hatred 
> 
> THE ALBERTA SOCIAL CREDIT PARTY - OFFICIAL NEWS RELEASE
> April 2, 1998
> 
> "It's time for moral leadership, not political correctness, invoke
> the notwithstanding clause"
> 
> Randy Thorsteinson, Leader of the Alberta Social Credit Party extended
> a challenge to Premier Ralph Klein.
> 
> "With today's decision in the Delwin Vriend case by the Supreme Court
> a major test of moral leadership has been placed before Premier Ralph
> Klein. It is time for Mr. Klein to display moral leadership by rejecting
> the decision of the Supreme Court and invoke the notwithstanding clause
> of the Constitution. The Court's decision is a fundamental attack on
> the moral fabric of our society and will certainly lead to a radical shift
> in our rights."
> 
> "There are basically five major areas of concern that will come about
> as a result of this decision."
> 
> 1.) Redefinition of the Family
> 
> I believe that marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God
> and that the family is central to the Creator's plan for the eternal
> destiny of His children. This ruling will lead to a new definition
> of the family by ultimately recognizing homosexual marriage and adoption.
> 
> 2.) Eventual recognition of Paedophilia
> 
> Nothing is more repulsive than the sexual exploitation and desecration
> of children. This decision will eventually legitimize paedophiles. Their
> argument will rest on this decision, they will argue that they cannot be
> discriminated against because of their "sexual orientation". Eventually
> they will be successful in this challenge.
> 
> 3.) Erosion of Parental Rights
> 
> This decision will remove a Parent's right to choose who works with
> their children. Parents will not be allowed to refuse a homosexual
> hockey coach or scout leader. Parents will not be allowed to
> "discriminate" against homosexual predators such as the infamous Graham
> James, coach of the Calgary Hitmen.
> 
> 4.) Erosion of Religious Freedom
> 
> The decision should send shivers down the backs of people of all faiths.
> Churches will no longer be allowed to "discriminate" against people for
> their sexual orientation. Churches will eventually be forced to accept
> homosexual clergy and homosexual marriage. The government will be
> redefining what is politically correct and acceptable. We will eventually
> shift from religious freedom to state mandated religious beliefs and
> practices.
> 
> 5.) Unselected judges should not make law
> 
> The laws of the land should be made by the people of Alberta through
> their elected representatives, not through an unelected body in Ottawa.
> 
> "It is time for Mr. Klein to demonstrate some courage and moral
> leadership. The notwithstanding clause should be used in only rare,
> extremely critical circumstances. This is such a situation, as the
> very moral foundation of our society is at stake."
> 
> "Those of us who oppose this decision will be branded as homophobic.
> The reality is that we are not homophobic but rather our critics are
> moralphobic."
