St. Louis Cardinals Stand Up to the Regressive Left

[IAMX 3,055]

Of all the petuland child things to protest..

 

The St. Louis Cardinals resolved to host Lance Berkman as their “Christian Day” speaker, despite outcry from the LGBTQ community.

St. Louis Pride, an LGBTQ organization, protested the Cardinals’ decision to host Berkman and demanded that the Cardinals cancel his appearance at their annual Christian Day, a post-game event where a public figure, usually a former player as in Berkman’s case, speaks about how Christianity has affected their life.

Berkman drew criticism from the LGBTQ community in 2015 and has been lambasted as a homophobe over his opposition to a Houston city ordinance that would allow transgender people access to bathrooms opposite their biological gender.

Berkman expounded on his opposition to the ordinance in an interview, explaining that, in his view, the ordinance tramples public liberty for the whims of a few.

“The issue is, what to do about a 15 or 16-year-old boy who thinks he’s a girl and wants to shower with the girls,” Berkman said. “Maybe he is [transgender], maybe he’s confused. But I wouldn’t want him in the shower with my daughters. We shouldn’t have the rights of 2 percent of the population trump the rights of the other 98 percent.”

 

The Cardinals stood by their original intentions and issued a statement of their own in defense of both Christian Day and Berkman.

“As an organization, the Cardinals have always been committed to bringing like-minded groups together to share in the unifying experience of Cardinals baseball,” the statement said. “We are an inclusive organization with a social responsibility to be welcoming to all types of people and organizations. We continue to try and reach out to every part of our community, and have hosted a variety of themed events like Christian Day, Jewish Community Night, Catholic Family Night, Bosnian Heritage Night, Fiesta Cardenales, and many others. We are excited to announce that we will be hosting our first Pride Night later this season (details to follow shortly) which will bring members of the LGBT Community together to enjoy Cardinals baseball.”

The Cardinals’ Christian Day is scheduled for July 30.

It's funny because I'd disagree with this person that being permissive about personal conduct in one's private life is a bad thing, but I recognize it's merely his opinion which we're all entitled to.

 

It's ironic because they already have a LGBT day (happy for this), but that's not enough for the left.

Meanwhile snowflakes halt a play. Free speech is only something the right should enjoy apparently http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_59448e0de4b06bb7d2734fad?ncid=inblnkushpmg00000009

 

 

Then there is the small matter of a skewed media coverage of protests. It seems the media is more concerned about left wing campus protesting. http://fair.org/home/threats-to-campus-speech-dont-alarm-media-when-they-come-from-the-right/

Was the play actually halted for more than a few minutes?  From what I read in what you posted, it did go on which is far different from what happened at Berkeley with the MDL snowflakes afraid they might actually learn something from a Right wing speaker.

 

Your second post is kind of a joke as it was really Left on Left protest as the biology professor appears to be fairly liberal from everything I have read.  It seems this was more of an issue with identity politics on the Left gone awry.

 

Nice try though.

That was a massive wall of text from the person who winds up complaining about a person making threats and not following through on it oppressing the poor lefties.

 

And apparently the left and their "no whites" agenda + threatening violence at Evergreen are being oppressed by the right? 

 

LOL

 

This has to be a joke.

Sadly it's not.  Several decades of outcome based education,  participation trophies and political correctness run a monk,  has yielded confused and agitated snowflakes

Left are so incensed they can't even think rationally. It's pretty funny.

You have your stereotypes down well. All wrong, but why would that ever stop you?

Are you angling for some kind of irony award? Sorry, don't do those.

What sort of things do right-wing speakers teach? How to hate your neighbor, or a hundred and one ways to act indignant around people who point out your bigotry, or ways to project your twisted logic onto others? Anyway, good job on missing the actual point of the fair.org piece.

I can see the irony..

 

Those evil right wing universities saying no blacks allowed.. its a conspiracy by the media to make the rational victim left look irrational.

 

#AltReality

 

Seriously, explain the article and help us understand how this backs up your claim that right wing university oppression not only exists but is being under reported. LOL.

 

If anything the left made out people like Weinstein, who politely said he wouldn't attend a "ban whitey" event, and would allow debate about their positions in his class, into the bad guy, when anyone else would have told them to stuff it where the sun doesn't shine. Evidently people that are overly tolerant of the left aren't tolerant enough of their crazy, meanwhile the right are oppressing people by existing. #PoorLefties

Yep, every Right wing speaker encourages hate and every Left wing speaker encourages love and acceptance.
