SHEEN EMBRACED IN CANADA
Sun Sep 21 2003 23:31:42 ET

American actor and activist Martin Sheen had kind words for Canada when he received an award for being a Christian role model, the CANADIAN PRESS reports.

"Every time I cross this border I feel like I've left the land of lunatics," Sheen said Saturday, adding he was "proud" of Canada for not entering the Iraq war.

"You are not armed and dangerous. You do not shoot each other. I always feel a bit more human when I come here."

Sheen, who has been outspoken recently in his opposition the U.S.-led war in Iraq, was in Windsor to receive the Christian Culture Gold Medal from Assumption University.

The university will offer a new scholarship in his name.

This has nothing to do with Canada, and everything to do with Chritianity. Sheen calls himself a devout Catholic, yet he thinks abortion is not a religious issue, and he is pro-choice. His real religion is liberalism, and for a religious organisation to award him a Christian Culture award is a sign of how Western churches have been taken over by lefties. No wonder so many churches are empty.

Probably more to do with the self-righteous blatherings of hopeless right-wingers combined with that huge blind eye turned toward the molestation of small boys.

Just guessing.

The skiing in Canada is supposed to be good. Will check it out one day.

*Tosses Sheen onto the pile with Sean Penn and the Dixie Chicks*

If you are right, then these leftist churches should start filling up with worshippers.

So we're the land of lunatics...funny he looked a bit looney to me when he preached the anti-war stuff a few months back.

But hey, my offer to help Cher move is still open...she seems to have changed her promise sometime after the election results came out

Wish he would demonstrate by putting the duct tape on his mouth again. And just leave it there...

Some would argue that it's better to critizise and try to improve than to just go along or flee the troubles alltogether.

On a sidenote: I find it rather sad when people cannot distinguish between a piece of work and the political conviction of the one doing it. I try to judge something on its own merits.

I hate communism with a passion, yet I find the Russian/Soviet anthems very much to my liking. I hate nazis but think the 190 series is the most beautiful airplanes produced. I disagree vehemently with the late author Hans Kirch but like some of his works.

Labelling people is a cop-out used when one doesn't wish to use ones brain. IMHO.

I likewise find it sad when people with artful talent use that as a vehicle to push their political messages.

And I'll make it known through my purchases exactly how I feel about being referred to by Mr. Sheen as a "Lunatic".
