The "tolerant" left has struck again. This is my first post here. I am not a political commentator. I consider myself conservative because I'm 46 and have an IQ over 90. It doesn't take a genius to figure out the country is a mess and not getting any better.
I recently got kicked off an alleged "news site" that I have been hanging on for the past 2 years. I was a shining star until I started writing from a conservative viewpoint. I did this on purpose - just to see what the response would be. When I wrote things about pro gay marriage, anti Bush sentiment and even (my personal favorite) insinuating that Benjamin Franklin was a murderer, I was given prizes and my articles were showcased. I even got a little, what I like to call "a pin from the pope" for being a top producer.
Then I started to let my true feelings come out. It started a few weeks ago when some clown said that we should not be allowed to sing our national anthem at sporting events. When I asked him if Canada could sing theirs (such as the case would be if the Toronto Blue Jays came to our fair country) I couldn't get an answer. But then, can you ever get a straight answer from a liberal?
I wrote an article about this. And the true "tolerance" of the left showed their colors. The pledge of allegience should be tossed out. The National Anthem is a "war mongering song." Our country stinks because we are responsible for just about every evil in the world today and for the past 500 years. Even before we were a nation.
My favorite posts were from someone in the frozen wasteland of Canada who just hated America. We were responsible for the poor Iraqis dying, the Iranians were great people (she saw pictures of their country - so she was obviously an expert) and the Jews are responsible for all the evils in the world.
I wrote another article about that and got a warning. Apparently, this anonymous person not only hated our country, but the freedoms it afforded.
Now, I didn't blame her. After all, she lives in Canada. And we've had 6 months of winter in Chicago so I know what the cold can do. But what really offended me were my fellow "country men" who sided with her. One woman even asked if she could "deflect" to Canada. I guess she didn't get the memo that we are not like her Mecca, the Soviet Union.
I got called just about every name in the book for my views. Somehow, I was not popular any longer. My stuff was buried, but they have this darn thing that allows you to view "most commented on" that kept my articles alive. This really made those socialists angry. Apparently, not only was I allowed to state my views, but I was raking in the dough (at 1 cent a click - a liberal's retirement fund).
So I got banned for 10 days. I told them to take my name and likeness off of the site and they did. But, despite the "offensive articles" they would not remove any of them. It seems that those capitalistic dogs want those page views and google adsense clicks. Hypocrisy from the left - what an anomaly.
Well, a friend told me about this place so I thought I could spout my views here. I'll see how it goes. I hope that this is "free speech" site and, unlike the other site, is not subjective about what is considered "offensive."
At least there is no pin from the pope for getting "page views" so I don't have to contend with that. But I hope to meet some nice new friends - maybe those who can debate (if they want) without resorting to the usual liberal dribble and namecalling. And I look forward to reading your blogs as well.
