To cleanse the palate, via the Free Beacon, what I want to know is how this interview came about. Did her group actually … volunteer this person as their best spokesman for a one-on-one on fiscal policy with a business journalist? Or did one of Cavuto’s bookers meet her somewhere and realize that she’d make the perfect patsy for a segment aimed at showing how unmoored from economic reality Generation Bern is?
All I could think of watching this was Apollo Creed’s trainer screaming, “Throw the damn towel.”
(Young Conservatives have a really good post on this) This comes via Gay Patriot’s commentary on “a generation is raised to believe that they are so wonderful and so special that anything that offends them…”
They were mad because a professor said in an email that if someone’s Halloween costume offended them, they should try and act like adults about it. (The longer version can be found here)
I would like to say that this is the typical act of the left… that is: yell, scream, take off a jacket to fein violence ~ and then leave rational discourse — quickly. Here is a portion of HotAir’s post on the topic:
Robby Soave at Reason brings us another depressing tale of students at one of the nation’s most prestigious universities who clearly have been herded into a climate where nobody should ever be made to feel uncomfortable or have their own world views challenged. This time it’s at Yale, where students want some administrators fired because they didn’t speak out strongly enough about potentially off-putting Halloween costumes and a frat party.
Students are demanding that Yale University fire two administrators who failed to speak out against offensive Halloween costumes. This is just one of the grievances of activist students—many of them people of color—who claim Yale is not a safe space for them.
On Thursday, the students surrounded Yale College Dean Jonathan Holloway—a black man—in an outdoor space and chided him for failing to take action against a fraternity that had allegedly prevented black women from attending its party.
So the students are upset about an email in which the wife of Nicholas Christakis, master of Silliman College, dared to opine that it was inappropriate for the college to tell students how to dress. Oh… the horror. I’ve yet to see a photo of anyone in a costume that involved blackface (one of their concerns, apparently) or wearing a “feathered headdress” which might offend Native Americans….
Prager introduces us to the proclivity of leftist to be infantile in their existence:
HotAir then quotes Reason.org’s post on the topic… of which I quotye a bit more:
…It is not about creating an intellectual space, the students claim; it’s about creating safe spaces. This is as clear an articulation of students’ desires as they come, and it summarizes everything that’s wrong with the modern college campus.
Students should of course feel free to challenge university administrators—this is the essence of free speech. Students have every right to publicize their concerns and work to make Yale a more welcoming place for marginalized people (and administrators should listen). But a great many students, it seems, don’t actually desire a campus climate where such matters are up for debate. By their own admission, they want anyone who disagrees with them branded a threat to their safety and removed from their lives.
If these students get their wish to turn Yale and other campuses into zones of emotional coddling, they will succeed only in destroying the very point of college.
The story starts with the wife of Nicholas Christakis, Silliman College’s master, sending out an email addressing the subject of Halloween costumes, which, as we have noted before, has taken on a sudden importance at colleges and universities. The email suggested that if students didn’t like someone else’s costume, they should “look away, or tell them you are offended.”
This was seen by many students as soft on Halloween costumes. They accosted Professor Christakis and unleashed the fury that is characteristic, these days, of unstable college students. In the video below, a young woman, presumably a Yale student, screams profanities at Professor Christakis for reasons that appear unintelligible…
[….]
Fourth, what happened to the girl who screamed at the professor? When I was in college this would have been unthinkable. But if someone had not only thought of it but done it, he surely would have been expelled from school. Somehow I suspect that won’t happen here.
Fifth, the controversy over offensive Halloween costumes is generally couched as a free speech issue. To me, it seems like more a question of mental health. The young woman in the video became hysterical and behaved bizarrely not because she had been offended by a Halloween costume, which would be bad enough, but because she imagined the hypothetical possibility that such a costume might someday exist. She needs help. It sounds like quite a few other Yalies do, too.
Roger Kimball has more on free speech at Yale. It, too, makes the university’s students appear ridiculous….
I really didn’t think it was going to happen this fast when I predicted last week that schools were going to need all new bathrooms soon to accommodate “transgender children.” That case involved a Missouri high school senior who triggered a large protest when he insisted on changing in the girls’ locker room. I clearly failed to anticipate just how quickly the SJW forces can move because one school district in the San Francisco area is already on top of the problem. They’re going to entirely unisex bathrooms to avoid insulting any “differently gendered” students, by golly, and they’re starting with the elementary school. (Yahoo News)
[….]
