An open letter to the Blogging Tories' StephenTaylor.
Dear Stephen:
I realize that, in the past, we've had our differences, but let me give you some advice, and I mean this absolutely sincerely and in a spirit of real helpfulness: Get rid of this idiot from the Blogging Tories.
I am not joking.
While I dearly love the fact that virtually every member of the BTs is clinically insane or terminally moronic, Dr. Roy really takes it to a whole new level, and I'm guessing he's not quite who you want as a representative of thoughtful, nuanced, right-wing Canadian punditry.
So do yourself a favour, and cull the crazy people, and maybe -- just maybe -- some day, we can have an actual conversation, and discuss real issues and stuff like that there. But, seriously, you're going to have to do some house-cleaning first.
Really.

Intriguing.
So you'd like to dispute the fact that various socialists and other progressives, thinking in the very vein of utopian thought that carries so many of those ideas, both approved of and promoted eugenics?
I suppose there's nothing like a little historical revisionism to brighten your day. But here's an idea for you: let's see if you and Dr Roy can cut one another a deal.
Offer him the cessation of your constant harping on the various sex abuse scandals within the Catholic church against all Christians in return for Dr Roy not harping on the various progressives who dreamed up eugenics.
I'm not sure what you think you would accomplish by getting Stephen Taylor to banish Dr Roy from the Blogging Tories for something so simple as quoting Michael Coren stating historical fact.
Fortunately, on the flip side of things, there's no indication that Stephen Taylor even pays any attention to you. So I suppose there's always that.
You seem to be laboring under the sad delusion that Stephen Taylor has standards of some kind. Since when did insanity become an impediment to being a “Blogging Tory”? Heck, from the daily output of those folks, I had just assumed that it was a prerequisite.
Ironic that Coren, who wished nuclear genocide on the Iranians (and was obliged to apologise for it) is lambasting dead lefties for supporting eugenics.
He's a very stupid man.
*sniff*...Why am I smelling bacon fat, flop sweat and yeast in this thread?
Hey, since when was the Social Credit and Bible Bill Aberhart in Alberta "lefties"? I mean, it was the Alberta right who had Eugenics laws on the books there until 1971.
Ah Coren and Dr. Roy... true idiots that deserve each other.
Ti-guy, pungent isn't it?
Ah, so then let's just pretend that all the people who promoted the idea, like Tommy Douglas, Emily Murphy and Nellie McClung didn't support the idea.
Let's pretend that Nellie McClung didn't actually sit on the Alberta Eugenics Board.
Let's pretend that Emily Murphy didn't travel the province of Alberta promoting eugenics.
Let's pretend that Tommy Douglas didn't write a thesis on the societal benefits of eugenics.
(Let's not pretend that Coren didn't write the "Let's nuke Iran" column -- he did, and it was atrocious. But at least I'm honest enough to admit that.)
Which really brings us back around to the point. On the day, whenever I choose it to be, that I finally let you cretins off the hook for your stupidity, do you know what I'll remember?
I'll probably remember the dishonesty.
i'm not keen on the notion of eugenics, but i'm willing make an exception in twatrick's case....
who am i kidding?! i love eugenics!

Yay! What do I win?
A copy of "The Problems of the Subnormal Family" by the Reverend Thomas Clarence Douglas.
You got a mailing address I can send that to?
from the wikipedia entry on Tommy Douglas
His thesis entitled The Problems of the Subnormal Family was on eugenics, a way to "solve the problems of the Subnormal Family" by sterilizing mentally and physically disabled Canadians, and sending them to camps.[2] He briefly continued his graduate work at the University of Chicago but rejected this theory after his experiences of encountering the poor in Chicago and after a trip to Nazi Germany in 1938. He rarely mentioned his thesis later in his life, and his government never enacted eugenics policies (it may be noted that two Canadian provinces, Alberta and British Columbia, had eugenics legislation in the 1930s, and that the philosophy was not discredited in North America prior to World War II).
Good heavens! Someone who thinks about things. Someone who is capable of changing their mind.
Unlike a fool known for attempting to intimidate others, now trolling for home mailing addresses.
"You got a mailing address I can send that to?"
too lazy to walk upstairs and just hand it to mom?
KEvron
and he wasn't a Reverend when he wrote his thesis.
Perhaps we could comb through a few theses of BTs and/or CPoC members to see how they stand up under historical scrutiny.
You got a mailing address I can send that to?
Sure:

@lichtik
I'm still looking for a copy of Harper's U of C masters thesis if anyone has a copy.
And look who else is on the short bus with Dr. Roy...why it is none other than Adam Daifallah! Adam want you to know that he is a very serious person.
If memory serves, Patrick does condone the murder of abortion doctors. I could be wrong but, since Patrick refuses to address the issue with a simple yes/no answer, you have to assume he's hiding something.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he wants to see them murdered. That sort of thing doesn't normally go over well in a job interview, Twatrick.
I'm just sayin'.
I like it when Patrick accuses people of historical revisionism why engaging in historical revisionism...
It's quaint.
