Insults and repression of free speech at the Toronto Sun

"I too have an anonymous friend in Chicago, Jerry Agar, and my anonymous friend thinks your anonymous friend is a sore loser who would prefer to insult others, rather than review the policies and actions that lost the Republicans the election.
Disagreeing with outdated policies on women, taxes and war spending does not make anyone greedy, lazy or stupid."
I posted this comment on a Toronto Sun columnist's vitriolic article about the recent GOP election failure. http://www.torontosun.com/2012/11/12/lazy-americans-elected-obama

Jerry Agar and the Toronto Sun have apparently removed the above opinion.
 The Toronto Sun, boys and girls...Champions of freedom of speech, so long as you only say things they agree with.

President Tears


President Tears

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 10, 2012, 7:10 AM
After his second term was rewarded to him, Barack Obama got choked up and shed some tears while thanking his staff and supporters.
I'm sure that some who have previously called the president "detached" will call this expression of his true emotions a sign of weakness.

The first time Obama was elected, he was, for the most part, an unknown entity. Nobody really knew how he would fare as President.
The second victory, however, is a different matter.
His reputation was no longer a mystery, and his record as leader was there for anyone who cared to google the facts.

The first time was a gamble, to a certain degree.

The second time?

A majority of American voters chose the guy they thought was the sure-thing.

Obama cried presidential tears of gratitude, for those who saw the measure of the man and decided to vindicate his vision.

To anyone who voted, reguardless of which way:
Thank you, keep up the wood gork.:)

...and I'll cry if I want to"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to... You would cry too if it happened to you" - Leslie Gore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsYJyVEUaC4&feature=fvwrel No matter where you live, no matter what your police and politicians tell you, YOU have a RIGHT to dislike your government. NOBODY has the right to dictate your approval or disappointment with your elected officials (or tyrannical despots for that matter). Your opinion is your own property, in this Pinhead's humble opinion. There is, however, one caveat. IF you have the RIGHT to VOTE, and you WAIVED that right...you have NOT done YOUR PART to ensure you got the best possible candidate from the choices available. If you're disappointed in a government you couldn't be bothered to vote against....you deserve the shitty leaders you get.
Blame America, AmericaAccording to Bill O'Reilly, the reason Barack Obama won is that there are too many moochers out there who are ignorant of the potential danger of a socialist agenda. In other words, if you looked at the record of Mitt Romney, and decided that you didn't like his tax policies, his foreign policies, or his GOP rape-talking bedfellows, you are either lazy, stupid, or you've been duped by the "mainstream media". I find the contortions that Bill O'Reilly goes through fascinating. On one hand, he would have you believe his show is widely viewed and highly influential....sounds awfully mainstream to me. On the other hand, he wants you to believe that, despite the  influence he claims to wield, a majority of the public chose to ignore his advice, or were simply not interested in hearing it in the first place, preferring the "Mainstream Media" that he tries so hard to emulate while claiming he's not. Republicans have found a reason they lost the election, and it's you, Ameri

Republicans have found a reason they lost the election, and it's you, America, you're just not America enough for Republicans anymore.

Reminds me of the old bumpersticker "America, love it or leave it".
It seems that's been amended to "America, if things don't go our way, we hate it".

Try to be kind to our elephant friends.
Take it easy on them, they've just had their world-view shattered.

Here is a link to a conversation on facebook, where I was called ignorant, lazy, a dope, and....heaven forbid....a CANADIAN. :lol:
UPDATE:  :iconchell-dunphy: dropped some links on the conversation, and it was deleted shortly after, but not before the links she provided were dismissed as not proofy enough.

Remember boys and girls, facts are not welcome at a Pity-Party.
