One of the things I've been asking myself and others - how do the left and Progressives in general reconcile their seeming support of Islamic fundamentalists with their world-view? Especially how can feminists and gays do so? Well, here's a gay man who left the US because of his experience of and dislike for, Christian intolerance regarding gays, and went to Europe, because they're beyond all that. Only, they aren't. They are letting intolerance fester in a huge way. Speaking of intolerance... South Park's Chef is all about satirizing people... until his own ox gets gored.... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html Tue, 14 Mar 2006 10:42:34 -0600 If you can't make fun of a religion whose belief system is centered around an alien warlord who came to earth to cast beings into volcanoes to begin the world, then what exactly CAN you make fun of? And Tom Cruise is a card-carrying member. I think he has the rank of "pope" or something near it. 'Nuff said. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html#comment-42467 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html#comment-42467 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 16:53:53 -0600 I've been asking myself the same question, about how my fellow feminists* and our gay friends and family members can be "tolerant" of radical Islam. I am quick to remind them that we would be the FIRST in their world to be tortured and killed. I can think of no worse place in the world to be female or gay, and I often wish I had the chance to go back 20 years and join the Marines so I could fight this good fight. Leftists (the non-pacifist ones) will talk of "the good fight," in reference to certain Latin American revolutions, the Spanish Civil War, the American Civil War, and some others. I don't understand why they don't see the fight against radical Islam as "a good fight." *"fellow" feminist is probably an oxymoron. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html#comment-42464 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/03/bright_shiny_objects.html#comment-42464 Tue, 14 Mar 2006 15:30:33 -0600
