Ah, Neil MacDonald. The classic journalist playing intellectual. Gatekeeper for democracy!
"It's generally accepted in America that democracy is an absolute good; that, like tolerance, there can never be too much of it.
But absolutism never survives the test of rational thought.
Tolerance goes too far when it tolerates intolerance. And democracy founders when people are convinced to embrace something fundamentally undemocratic."
What in the fuck is this mess?
First off, technically, America is a constitutional republic. Second...
But absolutism never survives the test of rational thought.
Make an absolute claim with, an absolute assertion!
Tolerance goes too far when it tolerates intolerance. And democracy founders when people are convinced to embrace something fundamentally undemocratic."
Whaaa? No. No it does not.
Reminds me of those boobs who in their ever so compassionate plea to 'balance' free speech, argue there can be too much of it "if" it hurts someone's feelings.
"When Donald Trump does this as a populist tool … he is directly undermining the national interest of the United States for political reasons," says Gerson. "That itself is disqualifying in a president."
He says this as if Trump is the only one who does this. Sanders and Hillary are equal to that task.
"The U.S. government does not have an absolute populist democracy," he argues, "and the parties are not run as absolute populist democracies.
Again. I ask. What's the difference between the Trump's populism and the one being pimped by Hillary and Sanders?
Canadian intellectualism boils down to one root: Us good U.S. bad.
It's, well, functionally retarded.
Like Forrest Gump.

Imagine all that access and this is the best he comes up with? On our dime?
