Doug Saunders, a leftist international-affairs columnist for Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail, attacked the many people on Twitter who were calling for prayers for the citizens of Paris in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the French capital on Friday evening: "'Pray for Paris' seems a cruel slogan to direct at a country whose very existence is a mass secular revolt against religious authority."

Several Twitter users — including this writer — challenged Saunders for his anti-religious post. The writer replied by placing the blame for the mass murder on all religion in general, and twice contended that those who were asking for prayers were being "selfish:"

At some point those who have influence, who interfere with people protecting themselves, must be taken out.

Hey Saunders, from a fellow Canadian, go blow that out from you know where.

Saunders apparently doesn’t know that Napoleon came to power precisely because the French rejected the “secular” vision of the Jacobin terrorists. The current secularization of France is just France following the zeitgeist of the 20th Century.

The left is definitely, finally, at last spinning off its axis.

I’ll second that emotion. Here’s a MacLean and MacLean finger in this “columnist’s” general direction.

The Toronto Grope and Flail is a socialist rag that tries to masquerade as being pro-business. It also tries to masquerade as 'Canada's newspaper', like the NYT. If I had birds instead of dogs, I might purchase it occasionally.

Such an idiot, with the shallowest notion of French history. He never read Chateaubriand, for example, or thinks the history of France ends at Waterloo.

Existential Cage Theory.

Problem solved.

Get a cage
Put the liberal in the cage
Weld the door shut
Walk away

Optional: Pretend it’s a reverse zoo and throw feces at the liberal.

You’re pretty powerless when you back away from a real God with real, individual blessing promises, and indulge in a pretend game of vengeance that causes nothing to happen except to annoy your closest allies as your response to troubles in the world.

France did exist before its revolution, you ninny. Not in its present government, of course, but France was a Catholic country.

How about we cage the liberals and air drop them over the headchoppers?

Next up: feminists will be blaming “men” for the thing. Everybody has a dead horse to flog.

...and taking a lot of innocent souls along with them.

God protect us from this.

I’m afraid that might violate the Geneva Convention.

At some point those who have influence, who interfere with people protecting themselves, must be taken out.

Especially the occupation media.
