“The likes of the Blogging Tories and their ilk are more interested in preparing graphs and poll numbers, visions of party wonk jobs dancing in their uninspired heads, to bother to stand up and shout for the very things the party is supposed to represent.
“Kathy, Kate and I can be out there shouting like Canadian Coulters, drawing attention to issues that affect us all and getting people talking, and all the while the men write us off as ‘too controversial’ and kick us out of their clubhouses. When one of us gets a death threat, we only have each other to depend on — Stephen Taylor et al are too busy agreeing with those who seek to silence us, so that maybe they’ll be seen as progressive enough score a policy job.
“To be clear, we don’t expect every conservative in Canada to agree with us — heck, we don’t even agree with each other half the time — but when we’re out there stirring up the bigger issues that affect not only this country but civilization as we know it, we would very much appreciate it if you would quit slagging dead-horse Stephane Dion long enough to defend our right to say the things we’re saying, instead of just knee-jerking us in the balls you are oh so jealous we possess.”
