Does political correcteness weaken the fabric of a nation?

@giujohn,
When I see your post about meanings of Muslim terms it is listed as NSFW, Not Safe For Work. It makes the post so it can't be seen without clicking on the post.

@Baldimo,
OK then...news to me. Guess some moderator has an undisclosed axe to grind??

Now that Im paying attention most of the NSFW I see are for those threads that have a sexual content... not sure why my post is noted this way. When I view it I dont see this notation.

The New Intolerance: We Are Now Required To Embrace Just About Everything, Except the Gutter Religion Christianity

Quote:

Pardon the "attack" on Christianity in the headline -- but I think that sums up the venomous beliefs of the bullies.

There is no principle here. The zealots are not claiming that we must be tolerant towards all -- that is a principle most could agree with.

No, they are instead claiming we must embrace the things they love, and hate -- and persecute -- the things they hate.

This is not "tolerance." This is, at best, simply the replacement of one set of bigotries and hatreds with the
left's favored set of bigotries and hatreds.

How can anyone not see the rank hypocrisy of the left?
Quote:
And if that's the new game in town -- I have a lot of things I wish to force liberals to agree to. Such as the fact that Obama is, in fact, a leftwing socialist who despises America in his core.

This is not about serving gays, this is about acceding to gays' (and non-gay Gay Enthusiasts') demeans that those who dissent with gay weddings nevertheless be forced to endorse them.

And that is unamerican -- or, perhaps I should start learning finally, all too American, at least post-Obama American.

The paradox is that even as America has become more tolerant of gays, many activists and liberals have become ever-more intolerant of anyone who might hold more traditional cultural or religious views. Thus a CEO was run out of Mozilla after it turned out that he had donated money to a California referendum opposing same-sex marriage.

Part of the new liberal intolerance is rooted in the identity politics that dominates today’s Democratic Party. That’s the only way to explain the born-again opportunism of Hillary Clinton, who tweeted: "Sad this new Indiana law can happen in America today. We shouldn’t discriminate against ppl bc of who they love."

By that standard, Mrs. Clinton discriminated against gays because she opposed gay marriage until March 2013. But now she wants to be seen as leading the new culture war against the intolerant right whose views she recently held.

Easy!

There are actually people (probably just a few) who cannot see the absurdity of most of your posts, cj.

It just happens.

@coldjoint,
Wow, is that twisted! So joint's idiot poster contends opposing intolerance is intolerant. What a maroon. Change the target, and that argument sounds a lot like the ones segregationists used fifty years ago to justify dragging black students off to jail for trying to eat at a whites-only lunch counter. Go back a hundred and fifty years and it's eerily similar to the religious arguments preachers used to justify slavery.

But, hey, that's joint, espousing unAmerican values every time he opens his mouth (or touches a keyboard).

And, might I add, 63% of Americans support same-sex marriage now. That's not "acceding to homosexuals" or "non-gay Gay enthusiasts" in joint's idiot poster's language, that's mainstream majority Americans supporting it because it's the right American thing to do.

Hey, get with it, joint. This is the 21st century now. It's not your pro-slavery great-great-great-grandfathers' America anymore.
Thank the gods.

In 2006, when the MA Supreme Judicial Court decided that the MA Constitution gave gays the right to get married just like straights, we thought about it, thought, ""Yeah, that makes sense" and got on with our lives, no muss, no fuss, and our gay brothers and sisters got married, and we were fine with it, and in the next elections, we voted out of office all those loudmouth politicians who fulminated agains the court's decision. Was that "intolerance" or was that democracy? In the immediate aftermath of the decision, the Boston Globe polled MA residents, and nearly 70% agreed with the court (it's even higher now). It's nice the rest of the country is finally catching up to us. When are you planning to rejoin America, joint?

The gays are very intolerant. People have the right to associate with who they wish. Gays have 0 rights to shove their lifestyle down peoples throats.

They should save that activity for their butt buddies.

And you just see victim. They don't need a reason. Just them saying so loudly works for you.

But the left has rewritten the concept of freedom to mean "whatever the government allows you to do," and leftists now insist that government cannot allow discrimination -- unless, of course, the government is itself enforcing discrimination against religious Christians who don't want to violate their belief in traditional marriage.

Same-sex marriage, it turns out, was never designed to grant legal benefits to same-sex couples. That could have been done under a regime of civil unions. Same-sex marriage was always designed to allow the government to have the power to cram down punishment on anyone who disobeys the government's vision of the public good. One need not be an advocate of discrimination against gays to believe that government does not have the ability to enforce the prevailing social standards of the time in violation of individual rights. There are many situations in which advocates of freedom dislike particular exercises of that freedom but understand that government attacks on individual rights are far more threatening to the public good.[/b]

All I have in mind is to keep you talking as much as possible, cj. I want you to be the voice for the American fringe right.

You personify it in all its glory.

Palin is no more batshit crazy than Killary is a fraud and a crook. And I don't think individual rights are just the fringes concerns.

The American Family Association has noted the following four cases in states without a religious freedom law involving Christian business owners being prosecuted, fined or punished for refusing to bow to homosexual demands:

Washington: Florist Barronelle Stutzman was fined by the state for not providing flowers for a homosexual wedding.

New Mexico: Photographer Elaine Huguenin was ordered by the state to give a lesbian $7,000 for declining to take pictures of a lesbian wedding.

Oregon: Aaron and Melissa Klein were fined $150,000 by the state for refusal to bake a cake for a lesbian wedding.

Kentucky: Blaine Adamson was ordered by the city of Lexington to undergo “sensitivity training’ for refusing to print T-shirts for a gay pride festival.

Alliance Defending Freedom, a legal group involved in several of these cases, says there are three key issues at stake:

Whether the government can force Americans in expressive professions to communicate messages and ideas against their will

The freedom of Americans to live and do business according to the teachings of their faith and the dictates of their conscience

Whether Americans should be forced to compromise freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution

The case of the florist in Richland, Washington, Barronelle Stutzman, owner of Arlene’s Flowers, illustrates the stakes. She is being sued by the Attorney General because she declined to decorate for a same-sex ceremony and may be forced into financial bankruptcy.


Tell me why do Muslims get to wear bags on their heads at work. And not handle pork or alcohol? If you want to oppress Christians, finish the ******* job.

Typical of the liberal left. There is no room for a different opinion, let alone the truth of the matter.

Keep defending the sanity of the far right, cj.

You do more damage than the liberals opposing you...which delights me.

Oh, it is true.

And what is the reasoning to back up, "If that were true, you wouldn't have to keep saying it?"

What kind of reasoning gets you to that bizarre conclusion?

In base 10, 2 + 2 = 4. (Ever hear that!)

Fact is...it is something said frequently.

And it is true.

The truth of an assertion is not in any way dependent or conditional on whether it is said often or not.

Getting frustrated...aren't ya?
