TheIronMaiden,
Unfortunately you're right. There's lots of racist liberals they just approach it differently than the conservatives, usually. With a bit more tact, but they exist too.
Having returned to this board after about a 3 year hiatus, I wonder if I should have bothered. Its the same posters bashing conservatives regardless of what they've said. The hockey forum is a bit better but its really tense in there too, lots of anger.
Michelle Rempel could save a drowning child and she'd be blamed by some posters for doing something wrong. Its pathetic.
Michelle Rempel said some very important things in her post. She was thoughtful and honest, whether one agrees with her or not.
Note Raj Sherman is trying to get the same exemption Michelle Rempel was given. Given his history in the province, I think he should be given a chance. While he wouldn't sit well with those "racist conservatives" (which clearly exist), he has been a champion for values I find quite consistent with my own. I have no intention of buying a membership to vote in the election, but if I did, I'd give him consideration. Might not vote for him, but I would like to hear on how he would approach health care. Would he just spend money or does he have other ideas? Its a huge issue.
