How we detest the French in Quebec!

How the French in Quebec detest us!
I recently published both at King's Calendar and Magic City Morning Star News in Maine USA, an article entitled: Islamic Racism in Herouxville Quebec. Today, I (along with other organisations apparently), received an email from one Kenneth T. Tellis with what appears to be an article submitted for publication. And so here it is.
Is Herouxville, Quebec, an omen of things to come?
Dear Editor:
When the town of Herouxville, Quebec, passed its own laws in violation of the Canadian Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms, no one any paid any attention to what the real aims of these Quebecois were. Of course one has to dig down deep enough to get at the core. But believe you me, it's been right there all the time.
What were the REAL aims of Quebec's language laws in the first place? It was to stop the advance of any language, other than JOUAL (French patois), the language of the Quebecois nation. The intent was to dumb down others who were not Quebecois, into becoming as semi-illiterate as the Quebecois/Quebecois themselves.
If we put together all the issues regarding language, it becomes all too clear, why these efforts were ever put into place. Consider the declining Quebecois birthrate, and rising birthrate of the new immigrants? The Quebecois birthrate is now in a minus two situation, while the new immigrant birthrate is in a plus eight situation. Given the facts that between 10 to 20 years hence, the Quebecois population will decline and become a minority of possibly 20 -25% of the entire population in the province. Thus the Quebecois will no longer hold sway, but become powerless to control the new majority. The next step, will be that the new population of non-Quebecois background will automatically switch the province's language to ENGLISH. Thus the Quebecois will have no choice, but accept the decision of the new majority. The JOUAL language will now recede even further, and become akin to Cajun, or the Gumbo dialect of Louisiana, USA. But, by then Quebec will also become a backwater like the state of Louisiana, where people can go to catch a mess of Catfish, bake some Crawfish Pie, and cook some Filet Gumbo and Jambalaya. Who knows, the Quebecois might even learn to speak GUMBO, like the natives of Louisiana. That would surely be quaint, would it not?.
In attempting to stem the tide of English, the Quebecois have achieved absolutely nothing. Because time and tide wait for no one. The Quebecois language laws are just delaying tactics as decided by the Quebecois and their Roman Catholic Church. But given the space of 10- 20 years, it will be game over for the Quebecois and their dying Joual language. Can the Quebecois do anything about it? No! Because they are trying to hold back the surging tide, and nature cannot be stopped. Hence, the Quebecois/ Quebecoise as a people will disappear into the pages of history, never to be heard of again. Yes! Stories will abound of the Quebec that was, but that will be all.
The conclusion to that story will be: Adieu Quebec! Bonne chance! You will be remembered, but only in history books of the future.

Re: Fort Hood Massacre I invite readers to think about the educators of our "politically correct" or non-judgmental media, because the core of the problem consists not in cowardly or obfuscating journalists but rather the universities that educated them.
We boast of these universities, even though they produce so many moral idiots. I mean men and women stultified by the academic doctrine of moral or cultural relativism. Because it is this doctrine that prompts "politically correct" fools to hire Muslims to serve on US military bases.
The social engineering of society, to accommodate 'ideological agendas' which sound so great, usually fall victim to 'The Law of Unintended Consequences'.
But when the 'rights' of ideologues, social engineers and political activists start impinging on our personal and traditional identity; which is to say, 'our national culture', then it is time to sit back and say 'enough!
We really do need to pay more attention to how our own minds operate, and how we are both consciously and subconsciously effected by Media Propaganda.
It's very easy to 'take sides' in an issue, and it is very easy to be persuaded of a cause, but at the end of the day, unless it is our specific purpose to blind ourselves to the truth, it is encumbent upon us to do our best to look at every situation from as many persepectives as possible...to make sure that we are not 'obsessive and compulsive' in our political and social judgements.
Is it possible that we and our kids are living in a state of 'stupor', controlled by external forces that seek to mould us to their wills? Does the media and do the Universities engineer what we think? Do they try to cast a spell over our minds and our thoughts?
Humankind (I'm afraid to write 'mankind') loves and admires charasmatic speakers and leaders, and naturally we expect students to 'look up to' their teachers. What happens when those leaders and teachers are not worthy of honour, or are teaching that which is contrary to our own (family/ social/ cultural or traditional) culture?
Political Correctness is ultimately a game where the one who is speaking is free to speak, and anyone who speaks against him/her is in the wrong, unless of course what you are saying, has the support of the majority of the 'socio-political' elites. In truth, Free Speech is a Myth
