If We Are To Start Honoring The Greatest SoCons...

The decision to award the Order of Canada to Morguentaler has outraged many. But that wasn't the first controversial appointment to the Order. It was just a year ago when the Order of Canada was awarded to Brent Hawkes, a Toronto activist-preacher that performed a marriage-like ceremony for a couple of perverts; to Jane Vance Rule - for promoting abnormal lifestyles in her novels and to Jean Chretien - not for appointing a Finance Minister that got Canada out of deficit, but for helping to scrap traditional marriage.

And, to make it clear that the Advisory Committee has taken a certain social agenda (a socially perverse one, to be precise), they've decided that Margaret Somerville, the McGill University ethicist who is pro-life and pro-family, is too controversial for Canada's highest civilian honor. No wonder many Social Conservatives have lost their respect for the Order of Canada, once it has been demeaned to that extent. No wonder that at certain point some of our blogs and forums were discussing whether or not we should create a parallel award along the lines of the Order of Canada for those who truly desire a better country...

Well, we can sure do that. It's not that difficult to design and mint a few medals. But I would suggest that instead of replicating the Order of Canada, we replicate the Order of Mother Hero, the Order Of Maternal Glory and the Motherhood medals first. After all - aren't we all against abortions? Don't we all want to support strong traditional families? So if we are to honor the greatest Social Conservatives - let's begin by honoring those who not only talk the talk, but also walk the walk; those who contribute the most to our case by doing the hardest yet the most honorable work there is - raising children.

And let us not forget - a medal is nothing but a piece of metal. We'll need a special fund (similar to the Jewish National Fund) that would accept donation, give out tax receipts and direct the money to families that need it the most. We'll need a network of volunteer-run one-room schoolhouses to help those families where parents can't afford home schooling or private schools...

Sure, all this requires a lot more money, time and effort than merely replicating a six-petal pajama button. But establishing a social and financial network to support and actively promote the pro-life and pro-family way of life is worth the effort. Even when it comes to publicity - look at all those radical secularists, feminists and population control freaks going nuts just because there's a family out there that's going to have another child. Do you think they'd freak out like that if they found out that several prominent Social Conservatives were to receive the Order Of The New Dominion?

Let's work together to establish a Canadian Order of Mother-Heroine!
