Quite so, Daniel. The new morality is the old sin. Sin with fervor and you will be praised for your character.

Marriage is not a secular entity. It is a religious one. What the government says on the matter is pretty meaningless. If your kids don’t understand that you brought the up wrong.

Take divorce for example. Divorce is a government action, since Henry The 8th.

The only thing fixed about it is the need to fight for the oppressed...

There is another, its corollary: the necessity to damage, even kill, the Oppressor. That is, in application, pretty much whoever the activists decide it is, whether there actually ever was any oppression or not. The constant in class warfare is warfare, not class.

The power conferred by the control of this warfare is immense. If, for example, you happen to be a leader in a country that has just lost a war and is crippled by reparations, and you can find some Jews to blame, You can ride that all the way to a Third Reich. You need not be a majority. Activists never are. All you need is the power.

Greenfield pretty much nails it as usual.

Every Democratic presidential candidate was against gay marriage in 2008 and for it now. What changed? Nothing, except the money changing hands and sitcoms about gay couples. And the latter is what it comes down to. Instead of church and state, we are stuck with sitcom and state where the existence of a television comedy is a reflection of national values.

And what happens when one of the burgeoning shows about polygamous marriages becomes a big hit? Then we'll have no choice but to ratify polygamous marriage equality because that's the new national values system and the television ratings prove that everyone is clearly down with it.

This year Reid calls us 'domestic terrorists' next year - new mood - new meme. Execution by firing squads... yeah, that's popular. What's to stop him? The old morality?

Conservative is the new Negro.

It makes even Kafka's worlds seem positively stodgy by comparison. It is a trial where the only people to be found not guilty are those who already been convicted. It's a system that favors the people who claim to be dispossessed by the system. It is an absurd self-negation that exists as a mathematical impossibility and a living satire.

Twisted as it seems - it's how it works...
