[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still no answer on what's been "taken away?"

So loud and vocal one minute, yet complete silence now...[/quote]

Let’s see.  Here are some things that I believe we are losing:

1.  Tolerance on college campuses.  In the name of “diversity,” colleges now have “safe spaces” for people to go to “relax” and “express their ideas.”  But, of course, those spaces are only safe if you hold the same liberal views that colleges teach.  Conservative speakers are rarely invited to college campuses.

2.  Tolerance for people who hold different views.  If one believes in traditional marriage or gender specific locker rooms, they are dismissed as homophobic or bigoted.

3.  Religious tolerance.  If a baker chooses not to make a cake or cupcakes for a gay wedding on religious grounds, that baker is sued and is in danger of losing his/her livelihood.

4.  The concept that all people should be respected and not all points of view should be respected.  Self-explanatory.

5.  The concept that the best person for the job should be the one hired.  Due to affirmative action, the strongest candidate for a job may very well NOT be the one that is hired.  [/quote]

1.) What, we should be tolerant of bigotry?  As for this notion of liberal colleges, sorry but there's no such thing as "liberal calculus" or "liberal physics" or "liberal organic chemistry."  But as to why conservatives don't get invited to colleges, perhaps it's because they want to tell us factually invalid things like "climate change is a hoax."

2.) I can't think of any particularly valid reason why we should be tolerant of bigotry and discrimination.

3.) Sorry but there is absolutely nothing in the Bible or in any religious teachings that says you can't or shouldn't bake cakes or cupcakes for gay people.  Stop twisting religion as cover for your bigotry.

4.) Why should all points of view be respected?  It's established, independently verifiable and scientifically sound fact that the earth is not flat and that it's more than 6000 years old and that man did not live with dinosaurs.  Facts trump opinions.  And sorry but scientific facts also trump old fairy tales written in religious books.

5.) Presupposes that somewhere there are these vast hordes of poor abused white job applicants who all got cheated out of jobs by minorities.[/quote]
