Rick Mercer’s pro-oil rant coming under fire

You have no idea what you are talking about

I am a bleeding heart leftist... And I believe that:

  • There are too many gun laws that affect mostly the responsible gun owners.

  • Immigration to Canada should be harder and that multiculturalism has gone too far.

  • That political correctness has become a mental disease.

  • That ultra-feminist militants should just admit they hate men and would like to see them all dead instead of wasting everyone's time protesting and screaming insanities at anyone who dares speak about men's issues.

  • That Islam is a dangerous ideology that can only be compatible with modern life if you disregard 90% of its teachings.

But I also believe that

  • Corporations would burn down this world if they could be the kings of the ashes.

  • That government has an important role to play in the economy

  • That regulations keep us and our world safe and that deregulation only serve to enrich the super rich.

  • That men and women are absolutely equals and should enjoy the same opportunities as men.

  • That abortion should be a right for women since anyone should have the right to control their body.

  • That Jesus freak should keep their ideologies private and not try to impose it on the rest of the people.

  • That oil is going to kill this planet and that the only good oil is the one that remains below ground.

  • That a carbon tax is a good idea that can foster innovation and the birth of new technologies.

  • That Conservative people are people who are looking for easy answers to complicated questions.

  • That the Constitution is the single most important document in the country.

  • That individual rights should be paramount as long as they are not used to reduce the freedom of others.

  • That socialism is the best system to organise a society and to promote equal opportunities for the largest number of us.

.... I'll stop here.... You get the idea...

Leftists are free thinkers, they vary extensively in their opinions and trying to put them all in the same bag only shows that you have no clue what a free thinker is.
