This hatred for what was once considered “normal” is wide spread. A lesbian couple trying to transform an adopted son into an adopted daughter is considered liberating, but when that ideology of transsexualism leads to tragedy, it is at best ignored. A gay couple raising a child is lauded as wonderful, but a conservative straight couple raising a child is condemned and even effectively prohibited exercising the same legal right as a gay couple — adopting and raising a child. As Robert Stacy McCain noted:
“Professional athletes can spawn with multiple baby mamas, and feminists have no word of complaint. Gay men hiring surrogates to breed children for them? Lesbians raising adopted child sex-change experiments? No problem, say the Womyn’s Studies majors. In response to the general plague of divorce and fatherlessness, the poverty-inducing epidemic of illegitimacy that replicates underclass misery, the collective reaction of the Official Women’s Movement is . . . crickets chirping.
“However, let a normal couple of married Christians give birth to more than the standard 1.7 children, and they become the targets of seething rage and resentment”
This double standard isn’t really a double standard, though. The calls for equality and tolerance are simply convenient excuses and lies that serve only to destroy social norms so that they may be replaced by the Left’s own visions. They themselves will refuse to show the tolerance that they demand of others. This is because they define the views they disagree with as “intolerance,” “H8,” et al. and the opposition to those views as necessarily being for “tolerance” and against “H8” regardless of the actual lack of tolerance or hatred that they show. In other words:
“It’s pretty simple: if your choices aren’t their choices, then your choices are wrong, illegitimate, and societally harmful.”
In order to support this manichean worldview, intolerance, oppression, and hate must be defined as the Cultural Maxist “superstructure” of straight White “cis-gendered” “X-tian” males who created social norms for the sole purpose of securing their unjust privileges by oppressing everyone else. The Left then sets up history as a progression of this “oppression” to one of “equality” and “democracy.” This “progress” is defined as being in manichean opposition to the founding principles of this country, and our Anglo-Saxon heritage upon which it was built. From this, their attacks become less incoherent hypocrisy, and more targeted destruction:
“Such unspeakable hatred… is rooted in a radical ideology that views the culture and institutions of traditional morality and family life as part of an oppressive bourgeois capitalist system which they — the feminists — must destroy.
“It is not just marriage and motherhood, but also religion, patriotism and all notions of virtue, honor and decency associated with those concepts which are the targets of cultural destruction”.
The fight for “tolerance,” “liberation,” and “equality” therefor becomes a fight to destroy society through intolerance, oppression, and inequality, so that a “tolerant,” “liberated,” and “equal” society can be based on an ideology that was rooted in intolerance, oppression, and unequal treatment of the destroyed society (which was somehow tolerante, liberated, and equal enough to allow the supplanting ideology overthrow it).
Because “no man is an island,” the claims of the Left that they don’t want to control you, but just society, are laid bare as lies. When society becomes a public issue to be changed or replaced, you who are a member of that society become the target for effecting that change or replacement. Dissent becomes intolerable, and affirmation becomes the only way to shrive one of the their politically incorrect thought crimes. And you will be assumed to be a propagator of those thought crimes, because the Left needs a villain to blame its own failures upon.
“Justice” then becomes an excuse to re-combobulate society. The schools will be used to condition the young to adhere to this new utopian ideology, and everyone else will be “nudged” to go along with it. They won’t have to be forced to believe that they see five fingers when there are only four, they only have to act and say as if they do. When they are forced to do that, the lie will become the truth soon enough. In this grand world of tolerance, only the “correct” values will be “tolerated.”
Their own intolerance and hatred, and the labeling of all others who disagree with them as intolerant and hateful, no matter how tolerant and unhateful those others may be, is just a justification for recreating society and molding others to the ideal of a “perfect” society.
The left is centered around the individual; the individual wants equality so he/she is guaranteed a place in society, even if incompetent; therefore, any standards or values, or majorities or normalcy, are an affront to the liberal and in their view, must be destroyed.
Liberalism is a mental health disorder 🙂
The Left is, ultimately, a collectivist ideology. While they appeal to individual passions to get what they want, they only use the individual so impassioned for their own collectivist ends…
…Methinks the useful idiots of the Left will not find their “perfect” society so wonderful once this transformation is complete.
Once having dispensed of their ideological opposites, the Leftists shall turn on each other.
Plenty of room for the idiots to be lined up on the wall. They’d best consider that before it’s too late.
So glad McCain linked to your blogpost! I really enjoyed it.
I’ve been blogging a lot on these same issues. Recently:

Okay – there’s your destructive totalitarian pseudo-equality. It doesn’t HAVE to be practiced that way, however, and wouldn’t have been except for a HUGE push by the Rockefeller family. They WANTED to use it for destruction, and they did. Sadly too, there are plenty of fools in society who were and are there for the “elite’s” use. Personally I’m about as straight sexually as it gets, though I could care less what someone else does. People are what they are, and I have NO desire to change anything but abuse and the inconsiderate idea that I have to change to suit someone else.If I open and hold a door for a woman and she says, “Do you think I’m too INCOMPETENT to open a door for myself??”, from then on I’ll let the door hit her in the face; she can walk on whatever side the sidewalk she wants and wear all the mud that comes her way. More than once, though, I’ve seen gay couples raise perfectly normal, straight males. The kid I actually knew did just fine. It’s the, “A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle” crap that’s destructive. It’s the idea that society owes everyone a living, the idiot, “I promise that everyone will have an above-average income!” idiocy that’s destructive. What society OWES all of its citizens is a decent education that includes the basics and HOW to learn – NOT “teaching” that teaches kids to LOATHE reading, that math is confusing, hard, and nothing they really need, that they don’t have to actually WORK for anything… THAT is destructive.
It’s easy enough to take anything too far, into “reductio ad absurdam”. That is what both the Republicans AND the Democrats have done – both have gone too far, and neither seems to be capable of compromise anymore. The “K” Street “enterprises” idiocy under Bush should have resulted in a lot of Congress doing time! THIS Congress, or most of it, ought to be in prison as well, along with “Dear Leader” along with every corrupt and/or totally unqualified appointee he’s saturated the government with. The reversal of patriots, Constitutionalists and “people who disagree with government policy” being “likely terrorists”, and the Constitution being IGNORED should also long since have resulted in removals. The fact that none of it HAS says that this country, its government especially, is very, very ill, very damaged.

The Left’s rejection of the “image of conservatism” is grounded in an anti-bourgeois stance, which is right and good, but their solution is even worse than the problem.
Instead of lifting everyone up through the social and class status of bourgeois mentality and lifestyle, they would rather drag everyone down into deeper regression of materialism and away from enlightenment.
The Left’s objection to contemporary conservative is justifiable and reasonable, but their energy and solution is deeply and fundamentally flawed.
