The left is fond of ascribing psychological infirmities to those they oppose on the right, e.g., George Bush does do what he does out of conviction but because he's a recovering alcoholic with unresolved issues. <br /><br />They do this so much that I'm beginning to ascribe it to some pychological deficiency of their own, .... but that would be mean. <br /><br />I enjoy your blog very much.John the Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899858119936750764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160593.post-1107681748876416322005-02-06T04:22:00.000-05:002005-02-06T04:22:00.000-05:00Great post John, and I have to concur as must as I...Great post John, and I have to concur as must as I abhor what's going on with SSM I'm getting rather weary with it as far as topics go. I find its mostly because its absolutely impossible to have an honest debate on the matter. All you get is some sort of glib statement about "it doesn't affect you, none of your business" or "you'd have to use the notwithstanding clause". There really is no positive argument ever marshalled in favour of it aside from "they want too". Nor does anyone for it appear to want to consider the argument against it, they simply want to label you a bigot and some sort of retrograde neaderthal. Its really terribly frustrating when you've actually taken the time to work out your position to have people simply dismiss it out of hand and on flimsy grounds.<br /><br />Not to mention the disgusting media cheerleading that's been occuring for the most part, and the fictious creation of divisions within a party that overwhelmingly uniform on the issue. For once I'd like to see news that simply reported not distorted events.<br /><br />- ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628728347599057479noreply@blogger.com
