European Parliament Versus Pro-Family Conference
The politically correct bureauweenies who make up the European Parliament don't like it one bit that Assistant Secretary of State Ellen Sauerbrey plans to speak at the World Congress of Families in Warsaw next month.
Nineteen parliamentarians signed a letter to Sauerbrey, demanding she stay home on the grounds that the Congress is being organized by the Howard Center for Family, Religion, and Society, which is deemed to promote "extremist and intolerant views" — in other words, it advocates the preservation of civilization.
The high-ranking moonbats find it unconscionable that Sauerbrey would appear at the same event as Steven Mosher, whose Population Research Institute has acknowledged the ongoing "demographic destruction" of Europe by encroaching Muslim hordes. They quote PRI:
These immigrants, particularly Muslim ones in Europe, are too many and too culturally different from their new countries' populations to assimilate quickly, and they are contributing to the cultural suicide of these nations as they commit demographic suicide.
No reasonable person disputes this is true, but how gauche to say it out loud!
Also attending the Congress will be Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo of the Pontifical Council for the Family, who has suggested that abstinence is more effective at controlling the spread of AIDS than condoms — another undeniably true political faux pas.
Still more outrageous is the fact that the Congress will be held in Poland, whose President Lech Kaczynski once refused to meet with the organizers of a gay privileges parade, and even went so far as to observe that they were "perverts."
Homosexual "marriage" is also at issue. The Euroweenies are appalled that
Many speakers have themselves or represent organizations that have expressed outright hostility to recognizing any family unit that does not include a married couple and their offspring.
Of course they believe in freedom of speech — but…
We have no problem with people expressing beliefs and convictions that we do not share. In a free society, that is right and just. However, we do object when foreign government officials lend support to such views, especially when platforms are used to denigrate and attack those with whom they disagree.
You know, like the way they themselves denigrate and attack the people taking part in the World Congress of Families by attempting to characterize them as hate-filled extremists.
Sauerbrey is unlikely to help the EU shut out the Congress, since she knows what it's like to get the cold shoulder for attempting to uphold morality in an immoral world. She was appointed to her State Department position after coming within 6,000 votes of becoming Governor of Maryland. However, her recess appointment will expire at the end of the year. Congressional Dems object that she's not a fan of abortion.
On a tip from Fellowes.

Ellen Sauerbray would have been governor of Maryland had not the Democrat machine in Baltimore mysteriously produced thousands of votes in the final hours of counting after the polls had closed.

I second that commentary by V the K.
Am a native Marylander and saw this firsthand.
Gleaning votes from dead people is still a running joke in Baltimore and they're quite open about it.
40 years ago, those who held so-called "extremist and intolerant views" were known as Christians. Now we're called "right-wing" and those who subscribe to true Christianity will be banished. It's coming...believe it.
