Momma McGuinty, Conservative Jewish Leader think Dalton McGuinty is crazy
Posted by chinesecanuck on May 7, 2008
His angry mom, a conservative Jew and even e-mails from thousands of Ontarians (so many, in fact, that it’s crashed their system) isn’t stopping Ontario Premier, Dalton McGuinty, from having second thoughts about the Ontario government’s proposal to get rid of the Lord’s Prayer. Should Mr. McGuinty and his people be listnening to the people of Ontario and focus on more serious issues like poverty, healthcare and the economy rather than changing tradition? Just because it isn’t your country or culture’s tradition, doesn’t mean that it’s someone else’s tradition. The politically correct, which is, unfortunately A LOT of people (politicians or non) today (at least the public person), seems to want to get rid of old English Canadian traditions, yet include old traditions of other cultures, which can be just as “exclusive” to a culture or cultures. I don’t understand why a non-Christian can complain about something like the Lord’s Prayer, yet if I complained about another religion’s prayer, then I’m anti-something or other. It’s not fair.
