Intolerance - Page 2

I'm still trying to get members of Occupy to tell me who their two home state senators and representative are.

Oh, and Merc and I have been friends since the moment he opened his browser here ...

Am I getting this right?

Are you equating shouting and throwing glitter with codifying the descrimination of a class of American Citizen and revoking a woman's right to determine what's best for her own body?

Wasn't it a tea partier who said "keep the government out of my social security". There are uninformed people everywhere.

awwwwwwww

Your only flaw, as I see it, is that you live somewhere that is completely fookin' hot and humid 90% of the year. It rains the other 10%.

Yea, but it never snows either. So we put up with the hot or fall asleep under a tree.

Like Mexicans!

Right next to them. They usually get all the most shady spots.

Hey, don't knock Savannah!
Merc might be nearly opposite me politically speaking, but he's a true Southern Gent when it comes to offering hospitality.

I intend to visit him and his wife when my ship comes in.
I've been sold on Savannah since Bill Bryson recommended Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

You are welcome to my place anytime you want to come! would love to have you.

What PH said.

Oh, and Andrew Breitbarts little rant at the Occupy protesters out front of the CPAC conference was not only staged, but hilarious.
Their chants were far better (Occupy 1 - Breitbart 0)

Ooh! And once you're in Savannah, Sundae, it's only a piddly little 1,171 miles to Austin!

TACOMA, Wash. - Rick Santorum said on Monday that the Occupy movement represents "true intolerance" after he was faced with a handful of angry protestors who shouted through his entire event, ultimately resulting in the arrest of three of them.

Intolerance? Maybe, a bit.

Rude, certainly.

A strategic error, too. What could they possibly say that would do more harm to Santorum's chances of election than the things Santorum would have said himself if allowed to speak uninterrupted?

But people are voting for this man. There are obviously plenty of fruitloops absolutely lapping up his hatred and bile and twisted sense of morals.

lookout123 · 02-15-2012, 09:52 AM

Out of curiosity, do you have specific examples of Santorum's hatred and bile?

glatt · 02-15-2012, 10:18 AM

One of the most famous examples is probably the "Man on dog" interview he gave back when he was still a Senator.

In that interview, he says that he has no problem with homosexuals, but that he opposes their acting out on their urges. He says that he thinks that consenting adults do not have a right to privacy in their sex lives and that the government has a right to legislate what sex acts they can perform with one another. He says all this in a very loving way without any bile.

"And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution..."

and later:

"And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. The idea is that the state doesn't have rights to limit individuals' wants and passions. I disagree with that."
