The Liberal Commitment.....

[NYcarbineer]

....to tolerance, freedom of thought, and belief...



.....simply doesn't exist. I'll prove it,

A prime example of thought-crime police, patrolled and enforced by your Liberal government:

Yesterday:
"The Denver City Council is taking its time deciding whether Chick-fil-A, whose CEO is opposed to gay marriage, should be allowed to open a restaurant in the Denver airport." Denver puts Chick-fil-A's restaurant bid on back burner



What happens to those who dare to have an opinion that differs from that endorsed by Liberals/Progressives/Democrats?
Pay attention:


1. Once upon a time in America....actually, in the summer of 2012, a fast food CEO became embroiled in a battle because he had an opinion that ran counter to the Liberal viewpoint.

"In July 2012, [Dan] Cathy made headlines when he said "guilty as charged" in response to a question about whether the company was in"support of the traditional family.".... his views on same-sex marriage have not changed.

"I think the time of truths and principles are captured and codified in God’s word and I’m just personally committed to that,” he told the AJC [The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ].

“I know others feel very different from that and I respect their opinion and I hope that they would be respectful of mine.
[Get that? He's obviously not a Liberal.]
... I think that’s a political debate that’s going to rage on. And the wiser thing for us to do is to stay focused on customer service.”

... last June when the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, [he tweetied], "Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies."

2. Of course, Liberals responded with their version of 'the Liberal Commitment.....

....to tolerance, freedom of thought, and belief.....'

a. Salon called Cathy ' an unapologetic homophobe' Chick-fil-A: Antibiotic-free, but still pretty terrible - Salon.com

b. And the Village Voice wrote " homophobic chicken peddler/Chick-Fil-A CEO Dan Cathy." Chick-Fil-A Flap: Brooklyn Republican Invites Homophobic Chicken Peddler Dan Cathy To Open Restaurant

c. And Slate: " Racism persists, but at least racists have been formally politically defanged. Homophobes, meanwhile, have not." The Chick-fil-A Fried Chicken Fiasco Is a Harsh Reminder of the Hatred That Gays and Lesbians Face



3. And those bastions of Liberal indoctrination, the universities, showed their open-mindedness:

a. " Emory University dumps Chick-fil-A....." Emory University dumps Chick-fil-A


b. "Colleges Rally to Kick Chick-fil-A Off Campus" Colleges Rally To Kick Chick-fil-A Off Campus



Reminder to all: Chick-fil-A has never been accused of discriminating in any way against gay customers, or against any employees.

None. Not once.



Did I mention that 'The Liberal Commitment.....
....to tolerance, freedom of thought, and belief' .....doesn't exist.


Just wait...it gets better.

Her opening post is just another example of right wing hypocrisy and failure to recognize the "tolerance paradox".

Right wingers demand the right to be intolerant, to voice their bigotry, and to practice unlawful discrimination without adverse consequences.

Any opposition to right wing intolerance, bigotry, and discrimination is labeled as "liberal intolerance". Intolerance of right wing intolerance is not tolerated by right wingers. Whew. To right wingers, the only "rights" that matter are their perceived "rights".

For instance, Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel ... the person/organization that is defending County Clerk Kim Davis's "right" to discriminate during the course of her official duties as an agent for the State of Kentucky ... called for a boycott of Target and backed boycotts and pressure campaigns against McDonalds, Starbucks, Lowe’s, Pay Pal, and companies that say “Happy Holidays.” - See more at: For Conservatives, Boycotts Are Noble Efforts When They Support Them, Otherwise It's 'Economic Terrorism'

"Right wingers demand the right to be intolerant, blah blah blah..."

Clearly you share the views found in fascists, and totalitarians of all stripes.

Yes....everyone is entitled to any views at all.

At all.

It is only when they follow with actions that harm others.....not "offend others"....that they must be checked.

Reminder to all: Chick-fil-A has never been accused of discriminating in any way against gay customers, or against any employees.

None. Not once.




Reform yourself.

They gave money (see material support) to anti gay groups.

Let me put it to you in a way you might be able to grasp...

Imagine that you found out Breitbart or Drudge gave money to pro choice or environmental protection groups...

