The Left *must* always feel superior to the masses, the bourgeois. To do so, they have a need to constantly show their superiority by championing THE CAUSE. The cause is whatever your average walking around normal person would consider to be abnormal. The Left then has a topic which with to hammer the masses and enforce the Left’s idea of being above the masses.

Unfortunately, once the masses cave to whatever is the cause-de-jure, the Left has to ratchet up to the next cause, no matter how absurd or destructive to the society.

I think of the left as being children throwing tantrums. If you give in to such children, they will only increase their demands. They will keep pushing the limits, and if you don't show limits, they just keep pushing them.

Unfortunately, society has allowed these spoiled children to have everything they whine for. And, just like children, the leftists are unhappy with getting everything they threw tantrums over because, like children, they really want someone to impose limits.

It really is okay for society to say, "No, your demand is unreasonable, and we aren't giving it to you." And to stick with it, no matter how many times the leftists whine about it.

What’s with the left’s utter obsession with who is sleeping with who and what appendages they’re doing it with?

For an LA paper, many of the comments are very interesting in their conservative tone.

Nobody can argue against it without making the argument for amorality, at which point I bring up the idea that it means if I were to execute them I would have as much moral authority as they are claiming

thats my strategy of late for all things *progressive*...

if *rules* dont apply, at all, i very well may run the game to the extremes...beware Godless ones of what you wish for...laws protect them from us more than vicey versey...

It's not just a matter of enforcing a political orthodoxy that we find distasteful. They want to enforce habits of thought incompatible with emotional stability.

In short, crazy left wingers aren't just "crazy" in terms of taking what we think of as crazy political positions.

Craziness as such, distinct from this or that political issue, is what is being demanded.

They have no rights; only privileges.

...transgender ...


Let's not call them GAY any more...


 

Genesis 13:13
Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and
their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men
from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them
."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Doonesbury Cartoon for Feb/08/2013

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.


Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.



2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done.
Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.



But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

When the first pervert goes into a rest room where my daughter is, that when the real fight begins.

Lesbians do this all the time now.

The law's goal was to accommodate children born male or female, but who identify differently.

The 'name it and claim it' gospel on steroids!!

CA Citizens Voted that Marriage is Between one Man and one Woman years ago. A Judge overturned it.

What difference would another Ballot Initiative make if the Courts ignore the will of the People anyway?

Great analysis.

Another factor is that those who feel guilt over their perversions want to force everyone else to accept it as normal in order to ease their guilt and shore up their self-esteem. As soon as one perversion is “normalized” it opens the door for the next level of perversion. As you say, ratcheting up to the next cause.

You posted lots of great Bible quotes, but Psalms 12:8 speaks to our times. G-d tried to warn us.
