15 thoughts on “Giving new meaning to “A Mountie always gets his man””
I dare you Samizdat to say that homophobic inferred statement directly to the face of one of those brave men or women officers the next time you need them. “The Mountie always gets his man.” Go ahead, make their day.
Or better yet, tell a gay child who gets the crap kicked out of him or her day after day by homophobic classmates that by just praying harder to Jesus that he will heal you of your illness and turn you straight and make those bullies stop beating you. Sure blame the gay kid for causing those poor straight kids for having to beat the gay out of him or her.
The bottom line is this, if you review the majority of postings on this site it deals over and over again with one issue: homosexuality. So Samizdat, please stop beating up and bullying gay people. It’s really not their fault that you are such a bully. Maybe you need to take a long hard look in your own mirror. Samizdat, it does get better.
The mounties have enough internal problems this will bump it up one notch.
Law enforcement and the military have a lot of macho and an open gay will have to earn respect.
The emphasis here seems to not so much about gay people as a church ignoring, what I believe, is clear teaching on the subject.
The path to being inclusive has caused division and alienation. It could be handled differently in the ACoC but they are hell bent on making the small percentage the raison d’etre.
Bully’s go after those weaker than themselves, gays are just part of the group.
Gay parades are a fine example of a group of people in dire need of prayer. A lot of these folks push the envelop to see just how offensive they can be.
As a priest I would tell a gay youth to pray for healing. If I didn’t I would be failing my vows (which a lot do, especially those in gay relationships).
And Savant if you are all offended by this and other posts there are blogs probably more to your liking.
It seems to me you have no faith in the power of prayer, if you have any faith at all.
AS can publish what it wants, Savage. You’re the one in need of a larger frame of reference. Only an fatuously self-referential person would think him or herself “bullied” by material he or she repeatedly chose to read. I came across Theodore Dalrymple’s assessment of political correctness the other day, which gives great insight into Samizdat’s mission—as well as the ideological monolith he’s up against. The thought is completely lost on you of course, but others may benefit.
“Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.”
It’s all about control.
Actual political correctness, to be frank, is trying to refrain from being an arsehole. People who complain about political correctness being foisted on them tend – in my experience – to want to reserve the right to be unkind to others _and_ to feel self-righteous about it. Which seems a bit unctuous to me.
Frankly, I didn’t find the video a problem at all. What gets me is all this attention to gay bullying. Not that it’s right – it’s not, but in fact a very small percentage of all the bullying that goes on is over this aspect of sexuality.
This is purely anecdotal, but I suspect if you put the question to any random crowd of, say, 100 people, “Were you bullied growing up?”, you would find a majority would raise their hands.
Bullying has always been a fact. That doesn’t excuse it, but unfortunately, the bullying “agenda” has been hijacked by a certain vocal minority of the population, and many of the public have bought into it.
Again…pray the gay away. Another Pharisee Priest telling me to follow the rules or just go away…we don’t want your kind here in this like-minded anti-homosexual blog.
Next time you call the Mounties, make sure they only send the straight ones. God forbid you may be helped by a gay one. I guess you’d rather be mugged than make a statement to a gay cop.
Oh right, gay cops and soldiers have to “earn respect” before they can do then job they were trained for. The straight ones already have respect written into their job description.
You said that (and I can’t believe how much this proves my point) that “Bully’s (sic) go after those weaker than themselves, gays are just part of that group.” What a justification for bullying by a clergyman! I can imagine you saying to a young parishioner, “Hey, you little gay girl, you are much weaker than your straight classmates. So suck it up and take your daily beating. By the way, make sure your Mom and Dad put their offering in the collection plate so I can get paid.”
Savant you are a true troll. Beats me where anyone said suck it up. And I didn’t say that straight cops get automatic respect. You earn it there too. But these days they let anyone in the ranks. I was divisional runt at 6′ and 185. And your military background is ???? We had a female in our battery, she worked like the rest of the grunts and proved herself.
