I expected it. I also expected this type of response after reading Gribbit's post. I see where the leftys are coming from in their comparisons of the NSA to Orwellian thought. I also see where Gribbit is coming from. Trying to force your beliefs on someone else in order for them to have the same benefits as others is Orwellian. I don't care how intolerant the beliefs are, America is supposed to be about freedom. I don’t mind you posting a response on this post. I expected it.

Rational XXXIV Wed, 12 Jul 2006 05:04:21 +0000 http://stoptheaclu.dreamhosters.com/archives/2006/07/11/scout-decision-going-to-supreme-court/#comment-53244 This comment is aimed more at Gribbit's post, but for obvious reasons I have to put it here. Since it's more or less on the same topic, I hope you don't mind that I place it under this post. There are many contemporary things to which one could compare Orwell's <i>1984</i>: The NSA's phone record spying, the NSA's financial record spying, pretty much anything the NSA has done in the last couple of years. But honestly, Berkeley not allowing a potentially discriminatory group access to a public marina? <i>That</i> is Orwellian? If the Boy Scouts insist upon barring homosexuals, atheists, or anyone else for that matter, then the government should cut all ties with them. I haven't read up on the Berkeley case all that much, but I think the question lies in whether or not the Sea Scouts are affiliated closely enough with the Boy Scouts. I really, really hope you can see the difference between supporting tolerance and supporting intolerance, but from what you wrote, I don't know that you can. Jay, I'm about to thank you for the second time today, believe it or not. Thanks for showing some restraint with your post on the subject. This really is an interesting constitutional question, and I can actually understand both sides of the argument. It'll be an interesting one to follow.
