consider this

what if the Governor of Mississippi, Phil Bryant, said something similar to Governor Cuomo of New York?... imagine if you will:

You’re seeing that play out in Mississippi. The Right To Life Act. The Democrat Party candidates are running against the Right To Life Act -- it was voted for by moderate Democrats who run the House. Their problem is not me and the Republicans; their problem is themselves. Who are they? Are they these extreme liberals who are pro-choice, gun-grabbers, anti-religion? Is that who they are? Because if that’s who they are and they are the extreme liberals, they have no place in the state of Mississippi, because that’s not who Mississippians are.

what kind of vile, hate-filled rants would come from the likes of MSNBC and other media sources?... but it's those of us who are "bitter" and "cling to guns and religion" who are intolerant of differing opinions.

or: "from crony capitalism to crony communism in one easy step"

But, then, government of the sort progressives demand — supposed “experts,” wiser than the market, allocating wealth and opportunity by supposedly disinterested decisions — is not just susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.

Solyndra got to the government trough with the help of a former bundler of Obama campaign contributions who was an Energy Department bureaucrat helping to dispense taxpayers’ money to politically favored companies. His wife’s law firm represented Solyndra.

From 1965 through 1968, the left found its voice and style in consciousness-raising demonstrations and disruptions. In November 1968, the nation, its consciousness raised, elected Richard Nixon President and gave 56.9 percent of the popular vote to Nixon or George Wallace. Republicans won four of the next five presidential elections.

Occupying--Not Rioting--Wall Street

Regardless of traffic snarls, the police had no right to pepper spray, mace and violently throw to the ground peaceful demonstrators. Yes, the protestors did not have a permit to march, but the police had little grounds on which to get violent with them.

i agree that the police, in may instances, used excessive force... however, it is still illegal to march without a permit... civil disobedience is still a crime... disobeying a lawful order of a police officer is an arrestable offense... again, the police was excessive, but i would hardly call it "little grounds"... i don't believe any of the protestors calmly turned themselves in once the police notified them of being under arrest... this crowd is not filled with Ghandi's or King's.

we need less TIME and more outrage

A Brief History of Intolerance in America in TIME magazine...

they have a slideshow of examples of "intolerance" in America... but they don't directly address the issue they are implying... intolerance towards muslims/islam... but the link on every page is Mosque Controversy: Does America Have a Muslim Problem?... so the implied connection is that anyone opposed to the proposed mosque in New York is equally racist/biased/ignorant as the people in the slide show...

included in the slide show are anti-semites, anti-Catholics, anti-Mormons, racists, Ku Klux Klan, Chinese-exlusionists, anti-native americans, anti-Japanese in WWII, and unbelievably they even throw in anti-Hare Krishna...

so are we to believe that anyone who disagrees with the choice of placement of a mosque near the place where muslims masacred thousands, that somehow these people are anti-muslim or racist in some fashion?... there is no other connection to be made... a:b::c:d...

at least TIME has preteded to be moderate on the subject in the article...

Islamophobia in the U.S. doesn't approach levels seen in other countries where Muslims are in a minority.

there's no sign that violence against Muslims is on the rise

so, let me get this straight... if we have an opinion, then we're racist and anti-muslim... we're being attacked around the world, from barracks in Beruit to suicide bombers in the sky... what's a little slap-in-the-face mosque?... why get bent out of shape about that?... how about we go really Christian on this and turn the other cheek?... that cheek has already been slapped.

they (mosque supporters) want us (outraged americans) to respect their rights... i'll stop being outraged when they show a little respect for those who were murdered... i'll respect their rights when they are outraged at those very same murders...

and if they were outraged at the atrocity that was 9/11, they wouldn't propose a mosque in that location... they're not outraged; i don't respect their rights... they are disrespectful; i'll remain outraged... QED
