Rocksolid Proof that the Cultural Left as Contempt for Free Speech

Former Liberal cabinet minister Alan “censorship” Rock was revealed to be at the center of the University of Ottawa,  Coulter controversy earlier this year. It’s clear that the cultural left has contempt for free expression and only believes in free speech , where they have the ability to control it.  Of course, we do not want to hurt any one’s feelings or further disadvantage anymore groups as a result of some one’s expressing an opinion we disagree with. But didn’t you hear the last thing universities are for are to expand one’s mind, as well as ones horizons. The cultural left is fostering a bizarre politically correct version of far left group think within universities . Where a cult of conformity has become the new norm.

Ann Coulter is a mean-spirited, small-minded, foul-mouthed poltroon,” Rock wrote to Houle in a March 18 email. “She is ‘the loud mouth that bespeaks the vacant mind’.”


“She is an ill-informed and deeply offensive shill for a profoundly shallow and ignorant view of the world. She is a malignancy on the body politic. She is a disgrace to the broadcasting industry and a leading example of the dramatic decline in the quality of public discourse in recent times.”


After seeing a copy of the final email to Coulter, Rock praised Houle: “Quel excellent message! Merci et felicitations. I am sure she has never been dressed down so elegantly in her life!”

The Political Genius Of Laureen Harper

As Stephen Harper shines on the world stage playing host during the upcoming G8 and G. 20 Summit in Toronto. Harper’s star would not be able to shine so brightly without the thoughtful political genius of Laureen Harper. Harper  would not be a fully formed political entity that he is today without the help from his wife, Mrs. L Harper. It’s clear that Mrs. Harper keeps her hand on the pulse of not public opinion and popular culture as well.  Mrs. Harper is considered one of the strongest women in the capital and has an overwhelmingly positive influence on the prime minister. With the distance of time and hindsight of history we might fully understand the Harper’s as a political team.

“She’s an enormous asset to him,” says long-time friend John Reynolds, who served as interim Canadian Alliance leader until Harper took over in 2002. “Of all the prime ministerial wives going back to Louis St. Laurent — and I guess I’m dating myself here — she’s probably the most astute of anyone we’ve ever had . . . She’s worked very, very hard to get him where he is today.”
 

Here Comes A Ray of Right-Wing Sun

A new day has dawned for Canadian Cable News and it is glorious. Finally, Canada is going to get a Conservative alternative to the stand pat and politically correct pablum of CBC and CTV. The Sun Media Corporation is launching an all-new 24-Hour News and opinions channel and won’t be afraid to test the boundaries of political correctness and polite society in Canada.  For too long Canadian news has self-censored themselves to try and fit the narrow ideology of speech codes and human rights czars. More importantly, if successful it will push the boundaries of polite political discussion in Canada into necessary but important waters. The first duty of any news organization is to question the political power in the culture. If our news organizations don’t ask hard questions and just become echo chambers for self-fulfilling prophecies, this makes our democracy less free not more.

What is the Price of Free Speech?


There is a definite difference between the way Liberals and Conservatives approach the fundamental value of free speech. For Liberals it is something to be closely monitored and controlled. It seems there is more of an adversarial tone when liberals do not have the mechanisms of government to control speech.

Time’s Joe Klein has accused several critics of Obama—including Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, and Fox News in general—not just of “hate speech” but of the more legally serious “borderline sedition.” After Coburn warned that some citizens might be saying, “ ‘I give up on my government,’ and rightly so,” Klein charged that the senator’s statement “comes dangerously close to incitement to violence.” Needless to say, Klein wasn’t talking about criminalizing dissent back in the Bush-Cheney years.
