I Had To Do It!
I took a stroll over to the blahg this evening and here's what I found. I've added my own comments in (italics)...

Connies are thugs.

They are thugs. Practically every word that drips from their lips conveys an utter contempt for anyone who doesn’t think like them. The only check they have on their behaviour is the rule of law, which, we have to admit, we (meaning non-thugs) have been forced to implement to protect ourselves from them.
Which is why their gaining control over the legislative process is always a major concern.

What else is there to say on this topic? What else is there to say about anything, in fact? It’s probably just my mood, but as far as I can tell, the entire Web is now simply UseNet. Uninformative and a means by which we see, all too clearly, that there are a lot of sick and angry people in the world.
I lurked briefly at Cannuckistan today. One of the commenters is talking about killing lefties with his gun, and Richard’s got a flash animation indulging pedophilia.
It’s astonishing, really.
(ummmm... If I remember correctly, the post and animation in question speaks out against pedophilia. I should know because I made it!)

I doubt it. I think I just allowed Richard and Phantom to pollute the comments for so long that it will take time for everyone to notice they’re gone. And I think once the election is over and I get back to blogging issues instead of being bored with said election, the discussion will return.

Yeah, Pete in Midland isn’t the sharpest knife in that drawer, and that’s saying A LOT.
Ti-Guy Says:
January 20th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
Yeah, right…Midland. More like Penetang, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, the Chronicles is pretty gross. Lots of gay bashing etc… But they are the Conservative base, as is Kate over at SDA. Scary shit.
(I'm sorry Peter, did you just equate homosexuals with pedophiles?)
Speaking of SDA, anyone see the thing she wrote for the CBC on the Green Party and environmentalism? If that is how the right thinks on the issue, we better run for the hills Red Dawn style.

No, I didn’t, but lemme guess. It went something like this:
Bitch, bitch, bitch. *hiss* *snarl*…The CBC sucks, although when it hosts my rants, it doesn’t….Airbrushing trite designs on helmets for money is the only art worth supporting. God, Canada sucks.
Right?

Close, she essentially made fun of the candidate who was living off the grid in an alternative energy home and then made fun of David Suzuki and implied that environmentalists are a bunch of doomsdayers and real people have more important things to worry about, like day to day life.
And I wonder why, geoloigically speaking, we are on the brink of serious trouble for our species.

Well, anyway, I had in fact read Kate’s post . All it seemed to say “Environmental problems? What environmental problems? These are just issues for hysterical cause-aholics like David Suzuki build a career on.”
It’s always the same thing with these people. Many decades ago, my relatives in Toronto were sneering at the people who opposed the Spadina Expressway. They knew nothing about urban planning and design and they thought the dense urban core was nightmarish. They saw it simply as a transportation obstacle for surbanites like themselves, which could be neatly solved by an elevated expressway.
Years later, they look around at their barren and soul-less Scarborough suburb and shudder at the thought of a crumbling, rusty, noisy expressway running right down Spadina Avenue.
It’s not that Kate is wrong about these issues, it’s just that she’s says nothing at all useful about them, and she takes up valuable space in a crowded media landscape while she does it.
She’s informational pollution, plain and simple.

“It’s not that Kate is wrong about these issues”
I disagree, she is most definitly wrong about these issues

I agree with Robert’s assessment. I have been reading My Blahg regularly but refrained from reading or posting in the comments section because it was becoming a chat room.

Kate and I exchanged a couple of acrimonious emails yesterday in which she threatened to “make an example of you” (referring to me). This all started after I received an unsolicited email from one of her true believers. (I hadn’t realized that she posts everyone’s email address as part of the comment and I was annoyed!)
She really thinks a lot of herself, for sure. It’s common in those faced with public notoriety, even fame of a sort. They start to believe the bullshit after awhile. How could they not? It’s all they hear.
It’s a problem for politicians, judges, ski instructors, hurdle jumpers, surgeons, rock stars, and now apparently, even for bloggers like Kate. lol
How can you convince anyone their opinion is wrong when they have hundreds of people telling them how smart and right they are every day? The sheer numbers count for most of it. Who’s willing to listen to the solitary voice over the noise of the machine? Certainly not Kate. But like you say, Ti-Guy - she’s part of the machine - “informational pollution”, indeed.
I hated to have to show this to you but you need to understand that these folks, and those like them, are the reason Canada is more appropriately known as "Cannuckistan"
Welcome to the socialist utopia!
