Soros, Clinton, Obama Targeted with Bomb Threats

Gee,  what a pessimist.   I don't think this has changed a thing. 

If anything I am even more disgusted with the D.s.

I took it at as a poke at his virtue signaling.

Safe to say none of the regulars here would tolerate such talk in the workplace.

That talk is for the internet where it is documented and retained by the NSA for ever.

Something like that. The victim class are holy, and the faithful are eager to pledge their devotion.

Surprising as it may be, many of us just don't have a problem with gay people.  Perhaps you can discuss your beliefs with Mr. Sayoc, who will no doubt like having a pen pal while he is in Federal prison.

I think you're either reaching too far or seeing some anti gay bias that isn't there.

I am sure Fistful is a friend to all kittens, puppies and LGTBQ people.  We should strive to be like him.

[Perd Hapley]

Well, this is silly. Millcreek, I awarded you "woke points" because you made a point of telling us all how you would have punished the bad man. As Ron pointed out, it seems like gratuitous virtue-signalling, and I very mildly teased you about it. What, did you think I was sticking up for the guy?

Really? You mean there are people who "don't have a problem" with homosexuality, and like to discuss their beliefs all over the internet, and load down TV shows and movies with homosexual characters, and put rainbows everywhere? Yeah, I noticed. That's why it goes without saying that you'd fire the guy.

For the record, I have neither a bias against, nor a "problem with gay people." I have simply continued to believe (by and large) what most Americans believed about homosexuality when I was a child, and I have seen no reason to change that. It is neither a bias, nor a "problem" that I have. It is simply a normal, traditional point of view.

I hope that helps explain things.

[Ron]

Just shut up and bake the damn cake Fistful.

[Ron]

Millcreek supports using the force of government to impose the redefinition of family and marriage upon all of society and somehow fistful is the radical one for questioning the wisdom of such top down pronouncements.

Of course Millcreek can probably pull a “scientifically” done meta analysis done by “scientists” out of his fourth point of contact proving that lgbt relationships are exactly the same or superior to heterosexual couplings.

The hubris of performing such a massive society wide experiment upon pretty much the whole of the western world with zero regard for the unknown unintended consequences is mind boggling.

What has occurred isn’t tolerance, it’s social engineering.

Let’s tamper with civilizations foundational building block and see what happens!

Fools

Huh. So it is not that unusual for mail to be delivered without the postage stamps being cancelled.

[Ben]

Lets please remain polite here. For the record, I took "lesbian" in Millcreek's post as a placeholder. That could have been "Christian", "Jew", "gun owner", or "old white guy". I read it as keeping your contentious opinions out of the workplace.

This.^^^^^

The distressing thing about the notion of "celebrate diversity" is its reach beyond tolerance into social engineering.  One can recognize that there are myriads of flavors of humans with respect to beliefs and physical appearance.  The fact remains that there are still only two sexes with respect to humans;  male and female, with the odd genetic mashup such as an hermaphrodite.  That's reality.  Beliefs held many times goes much further as we've seen and are experiencing.  My beliefs accept the fact that it is civilized to acknowledge various beliefs.  I don't have to agree with them though, insofar as I am able I should be tolerant of them.  To have beliefs shoved down my throat including using the force of law is not acceptable and is patently wrong.

I used to believe that,  and now we have "Bake the cake and throw me a parade,  or else".

I know what you mean by that last.  But some of these idiots think any mention of contrary beliefs is "shoving it down their throat".  They don't want tolerance, they want submission to their viewpoint.  It bothers me that too many corporations and others seem to back up that view in their actions.

Decades ago I worked in a mail room.  No, it was  not unusual to sometimes see a letter come in without postmark. 

Which is not the whole question, re the supposed bombs.

Interesting.  However, have we seen pictures of any but the one? 

Have any of you heard about the "explosive" used?  Or maybe I should ask if any of the bombs were capable of exploding?

From what I have hearing, his social media was full on leftist a few weeks prior this and then it was all changed to look like a conservative.  The stickers on the van were all new and not faded. 

Yeah, I am suspicious.  Don't know about conspiracy, but the guy seemed to be trying to craft an image of himself prior to mailing a bunch of "bombs".

[KD5NRH]

IIRC, one article referred to explosive as "an energetic sulfur compound."

Nothing more potent than BP comes to mind that would normally be described that way.

There are plenty of crazy conservatives in this world.  Until I see something actually credible, I'm not going to pretend that the steroid addled bouncer/Part Time DJ came up with a master plan to hide his political leanings and fake Republican for this event.  That would seem to be pretty impressive for a someone with his demonstrated level of success at life.

I thought I saw somewhere that it was "re-purposed" from fireworks.

Agreed. Tolerance means "tolerating." Tolerance does not have to include celebrating and rewarding, and it certainly doesn't have to include brainwashing to cause people with malleable minds (such as children) to think that they are or must be or should be something that they aren't. "Tolerating" means putting up with. I don't like broccoli, but when my late wife served broccoli I ate it. That's tolerance. I didn't go out of my way to seek out broccoli with every meal.

I believe that homosexuality is contrary to the Bible. I tolerate homosexuals if I am put in situations where/when I have to interact with them but I don't seek them out, and my tolerance does not extend (nor does it need to extend) to encouraging their lifestyle, or to changing my thinking to NOT believing that homosexuality is contrary to Scripture.

I will have to keep an eye out.  Something I heard, but no link.  We will see.  What I see on a quick search is just that he was a crazy chemtrails guy who didn't like socialists.  I at least wouldn't call him conservative.

Then depending on what fireworks, it could be BP or simply flash powder.
