As you said in your post, the societal pressures appear to be building toward an eventual clash between the left and right. I can't see anyway to avoid it, for the fact that the left just doesn't know when to let up and stop pushing. They want their "fundamental transformation" NOW, and they're going to get it, if they have to exterminate every single person who stands in their way.

That mindset is a recipe for war, and they're going to push us into it if they don't start practicing some of that tolerance they're famous for.

That's a huge problem. In short, they are sore winners. No one likes a sore loser although understanding human nature, I can see why it happens. What's worse is being a sore winner. Sure, I can accept some schandenfreude, but it goes way beyond that to the point where they will push those who disagree with them into a corner. Sure, I have no problem with same sex marriage, people will do what they are going to do, I'm sure it has been going on for a long time. I have very religious friends, I have homosexual friends and I even have a transexual (he to a she) as a cousin (and she is very right wing) and I don't want to see anybody get hurt or worse. I know most people of all sides want to live their lives in peace but there are the captains of the agendas that want to push and sad to say, most of them are on the LGBT side. If they jsut accept their victory and go on along with respecting those who do not agree with them, I'm sure we all could live with that.

What hurts me the most is if we end up at some point where we could end up having to separate or fighting them and I really don't want to but I feel like we are being dragged so far, other options are running out. We cannot have an 1859 country in a 1938 world. There will be a time when we will not care who is gay, straight, Black, White, whatever when the word will challenge us with things like hyper Islam, North Korea and so forth. We will waste a lot of resources and even lives fighting each other instead of those outside threats. Myself, I don't care who is who and what they do as long as we can pull together and fight those outside threats as one. I even have no problem with homosexuals in the military as long as they are treated like anyone else, they have the same rights and duties as everyone else and they do their assigned jobs. If their sex life becomes a problem to that, they are out and that is for everyone gay or straight.

It's a shame the level headed ones, they are there, tell the radicals to stop pushing so hard.

I guess, I'm like a Glenn Beck, wish we all could get along but I think some will be able to but some others will not. I think in the end, we might have to fight and hopefully we can tell who is who so we can apply the force to those who deserve it and to keep harm of innocents to a minimum.

As to friends who are opposed to what many of us believe, I cut a lot of ties to them too, it's a shame it is that bad. Heck, we have a lefty co-worker that sometimes bugs us who do not agree. Since work is not a place for political conflicts, I just say, "yeah you guys won" and shut up. That's another point, don't let them get your goat.

In short, they are sore winners. No one likes a sore loser... What's worse is being a sore winner.

That is a very astute observation.

If I may, I think the reason the left behaves that way, is that they innately understand that anything short of fully exterminating the right, is just a short term gain for them.

They know in their blackened little hearts, that our side owns real virtue, courage, tolerance, honor, faithfulness, truth, fairness, honesty, endurance, trust, industry, patience, and even love.

They cannot overcome those who possess those kinds of qualities in abundance. They can only use those attributes against them, to beat them down, until their opponents are so badly weakened, they can deliver the final blow.

It's because in truth, they possess the polar opposite qualities and personal attributes to conservatives, and could never win a fair fight against us. And so, they push and push us to the wall, thinking that, at some point they'll crush us like a bug on the concrete.

We would be wronging the universe to let them get away with that.
