Harper Conservatives vs. Canadian Women
Remember how Stephen Harper promised that his government would never re-open the issue of abortion in Canada? Don't be so certain of that.
While Harper's supporters would like us to forget it, his core base includes the so-called Christian Right (ie. groups like Focus on the Family, the Canadian Family Action Coalition, the Institute for Marriage and the Family, and the other politely-labeled hate groups). And that core base turned out in Ottawa today, to demand that Emperor Harper ban abortion. It's even being Tweeted, that about 65 Conservative Meat Puppets will table a private member's bill to do just that (which is an extremely sleazy way for Harper to claim that he personally never re-opened this Pandora's Box).
Now, before we get into this rant, let me make something clear. I personally am very dodgy about abortion; I have a very big problem with it being treated like just another kind of birth control, and I have no sympathy for women who get them simply because they couldn't be bothered to make sure their partners wore rubbers. However, I have an even bigger problem with any group -- or government -- telling a group of complete strangers that they have no right to control their own bodies (especially in a case like rape or incest).
Am I the only one to find it a little odd, that the same people who claim to hate big and intrusive government, want to intrude on a woman's private parts? And that they claim to not want to control people's lives, but that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO?
Of course, there's also that tiny little issue of how these groups claim to be "pro-life", yet they often hate public health care, hate welfare, hate day care, hate public schools, hate gun control, and are totally fine with pre-emptive wars and the death penalty (and often act like vegetarians are freaks of nature). George Carlin put it a hell of a lot better than I ever could, but it is pretty obvious that these zealots don't really give a shit about preserving life.
Finally, I know that social conservatives hate facts (as well as a lot of other things), but here are some big ones they need to respect: the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that forbidding a woman from getting an abortion is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Whatever else your thoughts are on abortion, it's easy to see why: telling someone that they have no ownership of their own body, is essentially slavery. Furthermore, the majority of Canadians are pro-choice. By trying to force this agenda on us, you are directly saying that the voices of the majority do not matter -- I know that you don't think that this is important, but it would cost Harper big time in the next election (if he decides to allow one).
Oh, and while we're speaking of holes in your philosophy, can you please try to remember "judge not lest ye be judged", "forgive thy enemies", and "render unto Caesar, that which is Casesar's"? Thank you.

January's Morons of the Month
In my last video, I already went after some of the bigger idiots and monsters we've seen in the first month of 2011 -- like Sarah Palin, The Tea Party, Fox News, and of course Jared Loughner. In this entry, I'm going to go on a bit about the other pissants and buffoons.
The mainstream Republican Party, for using an anti-abortion bill to REDEFINE RAPE. I'm completely serious. Of course, the so-called Pro-Life Robots are all kissing the GOP's boots for this bill, either not knowing or not caring that if you're underage or drugged and get abused, it sucks to be you (according to The Righteous Right tm).
The Toronto Sun (and various conservative pundits/trolls) for telling Canadians who actually care about freedom, to get over what happened at the Toronto G20 summit. Isn't that a little like telling the survivors of 9/11 or The Holocaust to get over their pain? I don't care if police brutality is worse in other parts of the world, the fact is that 1,000 Canadians were essentially assaulted and kidnapped, for no reason whatsoever -- THAT'S FUCKING ILLEGAL, YOU MORONS. Furthermore, I'd love to know how the Sun reporters who were also wrongly arrested, feel about their co-workers and employers basically throwing them under the bus for doing their jobs.
Emperor Stephen Harper and his supporters, because they attack the Liberals, NDP, and Bloc Quebecois for stoking the flames of an election, AFTER the CRAP Party unleashes its attack ads. And before anyone brings up the Liberal attack ads, I do flag all of them as spam when I see them, but I should also point out that at least the Liberal ads are attacking Harper's POLICIES, whereas the CRAP ads are attacking Michael Ignatieff PERSONALLY (and generally not telling a single bit of truth). The fact that people still expect me to think that a guy who spent MULTIPLE BILLIONS of Canadian tax dollars on projects that do no good whatsoever for Canada, and lets our industries be sold out from under us, is IN ANY WAY GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY, is outrageous. That's like saying that The Flat Earth Society should be in charge of the Smithsonian Institute, or the Aryan Brotherhood in charge of Amnesty International.
That's it for now -- give them hell.
