It seems to me that the group who preaches tolerance the loudest is the most intolerant group when it comes to those who don’t agree with their lifestyle

They are nothing short of the Pol Pot's of the world. You know deep inside the phonies would exterminate those whom didn't march to their tune.

This is why we cannot agree to disagree, because no matter if we shut up about gay marriage they want us stomped and destroyed. This is why we have to fight back.

They preach tolerance like Muslims preach dhimmi status, they don’t practice it themselves just their victims

The only conceivable justification for this would be if there was evidence he discriminated against gays at work at Mozilla such as salary or promotion issues. There is no such evidence.

This is very bad for liberty, specifically the freedom to hold an unpopular opinion and support those who agree with that opinion.

I am deeply disturbed by the unfortunate blow against freedom of speech. Which, by the way is a constitutional right. Unlike, say, marriage.

Safari for Windows is not great, but it mostly works. Opera is supposed to be great but it’s not my personal style. YMMV.

Stupid. Where are the men with conviction and huevos these days? Seriously, folks do not really have to agree with the sodomites, pedophiles, zoophiles, etc just because it might hurt their feelings if we didn't.

Only those that are Anti Gay Marriage get fired and those who stand with the sodomites never get fired for their stand.

I tried the Libertarian approach with this crap too. It could actually work if the other side would practice it too but they won’t. They don’t want tolerance; they want total acceptance.

All this talk about the Liberty Amendments as Levin calls them, bring on the Anti-Liberal amendments instead. Take it all away, their free loading programs, their government jobs, their exclusivity on public education. They’re nothing but useless leaches.

“Earlier this week, dating website OKCupid replaced its usual homepage”

I guess OKcupid calls their site a HOMOpage.
