Entry: Gag Order Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/gag_order#29965 Post contents: "As a libertarian atheist who has observed the persecution by christians of nonbelievers over the centuries (think the Salem witch trials), it is with a sense of satisfaction that I witness these obnoxious prudes getting a dose of their own medicine." Atheists and Leftists always seize on a few anecdotal acts of intolerance over the 2000 years span of Christianity and inflate them, drama queen style, into a permanent judgment on an entire civilization. What they ignore is that Western civilization and all its fruits, including classical liberalism, are a manifestation of Christian civilization. Almost all left liberals (who's narcissism is so severe their "liberalism" is now morphing into hedonism) are, and have been for decades, accomplishing nothing so much as the infantile act of biting the hand that feeds. Their mentality is reminiscent of Bolshevism for a reason, and totalitarianism is where it will inevitably lead. Oh, but they "showed" those Christians, didn't they. Kind of like a self-absorbed teenager denied the keys to the car who then sneaks out at night, steals it, and drives it into a tree. How mature. No wonder left-liberals and Neocons/Neolibs are so indifferent to Constitutional restraints: they are too emotionally and intellectually stunted to appreciate our Western heritage, and thus too selfish to see that it is handed down to succeeding generations.
