Just what this country needs --- Another Ultra-Right Wing Group of Looney Tunes --- Isn't the Reform Party Enough??????

Have you guys not found a remote Montana farm house yet???

Sorry Jay, there are no Montana farm houses in Ontario --- they're in Montana! But what would make you think that Freedom Party is right wing?

For example, right wingers support censorship. Freedom Party supports freedom of speech.

Right wingers support drug prohibition. Freedom Party opposes prohibition.

Right wingers support prohibition on abortion. Freedom Party supports freedom of choice in abortion.

Right wingers support business subsidies. Freedom Party opposes government business subsidies. Etc. Etc.

As to the Reform Party: While Freedom Party may agree with several Reform policies, we have just as many disagreements. In fact, the Reform Party disagrees with us in three out of the four examples just cited.

Nevertheless, one thing that we've learned from our own political experience is that labels (i.e., 'right wing', 'left wing', and even 'loonie tunes') give their users an easy and convenient way to avoid discussing the issues.

So if there's a particular issue you don't happen to agree with, please let us know; we'd be happy to address your concerns. What this country definitely doesn't need, is more people who paint all political parties with the same brush. [rm]
