Peace Rally
Well sadly I decided to read the Toronto newspapers online today and ran into an article that reved me up for whatever reason.
The link is http://www.torontosun.com/News/TorontoAndGTA/2006/08/13/1751998-sun.html
As I read this article all I can do is laugh. Let me state that I have no issue whatsoever in someone having the right to speak whatever they want, no matter how stupid. Having free speech is something that free countries should treasure. Free speech doesn't always mean that someone smart will say something, it also allows morons, and hypocrites the same rights as intelligent sane people. However that is a free society. But again it gives me the right to make fun of them.
So as I see people demonstrate against Isreal in a supposed "Peace rally" I could not overlook the irony of what was taking place. First I am not sure that at a "Peace rally" I would see a countries flag burned. I am not sure what the peaceful message was in that, however I digress.
I also laughed to see that NDP officials were at a "Peace rally" that was chanting for a terrorist organization Hezbollah. I guess since the NDP have no chance ever to lead this country maybe there philospohy is now to start supporting terrorists and get the Islamic vote. Maybe someone forgot to tell the NDP this was not a rally for the homeless, Oh well, An interesting strategy to say the least.
I also started to think, that these people that support Hezbollah from an ocean away (I might add how courageous that is), just maybe don't appreciate what it is like to be Canadian. I mean I am sure if I went to Lebanon and held a Christian "Peace Rally" I am sure that I would be treated the same as they were in Canada yesterday. I can think of nothing bad that would happen to me if I burnt a Muslims countries flag in Lebanon, Can you? Maybe these people who support Hezbollah should instead thank God (Allah, or that elephant, whatever you believe) that they live in this country, and support the country that allows them to put on such idiotic protests and doesn't arrest you for burning flags. Maybe it is just me.
I wonder what would have happened if some Isreal Canadians showed up at the Lebanon embassy and started protesting against sick people that believe there cause would be furthered by blowing themselves up and some innocent civilians. Imagine if they burned the Lebanese flag, I wonder what they would be called, Hmmmm, I am sure no response would come from Muslim organizations in Canada. Ooops wouldn't that be free speech too? I am sure we would hear that they are racist against the Islam religion right? Kinda would show the hypocrisy of free speech eh?
By the way watch CBC or CNN news and count the time focused on deaths in Lebanon and then how much time they spend on the Isreali deaths. I think it is very fair and unbiased. LOL. I see how upset Canadians (including myself) are that 26 Canadians have been killed in Afghanistan since 2002. Well I would ask those people to count how many Isrealis were killed in attacks from organizations like Hezboallah.
On another note I don't know what I missed but somehow it became the coolest thing to wear these bracelets that support causes such as cancer, and feed the world and the such. They cost what $2 and do what? The money goes to feeding a kid in Africa, while you get to show everyone how cool you are that you want to save the world. Well I am sure that kid who got your $2 thanks you that he can after the government eats 75% can take that 50 cents to get some rice. This liberal view that everyone needs to be saved seems to be the rage now. Well I have an idea for a bracelet. It would be black with a white splash on it. I will let you guess what it would support. It means the same as those other damn bracelets. Nothing. But I understand if it is cool to wear those bracelets and save the world kinda stuff. Anyone who knows me knows that I have been on the outskirts of cool my whole life.
Cheers
