You will conform to our political ideology. Dissent will be punished. You have no choice because we know it is for your own good.
It sounds like a Stalinist state.
Personally, I’d sue the ass off them for violating my civil rights of free expression and association.
And the liberals claim their tolerant? Well, it is nice to see their true color. The color red.

I think Jihad Daniel handled the matter terribly. I assume that he is muslim by his name. He should be suing them for violating his rights to not see lesbianism because he is a devout muslim. An intolerant christian couldn’t get away with that. How do liberals stand being constantly turned on their heads?

The Republican Governor of Ohio was recently convicted of ethics violations by not declaring that he was treated to free gold outings. Should I conclude from this that all governors are corrupt? All Republican governors? All golf playing Republican governors? All Republicans? All golfers?
Taking an idiotic episode and ascribing the action of an individual or institution to a whole group of people makes for good partisan rah rah but it shouldn’t be taken as serious political discourse in my opinion.

It would be nice to have the entire text of Daniel’s email before making a judgement. But based on what we’ve seen, this is just stupid.

Sphag...I hear what you’re saying. My Ohio example demonstrates a single episode but my larger point is that conservatives often have trouble complying with ethics regulations. Many conservatives just can’t seem to help themselves when they assume office, as in the case of accepting golf freebies and not reporting them.

True, Mike, but the larger point is that this is often the mindset of liberals. This story is one example, but it is true that many liberal-minded people become outraged when you publicly question their mindsets, as in a case like this where the concept of homosexuality being normal was questioned.

In addition MikeAdamson, you made your point well. And then you stepped in shit with your piss poor wording in a following comment.

As opposed to the liberals? Give me a break.
