You make a series of accusations and assumptions about me which rely on nothing more than your opinion which I don’t much care for. I have never said anything remotely like “Stalin was a benevolent dictator” I have always said that our information about him comes almost exclusively from the west who have a clear interest in demonising him. I regard anyone who buys the CIA inspired claptrap that is said and written about him and indeed many other enemies of the capitalist west as being either gullible or lacking in intellectual rigour. <br /><br />As for the snp, they have a past record of supporting Hitler, they are cosy with the American white supremacists and have just joined the Flemish Fascists in their Edinburgh demo, their uncrowned queen Winnie Ewing was happy and content to sit with General Franco’s Spanish Falangist group during her time in the European Parliament. Add in the endemic anti English/Irish racism and the anti catholic sectarianism and you have the snp in all their ugliness. I think I have got you spot on. I base these opinions on approximately 50 years of dealing with the snp. <br />Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-53868094615299985372013-10-22T18:11:28.510+00:002013-10-22T18:11:28.510+00:00But I'm not a Nazi. And it's clear that y...But I'm not a Nazi. And it's clear that your beliefs are more than important to you: your entire identity and sense of yourself is tied up in that phrase under your photo-"I am a socialist". Nothing wrong with that, but identifying yourself as any kind of -ist when you're not prepared to question the validity of your beliefs-and I could be wrong, but I doubt that you ever have-puts you in the position where your opinions and beliefs are without any intellectual foundation, and turns them into blind faith. For example, your repeated refusal to admit that Stalin was anything other than a benevolent dictator is symptomatic of a pathological denial of reality: your apparently constant, and defensive, state of fury at the SNP is just the emotional consequence of the fact that you know what you believe-but deep down you don't know why.<br />There. I hope that helps to begin the process of resolving your deep-seated problems. No need to thank me, Councillor.

So you think Bell and Macwhirter write very well, there is not much hope for you in that case. “Why do you get so angry when a journalist disagrees with you?” I get angry because my beliefs are important to me and so is politics, you sound as if you might not understand that, you are snp right? As long as I can kick the arses of toy town Nazis like you I will not need therapy. <br />Cllr Terry Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285923851619030726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35177951.post-49578685922231806502013-10-21T17:12:37.104+00:002013-10-21T17:12:37.104+00:00I'm a catholic, a republican and a member of t...I'm a catholic, a republican and a member of the SNP. Am I a traitor?<br /><br />Anyway. Apart from the political differences, Bell and MacWhirter write well whereas you don't: you found a set of beliefs as a young man to which you've clung with no curiosity or scepticism-the latter, as I'm sure you know, was defined by Hume as a key characteristic of intelligence. Why do you get so angry when a journalist disagrees with you? Is it because deep down you know that you don't have the intelligence to defend your faith in Britishness and that model of class structure that's been your ideological anchor? I think you should consider therapy. You might be a better and happier person at the end of it.
