The New Speaker and the Bible Wars

Uh oh. More evidence that everything young isn't good.  We've got the youngest Speaker of the House of Commons. 

But he's an anti-choice fanatic, and a homophobe.

And how do I know this since the MSM won't tell me? Because he's got the Betty Crocker Popey Pancakes Campaign Life Seal of Approval.

Great eh? No doubt he'll rename Question Period the Magisterium Hour, sprinkle Biblical quotations into his rulings. And any opposition MP's who dare defy him will be commanded to say 15-hundred Hail Mary's, and flog themselves with a prickly cord.

Oh boy. It may well be that Stephen Harper is just tossing a symbolic bone at his rabid Christianist base. While preventing Scheer from voting to ban abortion, or jail gay people, or ban rock music, or kite flying on Sunday etc etc.

But here's the thing eh? When I look at what's happening in the United States, and at the horror of The Republican Total War on Women.

McCormack’s case is a sign of the true desperation of women in this country. She said she believed she was only 14 weeks along, although the examination of the remains concluded it was more likely 20-25. She is already a mother of more than one child, one still a toddler. But financially she was cut off from any choice she wanted to make about how many people she wanted in her family, unable to procure an abortion she couldn’t afford, and now facing criminal penalties for taking the only option left to her.

And I look at the never ending hateful war on gay people.

I hate to see ANY religious fanatic in ANY position of authority.

Because let's not kid ourselves, a version of what's happening in America COULD happen here. It's that big, that crazy, and that wacko dangerous.

Oh well. I'm prepared to give Scheer a chance to show that he knows the difference between a democracy and a theocracy. To show he totally understands that we need someone who puts his God's commands before the commands of the Canadian people, like we need a Pope, or another Jason Kenney.

But I'm warning him eh?

If I detect the slightest signs of satanic Con activities in the Temple of the People.

I'm calling in this guy...



Oh Great Polar Bear Monkey God of the Great White North. If only we could pull the plug on this nightmare that easily.

A religious fanatic presiding over a Canadian Parliament.

How low have we fallen...
