I have been calling for a culture war since before we lost power. Hell, I thought a 'culture war' was a good idea when we were in power. I can remember working on The Hill and putting dossiers together on the creme de la creme of idiotic Canadian Alliance, and then Conservative party, MPs. But seven years ago rather than going to war I was told we would trust our leader to win the battle, for he was the one the people wanted.
How'd that turn out for us, huh?
There are quotes. I know. I found them. I'm not sure if they aren't being used because we now live in an age where no one reads anything and everything has to be in video format, or maybe they lost the documents, or maybe the idiotic mentality that led to the Paul Martin debacle is still in place and we believe that our leader will lead us to victory based on his merits alone--- despite overwhelming poll numbers to the contrary.
In the last few weeks we have had all the evidence we need that something is brewing. The stage is now set for us to stand up and fight those that would strip gays of not just their right to be married, but their rights in general. It is time we step up and fight so that women can exercise full control of their bodies. It is time we step up and fight so that George W. Bush's America doesn't become Stephen Harper's Canada.
We shouldn't be fighting this war simply because we want power. We should be fighting this war because we want to live in peace. And the religious-conservative agenda of Harper and the Conservative Party mean that peace, along with order and good government, are threatened.
