(135,425 posts)41. Way to miss the point and join in an enthusiasm for unbridled bigotry.
The OP denigrates one group, and raises up a bunch of others.
That's rank discrimination on the basis of religion, race, and a variety of other affiliations.
It is a bigoted approach and I don't think it belongs on DU.
Criticize people for their ACTIONS. Don't criticize people for their affiliations, unless their affiliations are uniformly problematic (the Nazi Party, for example).
Just because a person has conservative religious views (like the people I have mentioned elsewhere in this thread) does not mean they will act in a bigoted way towards anyone. Saying so is a bridge way too far.
Shame.
