Well-reasoned, rational response

When those on the political left are confronted with ideas that diverge from their ideology, they always answer with well-thought out, well-reasoned, rational responses...not at all!

Please! The left knows no other response than that witnessed at Smith College earlier this month.

Rioting lesbians have stormed a speech by "Born Gay Hoax" author Ryan Sorba on the campus of Smith College in Massachusetts, shutting down his address, according to two major pro-family organizations, Americans for Truth and Mass Resistance.

"Beware lesbians with frying pans (if you care about free speech)," AFT said in his announcement. "Lesbian activists at Smith College just couldn't stand by and let a young critic explain his views about the supposed innateness of homosexuality – so they stormed Ryan Sorba's speech on the 'Born Gay Hoax' and forced him to end it prematurely."

"Thus they decided for everyone in the room – supporters, foes, the curious and the undecided – whether Sorba's arguments would be heard. Stalin would be proud," said AFT's Peter LaBarbera.
Indeed. Stalin WOULD be proud.

Just once I'd like to see the left sit and listen respectfully, then present counter arguments in a calm, rational manner. Just once.

I'd also like to see a unicorn, the Loch Ness Monster, a sea serpent, Bigfoot, and a total reduction of the national debt. I stand a zero chance of seeing any of those things. I also stand a zero chance of seeing leftists allow contrarian viewpoints to be presented without starting a riot.