Who could possibly have guessed that the epicenter for erasing the concept of gender from the early education system would come from San Francisco? I suppose if you indoctrinate them early enough you can really strike a blow for change, but this highly disturbing trend isn’t just taking place in the left coast granola-centric community. This entire concept of restructuring the human race in abject denial of fundamental, biological reality – not to mention millennia of attempting to instill civil behavior for young ladies and gentlemen – should be a warning sign. We’re managing to tear down our own house from the inside and the government seems to be perfectly willing to finance the wrecking ball.
When you read a facepalm inducing story like this you might be wondering, well how many kids are having gender issues in kindergarten? The obvious and easy answer is that none of them are, but some of them have parents who watch Rachel Maddow or read Sally Kohn too frequently and you never know what they’ll be getting up to with their own children. Another case in point comes to us once again not from California, but from Nashville, Tennessee. Hang on to your hats for this one. (Yahoo)
Christiane Davis, a stay-at-home mom, lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband, Jeremiah, and their two kids, A.J. and Patrick. What most people wouldn’t know at first glance is that A.J., which stands for Andrew Jackson, is a female-to-male transgender child.
On Nov. 14, 2007, Davis gave birth to a baby girl named Nadine. Davis began seeing signs that her child was a boy rather than a girl early on. By the time A.J. turned three, he was refusing to wear “girly” clothes. Another issue was A.J.’s hair: He did not want it to be touched. “He didn’t want me to put it up into little clips or bows,” she said.
Davis thought she was going to have a tomboy and didn’t want to label her child anything. She thought her then daughter was just a strong-willed little girl. But it went beyond that.
The story just goes downhill from there. I can’t even imagine what’s going to become of the Davis family’s daughter in later years but it seems to be beyond our control. I’m just hoping they’re not going to try chemically altering her body to delay the onset of puberty or begin scheduling surgery on her….
These are part of the opening minutes of Larry Elder’s Show the day of the murders. He ends this segment with “beam me up Scotty.” Perfect. Larry is insightful mainly because of his litany of Democratic hypocrisies noted (almost daily).
And in the case of Vester Lee Flanagan II (AKA, Bryce Williams), like Floyd Lee Corkins II, these and the many others seemed to be groomed by the left to feel soo disadvantaged that it requires a sort of “war.”
The latest example coming from Hillary Clinton:
Hillary Clinton on Thursday likened the Republican presidential field to terrorist extremists based on their views of women.
“Extreme views about women, we expect that from some of the terrorist groups,” Clinton said during a campaign speech at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. ”We expect that from people who don’t want to live in the modern world. But it’s a little hard to take coming from Republicans who want to be president of the United States. Yet, they espouse out of touch and out-of-date policies. They are dead-wrong for 21st century America. We are going forward. We are not going back.”
There will be more of this as the Democrats and left leaning professors instill vicimhood in their “believers.”
…An on-duty uniformed deputy in Texas was shot and killed Friday night while pumping gas into his cruiser, authorities said.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said that a male suspect with a dark complexion, wearing a white shirt and red shorts, opened fire on Darren Goforth, 47, at a gas station just outside Houston.
“A male suspect came up from behind the deputy and shot the deputy multiple times. The deputy then fell to ground. The suspect then continued over to him and shot the deputy again multiple times as he laid on the ground,” deputy Thomas Gilliland told reporters….
I was in Starbucks yesterday and overheard two moms talking… one said her son just got back from college and was talking about white privileged and how the blacks are kept down by white people, etc. Its sad.
Gay people whine that they feel “emotionally raped” because Christian bakeries recommend they go elsewhere for their wedding cakes. Result: Christian businesses are destroyed by massive Government fines.
Muslims whine that a stewardess would only pour them a can of Diet Coke instead of handing them the whole can. Result: Airline apologizes and punishes stewardess.
Black people whine that the sight of a Confederate Flag hurts their feelings. Result: Governments and businesses ban the sale or display of the Confederate flags, even at Civil War Historical sites like Gettysburg and Fort Sumter. Blacks go on to demand the complete eradication of Confederate History.
Illegal Immigrants whine that they should be allowed to break the law with impunity. Result: Leftist Progressives create ‘Sanctuary Cities.’
…read the rest to see what happens when WASP’s whine (WASP is an acronym for: White Anglo-Saxon Protestants).
