Another day, another dose of hypocrisy…
If you’re not already aware… hypocrisy is pretty high up on my list of pet peeves, so this story is grinding on my nerves.
It drives me nuts that progressives like to paint themselves as an all-encompassing lovefest. They preach to their base about the importance of “living your truth.” They urge young people to “fight” for important causes like Equal Rights for Guinea Pigs …
I may have struck gold just now…
They believe that free expression is a right that Americans should exercise, and it is. To them, however, those rights suddenly evaporate if they come even remotely close to impeding on their “safe space.” If you happen to fall into a category that they deem undeserving, you might as well scram because they have zero sympathy for you or whatever plight you may be experienceing.
With that, let me enlighten you on this example of freedom of expression being blatantly ignored.
From the Daily Wire:
A man at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, was recently ordered to remove a “Jesus Saves” t-shirt after security guards reportedly told him that shoppers were offended.
Video of the incident shows the back of the shirt included the Coexist symbol crossed out with “Jesus is the only way” printed below.
“Jesus is associated with religion and it’s offending people,” one of the guards in the footage told the man.
After talking with the security officers, the unknown man was told the shirt could not be worn inside the mall.
“Again sir, it is religious soliciting,” he told him in the video captured on January 7. “There is no soliciting allowed on mall property, which is private property.”
In the viral video, the man acknowledged that he had been forced to leave the mall before for “preaching the gospel.” He was issued a “24-hour trespass for soliciting guests,” according to a spokesperson from the Mall of America.
The Mall of America’s website states that soliciting is not allowed under its policies, including “Picketing, demonstrating, soliciting, protesting or petitioning.”
The security officers in the video said the man’s shirt was considered “religious soliciting,” adding, “There is no soliciting allowed on mall property, which is private property.”
Mall policy also specifies that “appropriate attire” must be worn inside, specifying “apparel that has obscene language, obscene gestures or racial/religious/ethnic slurs that are likely to create a disturbance” as inappropriate.
Despite the incident, a mall spokesman told the Daily Mail that the man was eventually not required to obey the security guard’s order.
“After a brief interaction, the guest was not required to change his shirt and was allowed to remain at the Mall,” the representative told the Daily Mail.

What I struggle with most is believing that every religion gets the same treatment in this situation.
I just don’t see it happening.
Just like it’s no longer possible for white people to be victims of racism, discriminating against Christianity has also become an impossibility.
If you substituted Christianity for a different religion (or perhaps a pro-library drag show t-shirt) and this guy became the subject of public ridicule, libs would have lost their ever-loving minds over this…
No one throws a fit better than a hypocrite.
I’ll add that if you’re “offended” by somebody else’s beliefs, it says way more about you than it does about them. All you’re doing is outing yourself as an intellectually shallow moron.
Something like that only offends you if your so-called beliefs lie on a shaky foundation. If you were confident in what you believed to be true, this kind of thing would roll down your back. See something, disagree with it, and move on with your day…
I think we would all benefit from minding our own business…

I’d love to see the same guy go back to the mall tomorrow wearing an “Allah saves” t-shirt and see if he gets the same treatment.
Spoiler alert – he wouldn’t.