Anti Planned Parenthood boycotts:

New boycott targets include Mesa Air Group and Trinity Investments, but the main portion of the boycott list is dedicated to corporations that LDI has been targeting for their Planned Parenthood donations for some time.

"Some of the companies that occupy a continued place on the LDI [Life Decisions International] boycott list include: Adobe, AOL, Bank of America, Bayer, Chevron, Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, etc.), eBay (PayPal, etc.), Laureate Education, Midas, Nationwide (insurance), Nike, Select Comfort (Sleep Number bed), Southwest Airlines (Jet Blue, etc.), Starwood Hotels (Aloft, Element, Four Points, Le Méridien, Sheraton, St. Regis, W, Westin, etc.), Symantec, Wells Fargo, and Whole Foods.

In my view, as I am not a fascist, everyone is entitled to any view they choose.

Any.
The use of their money is an extension of their speech....as the courts have found.

Thoughts and speech are not to be punished by government.

Perhaps one take you'll recognize that your view is the same found in communist, socialist, Nazi, Progressive, etc, governments.

It's the old 'you vill learn to obey orders!'

 

[PoliticalChic]

Start a thread on that and I'll respond.

This thread is about the blatant intolerance of the Left, which used to stand for freedom of thought, openness and curiosity before it was taken over by the PC Police.
.

It would be thoroughly dishonorable for the 'left' or anyone else for that matter to be tolerant of bigotry.

How about their OWN bigotry?

Oh, that's right, they're not bigots.


.

Newsflash! It's actually okay to be intolerant of intolerance. It's how you stop it. We decided, as a society, that it's not okay to use the N word as an epithet. We became intolerant of its common use. That's good.

The Left has become intolerant of anyone who disagrees with them on anything.

And that really is a shame.
.

Manifested how?

Clearly explained in this thread.

Mac, I have had people on this board say that I should be shot because they disagreed with my politics. I have seen others threatened, directly or indirectly, in the same manner. And that kind of post has been on the right. Yes, there are people here that carry the PC business to silliness, both on the right and the left. But the hope for a violent civil war, the extreme bigotry, is almost all on the part of the right.

I see plenty of bigotry on both ends of the political spectrum.

Seems to me each should clean their OWN houses before attacking the other.
.

Yes, sure.

To you, conservative bigotry, for example, is racism.

Liberal bigotry is when liberals won't tolerate conservative racism.

"Liberal bigotry is when liberals won't tolerate conservative racism."

This is a classic!

In truth....I never imagined you be dumb enough to write this.

You're not really inferring that liberals are not intolerant, are you?

In my world, hardcore liberals are as bigoted as hardcore conservatives. They are just as intolerant - not just of intolerance, but of differing opinions, as anyone else.

I know you're not going to agree, so I'm not going to keep playing Whack-A-Mole. Bigotry, as described by Dictionary.com:

bigotry

[big-uh-tree]

noun, plural bigotries.
1.
stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
2.
the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot.

Just wait...it gets better.

Why is it that you feel the need to constantly create threads hilariously attempting to support an idiotic assertion. You claim liberals don't support tolerance, which makes little sense to me, since social liberalism and the left wing pioneered civil rights/lgbt rights, while conservatives fought against these things. Then again, we have social liberals/fiscal conservatives and social conservatives/fiscal, well, you get the picture. My posts may reflect myself portraying these stereotypes, but it's because of the nature of this forum, truly, I doubt any of us think all liberals or all conservatives are against particular things we want to frame them as being against. Freedom of thought? Please, elaborate on how liberals, those who support lgbt rights, civil rights, want to restrict freedom of thought. You will need to back up your continual assertions that modern american liberals want to literally restrict freedom of thought, and are intolerant. If we get to cherry pick examples of private businesses being bigots and being told to stop, I can just as well make a case that all conservatives are war hawks, but that's dishonest, I know some conservatives who are pro choice and want to cut the military, and I'm sure you know all liberals aren't the same. OK, your using a hilarious example to try to make a point, a Denver city council that has NOT YET DECIDED are now representative of all liberals and are somehow bigots when discussing the denver airport, just fucking hysterical, want me to show you the never ending list of bigoted right wingers and try to frame a ridiculous portrayal of an entire political spectrum? Sure, this forum makes us all guilty of being partisan hacks when we get heated, but threads like this where the OP actually believes what she is posting concern me. You start with an assertion and have no plans in recognizing others points, in fact, you will more then likely respond by calling me a brainwashed liberal, since I go to college, which really is funny. You're referencing ONE example about chick-fil-a, where the CEO is clearly not to bright.. "The day after the Supreme Court of the United States struck down Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act, Cathy tweeted, "Sad day for our nation; founding fathers would be ashamed of our gen. to abandon wisdom of the ages re: cornerstone of strong societies." The tweet was subsequently deleted, but was archived by Topsy.[27][28]" Then again, where was chick fil actually kicked out? Your nonsense drives me crazy.

