What is this I see?

The Brownshirts - 1933

The Brownshirts - 2008

Ah, the new age is here and examples of love and tolerance can be seen everywhere for all to see, like these:

300 protest outside Mormon Church, CHP closes Highway 13 ramps.

Prop 8 Protestors Spray Graffitti on Mormon Church in Orangevale.

Prop. 8 protesters target Mormon temple in Westwood

Mormon Missionaries Attacked By Mob, Stabbed.

76-year-old man and 77-year-old wife were physically assaulted by Prop 8 supporter.

Vandals attack homes owned by Prop 8 supporters.

I could go on for days with more examples of the peace, love and tolerance that flows from the new leaders of world 'love and tolerance'. How ironic that those who calmly lecture the rest of us for the acceptance of alternate lifestyles can so quickly revert to animalistic and decidedly undemocratic behavior in blatant attempt to bully their neighbors into submission and to attack their beliefs with violence. If this had been any other sort of sign you can imagine, whos intent it was to intimidate the people within the house for their beliefs, the reaction would have been quite different. Condemnation, arrest, disgust would be the reaction of the public at large, and it would be the correct reaction by all. And yet, because its directed towards Mormon, its met with titters and laughter by the at large public.

Somehow I feel like I've seen this show before and I didnt much like it last time.

No one should be made to live in fear. It does not change anything at all in the argument to change the sign from the word "BIGOT" to something else. Spend a few minutes yourself and replace the word "BIGOT" with any noun you wish to choose; try out a few 'colorful' ones just for fun. You see, The effect is the same. The righteousness of your argument does not undo the damage done to the the induvidual its being used against. Once called a "Bigot" there is no undoing it. You are, simply because someone else chooses to make you one.

That they would do this to a person at all is beyond disgust to me, but that they decide to take up this horror on this, the 170th anniversary of the issuance of the Mormon Extermination Order by the Govenor of Missouri and the 70th anniversary of Kristalnacht in Nazi Germany is a reminder of how thin the tissue is that holds our collective memory and its resulting morality together and how once its torn, there is no length that the minority will go to impress its will on the majority through acts of quiet terror.

This is a small warning to all of us who see it for what it is. If this sort of strong arm bullying of Mormons is allowed to go on as acceptable behaviour by society as a whole, if we allow people to fear for their lives and their property by quietly accepting this sort of terror as normal, If the targeting of individuals for expressing their votes is to be met with political terrorism, if people will start to fear for their jobs and their property because they speak their minds, then which of us will dare express ourselves when the firehose of leftwing 'thug politics' is turned on us?

The message here should be clear. This isnt about Mormons, Mormonism or their belief system, so dont start arguing theology with me as a way to justify the crimes of the left towards Mormons. Its about Democracy and your right to even have a voice at all. The Mormons are a minority in all but a few places in the world. Yet, they are an organization with billions of dollars and millions of members in their church and at their disposal.

If the thugs can take the right to vote from the Mormons through acts of brutality and everyone else turns a blind eye to it while its done, because, you know, "its just the Mormons", how long do you think you can stand up to them?

Be warned. Those who think I'm overreacting need to simply tell me how far should I let this sort of thuggery go on before I should get upset? Should I wait until Mormons are regularly kept from possible employment in certain companies and industries? Should I wait till playwrights are praised for their anti-mormon writings? Should I wait till Mormons are always portrayed in a negative light in film and literature? Should I wait until pre employment background checks reveal your political support and thus your religion to your employer? Should I wait until people and property are attacked and brought to public ridicule for their beliefs?

Oh. Most of those things have already happened, and not just back in 1933. Its happening now. Pehaps its too late already, eh?

So,how far? and for how long? You come tell me, oh lovers of "peace and tolerance", and when you do I've got some books I want you to read.
