Piracy or peaceful protest?

Toronto Sun columnist, Joe Warmington, has an article about the Greenpeace organization's latest stunt. Three Greenpeace activists were arrested for boarding and blocking a coal ship in Lake Erie from delivering its load to a coal plant at Nanticoke. Ontario Police Commissioner, Julian Fantino, referred to this illegal action as "dangerous, despicable and an act of anarchy”

"We will not be silenced by intimidation," Bruce Cox, executive director of Greenpeace Canada, said in a news release.

Excuse me, but who is doing the intimidation? The Greenpeace organization, that has a history of attacking sea vessels, or the OPP commissioner, who has a duty to uphold the law and is justly criticizing “law breakers”? Maybe it is time that this organization takes a serious look at changing the name, Green-peace, as there is nothing peaceful about this one proud organization, that has now been overrun by thugs.

As usual, the "Red" Star and other left leaning media outlets have put a positive spin on their illegal action. What they fail to realize is that power from the Nanticoke generating station is contributing to keeping the light on in their offices and is keeping many of these protestors homes warm during the winter. Hopefully with enough prodding some of these misguided individuals will soon "see the light"

Piracy : Illegal act of violence, detention, or plunder committed for private ends by the crew of a private ship against another ship on the high seas.

According to the definition, I would definitely have to go with piracy ! Oh, but wait, it was committed by a left-wing organization so anybody that criticizes is an "extreme right-wing" loony who's been co-opted by the military-industrial complex or multi-nationals or the religious-right or is friends with George Bush and can be dismissed as irrelevant even if his opinion is shared by a silent majority.

Fuck ! I hate the left.

Green Peace are idiots and always have been and make it bad for those who have a right to protest and have a passion for a cause.

Look how Martin Luther King did it - millions, walking, peacefully and it had more impact than any protest march that I can recall.

This isn't about the left - it's about idiots - we have them both on the right and the left (Martin Luther King was "left" by the way).

"Fuck! I hate the left". Hate? Pretty strong word to be using - is this a right wing thing - hatred? Sad.

Yes, I HATE the left;

I hate their moral relativism that puts wicca, paganism and new age Californian crystal power theology on the same footing as Judeo-Christian tradition.

I hate their secular humanism that tries to make faith something to be ashamed of.

I hate the ease with which they use the suffix "...phobe" to stifle any discussion or debate.

I hate their victimhood industry that works to remove all personal responsibility for ones actions. You're in one of the "victim" groups, society made you do it!

I hate their Michael Moores, their Al Gores, their Laurie Davids, their Leonardo DiCaprios who have perfected the selective use of facts to support their do as we say-not as we do agendas.

I hate their influence on the judiciary that has resulted in a softening in sentencing and the removal of the punitive aspect of a prison sentence. Cable TV and taxpayer funded tattoo parlors; now that's hard time.

I hate how all of these left-wing ideas have turned Canadian government into a tax and spend nanny state and Canadian society into a whiny, politically correct subservient population that shies away using the word HATE.

I hate the left and all it stands for and I will not apologize for that.

These people will never see the light they are to far gone on the left. If they had there
way we would all be living back in the stone
age chuckles;)

I think its just a waste of saliva to try
and make them see the light.
