Just returned from my junket in Louisville, Kentucky and Nashville, Tennessee and so I'm behind. Let's start here.
I marvel at the persistence of bad ideas that stay popular. Ideas, for example, found in left-wing ideologies like socialism and communism. Wester progressives don't see themselves as off-shoots of those isms but that's precisely what they are. That they slap the word 'democratic' in front of socialist is like applying perfume on stinky armpits. It's doesn't wash.
I emphatically reject the notion conservatives/libertarians are as bad as progressives/socialists/liberals on the left when it comes to violent rhetoric, faux righteous behaviour, and anti-free speech beliefs. It's actually a no-contest. It baffles and astonishes me how someone could even possibly equivocate the two. Just the other day I watched Maher debate with Shapiro and he left me with my jaw hitting the floor. I couldn't believe the crap he was saying and the stuff he believes (ie Trump colluded with Russia). Half the shit he was so easily refutable (Shapiro brilliantly knocked him out about Crimea with pin point verifiable facts. All Maher could muster was a smart-alec 'you'll have to do more' as if the burden of proof is on Shapiro. It was Maher making the specious arguments not Ben) saying wasn't even to make a salient point but to try and emotionally rope Shapiro into some lazy-ass counter-factual argument. It was pitiful on his part. I know he's a shallow thinker (Religulous was a ridiculous and sophomoric hit piece against religion. He has an unhealthy and illiterate hatred of religion for some reason.) but that was pathetic.
Anyway, enough of him. Go to youtube for the video. It's very difficult to watch because he represents the left and it was all cringe.
Of course, his audience love that stuff and clap like a bunch of retarded baby seals. "Trump is crazy WOOOO!" /Applause.
The bottom line is you stray from their orthodoxy you will be punished. Principals over principles.
That side is filled with immature rantings and frogs. This side with civility and intellectualism.

Someone asked me about the groping allegations against Justin Trudeau. Like with most of these stories, I prefer to sit on them until more concrete stuff comes out but a couple of things I think we can bring up.
The first is Justin has a skin-crawling, irritating habit of lecturing and over-elucidate for something that requires a simple response. He's incapable of a simple 'yes' or 'no' or 'I'm sorry' response if it's not attached to an ideological agenda. For example, apologizing to Natives for an obscure occurrence long ago or smugly responding '2015' about his 'diverse' cabinet.
And this sets the tone for his minions. Bill Morneau is a good example when he refused to apologize for calling a female conservative MP a 'troglodyte' for not agreeing with his government's foolish stance on gender issues. They truly view themselves as progressives dragging Canadians into the modern age. It's a disgusting, pompous, and utterly unbecoming act.
Trudeau isn't exactly a likeable feller that exudes much confidence does he?
For once in his miserably mediocre run as PM, can he just say 'I'm sorry' like a man?
