I don't know if supporting gay rights means you hate America. I support gay rights AND America. I believe liberty is a two-way street. I think that the right wing and left wing are dangerous to American liberity. I think both groups are authoritarian. One hides behind the Bible, the other hides behind socialism. Neither are caring or concerned for anything but their own patholotical narcisistic needs to push their will onto the masses. Supporting anyone's rights is hardly anti-American. But yes, I'm sure this latest Obama appointee is a jackass who thinks that Cuba is the role model America should aspire to. - Mario Sat, 05 Dec 2009 04:27:28 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-4028 "Well well, how about the ACLU!" How about them? Are they advocating for armed revolution? Have they called for violence against our government or their political opponents? No and No. Are they hatching some sort of secret plot to take away our freedoms? Not unless you also believe in the Tooth Fairy. In case you hadn't noticed, the ACLU plays out their mission by working [b]within[/b] the framework of our laws. They argue cases in court and advocate for what they see as the Constitutional rights and civil liberties of [i]all[/i] Americans. Simply because [b]one[/b] of their founders believed that the government should not be a tool of oppression and violence does not make them revolutionaries bent on overthrow. And if you're suggesting that Roger Baldwin's beliefs (which I might add are far closer to actual communism than has ever been tried here on Earth) mean that he hates America, I would suggest you look again. Sure he's talking about radical social and political change, a lot of which I am skeptical about personally. But equating desires for reform with anti-Americanism is not only counter-productive, it's downright intolerant. - Johan B.

For the sake of brevity let us do or homework and not just accept how it makes us feel. Well well, how about the ACLU! I hear the snickering and scoffing at the very notion that this organization bent on the destruction of our way of life would be an advocate for the overthrow of the government. So instead of baseless name calling I will merely quote the founder of the ACLU, Roger Baldwin. (this despite the fact that truth mean nothing to liberals) Ahem...and I quote "I am for socialism, (helluva start eh?- ed. note) disarament and ultimately for abolisihing the state itself as an instrument of volence and compulsion. I seek social ownership of property, the abolition of the propertied class, and sole control by those who produce weath. Communism is the goal". You gotta like how he makes it nice and plain so that even a highly educated Georgetown professor can understand. - liberty not liberalism Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:53:06 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3834 I should have said: Forced equality of outcome is Marxism; Equality before law is American. - Liberty-Clinger Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:21:39 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3830 "you may not like her views, but she plays by the rules. Highly educated, Georgetown Professor, supreme court clerk. seems competent enough." "They (intellectuals) prefer ideas, which give them jobs and income and which enhance their power and prestige...They look for ideas, which enhance the role of the state because the state is usually their main employer, sponsor or donator. That is not all. According to Hayek “the power of ideas grows in proportion to their generality, abstractness, and even vagueness”…Hayek put it clearly: “the intellectual, by his whole disposition, is uninterested in technical details or practical difficulties.” He is interested in visions and utopias and because “socialist thought owes its appeal largely to its visionary character” (and I would add lack of realism and utopian nature), the intellectual tends to become a socialist.…The free market system does not typically reward those who are, in their own eyes, the most meritorious. Because the intellectuals value themselves very highly, they disdain the marketplace. Markets value them differently than their own eyes and, in addition to it, markets function nicely without their supervision. As a result, the intellectuals are suspicious of free markets and prefer being publicly funded. That is another reason, why they are in favour of socialism…” President of the Czech Republic, Václav Klaus http://www.klaus.cz/klaus2/asp/clanek.asp?id=wFYl3mgsTzI6 - Liberty-Clinger Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:59:34 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3829 Chai R. Feldblum: "I believe the enterprise must adhere to a norm of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity." The word "nondiscrimination" means "equalization," which is to say the rights of homosexuals should be equal to heterosexuals. This type of "nondiscrimination" leads to a claim that homosexual couples (I won't call this a marriage) must have an equal right to adopt children, even though children grow up happier in a traditional family with mother and father. There is a self-evident inequality between the two in their fitness to raise children; so discrimination is in this case a good thing, not bad. Equalization is the key; whenever one hears the word "nondiscrimination" substitute the word "equalization;" and whenever you hear the word "discrimination" substitute the word "unequal." Marxists believe in the equalization of nearly everything that is self-evidently unequal. Economic Marxism requires the non-productive proletariat class to be irrationally equalized (no discrimination) in property to the productive middle class even if it results in equal poverty for all (except for the Marxist rulers of course). Affirmative action is a form of Cultural Marxism as it requires a minority race or ethnic group (any class will do) to be irrationally equalized to the majority race or ethnic group (class) during the granting of government contracts or during college admissions procedures rather than an equal application of rules based on business skill and performance, or academic achievement. Inequality of outcomes in life is a natural and healthy expression of individual human nature. People are naturally unequal in their grades on tests; unequal in their goals scored in sports; unequal in their creativity, labor and earned property. What should be equal? People should be equal before law - equal rules - that is it. All else is natural and healthy inequality. Forced equality is Marxism; Equality before law is American. By forcing, through government power (notice Feldblum's use of the phrase "must adhere") equality, i.e.: “nondiscrimination,” between the rights of a heterosexual married couple with that of a homosexual couples Feldblum enjoins Marxism to American law and government. Marxism is an irrational, hate-America political ideology; so it follows that Feldblum is a cultural Marxist (possibly a complete Marxist), and therefore hates America. http://www.academia.org/lectures/lind1.html - Liberty-Clinger Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:46:18 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3827 You don't know what you're talking about. Have you had any personal experience with the woman? She loves this country in a way that you can't possibly fathom. - LegalCookie Fri, 18 Sep 2009 08:55:50 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3826 How about if a gay owned business didn't allow religious folks access? This scenario is identical to that which you believe to be just and right and good. You wish to outlaw homosexuality because your religious tenets say it is wrong. What about religious tenets that say it is not wrong? Those religions should be descriminated against because YOU belong to an opposing religion? I daresay, you have bizarre notions about the Constitution of the United States and what religious freedom entails. It entails allowing the freedom to believe even those things YOU, your self, don't believe. It entails ensuring that ALL humans are treated with dignity and respect. If I spat upon you in public simply because you held conservative christian values you would say I was infringing on your Constitutional rights, but you feel completely justified in doing just that to homosexuals. And you also consider yourself "Christ"-like. Yes, I think I see Christ in you. He would be proud. - Chuck In Chicago Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:11:38 +0100 http://www.rightsidenews.com/200909186480/editorial/if-you-hate-america-you-have-a-lawyer-chai-feldblum.html#comment-3823 Where is it documented that she hates america? has she ever been a member of a group that advocates the overthrow of the country? is she a foreign national? an anarchist? you may not like her views, but she plays by the rules.