This has grown out of multiple conversations over the years… and I wish to post it here for future reference. It will span a few topics — but I am sure you will get the point. It will not read straight forward as it will incorporate previously written material with some “stitching together.” (Note as well that I will link many of these topics to sites by the offenders themselves or people who disagree with the offenders, thus sitting them… the “separating the wheat from the chaff” thingy [Matthew 3:12].) But with the recent church shooting and the South Carolina Democrat blaming the Charleston shooting on FOX News. These people live in a bubble, and we need to be ready to show them this.
Here is a recent conversation that I will use as a model and add the pertinent information into the smaller discussion.
Rape has no meaning; ethnicity has no meaning; gender has no meaning; climate science has no meaning; art has no meaning…
(One of these things below is not like the others)
….People use to chisel from rock art like Michelangelo’s David …now… uncut 308-ton rocks are moved to museum and said to be art. Peeing dogs and peeing police officer are likewise given the moniker of art.
On-and-on… most scares and diminution of language and concepts and societal needs [etc] have by-and-large come from the Left:
So we have had some leading Democrats blame the Charleston shooting on Trump and Talk Radio (Hillary), A South Carolina House Minority leader blamed Fox News (Todd Rutherford), etc….
B-U-T, how bout’ Charlie Rangel [second-longest currently serving member of the House of Representatives] actively covering for a murder — a planned murder with forethought — of a police officer by a racist black supremacist group? In other words, you have some nut job racist America hater who hates Israel and the U.S. militaristic imperialism who burns and steps on American flags being used to blame the Republican Party or Fox News… BUT… you have one of the most respected members of the House intimately involved with [by covering it up] a racist murder of a police officer.
In other words…
give me something analogous.
How bout’ this “standard” reply of mine when Democrats intimate racism on the Republican side, thus, intimating their hatred for racism:
★ BILL CLINTON: “A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee,”
★ JOSEPH BIDEN: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” continuinh he said, “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”
★ DAN RATHER: “but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.”
Since almost ALL of the Dixiecrats stayed Dixiecrats (only 3-of the 26 Dixicrats ever switched sides, often times 20-years later*), and the KKK type Democrats died of old age or finished their terms in Congress (or actually applied the Bible to their ignorance and changed their ways)… we have a new style of “racism” on the left replacing leftist racist ideology.
For instance: We have a President that went to a church [for 20-years… what if Bush had gone to a similar church?] that sold books in its book store entitled: “A Black Theology of Liberation,” or, “A Black Theology of Liberation.” These books have some quotes I AM SURE you care deeply about since you are against racist ideology:
▼ “The goal of black theology is the destruction of everything white, so that blacks can be liberated from alien gods” ~ James Cone, A Black Theology of Liberation, p.62
▼ “White religionists are not capable of perceiving the blackness of God, because their satanic whiteness is a denial of the very essence of divinity. That is why whites are finding and will continue to find the black experience a disturbing reality” ~ James Cone, A Black Theology of Liberation, p.64
And here is Hitler in Mein Kampf: “The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew” In this same church bookstore, you could walk in and buy sermons by LOUISE FARRAKHAN.
Remember he is the guy who preaches that the white man was created on the Island of Cyprus 6,600 years ago by a mad scientist Yakub. He teaches that a UFO will put up an invisible wall around America and kill all the white people with fire who reside in that invisible “air wall”. He also teaches that he [Farrakhan was taken up to a UFO and told by ELIJAH MUHAMMAD and Jesus] that he was the “little Messiah”. This same guy was placed on the front cover of the churches magazine 3-times (once with Elijah Muhammad). AND, he was brought in and received a lifetime achievement award at the church. Even Farrakhan’s ex-aid said Obama and Farrakhan’s ties are [were] close.
DEMOCRATS chose a racist to be the keynote speaker at the 2012 Convention. JULIAN CASTRO is a member of La Raza… the group CESAR CHAVEZ (founder of the founder of the United Farm Workers [UFW]) said was a supremacist group. Not only that, but CASTRO’S MOTHER is involved deeply in the MEChA movement. That is the group that wants Mexico to take back the portion lost in the Mexican-American war. These guys/gals ACTUALLY show up in brown shirts.
Many Democrats in the House have open ties to the New Black Panthers as well… CYNTHIA MCKINNEY in fact, when she was in Congress, had them for security.So if you are truly interested in racist ideology, do not worry about all the old and gone Democrats who were racist. Or that DAVID DUKE endorses current Democrats running for office or other leaders in the current KKK vote en large for Democrats — today.
