I do not consider him a hero by the way. He apologized to his tormentors for his views. That was his first and last mistake.

No wonder Eich was run out of town on a rail. The understated message to conservatives here is concessions to liberals do not buy you their goodwill. They only buy you their contempt.

I would have liked him better had he stood his ground. I don’t work at Mozilla and its no secret about my views. But unlike Brendan Eich - I will never change them.

no executive in his right mind will donate money to a conservative cause after this.

That’s pretty much the point of terrorist tactics. They work thru intimidation.

[McGavin999]

This is just sick. What kind of twisted minds thinks it’s OK to do this.

He DID recant his “heresies” - and he still got canned.

[ClearCase_guy]

I wish people would figure that out. Once the machine starts moving, you CANNOT placate it. You are going to be canned.

Apologize if you think you are wrong and your enemies are right. If that is the truth, as you see it, then state the truth: "I was a fool, but now I've been re-educated."

OR

Hold your original position if you think you were right. If that is the truth, as you see it, then state the truth: "My enemies are a destructive force, and people ought to say so. I'm saying so."

But you cannot grovel and hope to come out ahead. Abject apology means you lose twice. Standing up for yourself means you lose only once.
The only question: How big of a loser do you want to be?

Elsewhere, a Credoaction petition accrued 75,000 signatures behind the demand that “CEO Brendan Eich should make an unequivocal statement of support for marriage equality. If he cannot, he should resign. And if he will not, the board should fire him immediately.”

I have studied history. Without a doubt, if many of these leftist fanatics had the power of Stalin of Hitler, they would not hesitate to exterminate millions of Conservatives.

They have true evil in their heart. They are one with Satan.

Many yes, but there will be many more emboldened to fine ways to fight back with more vigor.

The fascists on the left are determined to push us to destruction and humiliation. They will lose.

This is what less than 2% of the population can do on behalf of 2% when they lobby big business directly. Threats of bad press, boycotts and lawsuits work. Hopefully, we won’t have to be as nasty as liberals. It is big business lobbying our legislators to sideline conservatives and the tea parties. Are we going to stay silent or are we going to follow the money?

Add a comment on my web page with your email address, requesting it not be published (I’m very careful about not publishing email addresses in comments) and I can email you a spreadsheet of the Fortune 500 Companies including contact information to use and share so that we can start lobbying Big Business directly.

Other than switching to a browser other than Mozilla Fire Fox, how does one make it clear to Mozilla and the homosexual activists that they have crossed the line?
Does Mozilla have a home page where I can object?

How long until re-education camps are opened?

The left rails about the church’s inquisition but hypocritically gives full support to the gay inquisition.

"How quickly has liberty been transmuted into orthodoxy. For the entirety of human history, gay marriage was a veritable non-issue — a thought that had occurred seriously to nobody and for which there was neither a meaningful constituency nor measurable pressure. In the space of a decade it has moved from a fringe and novel proposition to a moral imperative — and, now, to fodder for the new inquisitors. That the issue has now achieved the approval of a narrow majority is to my mind no bad thing. That the movement’s more vocal champions have started bludgeoning their enemies one and a half minutes into their still-fragile victory speaks tremendously ill of them, and does not portend well for the republic."

Do not comply! Resist!
