Currently the Progressive agenda is advancing on several fronts.
Hate crimes are now a special category. The term “hate crime” is rhetorical nonsense. People don’t kill because they love. Thugs don’t beat on someone to build the victim’s self esteem. Of course murder and assault are hate crimes. What these laws do is give the government the power to look into your thought life and punish you for having opinions that are not politically correct. It gives the elites the authority to pick the group they don’t like and destroy them because of what they think. Of course there is not way to prove what they think. This gives them a chance to label conservative Christians as terrorists. It makes you a racist if you have a Confederate battle flag in your possession. You are evaluated on your supposed thoughts, not your actions.
This opens the door to the Anti-Bullying Curriculum and diversity training that is sweeping our schools and corporate structures. The hunt is on for people who do not agree with how the Progressive Left defines proper thinking and values. You are now a bully if you tell a joke that makes one person in a crowd feel uncomfortable. It doesn’t matter that they feel uncomfortable because they are mentally unstable and you had no idea they would have hurt feelings. You are a bully. How do you know a racist? Simple. If the person is white, they are a racist. If they are non white, not guilty.
Transsexual bathrooms are a resent favorite. It has already been put into law in California. You are what you feel. If you have x and y chromosomes but feel like you are in touch with your feminine side you have the right to use the ladies’ room and the girls locker room. To question them makes you guilty of a hate crime.
Which brings us to whatever the Supreme Court actually said. Like all law we will only find out what the words of the decision mean when further interpreted by other confused justices.
And what is to come?
To be continued...

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.

Perhaps if we actually murdered the people that they say we hate, the smart ones would learn to simply avoid us. I know someone will say I'm being extreme again! ;-)
ReplyDeleteSince you and I know that goes totally against the teachings of Christianity, we don't get that stress reliever. However the Progressives don't seem to understand that they are bringing back what they should most fear.
DeleteExtreme usually means you are not being politically correct.
Grace and peace.
