“Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don’t give it any value.” By Mark Noonan on liberal lies Blogs For Victory So says the Canadian “Human Rights Commission“: <<< I don’t have any problem with the government running electronic surveillance on, say, drug gangs or terror suspects — or even hatemongers, if there’s proof that they’re engaged in actual violence. But of course, that involves showing probable cause, and getting a judge to issue a warrant. HRC types have no time for that sort of due process. Nor, in fact, do they have any real legal training. In fact, for an organization that is supposed to promote “human rights,” the HRC’s agents seem curiously oblivious to basic aspects of constitutional law. In one famous exchange during the Lemire case, Steacy was asked “What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate?” — to which he replied “Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don’t give it any value.” (I guess Section 2 has been excised from his copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights.) >>> I know that some Canadians visit this website - are you guys gonna sit still for this? Do you understand that you are falling under a fascist dictatorship, step by step, in the name of protecting “human rights”, which is actually just a cover for “stop speech liberals don’t like”? Come, on, Canadians - once upon a time you poured out your blood and treasure for human liberty! You can’t really be ok with this sort of nonsense, can you? And, now, American liberals: this is why we fight you tooth and nail on “hate crimes” laws…not because we like crimes motivated by ethnic or other bigotry, but because once down such a path there’s no way to stop a fascist busybody from essentially trying to ban free speech under the rubric of human rights. blogsforvictory.com
