The Gorilla Bully at Mozilla

The Tolerance Terrorists struck at Mozilla, forcing CEO Brandon Eich to resign because he contributed $1000 to Proposition 8 six years ago.

This is ugly. It is also tyranny—the tyranny of those who demand rights for them while stomping rights for anybody else into the ground.

This is bullying—big-time bullying, and it’s a dastardly kind of wrong.

We have the right to believe and support what we want. In our country we are all equal before the law, before the courts and in justice, and before God. That means we are also equal in our right to hold and express opinions. That’s our Constitution—freedom to think, believe, freedom to speak and act. We don’t have a society where some get to have opinions and some don’t. That’s totalitarianism, and its a no-go.

Not for Brandon Eich, however. He got to have an opinion only if it was the opinion activists said he could have. “You think what we say you should think or you’re outta here, buddy!”

I don’t know what was behind this—there likely is more to the story than we know. I wish Mr. Eich had stood up to the Tolerance Terrorists. Every person that caves makes it more likely that the next person will do the same—it sets a pattern that haunts us all in the end. We need the integrity of standing up to the bully, not capitulating.

This is an ugly bully, however—a gorilla sized one. It’s so mean and vindictive that most people run from it or buckle before it. This bully plays dirty.

  

DOING GOOD IS PART OF THEIR CODE????!!!!!

 

Stand up for the right—for what’s right and for your rights--on this! You have the right to your opinion, your speech, and your actions. We can’t give those up when we get pushed around, or every opponent to our freedom will take the cue and duplicate the methods.

Speak up for morality—the greater sense of what is right and wrong. Speak up for Christian values. Defend goodness, defend the family, defend truth. It’s time to speak up to friends, family, and to social media.

And while you’re at it, drop Mozilla’s services if you use them. Encourage everyone else to do the same, and tell them why you did. 

Don’t buckle before the Gorilla Bully!

Onward!
