The media and social conservatives

My letter in today's National Post

Re: Please, Treat Us Like Lepers, John Robson, May 19.

Thanks to John Robson’s refreshing counterpoint to the unabated bullying from the media we endure, as “scary,” “radical bozo,” “far right” and “socon zealots,”,also known as social conservatives. This constant vilification is ironic, when the so-called progressives like to speak of tolerance at every opportunity, except it seems, when it comes to us scary types.

It seems there is only one socially acceptable value system allowed in Canada, and it’s not being socially conservative.
