everyone has to fit a certain mold you know.

if someone is offended by something and another is no then obviously the person offended is in the wrong, right?

i thought that was a trademark of the left but after a few years at fr i've found i was very mistaken.

You're so right.

I too used to think that vicious ridicule and ad hominem, in the place of rational argument, were hallmarks exclusively of the rabid Left. But we find plenty of that going on here too.

"Idiot" "moron" "stupid" "holier-than-thou" "bible-thumping" "Taliban-wing" "prude" "prig" "dirty-minded" "gutter guy" (LOL, I'm not sure how to reconcile the last few) --all those terms were hurled at those of us who dared to voice criticism of the First Lady's act.

Now that Wlady Pleszczynski and Michelle Malkin, two obviously intelligent, sane, and non-fanatically Christian commentators have come out and said the same things we were saying, some of these invective-throwers are in full panic.

They never did have any good arguments, so all they could do was get nasty and personal --without any basis.

And yeah. I do feel vindicated.

You just said a mouth full there. This is truly proof positive that the liberal mindset that everyone has the right to not be offended has spread well into certain conservative corners.

No, everybody has the right to be offended "Unalienable Rights: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Offendness"
