Religious Bully: Charles McVety

Mr so-called 'family values' Charles McVety is threatening Liberals who vote against the Cons same sex marriage bill.

Via canada.com:

OTTAWA (CP) - Christian activists will make life hell on the next campaign trail for MPs who break their vows to protect traditional marriage, says a staunch opponent of gay weddings.

Charles McVety, head of the independent Defend Marriage movement, will be in Ottawa on Wednesday when Parliament is set to debate a Conservative motion that could reopen Liberal schisms on a touchy subject.

It calls on the government to introduce legislation to restore the traditional definition of marriage "while respecting existing same-sex marriages." A vote is expected Thursday.
[...]
McVety says he'll be closely watching more than 30 Liberal MPs who voted against gay weddings. Many have publicly said they'll work to restore marriage as the exclusive domain of one man, one woman.

If those MPs vote against the Tory motion "then they are against the traditional definition of marriage," said McVety, also president of Canada Christian College.

"That message will be taken to their constituents during the next election. We will rally armies of volunteers to work against them - to work for their opponent [sic]."

At stake is the religious freedom of clergy and educators, along with the interests of children who are best raised by a mother and father, says McVety.

You and your armies can mount whatever kind of crusades you want to McVety, but the days of radical evangelicals influencing politics in North America are over. See: States, United; Administration: Bush; and Results: US Election 2006.
