'Civil Rights' And Totalitarianism

This is the most conservative of all the Democratic presidential candidates, note well.

So, as the man says, let’s be clear: if you think it might be a bad idea for biological males to compete against your daughter in the high school women’s sports league, or that biological males do not belong in your daughter’s or wife’s locker room, or even if you dissent from gender ideology at all, as the left-wing feminist J.K. Rowling did publicly late last year — then you are on the same side as Bull Connor and the Ku Klux Klan, and will deserve the hatred you receive.

This is how left-wing identity politics works today. The Age of Entitlement, Christopher Caldwell’s dark, provocative new book illuminates how the concept of “civil rights” has been weaponized to demolish constitutional principles. If you’ve heard anything about the book, it’s probably something along the lines of this Jonathan Rauch review in the NYT...

This may come across as nit-picking or even missing the point, but we have bastardized the language beyond recognition if we refer to Joe Biden as "conservative" in any frame of reference. Unprincipled, opportunistic, mendacious, self-serving, etc. maybe. Conservative? Not so much.

Accuracy is important if we want to hold to truth and saying this person is "the most conservative" of that revolting bunch is a bit like picking up the turd by the clean end.

The entire "Trans" movement is all about brainwashing.

One of the things you find in cults is that they make their new recruits repeat back things that are patently untrue. Over time that softens the brain to the point that reality and fable blend until you can no longer tell one from the other. Once that happens the lie becomes truth.

Mammals can not change their sex. This is a basic objective reality. By insisting that a person can change their sex and punishing those who persist seeing reality you can set up the culture, especially children, for brainwashing.

That is why this has to be the place where we not only draw the line but must insist on speaking the blunt reality.

Humans do not have a gender, we have a sex.

That sex is either male or female.

It is written in every cell of your body.

It is not able to be changed.

All tranny crap needs to end on both sides.

Its not good for men either. Don’t just focus on one side because of one issue of mismatched strength. that’s the wrong strategy and its very myopic.

There is a fundamental problem with alowing either to be in the others private spaces and teams. They arent the only ones who dont want the other gender taking up a space reserved for a biological man or woman.

The article did not mention the greatest threat. Moslems using this civil rights madness to institute Sharia law. Another question to ponder, how did the civil rights act pass Constitutional muster? If you say it’s because the Constitution has been amended from the original you are getting close.
