My gay friends are also anti gov’t capitalists and not only are they not ashamed of me they know me and they love me. We can have different opinions and beliefs and be friends too. This whole thing has gone off in a ditch because there is a segment of the liberal community who thinks they alone have the right beliefs and that everyone else is wrong and that anyone who is not like minded needs to be politicized out of existence. The pro-gay movement has turned from one of love and tolerance to one of hate and bigotry against Christians or anyone else who has a different opinion. That’s isn’t tolerance. And some conservative gays (yes they exist. Conservative about GOV’T is what is about, not any kind of life style choice) think it has gone way to far. This kind of controversy is a perfect example of how far towards intolerance things have devolved to.

No, Kramer. You may want to check with a high school history teacher and find out what the Constitution says about freedom of speech because you don’t have a clue. Our society is deteriorating because we have too many uneducated Americans like yourself who don’t even know what their own Constitution says or how it applies.

Progressive nazi, once again you on the left think you own the market on intelligence. Not all opposed to gay marriage based on religious values. Me? I am a Republican who could care less if they want to marry. There are bigger iussues out there like getting the facist out of the White House. You progressive nazis voted the moron in and we are screwed. You on the left are ignorant in more ways then can be expressed. You are just to dumb to know it.

Progressive nazi, once again you are wrong. Speaking with you is like speaking with a 16 year old. They think they know everything but, are dumba**es and have to be reminded of that everyday. You are unable to have an intelligent conversation because you are an ignorant facist. Any high school teacher can educate you on facism.

How is it discrimination when they openly serve and employee gays? Who is being discriminated against? It’s only tolerance and free speech if you agree with it.

There is no way Progressive Humanist is a professor. He is too angry and there is no intelligent argument here. Most of what he/she says sounds like something he heard from a philosophy professor in spring semester. So what year are you kid?

Kramer- I love it when someone like you tries to insult someone else’s intelligence and spells like a 4th grader (learn the difference between “to” and “too”). So you think you’re intelligent and I’m not? What measure are you using there? Because you think so? Every word you post just makes you more of an embarrassment, but you don’t have enough metacognition to realize that you should be ashamed.
This is why I know you lack an adequate education: You write like a high school dropout (literally). You don’t understand the concept of freedom of speech (which is taught in about 10th grade). You don’t understand the term “fascism”, and you use the term Nazi the minute you are intellectually overwhelmed, and that’s really an insult to those people who were actually hurt by the Nazis.
You just not a bright individual. You’re likely a lower middle class truck driver and can’t understand the forces around you so you lash out. It’s sad really.

You really have a hang up on education, Progressive Humanist. Bet your a middle class punk in a mid-level college, probably a super senior or some kind of elevated grad assist who’s enamored with his philosophy professor who holds the answers to the universe. Your parents are blue collar and you’re embarrassed and hung up on education and all the “stupid” people in the world who just can’t comprehend all the amazing complicated high level things that you know. Grow up. You’re a joke. Get your head out of your ass, you might learn something.

Well that “education” you got couldn’t teach the stupidity out of you, unfortunately. I guess it doesn’t work for everyone. But you keep hoping the magic monkey will come get you when you die.

Progressive nazi, you can spell. You are still a nazi. You could not intellctually overwhelm a 4th grader let alone people on this blog. You are a blowhard who thinks you are more intelligent then you truly are. You are probably a loner, due to people not really liking to be around you. I feel sorry for you and in your honor will go back to CFA tomorrow and have a grilled chicken salad just for you.

No, afe, I’m just disappointed that Americans like yourself have caused us to fall behind the rest of the world in education. You value myth over fact, belief over evidence. But the next generation is more open minded, and your kind will die off. But unfortunately the next generation doesn’t value education and science much because their parents indoctrinated them in foolish myths their whole lives. You and Kramer are exactly what is ruining this country- you embrace and wallow in ignorance.

progressive nazi, feel free to move to a country of your choice and be happy. This is the best nation in the world in spite of our current leader and nazi’s like yourself. Or education system is due to liberals allowing a union to control what are nations children are taught and how they are educated. Oh wait, you probably support that sort of facsism. You know, China is always looking for good people like yourself.

