Dear friends of life and liberty:

Hopefully you had a blessed Christmas and New Year’s season.

Now as 2013 begins, I must return to the front lines of the culture wars in defence of innocent human life and our God-given liberties, which are increasingly under attack each passing day. A battle field I must return to is in the courts. I must report in person to my probation officer on January 17 and will be in court the next day.

Therefore, I’m writing you to ask for your support in my upcoming hearing in the BC Court of Appeal on Friday, January 18 at 10 AM.

The courthouse is located at: 400 – 800 Hornby Street, Vancouver, BC.

Sissy von Dehn is my co-appellant seeking to have our convictions overturned that resulted from our being arrested on June 19, 2009, this time for informing the public in a BC bubble zone that they could be arrested for saying anything against abortion. We were actually arrested, convicted and sentenced to two years probation and fines for passing out copies of the Access to Abortion Services Act.
For more details, please read the following press release, originally sent out when we were granted leave to appeal on September 10, 2012: http://www.donspratt.org/ud_091112.htm

Sissy and I would appreciate your support in three ways:

1. Pray that God’s truth, justice and freedom will prevail and overcome any political prejudice.

2. Please attend, if at all possible, to show your moral support for us, and to show the court that there is public interest in preserving our free speech rights.

3. Although my lawyer, Ron McDonald, is once again (God bless him!) graciously representing me pro bono, I have an obligation to cover his travel and any court costs associated with my case. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your financial help to defray expenses.

Please send any donations to my defence fund ASAP at:

Re.: Don Spratt Defence Fund

Thank You!

Sincerely, for Life & Liberty,

Don Spratt

A Politically Incorrect Guide to “Sexual Orientation”

 Comments Off on A Politically Incorrect Guide to “Sexual Orientation”
Jan 102013
 

By Matt Barber, December 28, 2012

It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world … ~ The Kinks

Through the secular-”progressive” looking-glass, the term “sexual orientation” has, in a few short years, evolved to accommodate an ever-expanding fruit basket of carnal appetites.

First it was “LGB” – liberal shorthand for “lesbian, gay and bisexual.” Then they added a “T” for “transgender.” That’s cross-dressing. You know, fellas like 45-year-old Clay Francis (aka, “Colleen”).

Mr. Francis enjoys macramé, long walks on the beach, wearing lady’s knickers and showering fully nude with 6-year-old girls.

Because it’s illegal to “discriminate based on the basis of gender identity,” and since it’s the only “tolerant” thing to do, this brave bellwether of the persecuted LGBT victim-class has secured the “civil right” for him and other men to fully expose themselves to your daughter in the locker room at Olympia, Washington’s Evergreen State College.

But slow down, Dad. According to the law, if you have a problem with Mr. Francis baring all to your baby girl, then you’re the problem. You’re a “transphobe” (“homophobia’s” evil twin sister, er, brother … whatever). Deck this sicko for terrifying your first-grader and you’re off to jail while “Colleen” is off to the “Human Rights Campaign” for a commendation as the latest victim of an “anti-LGBT hate crime.”

Rosa Parks in drag, I guess.

But to make sure they didn’t miss anyone, pooh-bahs over at Child Corruption Central added a “Q” to the “sexual orientation” mix. In case some fifth-grader in Ms. Adamsapple’s health class gets the urge to “taste the rainbow” (and I don’t mean Skittles), the catch-all term “questioning” was tacked on.

Gotta meet those recruiting quotas.

According to the “gay” activist group GLSEN, sexuality is “fluid” and “may change over time.” Unless, of course, you’re already “gay,” and then change is impossible, fixed and immutable. Like that hotel in California, “You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.”

Nobody said it’s supposed to make sense.

Still, because “progressives” aren’t progressive unless they’re progressing toward progress, this nonsensical alphabet soup of sexual deviancy has ballooned to a marvelous “LGBTQQIAAP.”

No kidding.

The latest word salad in the counter-”heterosexist” war against “heteronormativity” (yes, they consider these real things) is “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Allies, and Pansexual.”

In Canada, they’ve added “2S” which means: “Two-spirit. The visionaries and healers of aboriginal (sic) communities, the gay and lesbian shamans.”

Well, duh.

