So, so true.

Quote:
Now that's not to say that there aren't some hateful homophobes out there, because there certainly are. But not everyone who opposes gay marriage is guilty of those labels. Especially if you oppose gay marriage for truly religious reasons.


And they know this but it's just easier to label them a hate-filled homophobe.

Quote:
It's funny how the Left screams about religious freedoms and tolerance where radical Islam is concerned, but if you oppose gay marriage because you're a God fearing Christian or an observant Orthodox Jew they don't want to hear about it.


Glad somebody else noticed this.

Religion is only an excuse. I don't buy it. I'm no fan of religion, but it also tells people to be peaceful and loving toward one another, yet some choose to follow some other part. Heck, even Pope says he is not the one to judge a homosexual, but then some here judge them. I think they should own it and stop hiding behind their religion.

Give me a break. It's not like people wake up one day and think, "I'll claim religion in order to justify my bias." Doctrine against homosexual acts is found in millenia-old scripture. And, while we are commanded to loving towards all, that doesn't mean tolerance trumps all else. It's still a sin and only the spiritually immature throw out obedience and then use love as an excuse. You'd just prefer people throw religion out the window altogether.

both very strong choices, but they are still runner-ups to "racist", the de facto way out of debates for liberals who are either too lazy, stupid or ignorant(often a combination of all 3) to actually explain their position.


They can't explain their position because it's based on knee-jerk emotionalism. If you don't have arguments then you use ad hominem attacks. It's what the left-wing does. If you criticize Obama, then you're a racist. If you agree with the Zimmerman trial ruling, then you're a racist. If you don't agree with same-sex marriage, then you're a homophobe.

You can NOT seriously be comparing the plight of the American homosexual to that of the German Jew under Hitler and the Nazis. That's an insult to every Jew both on and off this site (I'm Italian American Catholic and I'm outraged).

I like you, Ronnie. We've been political advocates on many things over the years. But this is the kind of shit that gives all liberals a bad name. It's just as bad as the far right comparing Obama to the anti-Christ. But you're educated, so this may even be more ignorant.

This really shouldn't surprise you, PB. The libs have already been trying to make a comparison between blacks and civil rights of the past and gays today. So this is hardly a shock, especially from somebody like ronnierocket.

PB. No disrespect, but maybe you haven't been to college in a while. "Education" today consists of liberal propaganda. Almost every school in the country is filled with professors spewing left wing garbage and indoctrinating the next generation of ignorant left wings zealots. So no, it should not be surprising that he is both educated and ignorant. I went to college in Indiana, and it was still one big liberal think tank.
Thats why I chose Accountancy, to get away from the pervasive zealotry that is Undergraduate America.

I am assuming that somewhere within those "jokes" was an argument, or what passes for one on the left. My freshman year I had a professor (wont say her name) who said that the innocent Israelis who are victims of acts of terrorism by Hezbollah and similar groups deserved it because of the "occupation". Believe it or not, she was moreso middle of the road compared to other professors I had.

None taken, Vin. In a way you're spot-on. I went to Fordham from '77-'81. Now Fordham is Jesuit run and the Jesuits are pretty liberal, as far as Catholic Orders go. But it was nothing like Columbia or Berkeley. Places like that won't let you graduate today unless you have contempt for your country rolleyes.

But I'm not completely detached from today's college scene. My older daughter graduated from the University of Miami a few years ago; my younger daughter will graduate from Penn State after the fall semester; and my son begins SUNY Stony Brook in a couple of weeks. But my daughters made it through without taking up with the Taliban, so I'm pretty hopeful for my son whistle.

PB. Congrats on your kids! You must be proud. Moreover, you must be a good father, which is the most important thing.
Kids going into college are impressionable, which is why college is a breading ground for brain washing. Alot of these youngsters weren't instilled with the morals necessary to have a solid grounding in their value system. I thank God my father instilled in me a strong moral and value system that could not be rocked by a left wing zealot professor. Even though I lost him when I was 19, his lessons never left my mind and allowed me to stay strong in who I was, and not be easily manipulated.
The funniest thing about these professors is that the vast majority have never done anything with their lives besides teach, so its not suprising they are how they are.
Maybe if they left campus and got real jobs, they would have been cut down to size. Most people who live and work in the real world (not on a college campus) realize that many far left ideas are non applicable and even dangerous.
And oh, mabye some economics woulden't hurt them either.

That made me laugh PB, but sadly is probably true.

Ouch, thats a lot of tuition money, i hope you planned ahead of time. I know guys that put saving for their kids college off to the last possible second and had to scramble for cash at the last minute. One guys daughter was at NYU in the city, he used to cry about what the tuition was costing him. Everytime i would run into him thats all i heard about. lol.

Well, there's a cynical old saying that goes something like "those who can't do, teach," or something like that.

Now I'm not ready to throw all teachers under the bus like that, but unfortunately there are quite a few in that world who have no idea what life is like outside of academia. When I was younger we referred to them as "professional students," but that expression is probably a bit dated today.

But you know the guys I mean. Corduroy pants, tweed jacket with elbow patches, a cheesy mustache and an unlit pipe (at like twenty eight years old). I'm almost 54 and I still want to smack them when I see them lol.

I'm only two years removed from college and I tell you what considering I'm in Massachusetts I had some VERY liberal professors some of which I disagreed on almost every issue. However I also had some very good ones, some of which I'm still in contact with today. It's a mixed bag. My encouragement to younger kids these days, is to think for yourself and draw your own conclusions rather than form it on your Professor's. A good teacher would want students to think outside the box, not limit themselves

But I'd expect nothing less from the peanut gallery that makes up the European Left. After all, and I hate to beat a dead horse here, you're the same guy who admonished us Americans for cheering when that piece of shit bin-Laden caught one in the eye. Your contempt for this great country isn't even thinly veiled anymore, and everyone here knows it (why do you think your thread on the pressure cooker was such a flop?)

So here's hoping that Bradley Manning gets twenty to life, and that scumbag Snowden gets to stay in Russia for the rest of his life at the expense of never being able to see his family again. Unless he man's up, comes home, and faces the music. Then I'll actually have a modicum of respect for the guy. But in the interim, I hope he chokes to death on a bowl of borscht.

I have to agree with this and the other Pizzaboy comments. Don't see how anyone in their right mind could think conservatives love Putin or any other KGB officer
