Promoting Hate to Make a Buck....

The newest battle in the culture wars is being waged on the telephone lines. In a departure from the standard telemarketing calls aimed at selling long distance service, United American Technology has taken telemarketing to a whole new level.

The Oklahoma-based long distance carrier, which describes itself as a Christian conservative company, is seeking like-minded customers by bad-mouthing bigger rivals for their "sinful" behavior.

"Our base, which would be a conservative base, really does not like the same-sex marriage that has been pushed down our throat," UAT consultant Carl Thompson told ABC News....

I saw this story and was so mad that I found myself screaming at my monitor.

How can these people get away with this crap?

It's the same way as the KKK and every other hate group can get away with it. It's a free country. You take the good with the bad in a free country.

Free country? You haven't lived here long enough.

United States of America is only free on paper. The idea of censorship is a huge, I dunno, attack on our freedom.

I just happened to be watching ABC News last night(too hot to move around here!) and saw this story! It is hard to even imagine that such hatred and bigotry can find a place to live, much less to thrive and make a profit! The whole thing makes me ill....

Well Captain, if you don't think it's free, then I say you haven't lived anywhere else.

If this was a free country, we wouldn't have laws/rules that we'd have to follow. I would've been allowed to dye my hair green junior year, but somehow that's not appropriate. Even though on the same day a black girl came into school with her hair bleached. If my green hair isn't natural, her blond hair isn't either.

But I'm actually thinking more of censorship though.
