Andrew Sullivan: Defining Decency Down

A word on Andrew Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan—a fake conservative—recently penned his displeasure with the GOP bill that (barely) repeals and replaces Obamacare. I know. No one should be surprised that an HIV-positive unrepentant homosexual who’s “married” to another man, and who once advertised for multiple-partner unprotected sex, is displeased with republican legislation on health care. Sullivan’s criticisms aren’t anything new, but he does provide an interesting look into the liberal mindset when it comes to the role of government and what is “decent.”

Sullivan—in spite of living a life that is quite contradictory to both—has long claimed to be a conservative and a Christian. After the GOP-led House took the first steps toward officially giving Obamacare its well-deserved legislative funeral, Sullivan wrote,

You might think Obamacare would violate my generally conservative principles, but it didn’t. In fact, it seemed to me to be an effective marriage of conservative principles and, well, human decency.

[liberalism is suicide]

A sodomite talking about “decency”—imagine that!

And, as another recently put it: Any man that describes another man as his ‘husband’ is automatically excluded from serious consideration.

I used to read Sullivan's blog around 9/11 - he was genuinely shocked and came out strongly in favor of military action both in Afghanistan and Iraq. He soon turned hard left, wrote his mea culpa and started denouncing Bush, and as far as I could tell, the sole reason was because Bush did not come through for him on gay rights.

I don't doubt that he's a Christian, in the style of watered-down, timid Christianity that hangs on in Western Europe today under a growing tide of Islam. But I have no idea why Sullivan considers himself a conservative by any modern definition of the word.

But I have no idea why Sullivan considers himself a conservative by any modern definition of the word. One could make the same case--though, admittedly, there is only ONE defn. to consider--when it comes to Sullivan and Christianity.

“But I have no idea why Sullivan considers himself a conservative by any modern definition of the word.”

Andrew Sullivan is conservative in the same way that he represents “decency”.

Ole Andrew is an expert on decency. LOL
