Obama stabbed a noble, trusting, courageous man in the back
Obama’s China Fiasco
Chen Guancheng’s life is in danger from the Chinese government, and the Obama Administration bears major responsibility for his predicament. Chen is a blind human rights activist in China. Last month he escaped house arrest, breaking his foot when he jumped off a wall, and sought refuge at the U.S. embassy in Beijing.

Unlikely Partners: Chinese Province Teaches Focus on the Family’s Abstinence Curriculum
Despite the nation’s atheism and suspicious nature, China’s Yunnan education ministry has embraced Focus on the Family’s abstinence and marriage education materials, to help manage the country’s shifting sexual mores and skyrocketing divorce rate.
William Watson reported on the international results of an economic freedom poll in yesterday’s Financial Post. He seemed pleased that expressions of support for the free market were around two-thirds in America and Canada despite the fact that they were in the 80s and 90s in places like China, Vietnam, Brazil and Nigeria. Mr. Watson provided all the appropriate caveats for drawing dogmatic conclusions from the simple question that people are asked: “How do you feel about the following statement? ‘Most people are better off in a free market economy, even though some people are rich and some are poor’.”

CSIS director deserves praise, not criticism
By David B. Harris
To intelligence officers, it is called “foreign influenced activity” – FIA. The law books call it manipulation that is “detrimental to the interests of Canada and … clandestine or deceptive or involve(s) a threat to any person.” Either way, it is a direct threat to the constitutional order of Canada, and Canadians should be grateful to CSIS Director Richard Fadden for saying as much in his recent televised warning.
This evil Toronto Star coverage of China’s one-child policy is stunning. The callous cruelty of such carefree reporting on this tragedy is abominable. Those Chinese given permission to have two children may well be happier than when they were only permitted one child, but to report at face value that they are happy, period, is the kind of euphemstic spin you’d expect from a self-serving totalitarian regime. The writer also says that “equally important” as making the Chinese guinea pigs happy was the fact that the two-child policy did not require as much heavy-handed enforcement. The reduced need for brutal enforcement is indeed a good outcome, but to call it equally important with the growth in freedom of the people reflects a goulish, state-ist mentality. Especially when he goes on to discuss the lighter enforcement requirements from the perspective of the government officials rather than the recipients of the beatings and other cruelty. We are shocked that such sentiments would appear in print in Canada in anything other than a scandalous, underground rag. But they appeared in the Toronto Star, in an article by Bill Schiller.
