We have often been told over many decades, by some of our less than stalwart pevious leaders, that our Canadian society should be one of tolerance. I not only dislike the sound of that word, I resent what it entails for us as a society.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (May 29, 1874 – June 14, 1936) was an influential English writer of the early 20th century. His prolific and diverse output included journalism, philosophy, poetry, biography, Christian apologetics, fantasy and detective fiction. He was referred to as the 'Prince of Paradox'.
G.K.Chesterton was once quoted as stating: "Tolerance is the virtue of a man with no principles".
I believe this to be absolutely true. In our blind, headlong race to be recognized as the most 'politically-correct' nation on the face of the Earth, we have become conditioned to allow, accept and tolerate just about anything, to the exclusion of our own values, our own principles, our own culture and our own beliefs.
Does anyone remember the assinine: "Don't mention Christmas, it might offend someone...", phase we just went through??? Or hey, how about harkening back to the outlawing of the English language in the province of Quebec? For anyone who is even remotely familiar with history, Germany did the same thing in 1939, except their target was their country's Jewish population.
If someone is offended by 'Christmas' (and I'm pretty much an atheist...), I'd say it was time for them to get back on the fucking boat p.d.q. and find themselves another country that might put up with that type of lunacy! Because trust me, that will not happen here again!!
For those of us who reside outside of Quebec, if a certain brand of religion would mistreat a section of your population, would you allow for it to be practised? If a certain religion calls for the destruction of all others, or the eradication of your society, is it prudent to allow it's followers to take up residence in your country? If such was the case, and your immigration officials were not using religious profiling to decide who would be allowed to immigrate to your mainly christian, North-American mentality country, I'd say that you had a pretty large problem...
This would lead to religious fanatics and zealots setting down roots in your country, while being absolutely free to practise their brand of hate-mongering. Oh wait... That would be the Arars of Ottawa!! How silly of me...
We'll not discuss Quebec's immigration track record, as they have their own political agenda (50%+1), which drives them to accept anyone, so long as their native tongue is French. They also have possibly the largest enclave of Algerians in North America, most of whom call Montreal home... Many are on the lam from their own country, with several wanted in other countries as well.
This is the fare which is being allowed into our country? Any country that would compromise it's safety and freedom, simply to avoid being seen as 'unkind', deserves neither freedom nor security. We are playing into the hands of our enemies. A brutal and determined enemy, who suffers none of the false social graces that we seem to be afflicted by. If we are not up to the task of taking this country, rest assured that they are...
If any of you needs a reminder as to what type of individuals we are dealing with here, go view the beheading video of Nicholas Berg. Then stand there and tell me how melodramatic I'm being. No, don't even try to begin telling me that "this was an isolated instance". Are you retarded??? Have you any idea how many such tapes were made, of how many victims? Clearly, no. You don't...
It gives me hope that our present administration, is not inclined to buy into this particular brand of bullshit. Nor is it willing to follow the misguided notion that we are by any stretch of the imagination, simply a nation of rent-a-cop 'Peacekeepers'. Now if we can only get them to overhaul the entire CIC program...
Only a fool would attempt to keep the peace, where there is yet no peace to be kept. For many more years than our current generation can recall, we have also been a nation of peace makers. No doubt our gum-snapping youngsters are having a good look around nowadays, as the hearses bring back the bodies of our war dead. I hope they are properly horrified when the realization dawns on them that all of this, all they know and take so for granted, has a very hefty price tag indeed. None of this is free and it never has been. It's just been a good long while since this country has been asked to ante up and pay it's dues as a citizen of the Free World.
