             Liberals on Intolerance
    
    As a registered Democrat (a very Conservative
    Democrat, that is), I get to see, firsthand,
    what goes on in my party.
    
    Now, let's look at the backbone of the
    Democratic Party - the liberals. Within their
    credo - the credo of the outward liberals and
    those posing as "moderates" - is TOLERANCE.
    They accuse the Republican Party of being
    "intolerant" towards alternate lifestyles,
    beliefs and morality.
    
    * ACT-UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power)
    and various feminist and pro-choice groups,
    attacked the St. Patrick's Cathedral in
    Chicago, Illinois, in December of 1989. They
    desecrated the Host and totally disrupted the
    Mass.
    * On Saturday Night Live, in October of 1992,
    Sinead O'Connor tore up a picture of the Pope
    on television, saying "fight the real enemy."
    * On Murphy Brown, conservatives are portrayed
    constantly as almost bumbling idiots, with
    nowhere near the substance of character or
    credibility as ultra-liberal Murphy Brown. 
    * Jesse Jackson's infamous comment, "welcome
    to Hymietown" - an insult to the Jewish
    population of that city - has gone largely
    ignored and/or forgiven by the media.
    * The efforts by Senator Jesse Helms and
    others, to remove funding from the National
    Endowment for the Arts, because of obscene art
    including obscene insults against
    Christianity, were viciously attacked by the
    liberals and the media.
    * Movies like "The Last Temptation," which
    depict Jesus Christ committing acts completely
    contradictory to what was said of Him in the
    Bible, would be called grossly anti-Semitic if
    reconfigured against Jewish beliefs, or Racist
    if used against African-Americans. But against
    Christianity? It is merely "an alternative"
    view of Christianity...
    * 200 chapters of the National Organization
    for Women joined conservative and liberal
    efforts in Congress to pass a law that would
    hold adult filmmakers liable for those who
    attributed watching their movies, to their
    having killed someone. To put this in
    perspective, just a few years earlier,
    pro-choice groups in Maryland scrambled to
    keep hidden the fact that an unlicensed
    abortion clinic was killing, paralyzing and
    brain-damaging women, literally right and
    left. To put this in further perspective, none
    of these groups had considered that far more
    people kill because they said they were
    motivated by the Bible, than by porn flicks..
    yet they were not trying to legislate the
    right to bring the kinds of lawsuits against
    Bible publishers that they were trying to make
    porn distributors vulnerable to.
    * Two pro-lifers in Albany, CA, were holding
    up signs on a public street corner, exercising
    their First Amendment rights to free speech,
    only to be faced with a hostile crowd, after
    which they were arrested. Because they were
    not being violent or confrontational, they
    were charged with obscenity: holding up
    pictures of dead fetuses. And in San
    Francisco, in the same state, homosexual
    rights groups frequently demonstrate, many of
    whom parade half or fully nude. Also, peace
    activists there, burned a patrol car in
    protest of the Persian Gulf War. And in
    addition, California Governor Pete Wilson's
    veto of AB-101, a controversial homosexual
    rights bill, incited homosexual rights
    activists to break into two State buildings,
    attack the police with mace, burn trash cans,
    and generally cause at least thousands of
    dollars in damage. Pete Wilson himself had
    food thrown at him while speaking, because of
    this veto. Yet, in all of these acts, there
    are hardly ever any arrests, and hardly any
    laws being considered against them like that
    which is being considered against quiet,
    peaceful picketing of abortion clinics.
    * After the Vietnam War, veterans who returned
    to America, were spit on, beat up, and
    rendered homeless, jobless, and darn near
    clueless, at the hands of peace activists and
    liberals who now run our schools, the media,
    Hollywood, and the Democratic Party. One war
    protestor from this generation, Bill Clinton,
    has now won the US Presidency, largely because
    the facts about his generation and their
    intolerance, was called "irrelevant" and a
    "non-issue" by the media. Truly, if Americans
    had been reminded that Bill Clinton's class of
    people had been responsible for the hell that
    Vietnam Veterans received when they came home,
    perhaps it would be back to the Drawing Board
    for the Democrats' White House Quest...
    * Pennsylvania Governor Robert Casey, the
    Democrat whose cabinet has the most women
    among all the Democrat high executives in this
    nation, and whose child support laws are the
    best in the nation, and who won a record
    landslide re-election bid, taking 68% of the
    vote and every one of his state's counties...
    was not allowed to speak at the 1992
    Democratic National Convention. Why? Because
    he is a pro-life Democrat.
    * Gov. Robert Casey has been shouted down by
    ACT-UP, WHAM (Women's Health Action
    Mobilization), and other loud minority fringe
    groups, wherever he has tried to speak. And
    the "tolerant" liberals are not around to
    fight this intolerance.
    * Judge Clarence Thomas, during his Supreme
    Court confirmation hearings, was attacked by
    Anita Hill over alleged charges of sexual
    harassment. Even though Anita Hill was proven
    to have no credibility, even though Clarence
    Thomas was tried and proven innocent by
    Congress, and even though there was not a
    shred of evidence to back up Anita Hill's
    claims, the Democrats used this to put
    Clarence Thomas in a bad light, and start a
    women's Congressional movement. All in
    vengeance for what the Senate did to Anita
    Hill. (Which was basically a response to the
    fact that Anita Hill had no proof of what she
    said.)
    * Gloria Allred, a feminist lawyer and very
    powerful vertebrae in the Liberal Backbone of
    the Democratic Party, said of Rush Limbaugh:
    "Occasionally, I'm flicking through and I hear
    him and say to myself, 'Don't listen!'... I'm
    still trying to sort out what I'm permitted to
    laugh at and what is not politically
    acceptable for me to laugh at." (Vanity Fair,
    May 1992) Is this not a blatant example of
    intolerance and taboo in the Liberal movement,
    of which the Democratic Party has been the
    most powerful part? They are now deciding what
    is and is not acceptable to laugh at. They are
    doing what they say is wrong about society -
    they are crushing people's individuality and
    their feelings, when they are responding in
    ways that go against the Party Line. This
    would be justified if Rush Limbaugh were a
    racist or a Nazi, but he is neither.
    * African-Americans treated Judge Clarence
    Thomas like a complete outsider during his
    confirmation hearings. The National
    Association for the Advancement of Colored
    People (NAACP), went absolutely hogwild when
    their Los Angeles, CA chapter, had decided to
    support Clarence Thomas. African-American
    activists around the country, referred to him
    in very derogatory terms, and unlike the
    commonfolk who supported him, according to the
    polls, they tried to join the NOW's efforts to
    "Bork" Clarence Thomas. All because Clarence
    Thomas is a Conservative.
    * Liberals have never, ever, gotten their act
    together when it comes to consistently judging
    religious bigotry. The American People have
    consistently considered acts of hate against
    Christians, to be logically just as bad as
    acts of intolerance against Christians, or any
    other faith. But while the Liberals honorably
    and justifiably denouce acts of hate against 
    Jews, they are nowhere to be found when the
    exact same things are being perpetrated upon
    Christians. Whoops. I goofed. Liberals ARE
    around when Christians are being assaulted -
    virtually everyone who busted into St.
    Patrick's Cathedral during that act of hate,
    was a Liberal. There weren't too many hard
    right-wingers, Naziists or Christian Rightists,
    helping to attack the Mass that day (though
    Naziists do not get along with the Christian
    Right in the US because, for instance, the 
    Christian Right directly fought Naziists like
    former Louisiana Gubernatorial candidate David
    Duke, who lost the election)...
    
