Canada's Orwellian Fascism - can and will McCain preserve Free Speech in the U.S.?
I've been following Mark Steyn for years, and his book "America Alone" is an insightful, humorous, well-defined analysis of the island of liberty and freedom of expression that we have become. When I first read the title of the post Fascism Has Come to Canada, I thought perhaps Leviticus 20 was referring to Steyn's thought crime trial this week in Vancouver, B.C. which Steyn, Hugh Hewitt and Rich Lowry have covered in their respective venues.
This video on "Canada's Corrupt Human Rights Commission" was censored from YouTube, but it's currently being independently hosted by a Tory blogger. In it, Ezra Levant, author, journalist, lawyer and conservative political activist, accuses Richard Warman, biggest fan of the Canadian Human Rights Commission which named the Old Testament verse condeming homosexuaity as a hate crime and is allegedly seeking to block foreign (i.e. American) Internet sites for hate speech, as one of the bloggers (using the S/N pogue_mahone) posting that self-same hate speech on the very sites he wishes to block or shut down - akin to an FBI agent planting cocaine on the person he wishes to incarcerate. I don't know where this will lead, but Ezra Levant is at least trying to boldly block the doorway.
If I understand my Libertarian colleagues' concerns about McCain's suppression of free speech with McCain-Feingold, coupled with his insistence on being "respectful" at all times including during the contact sport of political campaigning, combined with the "great man" syndrome which compels him to do "great things", perhaps they would like McCain to emphatically assure us that the U.S. is not going to going to go all weaselly in the way of Canada. Eh?
