Tom Cotton Grills CEO Over Firings Of Employees Who Refused To Wear 'Gay Pride' Symbol

[@TuhljinTampergauge]

"Diversity is strength" is right up there with "Freedom is slavery" and "War is peace." No one before modern times believed the idiotic notion that focusing on differences made a people stronger. Even diversity of thought, the only good kind, only works if there's a proper competition between ideas; you don't just accept all ideas as valid. But of course, with the left's rejection of objective reality, they're veering into that territory, too.

The Bolshevik LARRY FINK at Blackrock is committed to the destruction of Christianity. His Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is a religion. And he is seeking to force it on people. The rainbow symbol is a form of idolatry. Idolatry is strictly forbidden by Christians and Muslims. Which is why Larry Fink and their Bolshevik board members are seeking to force people to kneel before their forced LGBT religion. This is no different than when religions were forced on people throughput the ages. This is Larry Finkelstein’s religion. Blackrock’s religion. You nose who they are.
