Wow... pretty amazing nobody sees anything in that thread that can threaten anyone.  I really wonder who is and is not reading it.

Everyone wants to hear that it's everyone else's fault.  The majority blaming the minority is even better... since the majority can control the vote.  Hitler figured this out and rallied a nation around it.  Just look at all the good things that came from it.

Big difference between an individual not accepting what he may feel is wrong and acting on those feelings in a way which could be hurtful....dontcha think?

Why do liberals feel that everyone must accept their viewpoints in order to be tolerant? Why can't an individual hold their own belief without being labeled intolerant by the left....seems kind of intolerant to me.

LOL. Oh that's right, the "Right wingers" here never resort to Ad Hominem attacks. That's just plain "redikulous." :rolleyes:

Now you have a problem with the majority vote?

The Hitler reference is a little extreme....common from the left....still extreme.

To me it just seemed like a bunch of mildly racist platitudes.

There's a problem with majority votes when it reinforces fanatical extremism. MiniD was giving you an example of only one situation of where democracy went bad. Hitler didn't gain power on his own. He victimized the Jewish citizens for all of Germany's problems.... Need I go on?

BTW, why the need to blame the "liberals" for seemingly every other thread?

Care to actually name ANY "liberals" here that fall under your classification...or do you just like the Ad Hominem style?

Hmmm, according to Funked, you must be a "liberal" ;)

Name the "right wing conservatives" here that are tolerant of liberal viewpoints. Kind of works both ways, no?