    
    
    Do you see a pattern? The Democratic Party has
    never moved against these relentless waves of
    super-intolerance, and in fact, they seem to
    be in support of quite a bit of it. They
    attack those who diverge from their Party
    Line, they ignore the outright harassment and
    persecution of those who disagree with them,
    and then they tell you that they are the
    tolerance movement, the Freedom movement, the
    Civil Libertarians of society.
    
    The lesson: oppose the Democrats' and
    Liberals' stands on the issues, and you will
    find out very fast that they do not tolerate
    your presence, much less your mouth, in any
    way whatsoever. And they will do whatever it
    takes to shut you up - either by direct action
    against you, such as the case of Governor
    Robert Casey, or inaction against those who
    attack you.
    
    I know that the Republican Party and the Right
    in general, has a tolerance problem. Pat
    Buchanan said up front that we are having a
    religious war for the soul of America.
    Clearly, he was drawing a line in the sand and
    declaring war on liberalism and the "I'm okay,
    you're okay," anti-judgmental, anti-arbitrary
    values system. He is not all that tolerant of
    liberalism, and neither is Pat Robertson or a
    number of the Republican Right - or, for that
    matter, some Right wingers in the Democratic
    Party. (Remember, the many of the votes that
    have saved George Bush's and Ronald Reagan's
    vetoes, were delivered by Democrats.)
    I do not contest, under any circumstances,
    that intolerance is a part of the values
    system of the Republican Right. But I do
    applaud them for being up front, honest and
    straightforward with their intentions. The
    Right tells you what they want and they tell
    you that they intend to get it, and that they
    strongly dislike their opponents.
    
    
    HOWEVER, I do have a problem when the
    Democratic Left or Democratic Center, claims
    to be nearly religiously tolerant, and they
    ignore acts of intolerance committed in their
    names, by the commonfolk faithful - the
    backbone of my Party. I do have a problem when
    their credo includes a huge commitment to
    tolerance, when they become blatantly
    intolerant to influential, powerful and highly
    contributive members of their own Party,
    because they have disagreements on single
    issues. To accuse the Republican Right of
    intolerance, much less extremism, is an example 
    of the pot calling the kettle black. 

    
    So the next time the Democrats and their
    faithful followers refer to Right Wingers as
    Nazi's, you just recall one late, great
    government that had professed to be the enemy
    of your enemy. That government, like the
    Democratic Party, was itself intolerant of its
    enemies, though decidedly unlike the Democrats
    and liberals, they killed 10 million people
    before signing a non-aggression pact with
    Hitler. All while fighting Naziism. If Naziism
    is the evolution of Conservatism, then this
    nation was the ultimate result of liberalism. 
    
    That ultimate evolution was Communism under
    the Soviet Union, and its leader was Iosif
    Visarionovich Dzugashvili, AKA Joseph Stalin.
    The only dictator in modern times to inflict
    more death than Adolf Hitler.
    
    
    Be glad, folks, that the Republicans are
    honest about their stands, the validity of
    their stands being debatable. Beware, however,
    of your self-proclaimed friends, the Democratic
    Party. You may find their political knife in
    your back the first time you oppose their
    views.
    Perhaps that is just the way life goes - those
    who oppose the system in power, incur great risk. But 
    at least the Democrats can do us all the favor 
    of being honest and telling us up-front the 
    fact that if you oppose the Democratic Party's
    worldview, you act on it at your peril.
