Coming out of the closet. Doug outs me.
Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 7:31AM Short time to post, but this is one that I can't keep in. I noticed in the post below that someone named Doug Black, (we will never know if that's his real name), has trolled past my blog and left his mark.
"This whole blog seems Liberal to me"
I used to be a close-minded prick too, and would ignore what someone might be saying, just so I could feel good about where I was standing. It was not about what they had to say, or giving their opinions their due consideration. The more I screamed "Liberal!" the better it made me feel.
Lobbing grenades is easy. Using a bayonet in the trenches, looking in the other guys eyes, that's tougher. Sitting across the table debating differences, negotiating treaties and working towards mutuallly beneficial solutions, that's the work of real statesmen.
This blog is neither Liberal nor Conservative. It's a fucking blog, not a political candidate. It happens to be my collection of thoughts, and more and more you are probably seeing a trend away from partisanship, simply because of guys like Doug, who find more solace in being on a side, than on thinking about issues.
We're not fighting Hitler here folks, were discussing governance, business and life.

Good points. Thanks.
Rofl... I so loved the "fucking blog" comment and it just got my mind to wander a bit into thinking... If the blog got pregnant and had little ones, would they then become blogettes, going off to spawn even more?
With that said, I can add in that we have never met (yet), haven't had any chat time, and have occasionally exchanged the odd comments within twitter. What I have see is someone passionate about wanting things to be better. Someone who is tired of the wasted time and energy that comes from bad policies, regardless of the party presenting them. Someone who just wants things to be done right FOR the people, done BY the people who were elected.
Personally I am not in favor of any political "party", either provincially or federally. Little pieces of each party have both good points and bad points. And until these political buffalos start working together instead of wasting time PLAYING politics, I have little use for any of them. Naturally, and regardless of the party they represent, there are some good politicians who do seem to have "the faith" and are willing to do what they were elected to do... which is to represent the PEOPLE. Those are the folks I admire. Those who just follow the party line, instead of the people who hired them, are nothing more than..... well, you get the idea.
So Chris, just keep your fucking blog on the go...
I knew it all along Chris. There is no way in hell ou could have stayed in the closet long.... LoL..
Great Entry!
These are certainly frustrating times for Conservative types and their trickle down policies. I'm guessing this guy wouldn't know a liberal if it bit him on the tail! Moreover I'm thinking this guy isn't happy unless everything is going his way; all the time.
Fucking Liberal.
