Given recent statements by the federal New Democrats’ leader, Thomas Mulcair, one might see a Canada led by this man as a grim, gray place in which we all think alike, and in which those with opposing/differing views are shunned and shut-out of public funding.
So yet another bigot. The can say whatever they want regarding gays, it helps us spot the worthless bigots.
Read the article. Mulcair is saying Crossroads should not be funded because it disapproves of homosexuality. But at the same time he is Catholic and says not a word against Catholic doctrine. The charge is that Mulcair is a hypocrite, not a bigot.
But it is fair for any Canadian to hold homosexuality—meaning Homosexual acts—to be outside his or her moral code.
Here’s a thought. If it is outside of your moral code, don’t do it. How about that? And let other people live their lives as they see fit according to their moral codes. Why is my life or your life right (or wrong)? Why should I force my beliefs on you (whomever you are)?
I don’t care who holds what views, but when your views become supreme over mine, that’s when we have a problem.
Many religions and their charities in Canada, and around the world, hold same-gender sexual activities to be incompatible with their moral code, including Roman Catholics and Muslims. Are they all to be denied government funding?
In a word: yes. All humans deserve human rights. When you want to take them away, no government funding for you. Period. Full stop.
Of course, if your organization is based on creating christian communications infrastructure to propagate your hate, in a nation that is trying to make the minority group your hate is directed at a crime punishable by death, then I think it’s perfectly reasonable to deny state funding for those projects.

More: Meet America's Most Shameless Defender of the 1 Percent, Harvard Economist Greg Mankiw It’s not really news that America’s economics departments, particularly at elite institutions, are stuffed with people whose careers are founded on protecting monied interests.

"It's striking how preoccupied Harris and VandeHei are with the perception that Politico is too 'insidery,'" Silver wrote. "My personal critique of their work cuts a little deeper than that, however. It's not that they are too 'insidery' per se, but that the perceptions of Beltway insiders, which Politico echoes and embraces, are not always very insightful or accurate. In other words, the conventional ...
As a reformed wingnut, I recall those times. There's a whole fringe camp out there full of folks just like Bill Ayers who are upset with our President for not being the far left revolutionary that they really want him to be. These hard bitten partisans are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the hard right right whenever the opportunity presents to fling ...

Reuters: But even the press in aggregate is not a friend to whistle-blowers, as its recent treatment of Snowden attests, what with the deep dives into his teen years (including photos), his education and employment history, his reputation as a loner and a “brainiac,” his pants-down hijinks, his online scribblings, his dancer girlfriend, his predilection for (in his own words) “post-coital Krispy Kremes.” Squeezing ...
