Conservative: “If it offends you too much to discuss this we don’t have to. We’re not the ones seeking changes that would require we discuss it.”

I have been offended by people that feel offended since 1974.

I’m offended by this thread. Mods, shut it down!
To: ReformationFan
The offensenicks pervert a principle that is Christian enough, which is that one should endeavor not to wreck the spiritual growth of a brother or sister by reining in their use of Christian freedoms where appropriate. However when the people involved steadfastly resist redemption, or insist that “society” furnish “their kind” of redemption (e.g. “gay marriage” in the name of “equality”) — it is an abuse and a spiritual train wreck.

It doesn't matter what the issue is; the left will divert a legitimate political debate into an accusation that the right disagrees with them because they are full of hate towards them. That's just because you are a racist. And a homophobe. And a xenophobe. And a hater. /libtard

Racist = Someone who disagrees with a liberal.

Well, often this sort of situation crops up when conservatives try to keep liberals from wholly hogging the political floor (as with the recent “gay marriage” push).

Some one at my work has a window sticker on his truck that says
"I ♥ Hater's"
I laughed my *** off!

The “I’m offended” card is played on both sides. The way to shut someone down that says they are offended is to let them know their being offended is not your concern, the issue at hand is not about their feelings. Then tell them to grow up.

To: dfwgator
And that about sums the liberal “argument” up.
To: ReformationFan
Nothing is played more than the race card and nothing is more politically correct than the discussion about race.
It’s past time to stop that nonsense.

The left acting “offended” to sidestep an issue reminds me of Ann Coulter’s complaint of liberals relying on “womanly indignation” to sidestep an issue.
To: Amendment10
I remember she called it something along the lines of “the doctrine of the the absolute infallibility of a sobbing, hysterical woman.”

If they demand death to chivalry, it’s tempting to treat them as though chivalry was indeed dead. Tell off the weeper the same as if she was a fellow.
