In my latest Epoch Times column I say a smashed statue is a sadly fitting monument to a society that lets mobs trample over debate and voting to smash memorials because they can’t tell Queen Victoria from Hitler.
“No one of his Cabinet really understood Lincoln. He was constantly scandalizing them by his calm disregard of convention, and his seemingly prodigal waste of time. The friends and advisers of Jesus were similarly shocked. How could any one with such important business allow himself to be so casually interrupted! One of the surest marks of greatness, of course, is accessibility and the appearance of having an unstinted allowance of time. ‘Extreme busyness is a symptom of deficient vitality,’ says Stevenson. The disciples were extremely busy, Judas most of all.”
Bruce Barton The Man Nobody Knows
“The [French] Revolution appealed to the idea of an abstract and eternal justice, beyond all local custom or convenience. If there are commands of God, then there must be rights of man. Here Burke made his brilliant diversion… the modern argument of scientific relativity; in short, the argument of evolution. He suggested that humanity was everywhere molded by or fitted to its environment and institutions; in fact, that each people practically got, not only the tyrant it deserved, but the tyrant it ought to have. ‘I know nothing of the rights of men,’ he said, ‘but I know something of the rights of Englishmen.’ There you have the essential atheist.”
G.K. Chesterton What’s Wrong with the World
In my latest National Post column I say the strangest thing about the resignation of British health secretary Matt Hancock, for Canadians, is the concept of a minister being held accountable for a poor job performance.
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say the Trudeau administration’s attack on the rights of Parliament is no less dangerous for being the result of arrogant ignorance not clever conspiracy.
On June 23 I was on Global News Radio 640 with Alex Pierson and John Mraz to discuss more unmarked graves near a residential school, Ontario slowly winding down COVID restrictions and the Trudeau administration seeking to quash Parliamentary privileges over COVID and Chinese espionage.
“They hate and detest war as a thing manifestly brutal, and yet practised by man more constantly than by any kind of beast.”
Thomas More Utopia
In my latest National Post column I say classes where students of one race only are taught material by authors of once race only by teachers of one race only is still segregation and still wrong practically and morally.
