The Not So Peaceful and Loving Gays the Liberal Media Doesn't Show You

Not nearly as much as would have "happened" if those attacks were on Muslims. The media would be yacking about that **** all freaking day and night.

Oh for crying out loud. Are we really playing the Outrage Meter Game? Grow the **** up.

Those attacks "happen" to Muslims a metric ****ton more than they happen to anti-SSM crusaders.

Not on college campuses, where Muslims get the red carpet to spew their hatred of women and gays, while Christians get red paint thrown at them (metaphorically, of course)

"Traditional marriage" is a business contract between families. Is that what you support?
 
ItMustBeSaid85 said:
Only two cultures in history have had gay "marriage", other than present-day "culture": Ancient Rome, prior to Constantine the Great, and the Fujian province during the Ming Dynasty. Nero was in history's first recorded gay "marriage", by the way. Having the original Anti-Christ in such a union does make sense.



States have every legal right to treat differing behaviors as unequal, or else by definition all behavior would be permitted, including mutually exclusive behaviors. The 10th Amendment gives states the right to do anything not specifically forbidden in the rest of the Constitution. However, I don't even care that much about the Constitution, because liberals trample on it, so we must have theocracy to defend God's law, which supersedes human law, Constitution or no.



Some Founding Fathers were Christians, while others were deists. Once again, however, I don't care. God's law supersedes human law in all cases.

Of the 99 so-called "Founding Fathers" I don't know of a single Deist. Franklin said he felt he most aligned with the Deists, but was NOT a Deist.

No, it isn't. Every culture has a concept of marriage whether they're religious or not. Some even have gay marriage going back to antiquity.

And America deems marriage to be a secular legal contract. They don't give a crap if atheists marry and spend every day of their married lives at swinging clubs, or divorce and remarry 50 times.

States do not have the right to deny legal equality to people for superficial reasons.

America is a secular nation, and many of the Founders had absolutely scathing things to say about religious people who wanted the country to run by their dogma.

If you look intently at American history, you will find that modern Protestantism was not publicly introduced until 1790. Even so, in many locales the Seven Men continued to organize town affairs well into the mid 1800s. It's really not accurate to say then that the Founding Fathers were not in any way influenced by religion.

States do in fact deny any number of things for "superficial" reasons.

Yes, all gays are violent and evil because a gay person attacked a Christian. Just like how all Christians are evil because of the practiced bigotry derived from their dogma that lead them to violence against homosexuals.

indeed, and likewise all police are violent and evil because a police officer shot an african american. and all african americans are violent and evil because an african american shot a police officer. we can generalize, or we can look at reality as a whole and not the tidbits of sensationalized information our mainstream media feeds us.

I never understood the Left's tolerance of Muslim misogyny and homophobia while being totally intolerant of anything Christians do. Can you explain that one?

Please provide us with evidence of your claims about the "Left's tolerance of Muslim misogyny" when the social and sexual views of America's right are more in agreement with the radical Muslims than any Lefties.

Short memory?

Last year, Ali found herself in the middle of a new controversy when Brandeis University canceled her planned speech at a commencement event and rescinded her honorary degree after complaints from faculty, students, and off-campus Muslim groups. The disinvitation sparked a heated debate about “political correctness”...

Of course, I agree with some of your point. Americans in general have misogyny issues. Fact supporting that would be how many women have been executed for killing their husbands or lovers verses how few men receive the death penalty for killing women they know...especially since men are probably 10X more likely to murder a female partner than vice-versa.

Well, why don't you start by explaining how Islamists' homophobia is bad, while Christian homophobia is somehow an expression of the freedom of religion.

A couple relevant points about this controversy: First - Brandeis didn't rescind Ms Ali's degree as she had not yet received it - they rescinded the offer. AND Second - She was invited to return to the university at another time to give a speech. Third - Brandeis is a predominately Jewish school, named for the first Jewish Supreme Court Justice, Louis Brandeis (1856–1941)

I don't see there being a distinction. That's the problem. The Right sees silly Evangelical Christian doctrine as an American ideal, while the Left sees the Muslim doctrine, which is far worse judging by what I see happening to gays and women in Saudi Arabia, as something we should welcome and accept in the name of tolerance and diversity.

Even the liberal Bill Maher sees the problem.

Bill Maher: Liberal 'bullying' on Islam debate makes them 'part of the problem' - Washington Times

The liberal hate of Ali's outspoken views cuts deeper than those of a small Jewish college.

In reviewing her book, Nomad, Nicholas Kristof lamented that, "Hirsi Ali denounces Islam with a ferocity that I find strident. … Her memoir suggests that she never quite outgrew her rebellious teenager phase." Yes, if only she would be more demure in describing her own oppression. Guardian columnist Emma Brockes complained that in criticizing Islam, Hirsi Ali "is startlingly direct" and is "deliberately, almost narcissistically provocative."

Yet, when author Anne Rice announced she had "quit Christianity" because it was anti-gay, anti-feminist and anti-science, Brockes only wanted to know "what took her so long?" Speaking of "startlingly direct," Rice said, "(I) began to really study (Catholicism) and I found that it was not an honorable religion, that it was not honest."

I know, and so do you, that liberals would never attack Muslims like they did the Christians shown in the op. Why? This fellow non-believer, atheist guy probably nails it.

I felt this way about all religions including Islam years before September 11th, 2001. Back then I was still considered a Liberal and even Liberals would criticize Islam along with other faiths. After the 9-11 attacks American Liberals proved what cowardly hypocrites they were by dropping to their bellies and crawling for Islam while bashing the hell out of Christianity. I’ll never be a Conservative, but I don’t ever want anyone to think that I’m a Liberal given what they’ve turned into.

What dumb**** right-wing hack gave you the idea that anyone on the left supports women being executed at greater rates than men?

You're wondering why Americans criticize American actions more than actions in other countries? Really?

Let me know when Muslims in the United States are elected to office and start forcing their religion on others.
