Originally posted by TassmanThe four million plus Women’s Marches, were intended as a bulwark against the new administration’s attempts to take away their civil rights in the areas of reproductive, civil and human rights and they were mostly peaceful.
Originally posted by TassmanThe Berkeley protest was to resist the hateful ideology of the Alt-Right as represented by Yiannopoulos and Steve Bannon the latter occupying a powerful position in the White House. The university blamed "150 masked agitators" for the unrest, saying they had come to campus to disturb an otherwise peaceful protest.
1. Steve Bannon is a complete red herring. He was not present at Berkley, is not involved in Milo's 'Dangerous Faggot' tour.
2. Whoever the agitators where, they engaged in violence and destruction of public and private property to stop university students and guests from hearing an invited speaker.
3. You above admit that there is politically motivated violence in the USA.
4. Are you attempting to imply that it's somehow Trump's fault that leftists agitators violently demonstrated?
Originally posted by TassmanThe bottom line is that if the current administration continues its attempts to remove the existing rights of US citizens then the people will resist...hopefully peacefully.
Milo is not a part of the Administration, so protests directed against hi simply show that there are people out there that can't cope with being called out publicly on their politics. The immigration issue is not anything that removes the rights of US Citizens.
Bottom line: too many on the left are willing to violently overthrow the system if they don't get their way....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by firstfloorTrump and his ilk are simply on the wrong side of history. More and more families cross national, religious, race, sexual and so on boundaries. We have become accustomed to cosmopolitanism and we tend to reject nationalism because we object to the idea of ‘the other’.
Originally posted by firstfloorBut Trump’s policy is also playing into the hands of our enemies.
“[President Donald Trump has set out to crush Islamic State when it is already at a low ebb, but Islamists and some analysts say his actions could strengthen the ultra-hard-line group by creating new recruits and inspiring attacks on U.S. soil.
The executive order, on which IS has been silent, is in limbo after being overturned by a judge. But whether or not it is reinstated, it has angered Muslims across the world who, despite Trump's denials, see it as evidence that he and his administration are Islamophobic.]”
Appeasement really does work when dealing with Islam, huh?...>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by MaxVel View PostAh, yeah it is. As you affirm later on in your post.
Yes, and...? This shows that the leftists don't use violence against political opponents exactly how? Presumably they supported those rallies, since they were against Trump. If anything, it is evidence that the source of the violence is leftists attacking people who have other political values.

So you spit on Christians and call them over-reacting homophobes and islamaphobes, and turn around and welcome a muslim who hates what you are so badly they would kill you.
Totally insane. Liberals. derp.

Originally posted by Sparko View Postwow, you just don't realize that everything bad you think about Christian values, you can triple for Muslim Values. And you want to give them a hug and welcome them into your home. They would kill you for being gay, Starlight. They would not make you a wedding cake or let you go to their church. They would not even let you have a job. They would throw you in prison and kill you. Just for being gay.

Something I realized quite awhile ago is that radical Muslims are going to wipe out liberals long before they begin to bother me.
I'm not the one who is going to bear the brunt of poor immigration policy.Actually YOU put Trump in the White House.

Let's check Muslim values against Liberal Values:
Women's Rights - Forced marriage, covered head to toe, can't drive or vote, obey their husbands, beating wives is good manners.
Abortion - Kill anyone who does it.
Homosexuality - Kill them all.
Gay Marriage - Impossible, they kill gays before they can even think about getting married.
Atheists - Kill them.
Other religions - Either make them pay a protection fee, or kill them.
Drinking - Outlawed.
Drugs - Kill them.
Equality - No. Just no.
Guns - Gotta have em, how else will they kill all the gays?
Riots in the street - Yeah buddy!
Freedom of Speech - Nope. Kill them all. Especially if they mention Mohammad or draw him.

Originally posted by Meh Gerbil View PostWhile I don't think it is fair to judge all adherents of a religion by their worst actors statements like this make me wonder.
Do you remember 9/11?
Do you remember staring helplessly at the screen while thousands perished on live T.V.?
I do.
My aim here isn't to get overly dramatic but I have to wonder "How many people do they have to kill before some 'phobia' is reasonable, in your opinion?"
Marathon bombers, Pulse nightclub, these are just a few in recent memory - at what point do you think it is reasonable to be a little bit on edge?
I read where liberals on this forum get upset about Christian opposition to gay marriage - while at the same time defending the faith that motivated a young man to walk into a night club and gun down 50 homosexuals. We're importing people who throw gays off buildings but you're upset I use the word 'faggot'? I read where liberals are upset about women's rights - claiming Trump is going to end suffrage - while we important women and girls who've had their lady bits scraped off with clamshells - while women are forced to walk around in black sheets.
Given that I fail to see how I'm the dangerous one - how I'm the oppressor - how my views are a threat to freedom.
I don't expect you to explain any of that, in fact, please don't try.
I'm too bewildered by this whole issue.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde
“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence” ― Bertrand Russell