I just can’t believe these closed-minded bigots left out members of the mistreated “BDSM” community (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism and Masochism). That’s OK, I guess. Being mistreated is their whole shtick, right? Or maybe they’re covered under “P” for “pansexual.” That means, more or less, that if the mood strikes, you’ll take a roll in the hay with anyone or anything in any way imaginable (or unimaginable).

Speaking of rolls in the hay, don’t put away your alphabet soup decoder ring just yet. It looks like we’ll soon be adding another “B” to the mix.

The late “gay” activist icon Frank Kameny – a pervert before his time – endorsed the practice of bestiality a few years ago. He called sex with animals “harmless,” saying that “as long as the animal doesn’t mind – and the animal rarely does – I don’t mind, and I don’t see why anyone else should.”

So we’ve further lowered the bar from “consenting adults” to “consenting adults and hoofed mammals.” How does that work? Bestiality is OK, but “neigh” means “neigh”?

In today’s frenzied struggle for unfettered sexual license cleverly couched as “civil rights,” we shouldn’t be surprised, then, that oppressed peoples representing all form of “sexual orientation” are lining up for their slice of “equality” pie.

Yes, even, um, animal lovers. According to a recent report by Florida’s Gainesville Sun, for instance, “Lawyers representing a Marion County man accused of sexual activity with a miniature donkey have filed a motion asking a judge to declare the Florida statute banning sexual activities with animals unconstitutional.”

“Carlos R. Romero, 32 … is accused of sexual activities involving animals, a first-degree misdemeanor, after he allegedly was found in a compromising position in August with a female miniature donkey named Doodle.”

First of all, I was offended by the article’s insensitive use of the term “miniature donkey.” I believe, if I’m not mistaken, the preferred nomenclature is “little horse.”

Still, I was especially struck – though not surprised – by the legal arguments Romero’s lawyers ponied up. They claimed “that the statute infringes upon Romero’s due process rights and violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution.”

“By making sexual conduct with an animal a crime, the statute demeans individuals like Defendant (Romero) by making his private sexual conduct a crime,” they wrote.

Right. The statute demeans Romero.

“The personal morals of the majority, whether based on religion or traditions, cannot be used as a reason to deprive a person of their personal liberties,” the attorneys wrote.

This line of argument is directly from the homosexual activist playbook – the rationale adopted by the majority in the landmark Lawrence v. Texas case. In Lawrence, the U.S. Supreme Court manufactured, for the first time in history, a constitutional “right” for men to sodomize each other.

So why not Doodle?

In his characteristically brilliant dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia forecast exactly what’s happened in the decade since: “State laws against bigamy, same-sex marriage, adult incest, prostitution, masturbation, adultery, fornication, bestiality and obscenity are likewise sustainable only in light of Bowers’ validation of laws based on moral choices,” he wrote. “Every single one of these laws is called into question by today’s decision.”

Predictably, polygamists and incestuous siblings are now clamoring for so-called “marriage equality” based on Lawrence. At this rate, there’s little doubt they’ll get it.

Once our culture decides, as a matter of course, that all morality is relative, all bets are off. Once we determine, as a matter of law, that people are entitled to special privilege because they subjectively define their identity based upon deviant sexual proclivities and behaviors, moral, legal and cultural anarchy are inevitable.

The brave new world is upon us.

National Absurder: New Year’s Resolution-A-Rama

 Comments Off on National Absurder: New Year’s Resolution-A-Rama
Dec 312012
 

Most of us toy with making New Year’s resolutions, many of us state them outright, but a scarce few of us actually succeed in our resolve. Maybe if we scaled down our lofty self-promises, we’d have some bragging rights by the end of the year.

The main trick is to be realistic about your resolutions. Truth, justice, and the American way are a never-ending battle for even Superman, so lower your sights.

And narrow your scope; a single resolution would be infinitely easier to accomplish than a litany of self-improvements. If you try to quit smoking, drinking, and overeating all at once, you’ll certainly fail – if you don’t kill yourself first! Pick one at a time. Make sure it sticks before you move on to the next hurdle.

Be patient. It’s a New Year’s resolution, after all, so give it up to a year to see it through. Pace yourself.

