Quote:And last but not least, I think that the most hypocritical position of this century is the left claiming the banner of civil rights and human decency because they rush to absorb support of the lgbt community, when in reality it was the left that philibustered the civil rights act, the voting rights act, put MLK under surveillance, a democratic president called him a [BAD WORD REMOVED] the southern states who left the union were mostly democrat and oh yes, last but not least, the democratic party today as we speak has argued and maintained that before we have the right to be gay straight marry or life a bohemian lifestyle we don't fundamentally have the right to breathe or exist as humans in our mothers womb.  This alone has led to the inane slaughter of some 70 million people, most of whom were women and minorities.  That's six times greater than the holocaust.  I don't want to hear anyone lecture me about freedom and equal rights while lynch mobs are closing down bakeries and flower shops that THEPY won't tolerate and standing idly by while we slaughter over a million unborn children a year for simple convenience. 

 

You are confusing "the left" with a particular political party. Southern Democrats from before the Civil War through the Jim Crow era were no more leftists than members of the John Birch society.

 

Just because the scale of slavery and discrimination of African-Americans is greater than that of denying the rights of people who want to enjoy the benefits of people who want to legally marry doesn't make the comparison invalid.

 

The debate over abortion is a completely different matter, one likely not a topic for discussion here due to board restrictions.
