Linda Williamson writes in the Toronto Sun that the Liberals are up to their famous deception tricks again. Just as in the last election, the Liberals are proving once again with this emergency gay ‘marriage’ crisis that they will stop at nothing—there is no moral boundary for them—when it comes to winning their power-plays and forcing Canada to the far left abyss even if Canadians don’t want to go there.
And you’ll be surprised where she comes down on this issue.
Like Santa’s flying sleigh, it’s a mystery for the ages: How do Liberals keep on getting away with this stuff?
A week ago, the country was thrown—because of them—into an explosive, deeply divisive debate about same-sex marriage. A week later—presto!—they’ve turned the debate into a national hissy fit over big, bad Stephen Harper and his nefarious plan to invoke the notwithstanding clause.
Sound familiar? It’s the very same dirty tactic Paul Martin’s Grits used to demonize Harper just six months ago in the federal election.
Apparently Martin believes that if he screams loudly enough about “a lack of courage and a clear lack of leadership,” no one will notice that those words apply more to him than anyone else.
All Harper did this past week was declare his party, as the Official Opposition, would do whatever it could to oppose the Liberals’ same-sex marriage legislation and to preserve the traditional definition of marriage.
You’d think the poor guy had committed treason.
His real offence, of course, is questioning the Liberals’ fabricated line that they have no legal choice but to enact same-sex marriage legislation: The Supreme Court made them do it.
As Liberal Justice Minister Irwin Cotler repeatedly insists: “The moment the court affirmed the constitutionality of extending civil marriage to gays and lesbians—at that very moment, it is declaring the opposite-sex requirement for marriage is unconstitutional.”
But in truth, the court has not declared any such thing. It purposely did not declare traditional marriage unconstitutional (as seven lower courts admittedly have done). Instead, it stressed the issue is for Parliament to decide.
Nevertheless, fearing a split within their own caucus, the Grits are sticking to their script that they are legally bound to pass this law, not because they want to (oh no!) but because of the Charter and the courts. And anyone who stands in their way must be anti-Constitution or anti-Canadian, or both.
This is appalling, deceptive, dirty politics—the kind the Grits excel at. It sickens me.
And let me be clear: I support same-sex marriage. No wonder those who oppose it are beside themselves.
