Ismram, I think you've hit it on the head. I believe the poster you referred to believes just that. Intolerance of opinion even within the gun culture....my thoughts on what you cut and posted below because if we can't keep it on the 2nd Ammendment and are going to put peoples beliefs down, I've just got to respond. I'm not supporting any single candidate but lean towards Fred, Huckabee and on the Dem side Richardson (of whom we have a common acquaintance that acknowledges Richardson attended the classes and has a CCW.....by the way).
1. I don't deny science, but, believe it or not evolution
is not proven by "the scientific method". Forget the conspicuous lack of direct proof, evolution fails the observation and repeatabilty test....much less peer review. This cannot be refuted; adaptation is science beyond theory, evolution is not science as it has not been proven...evolution is a theory (a belief, unproven, makes it a...religion?). One more time...evolution is not fact. Evolution is an unproven theory. Period.
2. Hype and fearmongering learned and repeated from the left (those most likely to oppose the 2nd Ammendment). A red herring to silence people who want to enjoy liberty in their own way. This point may be linking someone who wants school prayer on one hand with a "radical Imam-type" on the other hand who would squash people's rights. I've heard of people wanting public school prayer allowed, never instituting a prayer for everyone.
3. So what? Nazi Germany supported Hitler...that did not make it right, it just showed they had a period where they collectively lost their rabbit-assed minds.
4. No doubt they would try to paint Huckabee into a foolish position, the question will be how he addresses it. Bryan was foolish?
you are kidding, aren't you....I think the trial needs be retried
as the bone in question actually came from a pig (a commonly overlooked point).
5. No censorship is good, eh? I know you wouldn't purport (I hope) showing XXX movies to Kindergarten kids, so what level of censorship is OK.....
??...in your opinion, of course. And, of course, your opionion is where the debate stops.....we all need to be quiet and do what you say....
?
6. More alarmism. My mother was a teacher, my wife is an RN, my mother-in-law a manager at an insurance company, I've a female cousin who is a judge, another who controls the state pardon board, etc., etc. I guess we are to expect laws enslaving women similar to the Middle East...funny that early in this country's history when Christian fundamentalist types of beliefs were more the norm we didn't have mass floggings of mothers and daughters.
Having the freedom to believe and believing a specific way is not intolerance, ridicule and imposing boundaries on people may be intolerance. I don't mind so much someone telling me I'm going to Hell for something, it's the sticks and stones thing you know, but I'm "scared as hell" (well not scared, just pissed) when someone tells me those Christian-like types who talk to me are dangerous with an underlying inference that something needs to be done about them.
My favorite candidate was Tancredo...but he's out and on Romney's side. So...I'm hanging in for Fred or Huck (bad immigration views on Huck's part) on the Repubs side and the dark (really dark) horse Richardson with the Dems. I think any of these will be friends to the 2nd Ammendment. But, no manner of support from people will make one of these guys President...they will have to perform to get the opportunity. So we have to wait to see how bad they want it and how skillful they are so we can make the best of the choices that are presented to us.
By the way, have a Merry CHRISTmas. (This has been the overwhelming norm since the country's inception, but then again maybe not, but then yes so, but then no, no way did they say that, ever, but there is another point of view which says yes sometimes and no at other times, but it's ignorant, it's political, it's intolerant, it's whatever......point being made know where we've come from as a nation before speaking so you can know if what you've been fed is sour or not).
