Eich – if you were waiting for the moment when the Cold Civil War actually begins, this might be it

Eich: if you were waiting for the moment when the Cold Civil War actually begins, this might be it. “…any instrument of social coercion big enough to give you everything you want is an instrument big enough to take away everything that you have.” Including your life. Progressivism’s endgame has arrived.

  • This is what the unhinged executives at mozilla actually put out: "We Believe In Openness & That No One Should Be Persecuted For The Beliefs They Hold, No Matter What They Are." (unless you are a white male Christian)

    Progressive fascists are all about diversity, tolerance, and inclusion as long as everyone thinks the same.

    For any lurking mozilla people, the last thing I used your product for was to download Opera.

  • I saw a guy the other day with a bumpersticker that said:
    "The Founders would have been shooting by now"
    I don't think it will be too long before we see shooting again.

    • ... and the founders would have been hauled in on domestic terrorism charges- and characterized by the press as an extremist fringe group- compared with the likes of Al Qaeda and Hezbollah.

  • So far Andrew Sullivan is the only prominent gay to speak out about Mozilla and its fascism.

    Another case where the oppressed wins and then winds up becoming the oppressor because they never think past the point where the original goals are met.

  • Just another one of the left's "you're a racist" kind of tolerance to somebody else's beliefs.

  • The Chinese have a curse: May you live in interesting times. Outside of gays/lesbians serving in the Military, I couldn't have cared less on how they choose to live their lives. Now I do. It is a shame that a bunch of mentally deranged individuals can bully someone to the extent that is costs that person their livelihood. What a bunch of fascists!

    I had a discussion with my daughter over gay rights. She was of the belief that they were born that way. I told her that perhaps a small percentage were, but that for the vast majority it was a life style choice.

    Then I told her, think about this: "Not liking sex isn't hereditary". And she went "huh?"

    I explained that if it was genetic that it would be a weak gene and homosexuals would breed the weak gene out of existence since they don't procreate. That there are people born with both sexes, rare all be it, but freaks of nature do occur. That if homosexuals were freaks of nature because of mutant genetics, then for them I could understand the same sex attraction. But for the vast majority, it is simply a hollywood based, perverse, and glorified life style.

    Extra: I for one have removed firefox from my machine.

    • To your "Extra", ditto: Leave well alone and it was never an issue but now it is. Also "uninstalled" and may they rot in hell.

      • Unfortunately, there is one extension I need which is so far only on FF and not my Chrome/Iron preference.

        • I will keep FF only because I use it for certain things that other browsers don't support. I also keep certain websites on certain browsers. There are also certain browser settings that I need to keep for certain websites.

          • I have some info for Firefox users that want to support Eich. There is a browser called Pale Moon http://www.palemoon.org/
            that is based on FF, but not made by them. It is a bit faster, and handles all the same add-ons/extensions. Check it out, I am going to try it myself.

            Edit, Please note that the 64 bit version is still in Beta and may not function real well, so I'm using the 32 bit for now.
