Social Conservative News Bytes - November 13

Just in time for Remembrance day - "Support Our Troops" stickers ordered off a municipal vehicle in Norfolk County, south of London, Ontario.
Mayor Dennis Travale says the problem is that if these ribbons are allowed on county vehicles, it opens the door to other groups wanting their insignias there too. "People who oppose the troops," he says, would have an equal right to "express their sentiment."
What's next? Banning poppies? George Feere, who was ordered to remove the "Support Our Troops" magnet, can see that coming.

Had enough of political correctness? Get ready for some more. A group of atheists is launching a campaign to have a politically correct term of their own.
What makes Dawkins want atheists to be like gays? Dawkins explains that gays used to be called homosexual, but then they decided to pick a positive-sounding name like "gay." Suddenly the meaning of the term "gay" was entirely appropriated by homosexuals. Gays went from being defined by their enemies to defining themselves in a favorable way.
From this day forward they want to be known as "brights". The inference, apparently, is that people who aren't atheists would be, well, not bright?

And, speaking about atheists and "secular humanists" in particular - can those guys even be trusted with political power?
What I don't understand is how somebody who doesn't have beliefs can be radically and passionately zealous about anything. If you're only interested in the use of reason, then you should be the most dispassionate person around. Yet some of the most renowned self-proclaimed Atheists/Humanists wear their bigotry and Christian hatred on their sleeves.
Secular humanists have been imposing their views on Canada for nearly half a century. And look at the mess they've got us into.