 

[PaintMyHouse]

My values include free speech and freedom of thought.

And your problem with those values?

Don't have one, we invented them.

And very good Chick-Fil-A liberalism today.

Note carefully the bullying behavior of this Liberal, Smith...and see how it mirrors Liberals/Progressive/Democrat governance.



6. "As Smith nastily condescended to Rachel [Elizabeth], she was kind. "It's my pleasure to serve you always," she said. Rachel told Smith that she was uncomfortable with being taped, but he didn't stop. Despite his disrespect, she remained respectful, saying ""It's my pleasure to serve you always."


As Smith departed she said "I hope you have a really nice day."




Mr. Tolerance was so pleased with himself that he posted a video of a woman saying she didn't want to be recorded on YouTube.

You're kidding, right? Every time the left's delicate feelings get hurt they scream for a boycott.

The difference between the left-wing vs. right-wing dichotomy on the issue of tolerance is that the left-wing is "right" and the right-wing is "wrong".

The left-wing is intolerant of right-wing hate and bigotry and unlawful discrimination. The right-wing is intolerant of left-wing intolerance for right-wing intolerance. Got that?

Many of your posts have been stupid, or incoherent.....

This one shows an abject lack of understanding of both 'tolerance' and of the Left.

They punish any who think differently.

To show how utterly ignorant you are, let's see you mumble through this: Barack Obama had publicly professed the exact same views and values as Dan Cathy a mere two months earlier.


If you had a knowledge of history, you'd have seen the same turnaround by your predecessors, the communists, who were pacifists until June 22, 1941, when Hitler attacked Stalin.

Lefts were with Obama's defense of marriage until he suddenly wasn't.

Liberals, although the individual must be in balance with the society. Moderation, in all things eh?

And Libertarians are the selfish children who care fuck all about society, not liberals.

Lefts were with Obama's defense of marriage until he suddenly wasn't.

Nope. And his belief in the Christian God is BS as well. He's just a man, he can be wrong about things, and he is.

Nazis PC (and Donald Trump) would approve of:

"The Nazi rationale was heavily invested in the militarist belief that great nations grow from military power, which in turn grows "naturally" from "rational, civilized cultures."

"According to Nazism, it is an obvious mistake to permit or encourage multilingualism and multiculturalism within a nation."

"Many placed the blame for Germany's misfortunes on those whom they perceived, in one way or another, to have sabotaged the goal of national victory. Jews and communists became the ideal scapegoats for Germans deeply invested in a German Nationalist ideology."

"A "master race" could therefore, according to the Nazi doctrine, easily strengthen itself by eliminating "parasitic races" from its homeland."

One more Lock-Step Totalitarian...er, Liberal.

I'm for letting the good people of the great city of Denver govern their city as they choose, within the limits of their power as a local government.

Why aren't you? Somehow that makes you the totalitarian doesn't it?

What they do in Denver directly effects her life in Brooklyn.

That's because I'm an American, with the values that Americans should have.

You're excused from both.

That would be known as an opinion. If your values are the values that Americans should have, no wonder the country is going down the drain.

My values include free speech and freedom of thought.

And your problem with those values?

They are the values of the free world, you are hardly unique, just ignorant of the ways of the world. I was smart enough to move to a country where i fell freer than I do in the United States.
