. The are challenging the traditional "Red Poppy". There are many stories of the "origin". It  began in  November 1918 with one woman's pledge to keep the faith. By 1921 a group of widows suggested they be sold as a means of raising money to aid those who were incapacitated as a result of the war and by 1923, the Red Poppy was recognized, along with the poem  In Flanders Fields, around the world.

Now they want to desecrate  November 11th, by pushing the "white poppy" for peace--to do away with all that war crap, because as they say "you don't have to go to war to get peace". I suppose, however, the enemy we are fighting is only interested in domination and I sure as hell will never wear a garbage bag over my head and live as an animal and call it peace!  Wake up Canada! Political Correctness is going to destroy everything that made you great!

I ran across a great article called Lest We Forget  found on the blog of Lumpy, Grumpy and Frumpy. Do take the time to check it out--I quote "Nineteen Canadians in uniform and one civilian have died in Afghanistan since Remembrance Day 2009. This is followed by the names which are in fact links to a personal page with photo and full story. I found this abbreviated version at the National Post.

Take the time to look  closely at each face--these are real people with mums and dads, sisters, brothers, spouses and children. Read about who they were and the horrible way they were taken from this world--Then remind yourself that each one of them died so those who now desecrate their memories would have the freedom to do so. 

I am all for freedom of speech, but not when it is used to destroy those very freedoms. I am sick to death of seeing throw-backs from the dark ages streaming into free, democratic nations, sucking the life out of the medical and social welfare systems while calling for an end to freedom and justice.  I say to them all--if you don't like our freedom, justice or democracy--then go back to where you came from. Feel free to fatwa this.
