Hi! I like your blog! I’m a pretty conservative American, but enjoy listening to people who have sane points of view and who can express them as well as y’all do (I’m from Texas). I followed the links from the Rachel Marsden piece and it ended up here. Glad I did.

As for her, she’s lucky to get off that paper. She’ll pick up a syndicate here in the States and get even more exposure – should drive the Liberals nuts! Every Time they stomp their little feet and through a hissy fit, the target of their rage gets more popular. You would think they would learn LOL!

Felipe,

Seems you’re unfamilliar with U.S. bloggers. The Daily Kos is one of the most widely read and influential American liberal blogs there is. The fact that the blog has a convention, much less that Democrat presidential hopefuls show up for it, should tell you something.

As for waterboarding “SUSPECTED” terrorists, perhaps we should wait until they turn you and your loved ones into charred corpses before we take notice?

The thing is, if speech from Marsden, Coulter, et c were really offensive, the left would want people to hear it, because it would turn people off from conservatism. If it were all lies, it would be easy to expose it as such.

But lefties know people like Marsden are speaking the truth, and it’s for that reason the left has to shut them up.

Just shows what a bunch of petty thugs the left is. No wonder they cheered when Hugo Chavez shut down opposition media and his thugs fired on anti-Castro demonstrators. No wonder they so love speech codes, and want to censor any non-leftist opinion as ‘hate speech.’

Lefties know they can’t win an argument against someone like Rachel Marsden or Ann Coulter (or Limbaugh, or Hannity, or Beck, or Dennis Miller, or Laura Ingraham) on the merits, so they seek to shut them down.

But Felipe here you are showing more concern for a race of people that make up 100% of the attackers skin color on 9/11 than you are for Americans or great Patriots like Malkin or Marsden that give a shit about the safety of this country.

Marsden is actually one Canadian that isn’t so stupid to realize that if the United States loses this crucial fight, Canada is next on the list of the crazies. And guess what? Canada doesn’t have what it takes to survive without the force or the strength of the United States!!!!

In the midst of trying to win a popularity contest with the Middle East, Canadian liberals have forgotten miraculously that it is the United States of America that’s nuclear capability and sophistication basically guarantees them a happy trip to safety and security. It is that strength and security they have taken for granted that allows them to completely understate the strength of this great nation.

Rachel Marsden had the “balls” (regardless of what kind of idiotic rumors you have to spew about her) to stand up amidst a land of crying sissies that have betrayed their friends and rewarded their enemies.

Tell me, what is one gay-UNFRIENDLY thing that Marsden has said that grants the accustory indignance you cast upon her while simultaneously reminding me that men at Guantanamo that would MORE-THAN-LIKELY slit your throat upon learning of your freedoms shouldn’t be waterboarded because they are “SUSPECTED!”

I’m sorry, but you’re plain nuts. You want someone barred from writing who understands that freedom isn’t free but choose to give your benefit of the doubt to men that would kill you and wouldn’t give a damn about your constitutional freedoms.

Tell you what, get the nuts at Gitmo to understand your wuss position, then we’ll talk. Otherwise, leave YOUR security to people who know the hell they’re doing! If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t have the luxury to pointlessly bitch about it now.

How can you swallow whole Rachel’s absurd claim that an obscure left wing US blogging club got her fired from one of the largest newspapers in Canada?
Rachel was and is opposed in Canada (and in the US) by more than “liberals”, Democrats and socialists; libertarians, conservatives, classical liberals, and increasingly, neoconservatives, out of sheer embarassment, have all objected to her presence on the Toronto Sun’s pages.
Add career um, fudging, to her repetoire of criminal and bizarre behavioural issues, and you should be able to figure out why she no longer draws a paycheque in the MSM.
A casual glance at her ruminations and writings should also make abundantly clear she is hardly gay-friendly. Neither — surprise — are Limbaugh, Hannity, Malken, and many others idolize on this site. Marsden, like these people, go far beyond even the indifference and occasional callousness toward queers exhibited by right wing libertarians who tend to be far more friendly.
So, um, yeah — today we bring horrific drowning torture back for SUSPECTED muslim “terrorists”..tomorrow, who? Gays, again?
And Rachel “torture-terrorist” Marsden and her waterboarding have what, exactly, to do with conservatism, again?

That really is unfair. What she said is actually pretty mild. Are people fired in Canada for having opinions? Why else print a column? Ugggggggggg.