BY ALL MEANS, speak out against it (new Democrats) instead of old Democrats.
* The strategy of the State’s Rights Democratic Party failed. Truman was elected and civil rights moved forward with support from both Republicans and Democrats. This begs an answer to the question: So where did the Dixiecrats go? Contrary to legend, it makes no sense for them to join with the Republican Party whose history is replete with civil rights achievements. The answer is, they returned to the Democrat party and rejoined others such as George Wallace, Orval Faubus, Lester Maddox, and Ross Barnett. Interestingly, of the 26 known Dixiecrats (5 governors and 21 senators) only three ever became republicans: Strom Thurmond [20-years later], Jesse Helms and Mills E. Godwind, Jr. The segregationists in the Senate, on the other hand, would return to their party and fight against the Civil Rights acts of 1957, 1960 and 1964. Republican President Dwight Eisenhower proffered the first two Acts. (Urban Legends)
PLEASE, give me something analogous to Democrat Woodrow Wilson showing a racist film in the White House or a President who has gone to a supremacist church for 20-years. Or give me a list of analogous “activist” meddling by the left that the right has done. Please. The left ruin a lot of what it touches, language-to-science-to-justice-to even common sense. It is sad… really it is.
One last comment on the Left’s tendency to “hate” racism. They only gate it where they [perceive] to see it if it benefits them. To show as clearly as possible that they should reject Obama, by ways of his affiliations with supremacist groups and literature for twenty years, should be assumed. But this does not benefit them. So the rhetoric continues.
In the original conversation I was asked about the tampons, “Wait- what’s wrong with tampons?” A fair question. I respond:
When I worked at Borders Books & Music, there was a young, idealistic, progressive liberal gal who was a co-worker. She would mention that tampons were made by men as a way to subjugate womyn (she refused to spell “women” because it included the “male”). She also said that womyn do not get more-or-less moody around their periods… That this as well was a way for the patriarchy to ” control” womyn. This may sound wild, but the founders (and heroines) of the modern feminist movement have said much worse.
The response was priceless… as if this — ALL THIS — is happening in a vacuum:
Oh yikes!! That’s ridiculous. She was clearly extreme and I think we can agree that all extremists are missing balance and therefore missing the greatest natural phenomenon of regressing to the mean.
To which I try to be more specific:
I agree… But I want to press you that her view came from the women studies courses she was taking at CSUN. So not “extreme” in the sense that they aren’t mainstream.
Wait, much of this is taught at many major universities in women’s studies classes. Take for instance this quote from a text published by a major university and used in many past “feminist” studies at universities:
Male: “… represents a variant of or deviation from the category of female. The first males were mutants… the male sex represents a degeneration and deformity of the female.”
Man: “… an obsolete life form… an ordinary creature who needs to be watched … a contradictory baby-man.”
Testosterone Poisoning: “Until now it has been thought that the level of testosterone in men is normal simply because they have it. But if you consider how abnormal their behavior is, then you are led to the hypothesis that almost all men are suffering from ‘testosterone poisoning.’”
(Cheris Kramarae and Paula A. Treichler, eds., Feminist Dictionary [Champaign, IL: University of Illinois Press, 1986], cf. male, 242; cf. male, 246; cf. testosterone poisoning, 446.)
Alternatively, can you note something of like manner of extremist thinking in attacks against religion, gender, male/female differences, and the like from the right of the spectrum taught in the university?
I know extremism exists across all peoples and places… But from Democrat leaders and left leaning Senators talking about jail for people who deny “man-driven climate change,” or a president who attended a nazi-like church for twenty years and it’s no big deal, or a Democrat rep. Using the Black Panthers for security… (I could go on, but i will save you from my studies).
In other words, I need something analogous. The right was primarily behind Y2K. That was part of my “tri-fecta” in getting out of the extremist conspiratorial view of history.
To wit, liberals stopped DDT from being used and millions (many millions) of black Africans died. Liberals are trying to block golden rice which would help cure blindness in many third-world nations. These are not “conservatives” in the U.S. or at the U.N. doing this.

Can anyone tell me something ANALOGOUS to the Tea Party
Please?
