Liberals are getting silly.

BOSTON -- In a controversial measure designed to placate offended minority residents, officials of the Boston Housing Authority are asking residents to remove shamrock displays from doors and windows in housing developments across the city, the Irish Echo has learned.

Confirming rumors that have been circulating around South Boston in recent weeks, Lydia Agro, BHA's communications director, told the Echo that housing managers are advising residents that shamrocks and other "bias indicators" are offensive to some minority residents and should not be publicly displayed.

"There are a number of symbols that have been identified by some of our residents as making them uncomfortable and unwelcome," Agro said. "In response to those concerns, we're including shamrocks along with swastikas, Confederate flags and other symbols which may give offense."

Liberals never seem to consider the people THEY offend when demanding that others bend over to avoid bothering the thin-skinned.
 

What makes you think they are liberals. They do something silly, and they have to be liberals? A little biased aren't you...


I'm a true liberal (not a democrat, I'm an independent), and I wouldnt do that. No more than I'd have this nice cuban woman down the street remove her statues from her yard (religious statues), though our Comunitee Planning Committee is planning on suing her if she doesn't remove them. And the heads of the committee are all staunch republicans.

Wish you guys would get your stereotypes correct...
 
This is just silly. I have never, ever heard of a Shamrock being offensive in any way. Next they'll be targeting Hearts on Valentine's Day. LOL

Oh I forgot to say this though. How can you say this a liberal thing or democratic thing. I don't see this as being liberal or conservative. Stop trying to always place blame on liberals or democrats when it comes to social issues. Last time I checked there are some big mouth whiners, complainers, and troublemakers when it comes to social issues that are conservatives too.
 
That article is almost 2 years old... is it really pertinant today? I think if it were in effect, we would have heard more about it.

 
Ok, the point here is twofold, 1.) Fsck being politically correct, Freedom of expression is not about politically correct, we fought against a country that tried to impose politcal correctness upon our ancestors. 2.) Its my land, if you dont like what I do with it, then dont look at it.
 


<< Its my land, if you dont like what I do with it, then dont look at it. >>



Not that I agree with the ridiculous proposition to remove the shamrocks, but this would not be your land. It is a public housing development. Just thought I'd point that out.
 
Since the article is very old news, and since there is no statement about the political persuasion of the people involved, this is just classic trolling.

I guess conservatives like to complain no matter how old the stuff is or how pathetic they look.
 
Sickening.... absolutely sickening.

Everytime I think we've reached the ultimate pinnacle of polically correct stupidity some PC moron proves me wrong. :|
 
I got the same problem with my Republican neighbors who get upset by my two junker frontyard tribute to my Okie heritage. Everybody is an A-hole when his ox gets gored.
 
The problem with calling these people liberal is that most of the time it's the conservatives who seek to restrict personal freedoms. Whether it's abortion, gay marriages or public schools (look up Linda Chavez for that one) I would call these people more conservative than liberal...

I would have to disagree with that. More often than not, a liberal wants everybody on the playground to play fair, therefore more regulations. Everytime I hear about another handout, I think...liberal. As I recall, Bush wants school vouchers, which means choice in education. Not a government telling you where your children must go, eventhough it's your tax dollars.
 
Based on that logic, I should have to pay for your kids to go to some religious school? Now that sounds like a handout to me.
 
hey hey, its ok to subvert the law in gods name.. anyone knows that😛

conservatives would be ok if they stuck to the fiscal side of politics. on social policies they've been off for quite a while. legislating morality.. blah

anyhow, i'm just a liberal facist🙂 mwahah

Zucchini, I've never heard that explanation but I definetly agree. Yeah, I like that 😉
