Here's another one of those new morality changes to society the North Eastern Liberals are still trying to push.
Christie vetoes NJ bill that would allow transgenders to change their birth certificates
They are simply not content with any society that isn't changing it's moral positions. This is why concepts such as "change" and "equality" are so ubiquitous on the left.
They always want to force society to "change" and they always want to force "equality" on it. (that's what communism is.)
"Change" and "Equality" is more or less their mantra, and this is not *MY* recent observation, this is the thesis of the book "Leftism Revisited" by Erik Von Kuehnelt-Leddihin.
It has a foreword by William F. Buckley, so it's conservative pedigree is well earned. I suggest more people read it because it gives great insight into the forces with which we are contesting.
From what I read, it sounds like the author was an interesting guy. He's another one who grew up, looked around and then chose the United States. It seems he opposed democracy and was a critic of "leftism."
I remember being impressed by something Reagan wrote:
"'You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man’s age-old dream — the maximum of individual freedom consistent with order — or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path.'"
There was a practical side to Reagan's philosophy that I always admired. I tend to deal with problems one issue at a time and I try not to let labels serve as a shortcut or detour. But, I am getting older and bit slower, probably.
Thanks for introducing me to this author. ;-)
