Bad Behavior

It seems the traffic I got yesterday was largely from people coming over here to insult me for my beliefs. Based on one hasty post, which had some typos and sloppy grammar, a blog tried to paint that as representative of my work. This while admitting they had just come across my blog. And some of the readers of that blog decided they were now literary experts and could critique my entire oeuvre based on this one, obnoxious critique.

But what they were all, really saying is: “How dare you disagree with our positions!”. You see, left wingers believe in free speech, as long as it agrees with theirs. They think insults are debate. And that snide, high-handedness equates to reason.

If I was a Bush basher, human hating AGW acolyte, I would be hailed as the William Faulkner of my generation. Instead, I am told: “You suck, dude.”

This litany of invective was trying to tell me to shut up. Or, what the peace pimps call “crushing dissent”. 

To paraphrase Bugs Bunny: “They don’t know me very well, do they?”

Sorry, peeps. All you’ve done is inspire me to do more.

And oh, thanks for the traffic! 

1. An interesting trend I’ve seen among the ultra-lefties online is the belief in free speech with limits (which is about as oxymoronic as it gets). They say they believe in free speech, but they want to censor anyone who doesn’t espouse their point of view.

2. They love to call people fascists, yet fail to see the irony in its use.

3. Another fine example of how the left behaves when they disagree with another’s view - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSc4NjF-oEE

4. James,

   Obviously I disagree with you on one subject. But, I shall never use the fact you are an obstinant, cranky old fart with the personality of a wolverine with generalized anxiety disorder to support my arguments regarding your stance.