Once you choose a resolution, refine it by establishing goals. “Lose weight” is a lofty resolution, but “Lose one pound a week for 10 weeks” is a realistic goal.

We should keep the number of resolutions to a minimum. Use my chart below, adding possible resolutions to what’s already there. If you like, rearrange the column categories from Easy, Moderate and Difficult to something like Mind, Body and Spirit or Short-Term, Mid-Term and Long-Term.

Then choose only one from Column A, and/or one from Column B, and/or one from Column C. That should be manageable. Good luck!

Easy:

• Become better organized
• Become greener
• Create personal budget
• Develop hobby
• Learn something new
• Read more
• Talk less, listen more
• Watch less TV
• Write a daily diary
• Donate $10 a month to RoadKill Radio

Moderate:

• Donate to charity
• Eat better
• Exercise more
• Get a (better) job
• Help people
• Play more
• Save money
• Spend more time with family
• Travel more
• Donate $50 a month to RoadKill Radio

Difficult:

• Lose weight
• Move
• Quit drinking
• Quit smoking
• Reduce stress
• Reduce/eliminate debt
• Settle down
• Simplify life
• Work more
• Donate $100 a month to RoadKill Radio

As you might have guessed from my lists, my New Year’s Resolution is to get more people to support RoadKill Radio.

Happy New Year!

National Absurder: A Brief History of TV

 Comments Off on National Absurder: A Brief History of TV
Dec 262012
 

“Good evening. I am Stephen Hawking. Tonight I will explain my Theory of Relative TV. Queen Victoria’s husband, Prince Albert, was a visionary. He once commissioned a study to see if it was possible to transmit pictures and sound through the air to be seen at another location through a viewing box. He concluded that the technologies were not yet available to accomplish such a feat. However, the task had been set in motion, and some decades later television was invented. First it was Black and White TV, and then color TV. Today we have cathode ray TV, LCD TV, plasma TV, and projection TV. Ralph Kramden finally has his 3-D TV. But so much of today’s 3-D is artificial, similar to early colorization. It’s a neat trick, but imperfect. Sound quality has not advanced as rapidly as picture quality. Speakers are still small. Digitized sound, like MP3 compression, sucks the big one. But none of this really matters. Notice the immense popularity of such low quality video such as Skype, phone cameras, and amateur on line videos. High end TV is a sham, important only for social status, bragging rights, and corporate profit. TV quality has in fact exceeded its practical purposes. Unless the picture and sound are distractingly bad, they are quickly ignored, no longer noticed after the first few moments of appreciation. Ultimately, the only quality that counts is in content. Well produced content looks good on any TV. I leave you now with a fine example of quality TV production.”

Bill Whatcott is a Canadian rarity: a fearless and relentless fighter for his personal beliefs and for the rights of ALL Canadians to exercise their free speech. Facing vilification and persecution by close-minded opponents who clearly fear an open and honest debate on issues like abortion, homosexuality, gun control, and religious expression, Whatcott has endured trumped-up legal charges, financial penalties, kangaroo court sanctions, and years of imprisonment. Still, he persists, successfully overturning one wrong decision after another and marching on with your freedoms and safety in mind.

SCC rejects blanket rule on niqabs in court

Written by Reuters, 20 December 2012

Judges should decide, on a case-by-case basis, whether women can wear the niqab, a full-face veil, while testifying in court, but a blanket rule on the issue would be “untenable,” Canada’s top court ruled this morning.

“Two sets of Charter rights are potentially engaged — the witness’s freedom of religion and the accused’s fair trial rights, including the right to make full answer and defence. An extreme approach that would always require the witness to remove her niqab while testifying, or one that would never do so, is untenable,” wrote Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin for the majority in R. v. N.S.

Re: Bill C-279 (Special Rights for Transgendered Persons)

 Comments Off on Re: Bill C-279 (Special Rights for Transgendered Persons)
Dec 092012
 

Dear MP Sweet

I wish to be very clear about this Bill C-279 which will provide ‘special’ rights for transgendered persons.

I personally am acquainted with a transgendered adult for whom I hold high regard and compassion.

He was born with Klinefelter’s syndrome which occurs in the womb prior to birth and according to reading I have done, exists in between 0.1 to 0.2% of the population. Klinefelters syndrome results in males having an extra ‘x’ chromosome and often a very low rate of male hormones among other complications. A very discouraging condition without a doubt. I hold no malice toward those who suffer from this condition.