Mark Folley vs. Gerry Studds…
Some here and others across the blogosphere have mentioned that the clapping of Republicans for Senator Ted Stevens is morally wrong… otherwise why bring it up if Republicans weren’t violating their “family values” clause in the party platform? I will embed the actual speech Ted Stevens gave that caused everyone in Congress, yes, everyone, to clap. Even ex-recruiter/Grand Wizard for the Klu Klux Clan (e.g., Democrat), Senator Byrd, clapped. If anyone takes the time to listen to the ten-minute speech given by Senator Stevens they will know why everyone in Congress clapped. (Subject/Object Distinction Kimba.)
Now, a bit of redux here: Mark Foley. Representative Mark Foley was chased out of his position by fellow Republicans when it came to light that he sent salacious e-mails to a same-sex page who was goading him on (and admitted such) about their proposed homosexual meeting. At the time this page was eighteen years old. A separate case was where Foley asked via a letter what a particular page would like for Christmas and sent this same page the present. This page was sixteen at the time. The press and blogosphere mixed up these two cases in a blurred attack on this person — really, because he was a Republican.
I would suspect (like most homosexual men) that Mark Foley was trying to have a homosexual “fling” set up with this “under-age” boy (sixteen years old which is under-age in most states… but NOT in Washington D.C.). Most homosexual men I have talked to had their first encounter (really rape), what is commonly referred to in the homosexual community as their “initiation,” when they were very young by a grown homosexual man. So even if there was a fling, under the laws of D.C., everything would have been legit. The Republican washed him out because of a stand (religiously and naturally — Natural Law) taken against the age and acts involved. To re-post something I and Dennis Prager said:
So when a Democrat says because Sen. Craig was looking for homosexual sex and this makes him a hypocrite because he supported the “Family Values” position of not supporting the “gay agenda” in their goal of same-sex marriage, here is a great set of propositions and questions to ask “said Democrat.”
So you know, I believe that Sen. Craig was trying to commit an immoral act and that he should resign because he should want what’s best for America and not for himself mainly because he cannot be trusted in his personal life, therefore he cannot be trusted in his political life… this aside, what makes him a hypocrite?
What do you do with the many people who are homosexual but have come out publicly stating that we should not change the definition of marriage? Are they hypocrites? If you have same-sex sex, does this mean you have to support the “gay-agenda?”
If a heterosexual supports the “gay-agenda,” does this mean he or she is a hypocrite? Does a heterosexual who supports the “heterosexual-agenda” make him a “homo-phobe?” I know a few Republican homosexuals who do not want the definition of marriage changed, does this make them “homo-phobes?” Or does it make them hypocrites?
Great points to ponder. Prager also points out that the dictionary definition of what a hypocrite is does not fit what we really experience in day-to-day life.
The point here is that really when Foley, Craig and others are mentioned, what the Democrats are really saying is this:
The Republicans are a Party that state a “family values” position that stands against such acts… they are not living up to those standards, whether religious or Natural!
Which most people like myself would agree and want more reference to the Founders understanding of morality and Natural law referenced in the terms served by Republicans. But what the Democrat is also saying is this:
The Democrat Party invites all who want to act this way and have affairs with pages — whether same-sex or otherwise — legally in D.C. under our umbrella because we reject Natural Law’s stance on gender barriers and definitely take a more “progressive” stance on what Jesus and the apostles taught as well as the Old Testament prophets.
In other words, if acted out there is nothing of “family values” in the tent of liberalism to counter such actions… we (Liberals/Democrats) like to point out when the Right fails in this activity. In fact, we give standing ovations to those who practice such acts… alone… without Republicans joining in with applause, like IBD so aptly pointed out with Gerry Studds:
…It was loyalty to that extreme agenda that accounts for Democrats holding back their ire during a far worse underage homosexual scandal: that of Gerry Studds, a Democratic Massachusetts congressman, for more than two decades.
According to the 1983 House ethics committee report, one congressional page allegedly traveled to Europe with Studds and testified that he took him to his apartment in Georgetown three or four times and that there was sexual activity between them each time. The two later took a 2 1/2-week trip together out of the country, according to the page, and “engaged in sexual activity every two or three days.”
According to the ethics panel’s report, “the relationship may have begun when the page was 16. . . . At that time, Rep. Studds was 36 years old.” What’s more, the underage page had told Studds that he would have preferred not to engage in sexual activity with him. “I mentioned that to him,” the former page testified.
