Woody the problem is that you won't find a newspaper that will print it in the United States. Its economics. Its not government censorship. While the newspaper would get complaints, if you were to take out the same ad in the United States you would not be in danger of facing a VIABLE lawsuit. It would get thrown out at the first hearing. Even with a Clinton appointee. ~ P-Marlowe Woody.

Hey guys (or girls) -

Go to www.rcf.org, the website of the Roman Catholic Faithful (a group opposed to the homosexualization of the Catholic Church, and to the bishops who have allowed several thousand teenage boys to be sexually molested by homosexual priests). Scroll down on the right hand side to the link referring to the 'article that generated the most hate mail.' RCF published, in several US west coast newspapers, an ad that focused on the molestation of teenage boys by homosexuals. It stated that the Boy Scouts had the right policy in excluding homosexuals from being scoutmasters (something, by the way, that would not be allowed in Canada, which does not have a comparable right of freedom of association). It offered statistics relating to the homosexual molestation of teenage boys. The ad was a full bore broadside against the homosexual community (and right on, in my opinion). The ad was published; RCF broke no law; there was a lot of vituperative mail that RCF received in response. The point? This ad would not have been allowed in Canada. Freedom of speech is not absolute in these United States - but it is a lot freer than in places like Canada or Sweden. Canada is governed by a PC liberal theocratic government that successfully seeks to squelch basic rights that we enjoy in the US. Wake up - Canadians. Liberal facism is on the rise in your country when you can't quote the Bible in a newspaper ad.
