...says the intolerant conservatives.

The difference is as long as you do not interfere with my personal life.

You can be a racist and I the conservative move on and just call you one. The left you can be a racist and I must destroy everything in your life if I see you as a racist.

You can be sexist and I the conservative move on and just call you one. The left you can be a sexist and I must destroy everything in your life if I see you as a sexist.

You can be homophobic and I the conservative move on and just call you one. The left you can be a homophobic and I must destroy everything in your life if I see you as as homophobic.

You see if you want to scream it, act like it, run your business like it, live your life in every way like one I say let you do just that. The problem comes when you use the force of a gun under the power of a government to make me act like it, run my business like it is when the tension we see in America is happening.
 
@ TruLib:

Yeah...see, there's a pretty huge difference that for *some* reason is completely escaping you:

No one has ever died from not being able to do those things which allow them TO be called "a racist"; several have died while being on the receiving end OF racists being racist.


I'll *agree* with you on one inferred point: We shouldn't need laws to make racists stop being racist...

...it should come naturally. Obviously, it doesn't - as racists have no self-control as a currently-running thread is aptly proving.

In my scenario that statement is just not true. You live your life as a racist or not and I will live my life as one or not. Your feeling may or may not get hurt. You may or may not get the service you desire but what is great about real freedom is someone out there will be more then happy to provide it for you when another does not want to. But in what you wrote you seem to be suggesting violence is what I saying is expectable and I am not. Reverse what you wrote and most certainly it is true.

Something we can agree on.

I've never interfered with anyone personal life side from voting to make hay marriage a legal thing here in Oregon, or voting in legalizing medical marijuana. In any case, it's not so much interfering add it is pissing some people off since apparently those things are so tuurrble! However, if I see anyone infringing on anyone rights as a citizen, youre damn certain on going to get involved where I see fit.

Hey, it could be worse: I could still be an intolerant progressive member of the Deluded Left...
 
When will you get it through your mind that both sides are incredibly delusional? xD

Or, that in some (*cough*cough*) cases, the "delusional" may have absolutely nothing to do with what color pole one chooses to hang one's hat upon.

It has everything do with what one pole people choose to hang ones hat upon.

Anything liberal, no and never!

Anything conservative, most of the time.

Anything libertarian, a lot of the time.
