At some point, are you gonna realize that your blogger, who claims 45k government and 5k civilians killed by rebels is an anti-Assad blog and likely vastly overestimating the number of military kills. Will you also understand that while 10-20% (perhaps) of rebel caused deaths are civilians, the vast majority of Assad's kills are civilians.
Given the bias of the source, the rebels are probably responsible for ~30k military killed and 5-10k civilians. That leaves Assad with ~80k kills, mostly civilian. You cannot compare the civilian impact of the rebels and Assad.
Other estimates range from 83,175 to 106,425. All of the totals include civilians, rebels, and security forces. Foreign civilians and fighters from both sides who have died are not included in the following figures:
Syrian Network for Human Rights 83,598 killed[16] 15 March 2011 – 29 May 2013
Next Century Foundation 75,816 killed[17] 1 June 2012 – 30 June 2013
United Nations 100,000 killed[4] 15 March 2011 – 24 July 2013
Syrian Observatory for Human Rights 106,423 killed[3] 15 March 2011 – 9 August 2013
Center for Documentation of Violations 83,175 killed[1][2] 15 March 2011 – 30 August 2013 .....<<<<<
these are all links to sites you can confirm numbers on the dead with.
Al Jazeera journalist Nir Rosen reported that many of the deaths reported daily by activists are in fact armed insurgents falsely presented as civilian deaths, but confirmed that real civilian deaths do occur on a regular basis.[18] A number of Middle East political analysts, including those from the Lebanese Al Akhbar newspaper, have also urged caution.
This was later confirmed when in late May 2012, Rami Abdulrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is one of the opposition-affiliated groups counting the number of those killed in the uprising, stated that civilians who had taken up arms during the conflict were being counted under the category of "civilians".[22][23][24]
In May 2013, SOHR stated that at least 41,000 of those killed during the conflict were Alawites.[25]
The Next Century Foundation offer an alternative analysis of casualty figures. Their calculations are made by using figures from the Center for Documentation of Violations in Syria (VDC), Syrian Shuhada (Syrian Martyrs), Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Local Coordination Committees of Syria (LCC) and Damascus Centre for Human Rights from June 2012 to the present. Figures for civilian, rebel and government casualties are calculated separately and added together for an overall total.

Opposition forces
Due to the opposition's policy of counting rebel fighters that were not defectors as civilians[22][23][24][46] a comprehensive number of rebels killed in the conflict, thus far, has not been ascertained. In late November 2012, the opposition activist group SOHR estimated that at least 10,000 rebels had been killed, but noted the possibility of the figure being higher because the rebels, like the government, were lying about how many of their forces had died to make it look like they were winning.[47] In March 2013, SOHR stated that the actual number of killed rebels and government forces could be double the number they were already able to document.[48]
The following tables provide examples of news reports which identify rebel casualties. The first table shows reports of rebel deaths for the period up to 9 August 2013, and those not included in SOHR's daily death tolls before and after 9 August 2013. The second table shows day-by-day reports of rebel deaths by SOHR after 9 August 2013.
Lebanese Hezbollah 171[3]–178[26] killed.....snip~
