Tolerance – The New Catch Phrase for Thought Policing
CrossActionNews ^ | 10-17-07 | Rev Michael Bresciani

America’s penchant for accepting new hate crimes bills is becoming a strain on the idea that “the government can’t legislate the morality of the governed.” It is a reverse way of saying we can’t tell you to do what’s good; so we’ll lower the bar. Now doing what is evil is no longer all that bad.

Didn't our Founding Fathers know that there was plenty of 'hate' in the history of humanity? Duhhhh ! That's why they wrote the Constitution of the United States in such a specific manner as to quell the power of the governors (potential tyrants) over the governed (the populace).

So-called "hate crime" legislation is nothing more than an attempt to put power over the governed back into the the hands of the governors, and is wholly unconstitutional ... imho, of course.

What the left means by tolerance is intolerance.

You can summarize all political correctness in this one verse.

2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Question I always ask gliberals: “How can it be morality if there is no choice involved?”.

In related news, the Hush Rush letter is up to almost 117,000 dollars.

As often as I hear the term bandied about today one would
think it should be seen more often in Scripture—Yet I can
think of its use only a few times most often in reference
to it being more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah. I am reminded what has been done to the term
Separation of Church and State by th eprogessivly evil
in re: to the First Amendment.

And typical to hishoof and mouth condition Sen. Salazar
is now saying Rush needs to get beyond the division and attacks. Says it would be nuts for any who signed that
stupid letter to hush Rush to agree to pony up and match
the final bid -because we don’t pay our poor destitute
politicians enough. LOL
