Why do liberals ban/boycott things they disagree with?

Please stop insulting chimpanzees, small or large.

I suppose your point is that conservatives do not preach tolerance so it's OK for them.

Liberal logic:

"I'm right, anyone who disagrees with me, is wrong"

That's it in a nutshell

That's why I became a lifelong conservative at the tender age of 12. Conservatives do not believe in banning things. If others are into something that we don't care for then more power to them. To each their own, that's our motto!

right, except for the government. If you lose a vote in the house of representatives, it's ok to shut down the government.

There are some falsehoods being tossed out here with regards to university speeches. When Obama was invited to speak at graduation at Notre Dame in 2009, conservatives tried everything they could to get the invitation rescinded. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed, but he was still heckled at the speech.

So are you saying there are some things where you are right and those that disagree with that stance are also right?

I think it's appropriate to ban things that affect my freedom. You are free to do what you want when you want unless it affects me negatively. Republicans seem to be the ones that want to ban things that don't effect anyone. An example of this being same sex marriage.

How on earth can a person not see that banning same sex marriage directly affects those interested in said marriage? You know, their freedom - as you put it - to marry whomever they want.

Ultimately, what they want is to control the behavior of others without having to change their own behavior. The term "guilt" comes to mind as the most recent buzzword for liberal think.

With things like boycotts, you will notice that simple minds believe that there are simple solutions to problems.

They are hypocrites!

Does this whole thread mean conservatives are liberals? After all, conservatives believe liberals are always wrong in everything they do...

Hmm, maybe there's another issue here that doesn't involve liberal/conservative/whatever you wanna call yourself... Who am I kidding, 99% of people don't even have two brain cells rubbing together to comprehend what I just said.

"Let's celebrate diversity everybody... just as long as we adhere to my version of the term."

Like the House Republican boycotting the Pope's speech because of a disagreement over climate change?