You’re just angry enough in your early 20s to be a mind boggling menace to society in another decade or two. That is unless you off yourself first because your beliefs about life and this world and people in it leave you feeling hopeless and frustrated and alone. Who wants to make bets which road he takes?

It’s you Tea Partiers who will be on food stamps if Romney wins, and at this point it looks like he doesn’t really have much a chance. But it’s better for you to whine for another four years than to be homeless and on food stamps.

Hate is a virtue many of its supporters aspire too! years ago it was African Americans, now its the LGBT community. If God is truly is who they say he is, when they meet HIM, there will certainly be no Chick -Fil-a products to be found.
Mr Truitt will have some explaining to do when he is shown all of the hurt and pain he has caused. Typically when people get older they tend to go out of their way to be nicer to those around them and their actions. Not this Guy, he has asked for a Supersized version of Hell!

Thanks Kramer, but this is my country and I’ll stay here and do my best to educate people so that there will be fewer like yourself in the future.
afe- That shows how much you understand education. You think people earn PhD’s in their “early 20’s”? Or do you just think people become professors without having a PhD? If that were the case, then I’m sure that someone would have hired you to be a professor of biblical studies and gay philosophy or something of that nature, right? What planet do you live on?

Gay groups are upset b/c they are fighting for their basic human rights. Just like all of us fought for our human right to buy alcohol on Sundays. I can bet you that some of the people that ate at Chick-Fil-A today to support “freedom of speech” also voted yes to alcohol sales on sunday. i can also bet you that the real reason they ate at chick-fil-a today is b/c they are christian and are against gay marriage. the irony in this … wasn’t it un-christian before to have alcohol sales on sundays? seems to be a lot of picking and choosing what to believe in from the bible, and then judging others based off what you believe. look at the pictures, it’s mostly white people … no surprise there. Only in the South.

Kramer, I wouldn’t expect you to understand economics. You clearly don’t have the capacity. I would, however, expect you to be dumb enough to vote for Romney and end up unemployed (although it’s amazing to me that anyone would employ you in the first place; they must be hard up for people to clean their toilets). But, as I said, he doesn’t have much of a chance, so you can just keep whining.

What are you talking about PH? I can’t even find the question in there. I said you are in your early 20’s AND there is no way you have an education beyond a bachelor’s at a liberal arts college. And you are hung up on education because your parents don’t have one and they are probably religious too and that is embarrassing to you because went to school now and have been enlightened. I absolutely do know what it takes to be a professor. Any 6th grader can look that up online. If you must know, I have taught with a master’s and am working on a doctorate. None of my colleagues speak/type the way that you do but many a self righteous indignant undergrad has! Therefore, I made my conclusions stated above about you.

As usual, if we don’t agree with the PC line, the first thing you all do is start the name calling. I live in the south, but am not a “redneck” even though there’s nothing wrong with it. You need to look up where that name came from. If you had a red neck, you got it from working for a living in the sun all day. You were a hard working perso who HAD to work. Bigot much?

Yeah, afe, I’m sure you’re working on a “doctorate”. Likely an online one at Capella, Walden, or U of Phoenix. If you are in a doctoral program, then they must have very low standards for admission. Maybe it’s a “doctorate” in religious studies, which is more worthless than a degree in drama. Tell me, what kind of statistical analysis are you planning do use for your dissertation? Multiple regression? Analysis of covariance? Or do you even know what those are? Doctorate my @$$.

Jdawg, how do you tie Sunday alcohol sales to this? If you read the Bible, you will know that there is no restrictions on alcohol consumption, other than over consuming. Don’t try to make up hipocracy where there is none. Also, these same things go on in the north as well. Quit bashing the south and move north.
