Bryan Fischer is gonna tell us how bigotry and homophobia
is actually tolerance and diversity
you're probably thinking no come on those things are literally
exact opposites well i kno I know the exact opposites
but let's let him explain his position
the Winter Olympics are going to be held in russia
2014 in russia
has just passed a law that prevents
any propagandizing up the homosexual lifestyle
any public displays I have homosexual
affection any
Gay Pride parades you can be gay but you can ever ties it you can't promoted you
can't propagandize that
anywhere in public in russia now here's the problem
is there are the the wrinkle here
is the Russian sports minister said look we're going to enforce this law
during the Olympics for you have some Olympic
athlete comes to Russia he is an active homosexual and he wants to
do something to promote his lifestyle we're gonna lock them up
we're going to arrest him we're going to detain him we're not gonna put up with
that
in russia we have standards against this sort of thing now
here's here's my point if
all these people in our culture the believed him
really believed in multiculturalism they believed in celebrating diversity
they were all about celebrating the wonder of diverse cultures all over the
world they would be excited about this
PVC hey this is great we've got we've got plenty a room in our multicultural
world for
all sorts of different cultural values entrance isn't this wonderful
what russians let's celebrate diversity and let's support
this out tradition
how tired as that argument I mean we've heard it
all the time from Rush Limbaugh and they think they're being clever
they actually think that's like checkmate
gotcha the game set match I got no response to our
okay European dollar-a-month up what just to illustrate
how ridiculous that is imagine what he said
in any other context right so up
let's say somebody's I'm in favor of keeping
women in the kitchen and they have to blow their husbands every single night
and they should be allowed to vote right
well you know i think thats a little extreme I want to rethink that I how
dare you know you're not accepting of my life styles I'll gingerly intolerant one
yeah but you just said the woman should only blow the man is day in the kitchen
and not vote
I mean come over or what or up
yeah you know I'm in favor of slavery I thought things went very smoothly back
then it was very good usable
boon to the economy so I can maybe it's a good idea to go back to that
a hey you know man that's a little radically my what what don't be
intolerant you're so intolerant
what you're the one i jus wineries okay what are you talking about
but where he is it's the exact same argument when you say are you there was
in sociology class when I was in college we learned about are all different
cultures around the world that
vastly different traditions one was I believe it eskimo culture in you it were
what they would do is when
people got to a certain age when they were senior citizens grandparents they
would
put them on blocks of ice covered often push them out to sea and then they die
out there
so I mean a to
seems very barbaric doesn't it so according to Brian Fisher if you're like
pay you know you might wanna that's a little out there you might want to
respect their individual
you know but opinion that they want to stay alive and
be kinder whatever you're disagreeing with us
da how dare you you're so intolerant see
his argument is it
saying are all in the actual to be tolerant yet to be an amorphous
a moral blob where everything is okay
under all circumstances and you have no opinion about anything
and you have any moral core because you're so tolerant to the point that
York tolerant old intolerance
and therein lies the flaw and therein lies
the absurdity up his argument
