Jim Hughes, President of the Campaign Life Coalition, digs himself a deeper hole:
Hughes, however, says that CLC is more than happy to remove the [illegally used Canada] wordmark from [CLC] banners, and will do so immediately.
“If I’d known that there was a logo representing the federal government on the signs,” said Hughes, “I would have had it ripped off because of the continuous support by the federal government for the killing of two million children in this country.” "
Wilfully destroying national symbols to score cheap political points, an act Mr. Hughes contemplates in the above-passage, is a distasteful feature of modern democratic discourse, but one we must necessarily defend in the name of free thought and free speech.
That said, Mr. Hughes really ought to be grateful that fellow Conservatives like Mark Warawa have never gained the upper-hand in this country.
Sue them into bankruptcy so we won't have that blight on Parliament Hill again.
ReplyDeleteLets see how fast the handcuffs come out for these people as compared to a concerned publc employee.
Whooee! Didn't Suzanne say the logo was put there for patriotic reasons?

Mr. Hughes is using the same sort of language about federal governments that the pro-life suicide bombers in the US do.
ReplyDeleteThis guys may just be a home grown terrorist. Someone should keep an eye on him. He obviously hates the government and has no respect for our symbols.
What if he said he was an anarchist who didn't believe in government, or a Marxist who didn't believe in the 'ownership' of trademarks or copyrights? Then you'd be singing his praises.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with suppressing a little freedom of speech with a vindictive lawsuit, right? That's how all left-wing dictators operate, why should you guys be any different.
"We're all for tolerance and free expression of opinions, provided they match ours. Otherwise we'll ram it down your throat anyway."
Yes JimBobby, that kinda puts the kibosh on Suzanne's claim.
ReplyDeleteWonder if Mr. Hughes ever flies a Canadian flag?
Thanks for providing that update BigCityLib!

ReplyDeleteYes, but in SUZANNE's defense, she was lying.
