Lets keep bringing the stories of people losing their jobs for supporting Prop 8 in California and the ugly Stasi judicial probe on the motives of Prop 8 and its organizing committees. |

Greg, Greg, Greg… it’s not about their tolerance, it’s about your tolerance. How many ways do I have to remind all you intolerant orthodox Anglicans? This is a one way street. Tolerance is not bi (directional). It’s fixed at birth. But then again some have this crazy notion that Christian counseling can produce a change. (Ephesians 2:-21) |

In the background of this video, you will see a clergyman wearing a collar. Being in California, I have seen this video numerous times and I keep wondering, “Did he do anything to help this poor woman? Did he see what was going on?” He must have since he was right there, but I don’t see him helping in the video. For some reason, that really bothers me. |

I too thank you, Greg, for shedding the light of day on some of these Stalinist tactics on the left. Americans need to know of the danger, before it is too late - for uncompromising and unpleasant minorities DO gain power, more often than they should, over democratic institutions. If this happens in America, here is one possible (and quite simple) scenario: A sudden push for universal (and automatic) voter registration, using federal data bases. That’s all. Complete lack of border control, identity-politics campaigning, and organized, well-funded (think ACORN) voter fraud will quickly do the rest. As it says just below your banner “Be on your guard. Stand firm in the faith.” |

It would be helpful, I think, if a very high-level leader, whose opinion was valued by the radical left, carefully pointed out that having a different opinion than me, or believing that I am wrong, is not the same as being hateful toward me or being racist toward people who believe as I do. The word for this is “tolerance” and it is at the core of of our civilization. Somehow the myth has been promulgated that holding a differing opinion from a “historically-marginalized” group is “being hateful” or “being racist.” Furthermore, the determination of which groups count as “historically-marginalized” is determined by media-blitz and whine-fests. Muslims think I am going to hell because I don’t swear allegience to Mohammed; Richard Dawkins thinks I’m an idiot because I am not an atheist; Vegans have declared that my lifestyle is unhealthy because I eat meat. Do these people hate me? Are they being racist towards me? No, they are expressing an opinion that is different from mine. Chill out, gay activists, and don’t require that everyone agrees with you. |

Michael D., #14, you have an interesting point: |
It certainly wouldn’t be the first time that happened, Matt: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/johann-hari/the-strange-strange-story_b_136697.html |

Next time someone proudly introduces themselves to your group as an “Activist” think about this mob. Do we really want to be governed by mob rule rather than by the democratic process? |

I saw people on one side of this debate trying to prevent people on the other side from being heard or seen on the media. That’s interfering with freedom of speech, at a minimum. Where the heck were the police? Where the heck were the so called “lawmakers”? This is becoming a “one way country”. I don’t like it. |

Dr. Joan, #15: “Gay activists seem to be the only group that cries out about hate crimes while other groups (such as those you’ve cited) for the most part simply express their differing opinions. And then it’s the gay activists who are the most physically abusive as they oppose my ideas!” Exactly. It has been my experience that the majority of those who choose to act on their homosexual impulses and live a homosexual life are quite narciccistic and feel everything that happens is about them in some way, even some of my very close friends who become extremely agitated when I point this out (but who don’t refute the point). Knowing that, your point should come as no surprise. They, along with much of our society, cannot separate action/behavior from “person”. Therefore, if you “hate” their behavior and actions, you “hate” them. I had a friend delete me from his Facebook friends list because, when his state of Maine did not pass the “let gays marry” bill and he accused those voting against of hating him personally, I asked him to explain to me how people voting their convictions or beliefs amounted to personal hate. He could not do so, unleashed an angry tirade at me (as did a lot of his other friends) and deleted me. Because, of course, it’s all about him. It’s quite sad, actually, that we have created a generation (maybe two) of people, both hetero- and homosexual, who have such an overblown sense of entitlement that they are unable to distinguish between such things as person and behavior AND they are willing to hand over any civil liberties they have on the unfounded, empty promise that government will take care of them and provide for their every need. How can we expect these people to have any pride in their country when the don’t even have pride in themselves? (getting off soapbox now) |

You know, I was thinking. This pro homosex mob appears so unruly. It just looks disordered. Bad public image. Maybe they should all wear similar outfits? Perhaps some nice shiny boots and something in brown for a top?
