getting revved up again

i've been thinking a lot about the democratic deficit paul martin purported to support. i knew he was lying. most conservatives knew he was lying. why the hell didn't the (unbiased? ha!) media know he was lying?

he rammed through c-38. he bought a conservative mp. he tried to buy a few more. he forced his caucus to vote the party line, not what their constituents wanted. he ignored what amounted to a non-confidence vote.

hate to break it to you, folks, but we now live in a dictatorship. we've actually done so for a while.

the part that scares me, though, is that, more and more, it's becoming a "big brother" dictatorship. religion is being attacked in the name of separation of church and state. in reality, the separation of church and state wasn't implemented to protect the state from being influenced by religion--it was to make sure religion wasn't attacked by the state. and now it is being attacked. want proof? go to toronto and tell everyone that you're religious. christian, muslim, jewish, hindu, i don't care. what do you think the response will be? does the word "leper" come to mind?

i work with university-educated people (and am one myself) and a lot of the time religion and religious people (like myself) are attacked. not for any reason in particular. just for having faith. faith, which is so sorely lacking in today's society. it seems, especially in canada, that many pray at the altar of me-me-me-now-now-now. no forward-looking and no helping others.

really, what's wrong with being a christian? a hindu? a jew? a muslim? any person of faith? just because we believe in something that can't be proven or disproven doesn't make us stupid, or crazy, or whatever.

ask paul martin.

he's a devout catholic.
