A Prelude To The ACLU And Their Attack Against The General Welfare

Canada has fallen more to the attack of the modern liberals than we here in the United States and if we look at what is there we can find out what is going to happen here. According to a report by Robert Knight, located on Concerned Women of America's web site, there is a case handled by Judge Valmond Romilly that concerns us all. The case involved teens who claimed they were searching for peeping toms to beat up. The evidence on the other hand said that they were looking for homosexuals to beat up. The wording of the hate crime law in Canada is such that it is alright to beat a peeping tom to death but not a homosexual. Judge Valmond exercised the leeway in judgment that he is allowed under the common law system and decided that peeping tom fit the definition of sexual orientation as well as homosexuality did. I see nothing wrong with his determining the original intent of law was to protect "innocent" victims from thugs though the sentence he handed down did not back up his judgment.

The ACLU uses the same reasoning to advance their agenda in the United States calling homosexuality and drug use lifestyle choices and any action against them as lifestyle discrimination. They then attempt to get them covered by the “equal protection under the law” clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. One flaw in their argument is that homosexuality and the use of drugs for recreation is dangerous to our society. So the general welfare clause of the Constitution applies as does the health exception mention in Roe v. Wade. Neither of these applies to the case heard by Judge Valmond.

Now I am obviously missing something in this as I see no way that Judge Valmond’s ruling makes voyeurism a civil right in Canada yet Jan LaRue of Concerned Women of America does. She also expressed the concern that rape would be seen in Canada as just another sexual lifestyle choice. I do see that possibility if the ACLU does get lifestyle covered under the Fourteenth Amendment or the Civil Rights Act.