Having said that, I am a supporter of equal rights, not special rights.

Special rights not only create classes of people with special sets of rights, special rights also are often used to trump one worldview over another when conflicting worldviews collide. This trumping is often used by various human rights commissions to prosecute those who do not subscribe to commission worldview.

In the case of special rights for transgendered persons, Ontario passed Bill – 33 which is now being used to defend biological males to enter female washrooms with the very real potential to permit the same to enter female change rooms and shower facilities. According to the Ontario Human Rights Commission, biological males may enter female washrooms and do so with out question as questioning one about their actions would be against their human right. This special right opens the doors to sexual predators and other sexual deviants.

The right of biological males to enter their washroom of choice trumps the right of our grandmothers, mother, sisters, wives, daughters and granddaughters to be and feel safe in an area where disrobing is necessary.

Enough said. I urge you to not only vote against Bill C-279, but also to inform other MP’s why you are doing so.

Thank you

Victory for Oliver Capko, His Pro-Life Group, Protectores Vitae, Free Speech and Sensibility!

The Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) is the latest anti-life publicly-funded university student association to try to bully pro-life students into silent oblivion.  It didn’t work.  Oliver Capko and his group, Protectores Vitae, fought back when the KSA denied them full club status.  The media highway lit up, and Oliver Capko became the latest free speech warrior to go to battle for his rights. After announcing on December 3, 2012 that respected Constitutional lawyer John Carpay from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom was going to file a lawsuit on behalf of Protectores Vitae, the KSA wasted no time in rethinking their wrong-minded decision and has now granted full club status to the pro-life group.

RoadKill Radio congratulates these pro-life students for the steadfast leadership and willingness to stand and fight for what is right.

Kari Simpson and Ron Gray speak with John Carpay, founder and president of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. John co-authored the Campus Freedom Index, ranking Canadian universities and student unions on how well they carry out their mission of serving as a forum for free speech and open, honest debate. In Mr. Carpay's sights at the moment is BC's Kwantlen Polytechnic University, whose student association is denying club status to Oliver Capko's on-campus pro-life group. Tune in to find out who else gets a Failing grade!

Oliver Capko joins Kari Simpson and Ron Gray to talk about the challenges of having to educate some university student groups about the Charter Protected Rights of individuals. Oliver is a first year agriculture student at Langley’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University that is giving a crash course in LAW 101 to the Kwantlen Student Association after they refused to give club status to his pro-life group! The outrage is that public money is used to fund these so-called institutions of higher learning! It is a tragic commentary that university students fail to understand that in Canada we have the right to have differing opinions and that Student Associations are prohibited from discriminating against some groups because they value the protection of human life! What are they teaching these students?

Dr. Steve Tourloukis wants the right to protect his children from sex activist propaganda and other misinformation that flows freely in some Canadian school districts. The “Board of Education” that presides over the school attended by the Tourloukis children refuses to tell him what his children are going to be taught. Dr. Tourloukis launched an important lawsuit. He is seeking a “declarative judgement”.

This case is important for all parents – and not just on the basis of Charter protected religious rights.

       
PARENTAL RIGHTS Issue is in Court

The Rights of Faith parents to be informed by the school when conflicting curriculum is planned is being defended in court today & tomorrow!

Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012
Dr. Steve Tourloukis will be cross-examined by the legal counsel for the school board. I am told that one of the strategies of the board’s legal counsel will be to discredit PEACE. To present parts of our website as discriminatory and homophobic. An organization that should not be representing the interests of faith families, and for a school board to be accepting form letters that have been created by such a group is inappropriate.

Tomorrow (all day), Albertos Polizogopolous, legal counsel for Mr. Tourloukis, will be in court cross-examining the board of Education’s Principal of Equity who refuses to accommodate for Mr. Toruloukis’s requests.

It is important to know that Mr. Tourloukis is not suing the Board of Education, but seeking a “declarative judgement” from the court that parents do have the right to request to be informed when curriculum conflicts with their values, so that they may talk to their children about what they have learned, or be accommodated and the students participate in alternative activities.

