Hotel owner facing gay boycott runs op-ed.

You mean full of honesty, facts, truths and full truths. Yes who could blame you.

what do you know about honesty, facts, truths and full truths anyways?

you get caught in a lie or get caught posting incorrect information and nonfactual information yet you still defend what you say...

you have no credibility liberty, especially when you get your information on a hate-liberal website... :lol:

Plenty thanks.

you get caught in a lie or get caught posting incorrect information and nonfactual information yet you still defend what you say...

Only in some fantasy of yours

you have no credibility liberty, especially when you get your information on a hate-liberal website... :lol:

Well that means I am hitting the mark thanks.
 
you're a funny character in your own fantasy world... ;)

All worlds thank you very much.

just don't blame the core reason(s) of things, but instead blame the things that you despise because it's more convenient...

No I am blaming the core of the problem and it is called a disease named liberalism.

that's another reason why america is in such a hell hole, because people are blaming the wrong things and people for what they have to go through and/or fix...

No were in such a hell hole because the left is better at the lies lately then the conservatives are about getting the truth out there. Plus liberalism is such a easy route to take. The lazy way to get what you want it is no wonder people fall for it so easily.

the economy crashes, liberty blames the liberals...

Yes, yes I do!

if a business goes under, liberty blames the crazy nazi left for it...

Not always sometimes it is just a badly run business or a product no one wants. But all to often it is from bad liberal business destroying laws and regulations they put in place.
 

how many worlds do you live in there good chum?

no, you're blaming the minimum wage for destroying seattle's food industry, yet you can't keep on the topic... you get your head all clouded by hatred... you also try to think your opinions are facts, and that hate sites have factual information, yet you still spew the nonsense as truth...

so how does the liberalism destroy economies?

and i didn't know bad liberal businesses destroyed laws and regulations... what does that even mean? or maybe you didn't say what you meant correctly, if so please correct yourself so us american english folks can understand, thanks... ;)

Just the real one thanks.

I am blaming for just what I said. But minimum wage and series of leftist policies just adds to it.

so how does the liberalism destroy economies?

1) It kills economic growth: Strong economic growth is what produces jobs, tax revenue and a better standard of living for everyone, including the poor and middle class. That's what John F. Kennedy was driving at when he said, "A rising tide (in the economy) lifts all boats." Socialism strangles economic growth in the crib by penalizing success and rewarding failure. When you loot the successful people in a society to give it to the less successful, you quite naturally reduce the number of successful people and encourage more people to fail. This leads to a never-ending cycle. The more people in need there are, the more the successful must be penalized to pay for them. The more the successful are penalized, the fewer successful people there are. This causes wealth to concentrate in fewer hands, the economy slows down, and even more people need help. It goes on and on until you get a slow economy that can't produce enough tax revenue to sustain itself. That's exactly what killed the Soviet Union, it's killing Greece right now and sadly, the United States and most of Western Europe is on exactly the same path.

2) It stifles free speech: Why is there ridiculous government propaganda in nations like North Korea? Why are most schools, papers, and colleges run by liberals in the United States? Why do liberals often try to disrupt conservative speakers on college campuses? Why are there such extreme speech codes in Canada that it practically makes some conservative arguments illegal? Why does speaking out against the government risk imprisonment in China and the old Soviet Union? Because socialism requires protection, propaganda, intimidation, and darkness to survive. Socialism can't survive honest, informed debate about its merits among people who are free to choose or reject it because it would not survive the conversation. As Reagan said, "How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

3) It leads to an increasingly tyrannical government: Freedom and socialism go together like oil and water. The more socialism you have, the less freedom you will have because socialism can't survive if people are free to choose whether they want socialism or not. People who are free to say what they want will criticize socialism's many failures. Areas that aren't tightly controlled will move towards the free exchange of ideas and goods, not socialism. So, socialism requires a massive bureaucracy that almost inevitably grows. As government grows, it inevitably becomes more centralized, more distant from the people and ultimately more menacing.

4) It creates strife and division: Socialism is all about turning people against each other. It has to be. After all, if you believe in controlling people's lives, the people who don't wish to be controlled need to be vilified. If you believe in confiscating the wealth of successful people who won't give it up willingly, then others must be convinced they're terrible human beings who deserve to be punished. "Victim" classes must be created for the socialists to defend because if everyone is responsible for himself, what need is there for the socialist? Eventually, those who depend on government for their livelihood and those that the government smears and loots to pay them off come to hate each other.

5) Socialists believe the ends justify the means: Like the pigs in Orwell'sAnimal Farm, socialists believe that, "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." For a socialist, the overriding concern is always promoting socialism; so process, rules and regulation mean different things for different people. Fidel Castro may have been the leader of a Communist revolution against the evil "rich people" in Cuba, but he’s worth 900 million dollars today. A law broken by a Democrat and a Republican may be treated very differently by the papers, the courts, and even the Department of Justice under Eric Holder. As Margaret Thatcher explained,

"Left-wing zealots have often been prepared to ride roughshod over due process and basic considerations of fairness when they think they can get away with it. For them the ends always seems to justify the means. That is precisely how their predecessors came to create the gulag."

One of the reasons so many socialist nations are wracked with violent protests and revolutions is because when the rule of law is abandoned, only outlaws have any hope of receiving justice.
