Christians Open Minded?

A little old.. I forgot to push the "publish" button :) Non the less, some always fun random jabs the extreme right.


Intresting:

National Post: "'If you constantly marginalize us, that's when we could galvanized into one voting bloc,' he said. 'But really we're all over the map. We're pretty open-minded people.'"

Point 1. National Post: "One of the speakers who will address attendees today is Chris Kempling, a B.C. teacher who was suspended from his job as a guidance counsellor after writing a series of letters to his local paper that criticized same-sex relationships.

Point 2. National Post: "Mr. Emmanuel said the evangelical community is not necessarily going to fall in line behind Mr. Harper's Conservatives.

'I want to be careful not to be too critical, but I think Stephen Harper could do a better job defending our community,' he said. 'To be honest, I was shocked at his inability to fight for his beliefs and to keep the [sponsorship scandal] in the forefront of the debate.'"

Point 3. National Post: "The conference will also hear from Stephen Bennett, a U.S. radio personality, musician and public speaker who has flown to Canada to discuss his personal rejection of homosexuality. A self-professed 'former homosexual,' Mr. Bennett is now married to a woman and has dedicated himself to reaching out to 'homosexuals who want to escape the lifestyle.'"

Point 4. National Post: "Christians interested in social outreach and other 'compassionate endeavours' might have a natural proclivity toward Liberal or NDP candidates, he said. But he said it is the public disavowals of religion that push the evangelical constituency toward the Conservatives."


Finally. National Post: "But Mr. Emmanuel said he reached his breaking point during the 2004 federal election, when the Liberal government threatened the electorate with the Conservative party's "hidden agenda," which he believes was a thinly veiled attack on Christian beliefs."


Shutup. Damn crazy Christians. Here's a hint. Nobody wants to deal with uber right wings crazy christian beliefs. We as Canadians have larger, more pressing issues then the right-wing beliefs. It was the right wing that made Gay rights an issue in the last election. Anybody rember what happened? An Enourmous amout of Canadians said to their politicians, not "yes/no we support the issue".. It was more like "Shut up!, Why the hell are we talking about this? Can't you guys do something useful like end the hockey strike?"

In summary, SHUT UP.

Mid Range Gamer..

New System..

I'm building a new system this weekend. Upgrading a system based around a Athlon XP 1200 to a mid-range gamer. Unfortuanlly, it's not for me :( I haven't played with SATA or PCI-E, so I'll be curious of the results. In preparation, I'll be slipstreaming an XP CD, and using some sort of freeware to recover a missing XP serial key. Most of my time has been spent in these days has been spent in Linux, working on my mythbox, so it'll be a little of an XP refresher. I've never bothered to learn create how to create a slipstreamed version of XP. It will also give me a chance to try some of the newer games available.

The Manitoban Online - Not allowed to recruit on campus ...

The Manitoban Online - Not allowed to recruit on campus ...: "There has been controversy recently over whether or not the Canadian Forces should be permitted to recruit on university campuses. In September, student protestors at York University clashed with recruitment officers over a booth set up for a career fair. The York Federation of Students (YSF) and the Grassroots Anti-Imperialist Network (GRAIN) believe the Canadian Forces (CF) are in direct conflict with the standards of the university regarding human rights."


Really, I've never thought about militant university students being against the CF. I suppose I'm sort of ignorant. I'll take that pay cheque from the man. However, I believe the role of a military is to be the "pointy stick" of a nation. Baby Hugging, Politics and handshaking make the international law and policies, but somebody has to carry them out. When it comes to international law, the military becomes the face of the country. Therefore, the military's actions should reflect the view of nation through it's elected representatives. So if these so called activist are protesting against the CF recruiting on campus, I believe they are saying the nation as a whole is corrupt and violates human rights. So why not attack it at the source, the body, rather then at the stick it holds?

I guess what I'm trying to say, is a common speech for me. If you don't like what your country, your military, your city, your whatever is doing, then get involved and change it. But to protest against the CF recruiting on university campus, that's just lazy. Shut your mouth, go to Ottawa and make a difference. The nation will be better for it.
