I've been wondering how long it would take for this to happen. The very people who promote tolerance and diversity, are themselves, intolerant and non-diverse. These people worship at the alter of progressivism, yet anyone who does not, is targetted and demeaned for their inability to pay homage. Tammy Bruce's book "The New Thought Police" perfectly outlines how it is the Left, under the guise of tolerance and PC, that has become the arbitors of free-speech in this society, as they now dictate what is tolerable.

What liberals are essentially trying to do (e.g. w/Hate Crimes) is set up a system were they, their constituients and their agendas are protected by law. They are trying to institute laws that would basically set up a government were any one who disagrees with the liberal point of view could be classified as a hater, racist or bigot...thereby silencing the opinions and speech of those with a descending point of view.

These liberals have effectively demonized anyone who holds an opposition view to their agenda and thus, has made any reasoned debate or discussion a reason to classify those people as unreasonable and extreme. In labeling these dissenters in such a fashion, liberals don't even have to respond as the debate ends with the personal attack. The New Thought Police...indeed.

It's about time conservatives learned to use the leftists tactics against them. Next we will learn how to shop for judges that will declare laws WE don't like unconstitutional.
