Wow! Imagine somebody with the fortitude to stand up to the mob. And a Republican (in Canada, read Conservative) to boot. In Canada, we only have a couple of politicians with the stones to call out the rude, unruly, irreverent chorus of angry-at-everything voices. And they get shit thrown at them, abuse and threats directed at them, and you’d think the whole country and everyone in it is bananas. But it’s not, and they’re not. They’re the loud-mouthed brigade of bombastic self-righteous bullies, many of them so-called religious. And they’re in the minority.
They are the fringe. They’re worthy of the tin-foil hats. And like all bullies everywhere, they need to be stood up to. My congratulations to Chris Christie for his measured, mature, yet effective manner in confronting these blowhards,
