The More Things Change…
At the risk of sounding like an angry liberal whiner, I’d like to draw people’s attention to something I read in this CNN article on the possible advancement and passage of some liberal rights laws in the new Congress next year.
Another conservative leader, the Rev. Louis Sheldon of the Traditional Values Coalition, asserted that the gay-rights bills likely to advance next year will infringe on the rights of those who condemn homosexuality.
“All Americans must be prepared to endure serious threats to their freedom of speech, their right to make employment decisions as business owners and their religious freedom in the business world,” Sheldon said.
I simply can’t help but think that this is the same sort of rhetoric that was thrown about in the past during the movement for equal rights for Blacks (sorry, African-Americans… have to keep up the liberal Pee Cee-ness ;P) in the 50’s.
I was going to say something else, but the more I stare at this guy’s comment, the more I think it speaks for itself. So, I’ll just end on this: What the HELL is wrong with people?