And of course you barrel off to conclusions. I’m a priest?, no, but that is how I would be if I were.
And a bully targets the weak and vulnerable, unless you figure not. And watch who you bully, you could get your lights out with one swing.
If you get off your rant how about suggestions, remembering that most of here, trolls excluded, believe succumbing to same sex attractions is a sin.
“Hey, you little gay girl, you are much weaker than your straight classmates.”
You were the one, Savorless, taking exception to the words ‘homosexual’ and ‘handicapped’ appearing in the same paragraph, remember?
I can just see you … tears in your eyes, shaking your head and stamping your fey little foot while writing this.
But, really, Savorless, you need to grow up. A church wedding simply is not for you and another man, the same as it’s not for you and a donkey. You know that.
Recently a to do was made on a TV show I happeed accross about a homosexual who was bullied, and later committed suicide. The way that things were presented would leave a person convinced that the only people who are bullied are homosexuals. But allow me to say this. I am not a homosexual and never have been, and I was bullied in grades 5 and 6. I was tall for my age, and being raised in a Christian home was a “gentle person”. I feel this made me a target, because the bullies wanted to prove that they could go up against someone bigger than them. Now when I see the homosexuals trying to claim to be the only ones being bullied it makes me sick. As far as I am concerned there claims of “persecution” is just another part of their propaganda.
My son used to regularly get into fights on the playground (and get punished for them) defending kids from bullys. I only found out about it years later, of course. Had I known at the time, I’d’ve gone to the school and done the ‘mama bear’ thing (which, thinking back on it, is probably why my son didn’t tell me).
I am sorry that I comment two months after the fact but here I go.
Although I was never a police officer (thank God), I was a soldier. When I was in the army, people caught in consensual homosexual acts were often charged and if convicted could be sent to military prison. And many were. I did not think that was right back then and so did many of my fellow officers. But for some reason, the Canadian Forces seemed far more interested in going after gay men while leaving the gay women alone even though the majority of sexual assault cases that I had to deal with (at least the ones I can remember) were gay women making unwanted sexual advances towards straight women.
Lewis McKenzie, when he was commander of CFB Gagetown in the late 1980s had to take time out of his busy schedule to deal with a conflict that arose between straight and gay members of the Gagetown women’s fastball team. That would be like the manager of a major corporation employing over 5,000 people taking time from his job to travel and deal with a conflict that arose on the company recreational fastball team. That is how bad it got.
This past year, I was talking with a few Lutheran anti-Semites who had just come back from a hate-finding tour of the Holy Land and were slamming Israel and especially the Israeli Defence Force. I told them that when I served in the military and was stationed in the Golan Heights, that I rather liked the Israeli soldiers, especially the women.
Why the women? Well there are many reasons. One that stood out for me was that the Israelis’ allowed their female soldiers a lot of personal freedom when it came to dress and deportment. They could put pretty things in their hair, wear their hair long (some had hair down to their waists), wear makeup and such and take a needle and thread to their uniforms to make them fit their figures better. In other words, they were allowed to look like women (and many were absolutely beautiful). Considering the Canadian Forces women that I served with, the vast majority looked like the women cops on the video. Virtually all on the video, until they spoke and identified themselves, fooled me into thinking at first that they were in fact men.
To victims of bullying, whether straight or gay, yes, it does get better. School does not last forever. Someday it will end, but if possible, stop doing things to make yourself standout and attract the type of attention that you do not want.

No, I’ll be Frank, Vincent — the unctuous, self-righteous arseholes among us are those who want the state to control speech, thought and action.

Actually a percentage of gay women I know would not be bullied. These self proclaimed Dykes would put you into next Friday in a heartbeat.
He’s a troll. Maybe we should stop feeding him.
Let him stay. The more he posts the more his meandering logic betrays the contradictory fatuity of his pen name.
