    Yet another attack on free speech from the liberals. Pretty soon it will be illegal to question anything.

    French parliament passes Armenian genocide billBy the CNN Wire Staff
    updated 8:46 AM EST, Thu December 22, 2011
    STORY HIGHLIGHTS

    (CNN) -- France's parliament passed a controversial Armenian genocide draft law Thursday, making it a crime to publicly deny the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turks last century, a National Assembly press officer said.

    The bill -- applauded by Armenians -- must now be voted on by the country's Senate. But it has been roundly deplored by Turkey.

    Armenian groups and many scholars argue that starting in 1915, Turks committed genocide, when more than a million ethnic Armenians were massacred in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire.

    "The issue should be researched not by politicians, but by historians," Turkish Parliament Speaker Cemil Cicek said.

    It's unfair to hold France to the same high standards of liberty that we have in America.

    The French are simply not our equal in that respect and never will be.

    The lesson here: If you value free speech don't move to France.

    Europe will be reduced to communicating in grunts pretty soon, then the progressives here will want to emulate them...

    Especially if you don't want your balls groped in a US international airport.

    So much for high standards. High hands, more like it!

    Thank the liberals for that.

    We could use the Israeli system of profiling likely terror suspects but the libs object.

    Yes! Blame the liberals for everything.

    When are the conservatives going to accept they share the blame. If only 25% of it.

    Too bad. I'm here. So you will have to accept my anti-conservative remarks, won't you?

    Well, you can always put me on ignore. That's what the cowards do.

    We understand.

    Canada is such a bland, boring country and you want to be where all the action is.

    I'm a Jewish Canadian conservative with US liberal leanings, plus a dash of UK independence over the festive period. Consequently, nothing offends me.

    A Merry Christmas to you too. And all your conservative friends. And all the liberals too. As well as the independents.

    And a Happy New Year, to boot.

    Yet you can't seem to ignore it, can you?

    Action? Comedy is more like it, what with the Republican offerings for President.

    Yes they will. They don't want the world to realize that genocide is very common. America alone killed millions of civilians in WW2 and also in korea, vietnam, and iraq.
