Not quite a "Hemisphere First Defence Policy"

How this flapdoodle from MND MacKay produces over 100 comments at the Globe and Mail beats the hell out of me. Maybe some people are just, er, programmed. Channeled. Whatever.

West Coast Not West from Canada writes: The problem with this is that we do not know what kind of weapons to defend against when the Martians come and attack us. The fact that they are coming for us is a sure thing, because, you know, they hate our freedom and democracy and stuff. Not to worry though, the Leader will protect us if only we give him unquestioning power.

And the comments are "semi-moderated". What, pray tell (other than pure profanity), might be excluded? Canada's "National Cesspit", I say.
