Speech police liberals also use (torture) words to make their ideology more acceptable.
Obamacare, remember when they tried to hide the fact it was a tax?
Liberal Democrats understand that most Americans are against illegal aliens because they have broken the law by entering the country illegally. Democrats need the 11 million illegals to vote in the elections. In order to make them more acceptable to the American public, they coined the term ‘undocumented immigrants.’ Gee, that doesn’t sound nearly as bad does it? It makes them sound more acceptable and their crime less offensive.
If they used the term ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism,’ millions of Americans would be outraged and fight against whatever it is the liberals are trying to do. So they coined the politically correct term ‘social justice’ to make it sound acceptable and something that most people would buy right into.
Well, I vote Democrat, so I don't think this has anything to do with that.
One thing we should be learning from this thread is that sweeping generalizations are unfair, no matter which side they're coming from.
LOL, unfair generalizations? Really? But the Liberal speech police deemed it acceptable to call the right and the tea party terrorist yet their leader won't even call Islamic terrorist, terrorist.
The liberal speech police deemed it ok to march and yell "what do we want? dead cops. When do we want it? Now" Yet don't ever speak about the black culture, black on black murders, people on welfare, making babies they can't afford and dead beat dads, never speak about the hood culture, oh you get all bunched up.
It is what it is even if you won't acknowledge it and try to silence people from saying it.
I agree. But hating gays and disapproving of homosexual activity are two completely different things. Saying "I do not think homosexual intercourse is natural" is not the same thing as saying "all f--- need to die".
Furthermore, why is it that you so readily recognize intolerance towards gays but don't recognize the intolerance towards people who have a certain faith?
Bigotry is not ambiguous. You either dislike people's ideals, background, faiths, etc., OR, you don't.
I'm not sure what's tripping you up?
I don't deny that I have bigoted tendencies towards Islam. WHY? Because I see them to be a tremendous threat to society as a whole with their DAILY terrorist activity, what they believe and how they justify their brutality - day after day after day. They murder, they torture, they rape, they enslave, they mutilate - all in the name of someone they worship. A tremendous # of them vow to destroy western civilization.
So you see, not exactly the same as 2 women making out. They have no impact on me or my life in general. But when someone wants to kill me, change my way of life, and threatens to do so if I don't do as they say, that deserves absolute prejudice.
I think what no one wants to admit is that the LGBT community is getting special treatment in these types of cases, and nowadays, if you happen to disagree with homosexual activity for your own personal reasons, your well being is in jeopardy.
"Disagree with homosexual activity"?
You mean 'disagreeing' that gay and lesbian people should even be 'allowed' to exist and have loving committed relationships?
No, he wrote a book AND handed it out at work to employees. THAT is where he crossed the line. Write a book, great. Sell your book, fine. Bring it to the workplace and hand it out? Over the line.
He handed out a free book that he wrote? Seems like he was just proud of his work to me.
Now if he forced subordinates to buy his book, or forced people to take the book against their will while speaking disparaging of lesbians and gays, then you'd have something to whine about. I'm sure his book was more tham just a single page presenting his views on what the bible considers sinful behaviors.
Do you think obama ever gave someone a copy of his book while he was a senator or president?
Apparently, if you write a book, and within the pages you speak disparaging of anyone, anyone at all, then you need to be fired.
There are plenty of books where somewhere in those pages the authors might say disparaging things about other people, whether it's a liberal demonizing Republicans, an atheist demonizing religions, or another lib demonizing the citizens of the USA. Do we fire all those people too? Or do we fire them if the make a post we disagree with on their Facebook account?
You mean 'disagreeing' that gay and lesbian people should even be 'allowed' to exist and have loving committed relationships?
Because that's what it really comes down to.
No, what it comes down to, is if I say I don't like or despise the gay lifestyle I'm to be savaged and hounded out of existence. However, if I say I hate Republicans, then that's okay.
Republicans make up about half the country, and gays make up about four percent. So it's okay to publicly state that I hate half the people in the country? But not okay if I think the lifestyle choice for four percent of the country is sinful and reprehensible.
He handed out a free book that he wrote? Seems like he was just proud of his work to me.
Now if he forced subordinates to buy his book, or forced people to take the book against their will while speaking disparaging of lesbians and gays, then you'd have something to whine about. I'm sure his book was more tham just a single page presenting his views on what the bible considers sinful behaviors.
He should have handed it out at his church or at a BBQ in his home, or on the street, because the issue seems to be that the people that he works with that he gave the book to took offense to what he wrote and handed out at work.
