Above: Christian youth exercising their constitutional liberties to freedom of religion, assembly and expression. What's wrong with that? It is, after all, America, the brightest beacon of freedom in the world. Right?
More than 25,000 evangelical Christian youth landed Friday in San Francisco for a two-day rally at AT&T Park against "the virtue terrorism" of popular culture, and they were greeted by an official city condemnation and a clutch of protesters who said their event amounted to a "fascist mega-pep rally."
"Battle Cry for a Generation" is led by a 44-year-old Concord native, Ron Luce, who wants "God's instruction book" to guide young people away from the corrupting influence of popular culture.
Luce, whose Teen Mania organization is based in Texas, kicked off a three-city "reverse rebellion" tour Friday night intended to counter a popular culture that he says glamorizes violence and sex. The $55 advance tickets for two days of musical performances and speeches were sold out, but walk-up admission was available for $199.
Sounds good. Regular folk exercising their constitutional liberties and making their voices heard. Right?
Unfortunately not:
Unfortunately not:
...Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, who told counterprotesters at City Hall on Friday that while such fundamentalists may be small in number, "they're loud, they're obnoxious, they're disgusting, and they should get out of San Francisco."
See? The left doesn't want Christians to enjoy the same civil liberties as they do.
A Democrat, of course. "Small in number"? There were 25,000 people!
My-0-my... just marvel at the wondrous tolerance and openness of the left!
Nope... they're bloody intolerant, the left. They are infamous for all sorts of "loud, obnoxious, disgusting" stuff of their own. Click here to see some examples of the civilized, rational, calm left. (Warning: extremely offensive, includes some nudity w/medically dangerous genital manipulation in public).
"Get out of San Francisco?" You know, if a conservative person said that about, say, suspected/known terrorists, the left would be up in arms and screaming, "racist"!
Now... why is it it's okay for left-wing extremists to go around behaving as you saw in the photographs at Zombietime.com but it's not okay for Christian youth to have a peaceful rally simply stating what their own values are and inviting folks to come join them?
How can anyone believe the left when it claims to be tolerant of others regardless of differences?
And notice how the left is virtually silent regarding the threats to the life of a newly-converted Christian in Afghanistan? And the way they simultaneously scream terrible epithets at these Christian youth exercising their civil rights?
Is the left fundamentally anti-Christian as well as anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-America?
