    Default Why I left the Left

    It articulates very well the intolerance of the likes of Desh, BAC, Cypress and others on here. This sums it up for me, the so called Progressive Left are not progressive anymore but regressive.

    The regressive left has turned many people off with their intolerance and sanctimonious attitudes.

    there is no diversity in the leftist groupthink

    New York Times reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg made the mistake of admitting that along with the abhorrent, violent, white supremacists who terrorized Charlottesville over the weekend, many Antifa protesters were also enacting "hate-filled" violence, as they've done in several other cities in recent months.

    For noting that the "hard left seemed as hate-filled as the alt-right" — citing "club-wielding 'antifa' beating white nationalists being led out of the park" — Stolberg was hammered online, even after repenting and issuing a correction that depicted the violent left in more heroic terms.

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Well Bill, it looks like some of that intolerance has rubbed off, posting in capitals, that's what lunatics do!

    If somebody comes into a cake shop and demands something offensive to be written on a cake, don't they have a perfect right to refuse or does being gay trump that? What's to stop some extreme right wing loonies from demanding their own suitably obnoxious message to be put on a cake?

    Peter Thatchell, whom I'm sure you've never heard of, has changed his mind on this issue and hats off to him for that. I can guarantee that the subtlety of his argument will be way over yours or Rana's head. Thatchell, despite being a prominent gay rights campaigner, is fully aware of the injustice of the original decision in Belfast and took to the left wing Guardian to say as much.

    Do we really need to go over this again?? You don't like THE WAY I TYPE-don't read it, that's what I would do.........

    As I stated, they do not get to play GOD, simple as that-they want to serve the public, then they serve the public-THEY CANNOT PLAY GOD & DECIDE WHAT MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY THEY DON'T LIKE & then discriminate against them.......

    THey don't like it, find another profession, pull yea ass up by the boot straps & leave town or stick you head in a whole..

    Maybe they allow Christians, or Muslims etc to discriminate there, but I heard they aint enough Christians in the entire country to make the argument worthwhile......

    Yes as I predicted you failed comprehensively to appreciate the subtlety of Peter Thatchell's argument.

    I never left the left, I left the Republican Party but I agree with the above. Leftists have become completely intolerant toward anyone who disagrees with them on almost any subject. I attribute it to TDS but that's not an excuse for them. They need to somehow find a cure because it only alienates normal people.
