But, that's exactly what some are trying to do. Instead of letting others mind their own business, they're petitioning the government to disallow consenting adults to wed, as if it affects their own lives at all. This "demonized by the left" business is getting old in every other post here. It's clear to any freethinking individual that people on both sides with extreme and unchanging views of the world will go to great lengths to discredit and name call, and that goes on on BOTH sides of any issue in our country right now.

People have been yelling at each other from opposite sides of the fence on every issue since humans developed vocal chords.
Fascism is a system that does not have any opposition..It is a one party system. It was the extreme right...Sometimes what takes place with the aggressive left is that they slowly get so extreme and more left...that they eventually pop out the other side of the spectrum...and become the new extreme right--Fascists..If you hate long enough you become what you hate.

So things have changed in the world...what was evil is now sometimes good- what is left is now right...what is lacking in logic and intelligence is now called brilliant.

There is an after effect to polarization. It's as if the north pole and the south pole have passed through each other and are now reversed....during the process of the shift- half way through good and evil combined to create a grey mix.......and it is still trying to sort it self out.....hope fully things will adjust and re-polarize.

The principles of fascism have prominent far-right themes. So lets not delude ourselves that the further left one moves they pop out the other side and become the new extreme right or vice versa. First of all, a spectrum can continue infinitely, so the further left you go the further left you become. The further right you go the further right you become. It's not a circle where you can loop back around to a degree. Anyway I don't care to argue about left/right.

I believe that they would advocate violence if necessary to silence those of us that are "hateful bigots; that is fascism. To bury your head in the sand and not see what's going on in this country is naive at best.
I've never asked anyone to be quiet. In fact, I've asked you to respond to points made on this very thread.

I feel flattered in a way. I have the ability to "destroy" you?

I don't want to convert you. If you feel diminished or demeaned, check the mirror and ask why. You can't impose your religious beliefs onto others through denying them the same rights you have. The Supreme Court will undoubtedly make that the law soon.

I've certainly never advocated violence. A love-in? Sure. Violence? You are being ridiculous.

I do think that anyone who wants to convert gays, put them in jail, blame them for the downfall of society, or flat out have them killed is, indeed, a hateful bigot. Dan Cathy advocates those things. Ergo, he's a hateful bigot.

I really think you should turn off your radio, too.

Really? With that screenname and incredibly sensitive nature I was sure the poster was a woman.

Art wants us to act, think and vote like him, or he will call us nasty names and try to destroy us. Folks, this is the type of fascism that we MUST stand up against, and that's what CFA Appreciation Day was all about.
The hateful bigots are the ones who want to deny other people the rights they enjoy, because the others are different than they are.

And taking that position makes me fascist how? Do you know what that word means?

Going to Chick-fil-A was a stand against fascism?

There's a ton of WWII vets rolling in their graves on that one.
