Boys n girls, leaders of the Harpercon cheerleader has just sunk to new lows today — they printed an attack on a baby boy just born today . I’m not kidding. You see, boys n girls, Justin Trudeau and Sophie Gregoire’s third child was born today, a baby boy they named Hadrian. Yup, they attacked the child because they simply don’t like the name, supposedly.
Hadrian, who reigned from 117 to 138 A.D., is commonly called one of the five good emperors because of his economic stewardship of the empire and his lack of belligerence in launching wars on his neighbours. Arguably Rome’s most enigmatic emperor, he also built a legendary wall separating England and Scotland to keep the Scots at bay.
But he is reviled among the Jewish community. During the Third Jewish War, Hadrian crushed a Jewish uprising using almost genocidal force, killing upwards of 500,000 and destroying almost 1,000 villages. The Talmud follows his name with the curse “Crush his bones.”
Ruling an empire that comprised much of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East, Hadrian was also one of the first emperors to openly display his homosexuality. His gay lover, Antinous, accompanied him on his trips round the empire and when he died young in a swimming accident, Hadrian named a city after him in Egypt.
The story, of course, has no byline — simply penned as National Post staff, however, any bets that ol’ John Ivison , probably the only Scotsman to be a fan of Maggie Thatcher the milk snatcher penned this drivel?
I’m thinking that the Kim Campbell attack ad on Jean Chretien’s facial deformity in 1993 election campaign, which was disgusting enough, is starting to pale in comparison to attacking Sophie Gregoire and Justin Trudeau’s new son.
Yup, boys n girls, the baby is not even a day old and already he is dubbed as an anti-semitic gay emperor.
It should also be known that there are other historical figures named Hadrian. Perhaps Justin and Sophie just like the name. But who cares?
Something tells me that if they named the child anything else, like, Michel after his late brother who went missing in an avalanche, those Cons would’ve attacked that too.
You stay Klassy, Nasty Post & John Ivison!!
