Calgary Sun editor and columnist Licia Corbella is on fire these days over the phoney baloney “outrage” from the liberals over our friend, Conservative Cheryl Gallant and her remarks about Christianity being under attack in Canada (which it most assuredly is).
I wrote about Corbella’s previous column—you need to read both of hers now because it’s turning into a fantastic story of liberal ineptitude and INTOLERANCE —especially when it comes to that toward Christians and Christianity. This kind of stuff makes my day.
I think it’s also shaping up to be yet another of those big missed opportunities for the Conservative Party in not getting fully, loudly, right on side with Cheryl Gallant (yet again choosing to distance themselves from her like girlie-men would do). This is a red-button issue. A free step up the ladder for the popularity of the Conservative Party. Conservatives need to light a match under their butts. No I don’t mean that proverbially. I mean they really need to do that. In the meantime, Licia Corbella is doing a great job.
Then read this snippet or go directly to her latest column at the Calgary Sun.
For a woman who is so easily outraged, it’s amazing what doesn’t anger rookie Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla.
Dhalla is the woman who said she was “shocked” by “outrageous,” “ludicrous” and “crazy” statements made by controversial Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant recently in a pamphlet she mailed out to her northern Ontario constituents.
I still have not seen the pamphlet, but I had Dhalla read to me the statements she found most “outrageous.”
She read the following: ” ‘The government has launched a campaign of intimidation to silence churches by dispatching tax collectors to threaten the charitable tax status of denominations who speak out against the Liberal government.’ ”
Being a helpful person I then informed Dhalla there was nothing ludicrous about that statement at all. Indeed, it is utterly factual since Calgary’s Catholic Bishop Fred Henry was threatened last June by a Revenue Canada agent with losing his church’s charitable status for criticizing Prime Minister Paul Martin in a pastoral letter. Dhalla didn’t care.
But what of the broader claim of the pamphlet that asked: “Is Christianity under attack in Canada?”
Dhalla said such a question is “ludicrous,” clearly her favourite word since she used it about 20 times in our conversation.
So I made a point of telling Dhalla about numerous instances of Christianity being attacked by the Liberal government. In every case, Dhalla didn’t care.
As already mentioned in my Saturday column, I asked her about the Liberal government asking Ontario voters in a poll if they’d be more or less likely to vote for the Conservatives if they knew the party had been ‘taken over by evangelical Christians.’ Such questions are an example of U.S.-style “push polling,” where the purpose is not to gauge public opinion, but to “push” a negative opinion about one’s opponent.
How would she feel if the word Christian were replaced by Sikh, which is her faith?
She said it wouldn’t bug her, though the rest of us know someone would be hauled in front of the human rights’ commission or charged criminally under our hate laws for that.
Where is the hysterical old liberal mainstream media on this file? They make a mockery of absolutely correct Conservative MP Cheryl Gallant, and not a peep about Liberal MP Ruby Dhalla who’s literally making a total fool of herself and the Liberal Party? Oh—I just answered my own question….
