Texas Governor Rick Perry Confirming SOCON Intolerance...

Liberty -vs- Tyranny



The voice of intolerance and bigotry.

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today issued the following statement regarding the vote to admit openly gay Boy Scouts:

The Boys Scouts of America has been built upon the values of faith and family for more than 100 years and today's decision contradicts generations of tradition in the name of political correctness. While I will always cherish my time as a scout and the life lessons I learned, I am greatly disappointed with this decision.

Once again proving the bible thumping socons are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Way to go Governor Perry. Not that anyone with a rational mind is surprised by your backwardness.

    So, anyone who disagrees with you is "part of the problem?"

    He didn't call for killing gay people. He merely expressed his disappointment at a private organization allowing them to lead children.

    Sounds like a difference of opinion. Now, who is the intolerant one?

      Actually no. However in this specific case he is wrong IMNHO. And as much as it may pain some the truth is the truth.

      Well... actually, Perry like Gohmert is often wrong. But who's counting. ;-)

      Anon: So bigotry and discrimination according to you is OK as long as it doesn't demand killing the victims?

      I guess Rosa Parks had nothing to complain about, right?

      "the truth is the truth?"

      The truth is, a private organization has voted to allow homosexuals in, and a man has stated his opposition to it based upon traditional values.

      Equating homosexuals with black people. How original. Rosa parks was on public property. That, sir, was a clear cut case of discrimination.

      What we have here is a difference of opinion. I figgered the libertarian Mr. RationalNationUSA would understand that.

      So Rational Nation supports the government barging into private lives and telling people what opinions they can hold?

      So a Rand adherent supports a private organization changing its core values based upon the tyranny of the crowd?

      This is why libertarians are untrustworthy.

      With all due respect you apparently do not understand.

      1) There are different types of bigotry. I did not invoke Rosa Parks, you did.

      2) I did not say Perry did not have a right to his opinion. He certainly does.

      3) I have a right to mine.

      4) The BSoA is a private organization. They made a correct, non judgemental decision based on rational as opposed to religous thought and now will allow openly gay members.

      5) Perry, the unenlightened individual he is chose to make a statement which politicized the issue given his political status.

      6) Therefore I will make the leap and state my firm conviction that if Perry could he would impose HIS will on private organizations based on his socon sensibilities.

      7) Feel free to visit anytime. Your comments are well thought out and appreciated.

      I invoked Rosa Parks. And yes I stand by it. The unjustified dislike of gay people is little different from dislike of blacks.

      And since your main objection on Rosa Parks, Anon, is the private vs public difference, does this mean you support any and all private discrimination (business, lodging, etc) against blacks?

      -----------

      Of course I do not, sir! The question is, where it the limit? Will people one day be prohibited from holding their own thoughts in their consciences?

      And many blacks do not like the unsavory comparison, so you should be more sensitive in your speech.

    Gays have been so effective at gaining their rights I wish the Dems would study the tactics and strategy.

    Perry should go have a drink with Peggy Nooner.

    This clown is right out of central casting. a) He's a homophobe and b) he couldn't even remember 3 piddly little items at the debate. For anyone to have even considered this fellow as the leader of the free world is mind-boggling.

    The Texas GOP has become a national joke. The good news? Texas is slowly but surely going to become a Blue State, and some day, probably within our lifetimes, only a few far-right screwballs in the state house and congressional delegations will have any place there to be.

      Yeah, they're such a joke that people are moving to the state from failed liberal experiments like California and New York.

    Yeah, Jersey's comment read like something from Crossfire. Partisanship over principle. It;s the sloppy, careless Jersey, the same one that recently said that Fox News ignored the military rape scandal at the same time Fox had it as an hourly headline.

    Jersey left that one floating, but didn't have the decency to flush it.

    Like the time he reviewed "Atlas Shrugged" and his main criticism was that one of the characters was a small homosexual (I have replaced the more disparaging term he used...one borrowed from Westboro Baptist).

    When he is on top of his game, he's great. I wish it were more than one comment out of every 10 that was.

Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"

( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely ...

Thoughts On the Civil War and What Precipitated It...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Over at Contra O'Reilly Will Hart has been running a interesting series on the Civil War and what the primary causes were. Historians continue to disagree with the root, or primary causes. However it is generally accepted among knowledgeable and unbiased experts that slavery had very little to do with the onset of the War Between the States. Causes were primarily economic and constitutional. Will, in his posts has done a good job of pointing this out with supporting documentation. This site offers the following, a July 2013 article by David Hirsch in support of Will Hart's arguments. Arguments this site wholly concurs with. Arthur Hirsch's recent article about the Battle of Gettysburg reveals a disturbing ignorance of the political dynamics that brought this nation to a war that 150 years later remains the most cataclysmic event in our history ("A defining day relived," July 2). It accepts the sh...
