“I don’t mind hanging out at bars with friends but like you I get irritated when it’s so loud you can’t hear each other. ”

When I’m at the bar with my friends, I usually am wishing they would turn it up louder so that I don’t have to hear any more of their self-congradulatory liberal blather. That’s right! Most of my freinds are godless America-haters, just like Obama, John Lennon, Mao Tse-Tung*, and those guys that do the BCC podcasts. I’d get some new friends with political views closer to my own, but then I wouldn’t know where to score any reefer, daddy-o.

* That would be Mao Zedong for all you idiots that aren’t satisfied that we called it PEKING when _I_ was in grade school, and we still had things like mothers and honey bees!!!

FIll in the blank (from the start of the zeitcast).

“BCC tolerates dissent, but not ___________.”

Brian, tell me truly. WHen you jump right into a conversation by describing sombody’s offhand remarks as elitist uniformed blathering, and go on to say that those views are spoonfed and something to be ashamed of, and finish off by displaying your ignorance by saying it is ridiculous that Pres. Benson was admonished by his quorum, do you really expect people to welcome you?

Nobody here know you. I assure you that there are people who participate regularly who political views would make John birch himself stand up and salute. The trick is to be polite and friendly. It really isn’t too much to ask, is it?

I can guarantee that if McCain picked Huckabee as a VP that Obama would have a huge chance in Utah. I think many Utahns are a bit underwhelmed by McCain as is.

Brian,
Sorry. I thought that since you opened by calling Utah liberals deluded, wanna-be popular high school kids that you would expect some name-calling.
On with the diversity. I’ll continue trying to devise a way to make Bethany Clarke like me.

Come, come. This is BCC. Brian can be disappointed AND mad.

Well, Bri, at least they haven’t banned you. Then you’d be mad instead of disappointed.

“Am I to understand that diversity of opinion is not welcome on this blog?”

Nope.

“I am misunderstanding something here?”

Yep.

“Why the intolerance?”

Scorn begets plugged ears. Your tone is incredibly rude.

“Dissappointed.”

Then change your tone and try again.

Let me make sure I understand. Utah Mormons are belittled because so many are Republicans. I point this out, and express dissappointment about this content. I am then attacked for pointing this out.

Am I to understand that diversity of opinion is not welcome on this blog?

I am misunderstanding something here? Why the intolerance?

Dissappointed.
