>>Quebec language law insists French must be double the size of any other language.<<
I think they are trying to compensate for something...

At the Royal Ontario Museum, the system of dating exhibits from AD and BC was shelved in favour of the Christ-denying labels CE and BCE, whatever they may meanCE = Common era.....BCE = Before Common Era
Dissapointingly, I've even seen National Review use those acronyms (or whatever they are).

In a province where 80% of the population speaks French, they're pretty insecure about the future a la belle langue.

So bisexuals aren't 'AC-DC' any more?
Are they 'Differently Multi-Oriented'?
Or 'Variably Sexually Responsive'?
'Never a Dull Moment'?
'Pre-verted'?

Why, oh why, do the Liberal wingnuts come from the 905 belt? Why are they women?
==========
I don't know about the 905 belt, but, brother, more than once I too have wondered why on earth are so many of these "Liberal wingnuts" women?

A great compilation but this one takes the cake:
Lovers of little creatures in the York Region bureaucracy built a passageway for a rare four-inch salamander under Bayview Avenue, only to find that proposed subdivisions will block the migratory movements of the little lizards.
Cretins...

Now here is a word that has a wonderful sound to and has a nonsense for a meaning.
I love the way Free Republic increases my vocabulary

Amazing how the Leftist idiots say that Political Correctness doesn't even exist.

I'll got one political incorrect thing to say (it may offend those DUmmies):
Merry Christmas!

the Nazis were hardly Christian and most of the Allied troops who liberated the death camps were. Well, not exactly. The vast majority of the camps were in Eastern Europe and were liberated by the Red Army, which also supplied far more of the men actually fighting Hitler than any other army.
But the Nazis were certainly anti-Christian.

The two shopkeepers from Knowlton, Que., are taking their case to the United Nations. Before Americans suck up to the UN, they should consider having Supreme Court decisions appealed to the UN.

CE = Common era.....BCE = Before Common Era
I remeber back in the 1970's when I was a kid (I'm 36) I ask my grandmother what CE and BCE meant. She told me that "CE" meant "Christian Era" and "BCE" meant "Before Christian Era." Come to think of it, that's a good way to stick it to the PC crowd.
