"...for which..."
Sorry, should have been "...for whom..."
Yes, you're right - once the exclusive preserve of the California, Esalen, Gestalt Therapy, hippie-dippy crowd, now everyone's into the touchy-feely stuff. Indeed, apparently we're not even allowed any longer to appreciate the strong, silent cowboy type, inasmuch as, if the homosexualists are to be believed, THEY were all out on the range licking each other's six-shooters.
It's a form of cultural Marxism, in a way; egalitarianism run rampant. That is, as in a Communist society, no one is allowed to have anything that everyone else doesn't have. Well, nowadays no one is allowed to have any virtues or strengths everyone else doesn't have - so "Let's vilify society's heroes" and attempt, as best we can, to show they were no better than anyone else.
On the other hand, as we now know, in the world's Communist societies all comrades were equal, but some comrades were a little MORE equal - the commissars. Our new commissars are the homosexualists; the journalists; the Leftist politicians and their supporters; the film makers and their elves among the ranks of complicit actors and actresses; the enviro-Greens; the women's liberationists, and so on - everyone, in fact, in the Collective who is dedicated to tearing down our age-old social conventions and the Western, Judeo-Christian traditions upon which they're based.
Despite the danger from mindless fascism our society currently faces, I have always felt the true enemy of our Republic is this insidious Marxism that rooted itself so deeply in the counter culture of the peace movements during the 60's and 70's. Now these people are older and have moved onto different stages of their lives where they are key players within media, education, government, and even business, but they still hold onto this ridiculous ideal.
Communism is still the antithesis of our capitalistic society, and it's unwarranted influence must always be guarded against until it is finally wiped irrevocably from the minds of all men.
