Here in the blogosphere, anonymous is the comment name of choice. Most people aren't willing to own their own words, even when they're being politically correct. However, anonymous said allows them to really let loose. Some bloggers allow anonymous, but then reprimand their commenters when they insult someone. Here at molovinsky, I allow registered pseudonyms.
Now, there is nothing wrong with people who have manners, but chances are they will not become bloggers.
"I was quoting someone he considers biased against a certain group"
ReplyDeleteEveryone has a bias. What has happened is that the left has worked to sensitize minorities, in an attempt to control them and get their support (votes). The left has really worked to find new minorities (such a transgender) and exaggerate a problem against them.
Then the minority rights (even when they are 0.01% of the population) are more important than the rights of the rest of us. This may actually create more of a bias.
As a white male, do you think we really care about biases against us? No, We go to work and pay a boat load of taxes.

House Minority Leader Melissa Hortman, of Brooklyn Park, is so far refusing to apologize for saying, “I hate to break up the 100 percent white male card game in the retiring room, but I think this is an important debate.”
Well said, Mr. doug_b.
ReplyDeleteAs you say, "We go to work and pay a boat load of taxes." And the Democratic Party Kommissars have perfected the rhetorical card trick of convincing the weak-minded left that the fruits of our labors are ill-gotten gains.
