This is an example of that Ignorance I was speaking of earlier.

Lets test his understanding of culture. He says:

“As for Transformers, it is for the illiterate 3rd-class white masses that enjoy Nascar and think Bush is a ‘Christian genius’ and Obama ‘a Muslim Marxist’.”

I enjoyed transformers, I have a doctoral degree, I do not enjoy Nascar, I think that Bush was a good man with good intentions who did a mediocre job with his foreign policy and acted foolishly/ineptly in regards to his domestic policies, while I consider Obama a Secular Progressive who has acted and formed policies in diametric opposition to the interests of the United States both foreign and domestic.

Therefore, it appears that “Gord Ruddin” is simply wrong. (The irony of leftists such as “Gord Ruddin” being prejudiced against those who actually hold reasoned opinions is not lost on me.)