The report added that “two other former pages, both male,” stated under oath that Studds made sexual advances to them. “One was 16 or 17” at the time of the alleged incident, “the other was 17.”
Studds never apologized, and when he was censured by his colleagues, he defiantly stood in the House well looking up at Speaker Tip O’Neill, hands casually folded behind his back. Afterward, Studds not only remained in Congress for more than a decade; the House Democratic leadership allowed him to rise in the congressional ranks and for years hold a full committee chairmanship.
Some of Studds’ Democratic colleagues even voted against the slap on the wrist of censure. Then-Rep. Parren Mitchell of Maryland, for instance, complained of the “absolute humiliation and degradation” Studds had already suffered and said censure would “cannibalize him.”
When Studds returned home to his district, an August 1983 editorial — in the liberal Washington Post of all places — asked with astonishment, “What is it exactly, or even inexactly, that those Massachusetts Democrats were so loudly cheering when they gave Rep. Gerry Studds three standing ovations last weekend? What accounts for this extraordinary response to a man just censured for having taken sexual advantage of a youthful congressional page?”
Why were Democrats cheering? Maybe the answer lies in the causes they support and the ideological company they keep.
The American Civil Liberties Union, after all, gives a 90% rating to Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who would be speaker of the House next year if the Democrats take control, and the ACLU Foundation has contributed to her campaign. That’s the same ACLU that defends the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and has tried to bankrupt the Boy Scouts because of its resistance to the idea that male homosexuals should be able to be scoutmasters.
The congressional GOP leadership has clearly dropped the ball in the Foley case. They didn’t recognize what Foley was, and the adolescents under Congress’ care were subjected to the advances of a sexual predator as a result. That’s inexcusable. But it’s the Democrats who want our culture transformed so that people like Foley can feel good about themselves.
I hope this helps some here and others who come across this blog some deeper understanding of the differences here and some fodder for my fellow conservatives. This story does have connections, by-the-by, with another story that makes a point of media bias. This connection is not explicit, but implicit:
…In the 2001 San Francisco “Gay Pride” parade, Nancy Pelosi walked along side of the NAMBLA advocate, Harry Hay, who has stated “ If the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what 13-, 14-, and 15- year-old kids need more than anything else in the world.”
NAMBLA is a criminal organization of pedophiles preying on young boys. How can an organization like NAMBLA even exist? Why aren’t these men in jail? Who is protecting these boys or even girls from these pedophiles? Where is the national media? How safe are our school children with the hidden agenda of our Safe School Czar? Should the Democratic Party and its leaders walk with or praise and admire the leaders of NAMBLA? Should the Democratic Party give money to an organization that defends NAMBLA? These are just some of the disturbing questions that should be answered….
…As I read it, I could not help but wonder whether there is race fluidity in addition to gender fluidity? If a person can be whatever gender they want to be despite the biological reality of their genetic and physical make-up, then why can’t they be whatever race they feel they are? Why should those same rules not apply to race?
It used to be thought that a man claiming to be a woman had no more grip on reality than a man claiming to be Napoleon or a bunny rabbit. But the culture has evolved, and society has decided that for a man to be woman requires nothing more than hormone treatments, surgery, and make-up. (Which, as an aside, seems rather insulting to real biological women.) If race is an identity, than why should people have any less right to determine what their race in addition to their gender?…
This is what I posted in the comment section of Gay Patriot:
As I see it… the Left is devouring itself… they are taking away their tools to separate and conquer. Undermining their won arguments of race-class-gender, and wanting to throw things like the 14th Amendment away. Each layer of their thinking is built on a false perception… soon they have so many layers in this house of cards that it will topple. I hope sooner than later.
I have been pointing this out for years, with the thanks to an author who wrote well on this topic of illiberal liberalism. Here is the idea in a nut shell that is expressed in his books:
“If homosexuality is really genetic, we may soon be able to tell if a fetus is predisposed to homosexuality, in which case many parents might choose to abort it. Will gay rights activists continue to support abortion rights if this occurs?”
Dale A. Berryhill, The Liberal Contradiction: How Contemporary Liberalism Violates Its Own Principles and Endangers Its Own Goals (1994), 172.
In other words… there are all these new “rights,” special rights — if you will — making “equal under the law” a thing of the past… thus, you have all these interest groups and new protections clashing. And they will eat each-other. But like I have said for years as well, this frustration of “Utopia Lost” makes the Left violent. Get ready, it will be a bumpy ride.
