Now this is mainly concerning the elites, and not the regular citizenry.

I think this part of this opinion is on the money.


The left does not care about gay rights. If you doubt that, consider how many of the left's favorite Muslim countries have gay rights. The left has recently divided its campaign passions between gay marriage and defending Iran. Iran denies the existence of gays and hangs them where it finds them.

The USSR treated homosexuality as a crime even while it was recruiting gay men as spies in the West. Cuba, the darling of the American left, hated both gays and blacks. The ACLU backed the police states of Communism. If the left supports an enemy nation, the odds are excellent that it is also a violently bigoted place that makes a KKK rally look like a hippie hangout.

To understand the left, you need to remember that it does not care about 99 percent of the things it claims to care about. Name a leftist cause and then find a Communist country that actually practiced it. Labor unions? Outlawed. Environmentalism? Chernobyl. The left fights all sorts of social and political battles not because it believes in them, but to radicalize, disrupt and take power.

The left does not care about social justice. It cares about power.

That is why no truce is possible with the left. Not on social issues. Not on any issues.



Again - this is about the elites in the power structure - not Main Street America.

Now the Right Side has its issues as well... but for the Left, this nails it. Read the whole thing.

A solution is to make things uncomfortable for them. They are people - if they feel enough heat, they will back down and move elsewhere.

Changing language and so called "social justice" are some of their tools.

Once again the right doesn't understand that gays are not outside of the left, they are one component of the left coalition ERGO, if the left doesn't care about gays then GAYS DON'T CARE ABOUT GAYS!!!

Do you not see how utterly stupid your premiss is?

Neither did I. Apparently only the 'elites' do.

Yes there is a crazed desire for more and more government power but the article is lame. The exact same thing can be said about 90% of the population.

Agreed. Hence why we should never, ever hand power to the modern Republican party.
