From my experience, the conservatives who comment on blogs like this one have no interest at all in serious dialogue. They’ve already made up their minds (I use the term loosely), and all they really want is to poke fun at “liberals” because it distracts them from their own miserable lives.

You’re definitely not an asshole — I don’t even think schadenfreude is the necessary word for it. When the daughter of an anti-birth control, anti-abortion loon gets knocked up at 17 and then dedicates her life to abstinence only sex education (impeding the reproductive health of other girls and women), publicly…

I think Kourtney's kids are all so ugly. It's mean, but it is true.

I hear you. I voted Liberal but I know very well that our PM is unlikely to be at the airport for every arrival subsequent to this one.

I’d have voted for that too. What kind of weird parallel universe has politicians making realistic promises, though?

This is important stuff. The world needs to know that Canada is not at war with Islam. I prefer my PM to be visible. Yes, it’s a change after nearly a decade of that guy who wouldn’t even answer any questions, but I don’t actually think it should be unusual to see your Prime Minister.

Really? How is that barista career working out for you?
