Local Liberal blogger takes me to task- I feel honored really

Last week, at the request of radio host Bryan Suits, I posted a plea to help an Iraqi translator gain a work Visa to come to America.  I had no idea that a simple request for help, a situation where I gain nothing, would generate a cynical post deriding my values and motivations.

The blog, EFFin’ Unsound, is basically a liberal blog designed to watch and report on Sound Politics and Evergreen Freedom Foundation.  The author also notes that many smaller blogs are also unsound, so that must mean me.

I feel honored to join such distinguished company.

You can read Mr Ballard's (not his real name) dissection of my post here.  I will post his comments and respond here.

Many local  rightie bloggers are upset about what’s happening to Iraqi translator/ friend of a semi-well known radio host, Alaa. And I sympathize.

Your compassion is underwhelming.

"The decision to have children should be seen as a very big one and one that should take the environment into account," he added.

As well, Sea Shepherd founder and president Paul Watson published an editorial a couple of days ago in which he makes clear his view that mankind is a "virus" and that there are around 5.5 billion too many already on the planet.  Curiously, his offer to leave first has apparently been omitted.
