The Crazy Results Of Liberalization

Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant recently won a battle against the Human Rights Council in Canada. Basically, they published some articles in Maclean's magazine that weren't particularly kind to Muslims. Despite being accurate and factually true, Muslims sued them before the HRC to shut them up. Eventually, these two beat back the charges, but if they weren't such big media figures (with deep pockets), there's no telling if they would have won.

Translation: you and I wouldn't stand a chance if we got targeted like this. But this is standard procedure for the HRC. Watch:

This is the full bloom of liberalization. In Canada, it is a more advanced cancer than in America, but not by much. If you're a long-time reader of this blog, you've seen numerous examples like these of how liberal policies always eventually come into conflict with each other, not to mention in conflict with things like the law and common sense.

In one of the most inspiring and well-stated videos I've seen in a long time, here's Levant defending himself in one interview with a state attorney (I believe this was during the HRC lawsuit):

Levant is exactly correct on this! A right is a right. The motivation and intent behind an action -- if it is a legal action -- cannot be used to determine if the right should be protected. That's what thought police do, and that only happens in oppressive Communist regimes and stories like Orwell's 1984.

And yet, this is exactly what we see happening here in America. It's the creep of liberalism, and it will not stop unless we deliberately and aggressively refuse to accept it. Standing up for our rights and freedoms, as established by the Constitution of the United States, is critical if we wish to preserve this country as a free and prosperous nation for our children and our grandchildren.

If you choose not to get involved, you are, in fact, choosing to take a side: the one that will allow our freedoms to be chipped away, day by day.

There's my two cents.
