By way of lead-in, once upon a time, way back when, it was those nasty leftards who were adamant that the original invasion of Iraq was a bad idea. Don't do it, we said. It's going to turn out badly, we said. And yet, it happened.
A couple years later, many of those same leftards were realistic enough to take the position that, given how those invading forces had turned Iraq into a total clusterfuck, it was now the responsibility of those invading forces to try to fix everything they'd busted. In short, you broke it, now you should fix it. We didn't want the U.S. military in there but, now that they were and given the mess they'd created, they had a moral responsibility to do something about it.
The reaction from the Right-o-sphere was predictable, along the lines of, "Man, you leftards just can't make up your minds, can you? First, you don't want us to invade. Now you don't want us to leave. You're never happy, are you? Always changing your minds, flip-flopping and everything. Ha ha! Stupid leftards!"
Ignore, of course, the utterly changed context of those two positions, which is what the Canadian Dumbshit-o-sphere insists on doing these days with respect to Brenda Martin. And when it comes to dumbshits, well, there's really only one place to go, isn't there?
You screamed bloody murder that Stephen Harper wasn't doing enough to help, you splattered every Conservative minister within spitting distance of your tantrums, you bawled and threatened and cajoled, and now that someone is making a personal effort to help - you transform Brenda Martin's cause into a political stink bomb.
Yeah, like, what the fuck? First, you yell for help. And then, when help is provided, you turn into a bunch of whiny, ungrateful hacks. Ignore, of course, the context, where Jason Kenney and Rick Norlock made it clear that, on their trip to Mexico, they had no intention of asking for Martin's release. And further ignore that Norlock is already on record as believing that Martin belongs in prison.
Gosh, why on earth might people concerned about Martin think this is a worthless, photo op? It's purely a mystery, isn't it? Go figure.
