Libs are intolerant

Just as Chik-Fil-A came out against gay marriage, there are those who oppose this stance. It's hard for me to support the idea that there is some special kind of outrage that should be reserved for those who don't care to support an intolerant view. In the end, there is nothing wrong with putting one's money where one's mouths is.

A vote of more than 2/3rds supported a decision - made by

two other colleges not to (financially) support a business whose misguided leaders thrust their company into the political arena with their well publicized anti-gay stance. In any political setting, 2/3rds is enough to override any potential veto.

What's going on here is elected student body reps are doing the jobs they were entrusted with....to represent students in an issue on which they evidently have an impressive majority backing. They have every right to participate in the process of choosing which values are promoted and represented on their campus.

I find it mind-boggling that some folks would try to equate removing ChikFilA from a campus to "discrimination" of the kind to which gays have been and continue to be subjected. Boycotts against businesses and corporations are a viable form of political protest, and ones that the GOP does not hesitate to use when it suits their purpose:

For starters, the American Family Association has organized it's share of boycotts in the past, including Disney and Home Depot for offering benefits to their same-sex partners of its employees. Other AFA targeted companies include 7-Eleven, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Airlines, American Girl, Blockbuster Video, Burger King, Calvin Klein, Carl's Jr., Clorox, Comcast, Crest, Ford, Hallmark Cards, Kmart, Kraft Foods, S. C. Johnson & Son, Movie Gallery, Microsoft, MTV, Mary Kay, NutriSystem, Old Navy, IKEA, Sears, Pampers, Procter & Gamble, Target, Tide, and PepsiCo.

Scott Van Duzer's pizzeria in Florida was boycotted after he gave President Barack Obama a bear hug and lifted him off the ground during a stump stop at the establishment.

AZ's GOP vice chairman tried unsuccessfully to organize a boycott against companies who advertise in the Phoenix New Times because of articles and editorials they published that were critical of him and the Tea Party's bigoted agendas.

Romney, Perry, Huntsman, Cain, and Bachmann boycotted Univision's primary debate because they did not agree with the way they reported about Mark Rubio's reluctance to appear on their network to face tough questions on immimgration reform.

Libertarians called for a boycott against Carbonite, Pro-Flowers, Quicken Loans, LegalZoom.com, software maker Citrix Inc., and Sleep Number Mattresses after they pulled their ads from Rush Limbaugh's show during his tirade against Sandra Fluke.

I could go on, but suffice to say that the hypocrisy of Fox's self-righteous indignation over college students exercising their 1st amendment rights and their efforts to create a controversy over "nothing new" is tiresome and ineffective.

I've spent the past 2 months marveling at the ignorance of the left with respect to President Trump. Ignorance? Yes - BLIND ignorance, which is the failure to grasp the simple fact that Trump is neither a conservative, a liberal, an independent, a socialist, a libertarian or ANYTHING ELSE. Trump could have been played like a fiddle because he's not married to any particular political viewpoint - but the left blew their chance to cultivate an environment of influenc ...
