Spirited reader BB sends me this:
I would say as "uncivil" as you not posting comments and or delaying them so as to be inconsequential. Being labeled as only a "petite" fascist is perhaps an understatement if anything.
So let me get this straight: David Newquist thinks I'm a "petit-fascist" because I think Tim Johnson should not have run for reelection. BB thinks I am something more of a fascist because I do not always post his comments fast enough to please him. Boy you guys set the bar low!
As for the comments, they have to be policed. I get very few uncivil messages, and BB's are certainly not a problem. The problem is spam. Unfortunately, the software that Keloland provides for us bloggers makes it very tedious and time-consuming to find the few comments that are not spam, and release them. I am sorry if BB gets impatient, but I make no promises on this score. I have tried very hard to release his comments as soon as they come in, but when they come in at the same time as a load of spam, it can be hard to notice them at all.
As for the rest of BB's comment:
Your sycophantic support of an administration that regards the constitution as "quaint" and which has done more to impinge upon the rights of man (to the aggrandizement of the ultra wealthy)is reprehensible. The damage that has been done by "W" is a true blot on our nations history. America is great because America is good. When America stops being good it will cease to be great. Cicero would be no fan of Bush: "The budget should be balanced. Public debt should be reduced. The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered, and assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt." When did you give up on the constitution and the rule of law Ken? As a PhD in PS could you inform as to what is wrong with democracy in America?
BB is saying here that I am a fascist because I disagree with him about George W. I defy BB to show me one place where my support of Bush has been "sycophantic." I spend more time defending Bush when I think he is right because I figure that I will do a better job of that than BB, or David, or Todd, or Cory. They are better fit to take him to task than I am. I have never called anyone a fascist or a Stalinist or anything of the sort for disagreeing with me on such issues.
