Because he speaks out for conservative principles and routinely rips the left apart.
He drives them crazier than anyone because he’s gay and refuses to stay on the liberal plantation.
He’s getting more and more of a conservative following precisely because the left wants him dead. (Not exaggerating. He gets death threats from liberals daily and this speech was shut down just yesterday because of death threats at the university. Ironically, a Christian Church is hosting this today.)
Contrary to the hateful leftist propaganda, it is the Christians who consistently defend those with whom they disagree, and the Christians who show more genuine tolerance. The leftists (e.g., mark Zuckerberg) are the intolerant ones.
I once knew a virtual NAZI. I mean that: He was (is?) a half-German, half-Italian European fascist who immigrated to America; he had read Mein Kampf and revered Adolph HItler. (He was also very intelligent and articulate.)
We disagreed profoundly and pervasively, but he once surprised me by admitting that he was treated better by Christians and conservatives, including myself, than by atheist, (so-called) liberal Americans. Understand that he was himself an atheist, socialist and hedonist who despised Christianity, and considered Christians by and large to be deluded simpletons.
(Circumstances outside my control produced our association. I made the best of a difficult situation. Nevertheless, I tried to debate with him in a rational, civilized manner, unlike the abusive way I have been usually treated by so-called liberals who consider themselves so very tolerant.)
