This Nothing New! Liberal Intolerance, and not just in Silicon Valley

How about Black and Women Conservatives, Classic Old Monuments with a Cross in the design … 

Recently, I was invited to a gay wedding. I declined to go. Gay unions are fine and the same contract rights should be issued, but this was just too much in my face. 

People I know treated me as a rube who needed to defend my position. I told them that I have a tradition view of marriage and it has millennia of history. My critics were the ones, I told, to try to defend their position to me.

Mozilla is way out of line. m/r

About Liberal Intolerance in Silicon Valley

April 6, 2014   by Bernard Goldberg


Let’s get something straight:  Liberals are the smart ones.  The tolerant ones.  The open-minded ones.  I know this because liberals are constantly telling me (and everyone else) how smart and tolerant and open-minded they are
Except when they’re not.
The other day Brendan Eich, the CEO of the tech company Mozilla, that created the web browser FIrefox, was forced out of his job and out of the whole company by an employee revolt.  His crime?  In 2008 he contributed $1,000 to a California ballot initiative, Proposition 8, which opposed same-sex marriage.
I have the feeling that if Mozilla had the power to send Eich to a re-education camp, the liberal ayatollahs at the company would have done just that.  Lacking that kind of power, forcing him to resign and give up the job he had held for just 11 days would have to suffice.
For the record, no one is suggesting that Brendan Eich treated gay employees differently than anyone else at Mozilla.
