I am not normal.
This, I learned from a news story 35 years ago. The details have faded with the passage of time, but the gist of it remains clear. Some expert had crunched a bunch of numbers in search of the average human being, the planetary norm, and found that she was an 8-year-old Japanese girl, living in Tokyo. I dont fit that profile; Im willing to bet you dont, either. So as a matter of statistical fact, Im not normal and neither are you. I went to church with Bruce Jenner. Here's what Caitlyn Jenner taught me about Jesus. I went to church with Bruce Jenner. Here's what Caitlyn Jenner taught me about Jesus.
Ive always found that story a useful corrective whenever I am tempted to declaim too haughtily on what is or isnt normal. I offer it now to Rush Limbaugh in the vain hope it will help him rethink his assault last week on the woman who used to be Bruce Jenner. Granted, the story was about planetary norms and Limbaugh was ranting about American social norms, but the principle still applies.

“the woman who used to be Bruce Jenner”
Wrong!
A crossdressing male is not normal.
Leftists always reject God and His absolutes of right & wrong.
To leftists, “normal” is relative and situational.
Sorry, what Bruce Jenner did is not and never will be “normal.” Not in my eyes and not in Gods either.
So, Clarence....did you ever go to church with Bill Clinton? How about Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson? How about Calypso Louie?
Caitlyn Jenner is not a woman. Check the chromosomes.
Also, women don’t have a penis.
#BasicBiologyFail
As a Freeper poet said lately “You can put tits on a duck, but that don’t make it a cow.”
I'm afraid mentally ill is the new normal. How else explain the political scene in America today?
Also, women dont have a penis.....Oh, crap!! Now you tell me.
If Bruce is “really a woman”, then why is he still attracted exclusively to women?
He was a lesbian trapped in a man’s body? Yet he wanted to retain a penis?
None of it adds up to the talking points.
10,000 people calling a cow a horse won’t make it so.
Whether Bruce, or whether Caitlyn, the proper term seems to be “the defendant”.
I am HTML challenged this am. Can’t get it to post on FR.
The best way to get attention is to write a column about Rush......I hope Rush ignores him.
—have notified the admin—author is Leonard Pitts, not Clarence Page-—my apologies—
“Down is up, wrong is right”
The Left HAS been redefining “the new normal”.
Claire may not like Rush discussing this but even Hollyweird made it clear they want to establish “The New Normal”.
What were once firm establishments in this country (religious and marriage traditions) have been plowed under by the “smash the patriarchy” “smash monogamy” attacks by the army of the so-called “Sexual Revolution”.

When women go wrong men go right after them. Mae West
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill wrote this over a century ago.
During my junior year in high school, the nuns asked about our plans for after we graduated. When I said I was going to attend State University, I noticed their disappointment. I asked my favorite nun, Why? She answered, That means youll leave four years later a communist and an atheist!
What a giggle we girls had over that. How ridiculously unsophisticated these nuns are, we thought. Then I went to the university and four years later walked out a communist and an atheist, just as my sister Katie had six years before me.
Sometime later, I was a young divorcee with a small child. At the urging of my sister, I relocated to NYC after spending years married to an American executive stationed in Southeast Asia. The marriage over, I was making a new life for my daughter and me. Katie said, Come to New York. Were making revolution! Some of us are starting the National Organization of Women and you can be part of it.
I hadnt seen her for years. Although she had tormented me when we were youngsters, those memories were faint after my Asian traumas and the break-up of my marriage. I foolishly mistook her for sanctuary in a storm. With so much time and distance between us, I had forgotten her emotional instability.
And so began my period as an unwitting witness to history. I stayed with Kate and her lovable Japanese husband, Fumio, in a dilapidated loft on The Bowery as she finished her first book, a PhD thesis for Columbia University, Sexual Politics.
It was 1969. Kate invited me to join her for a gathering at the home of her friend, Lila Karp. They called the assemblage a consciousness-raising-group, a typical communist exercise, something practiced in Maoist China. We gathered at a large table as the chairperson opened the meeting with a back-and-forth recitation, like a Litany, a type of prayer done in Catholic Church. But now it was Marxism, the Church of the Left, mimicking religious practice:
Why are we here today? she asked.
To make revolution, they answered.
What kind of revolution? she replied.
The Cultural Revolution, they chanted.
And how do we make Cultural Revolution? she demanded.
By destroying the American family! they answered.
How do we destroy the family? she came back.
By destroying the American Patriarch, they cried exuberantly.
And how do we destroy the American Patriarch? she replied.
By taking away his power!
How do we do that?
By destroying monogamy! they shouted.
How can we destroy monogamy?
Their answer left me dumbstruck, breathless, disbelieving my ears. Was I on planet earth? Who were these people?
By promoting promiscuity, eroticism, prostitution and homosexuality! they resounded.
They proceeded with a long discussion on how to advance these goals by establishing The National Organization of Women. It was clear they desired nothing less than the utter deconstruction of Western society. The upshot was that the only way to do this was to invade every American institution. Every one must be permeated with The Revolution: The media, the educational system, universities, high schools, K-12, school boards, etc.; then, the judiciary, the legislatures, the executive branches and even the library system.
It fell on my ears as a ludicrous scheme, as if they were a band of highly imaginative children planning a Brinks robbery; a lark trumped up on a snowy night amongst a group of spoiled brats over booze and hashish...
10,000 people who like the Emperor's new clothes can't be wrong. We have consensus.
No wonder she is so confused. Look where she learned about Jesus. I didn’t bother to go on and discover what she learned and I doubt that she did, either. I suspect that what she learned was Jesus can be the white version of “The Race Card”. “In trouble, need help? Just throw down your Jesus card and Voila, Saved”. (It is sort of like this “period, end parentheses thing on this bloody IPad. You just can NOT get it to work the way it is supposed to. So we have to pretend that “. is right even though we all know it is not. It ain’t right but it works so just move on.)
The Jenner stuff makes a good distraction while the politicians are destroying our country.
