Confirmed:National Post is written by idiots for idiots

So I decided today to check out what passes for “journalism” these days at the National Post Putz,and came across a real gem.

Indeed this one piece,by  one Charles Lewis touches on many of the standard talking points lunacies we have all come to expect from the Post & its stable of mostly hacks. In fact the article ties many of these talking points loony-tunes together in such a manner, that not only does it boggle the mind it defies all logic.

Even taking into account the lowly “standards” of the Post this particular article stands out.My first thoughts were is this satire or are these guys just nuts ? After reading the entire piece ,along with the comments, I have had to conclude  the  former,their nuts.

Well that and the fact that the hacks at the Post do not know what satire is,I guess that stick up their ass keeps them seeing red.

There are the inevitable references to political correctness (yawn) and how it supposedly taints everything,indeed its all the fault of those “liberals/leftist” ,code for anyone who is not conservative.

Actually I should qualify that…

What they mean by conservative is that peculiar brand of “conservative”  “thinking” that fuels the mean spirited,spiteful & simplistic mindset of big-daddy Harper et al.

I should  pointed out that to be conservative does not imply one is stupid , but there is conservative and then there’s “conservative” . When I think of conservative I am reminded of George Grant & of that  noble thinking tradition called ‘red-toryism’(the key concept being the thinking part),I definitly do not think of the National Post or Harper .

And of course no National Post writer worth his or her salt would/could ever pass up the opportunity to ridicule global warming or environmentalism,blah blah. No matter how absurd or how tenuous the link to the particular subject matter  at hand. So what the hell, a few references to Mao,comrades & the old Soviet Union can’t hurt,particularly when your targeted audience is just as cognitively challenged as one’s self.

Don’t get me wrong criticism(s) of certain aspects of environmental issues and or ,of some of the personalities involved is definitly warranted at time,this is not one of them,eyeball-roll.

So what’s this article about you ask,well shopping bag. Yep that’s right shopping bags,in particular the reusable kind,bags which are obviously part of  a Stalinist/socialist plan aimed at our indoctrination &  stifling.

My gawd the inhumanity of it all,imagine reusable bags and least I forget,recycling. Damn those P.C spouting liberals & leftists.

Seems Mr Lewis has had it with all those people that attempt to take responsibility for their actions and or do what they can to limit the negative impacts on the environment .

He writes…

The bag has become the equivalent of Mao’s Little Red Book. We are schlepping to the same beat and it is not pretty.

Wtf…”Mao’s little red book” ?

Anyway, I thought taking responsibility for one’s action was a good thing ?

Damn… the very idea that some media outfit would pay someone to write such tripe is just as unbelievable as them actually publishing it.

No wonder the  National Post is on the verge of going the way of the dodo bird,or is it the dum-dum bird

Don’t believe me read for yourself
