"Plus, your position is akin to expecting President Bush to fly up to Boston each time a gay 'marriage' is conducted to be on hand to speak up when 'any objections' are solicited by whomever (whatever?) is officiating."

No, but I expect GWB will stand up and say I disagree if they are dressed in the colors of a government service. Just reading over the last few hours, it appears the Prime Minister has more interest in shutting the issue down. What kind of leader denies free speech to the elected people that have a strong opinion on an issue?
I will recant, I will stand down if just one of you posters will say the Prime Minister should not try to repress opposing opinion to mounties being married in uniform.
I will also recant and stand down if just one of you says the Prime Minister should have said the gay mounties should not wear their dress uniforms for the marriage ceremony.
I will also recant and stand down if just one of you guys say the discussion on gay marriage in Canada is an enormous distraction to those things which are really important.
Canadians often prove themselves to be self righteous and smug and quick to criticize others, especially if they are calling out those who have had the responsibility to carry the mail. So, it kind of surprises me how thinned skin you are when somebody puts a little legitimate criticism on your door step. In order talk the talk you first gotta walk the walk and I don't see any evidence here that any of you are prepared to do that.

I heartily agree! It'a an egregious distraction!

Now exactly which Phelpsian monomaniac posting on this thread is fixated on this issue? Hmmmm?