We are very thankful that Steve and Albertos have taken the steps to represent all people of faith, and We need your help! The cost for these proceedings is quite expensive (even though legal counsel is working at a very discounted rate). People of faith need a judgement so that parents know their rights. If you are able to support financially, please contact the organization below that is accepting funds to cover the costs of this case.

RoadKill Radio News, November 28, 2012

What are the issues behind Bill C-279, the NDP’s “Bathroom Bill”?

Left-winger, anti-spank, sex activist Libby Davies, NDP member for Vancouver East, cites two reasons for supporting the bill:

• There is at present no specific protection for the rights of transsexuals; and

• Canada is already a signatory to the UN Declaration on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity.

According to the “Summary” that appears on the government’s website, Bill C-279 states:

This enactment amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to include gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination.

It also amends the Criminal Code to include gender identity and gender expression as distinguishing characteristics protected under section 318 and as aggravating circumstances to be taken into consideration under section 718.2 at the time of sentencing.

This isn’t the first time “gender expression” has hit the parliamentary pavement.  Previous versions of virtually the same bill have been grinding away according to Ms. Davies since 2005 and again in 2006 and then again in 2008 by NDP MP Bill Siksay, who managed to have it passed by the House of Commons, only to have it die on the Order Paper in the Senate when the last election was called.

Dean Allison, Conservative member for Niagara West—Glanbrook in Ontario, points out that existing protections under “sex” in the Canadian Human Rights Act can be interpreted by the courts to protect transsexuals.

But, he says, creating a legal right to gender identity and gender expression could result in men gaining access to girls’ bathrooms and showers in public places, such as schools, public pools or gymnasiums. The bill would give such special rights to those who simply consider themselves transgendered, giving sexual predators access to women’s facilities. “Imagine the trauma a young girl would face, going into a washroom, or a change room at a public pool, and finding a man there,” he says.

“The Canadian Human Rights Act does not require total blindness to the distinction between men and women, but already requires intervention when people experience discrimination on the grounds of sex.”

Nor, he says, should tribunals and courts be asked to reconstruct and re-interpret gender “norms”.

Of course our neighbours to the south are already grappling with this reality.  A recent story in Lifesite News hit the public’s headlights when a community college gave the go ahead to a man named “Colleen” who took seriously his right to “express” (and expose) his gender in the women’s change room, a change room used often by children as young as 6 who participate in community activities.

There is good news and bad.  The bad news is that this bill has passed 2nd reading. The current status of Bill C-279, according to the government’s website, is that “the Bill be now read a second time and referred to the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights.”  This link will take you to the record of the vote so you can see how YOUR MP voted.

The good news is that one MP is actively standing-up for common-sense.  Rob Anders, Conservative MP for Calgary West, has drafted a petition that demands Parliament act in protecting the best interests of children by defeating Bill C-279.  You can download a copy of the petition here, get you friends and family to sign it and make your voice count!

It’s time for Parliament to stop hiding behind the courts, and have the courage to stand up for and defend public norms based on civil decency and privacy concerns.

Ezra Levant hosts Chris Schafer of the Canadian Constitution Foundation, who explains the difference between fundamental rights and phony rights and the clash of rights between a woman and a Muslim barber. The issue – now before a Human Rights Tribunal in Toronto – is whether or not a Muslim barber must be forced to go against his own religion by touching a non-related woman patron.

Maurice Vellacott, MP for Saskatoon—Wanuskewin in the province of Saskatchewan, recently recommended that Linda Gibbons and Mary Wagner receive Diamond Jubalee medals. Minister Vellacott calls these women “heroines of humanity” for their brave and relentless opposition to baby-killing, a stance that has repeatedly landed them both in jail. You see, Canada is not only the only country in the world with no law addressing pre-born human rights, but to be pro-life is tantamount to being a criminal. Bravo Minister Vellacott for standing up for defenseless babies.

Ron Gray reviews the 2010 banning of a T-shirt designed by convicted Canadian felons to demonstrate their opinion that Canada is in political and social distress – a ban ostensibly based solely on the fact that an upside-down maple leaf is depicted on the T-shirt. Might the resulting class action lawsuit against the Attorney General of Canada actually lead to a revision of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms? And would that be such a bad thing?
