The Hypocrisy of Intolerant Liberals
Once you understand that godless liberals, progressives, socialists,
and communists cannot hope to succeed in their aims while the masses worship God
more than man, then the hypocrisy of the left begins to make sense.
Their efforts to elevate the “wisdom”
of men, in direct conflict with the commandments of God, are first defended with
calls for loving, Christian tolerance and understanding from God worshippers, but
as soon as any sort of critical mass of acceptance is achieved, the calls for tolerance
quickly turn from pleas into accusations of intolerance. They begin to attack and demonize those who aren't
willing to wholeheartedly accept their patently ludicrous stances.
Consider the trajectory of liberal fascism
that led to the recent controversy in North Carolina over HB2.
After gaining legal acknowledgement
in the courts to support same-sex marriage, the liberal movement shifted its focus
to gaining acceptance for transgenders.
The City Council of Charlotte passed
an ordinance requiring that private businesses allow people to use women's and men's
bathrooms and shower facilities at their own discretion, depending upon whether
the individual “feels” like a woman or a man at that moment.
The government overreach in this case
is appalling on its face, and the notion that a person with male genitals can stroll
into a women's bathroom and shower facilities at will is preposterous. If a man who wasn't claiming to “feel like a woman”
walked into a women's shower facility, undressed, and used the showers, he would
rightly be arrested for indecent exposure, at the least. Perhaps he would be charged with some form of sexual
assault, and, if there were minor girls present, he would be charged as a sex offender
for exposing himself in that manner.
This city ordinance would have wiped
out all those protections against such lewd conduct and given them the protection
of law. It was the local government forcing
private businesses to accept this change, regardless of their own views or desires.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory
and the state legislators convened a special session of the legislature to address
this case of government overreach and outrageous abuse of the principle of consent
of the governed. By an overwhelming majority,
they passed House Bill 2 (HB 2), which prohibited local governments from requiring
private businesses to implement rules requiring them to allow men to use women's
bathroom and shower facilities.
This common-sense limitation of unfettered
governmental overreach was met with a firestorm of cries of discrimination, intolerance,
and accusations of being “haters” from the liberals.
I call this a common-sense measure because
it is just that. Regardless of whether a
person “feels” like a man or a woman, their actual gender is manifested by their
genitalia and by their chromosomes. It is
not at all a question of mental or emotional orientation. It is wholly a matter of biology and science.
At this point, some will inevitably
throw out the circumstance of true hermaphrodites—those unfortunate individuals
that are born with both male and female genitals. These individuals are more correctly referred
to as intersex, rather than hermaphrodites, because they cannot reproduce asexually.
Statistics on the occurrence of intersex
births puts this biological phenomena between one-tenth of one percent to as high
as 1.7% of all live births, depending upon the extent of the presence of both gender
indicators present in the body. So at the
outside, this is less than 2% of the population.
As for transsexuals, people who are
surgically altering their genitals to change their appearance, if their genitals
are still what they were born with, then they need to look in their shorts and choose
their bathroom according to what they see there, not by what they “feel.”
It does not make sense to allow men
and women, boys and girls, to all use the same bathrooms and shower facilities simultaneously,
just to accommodate less than 2% of the population and a few folks who haven’t yet
completed their surgical transition.
There is no question in my mind that
the next counter-intuitive legal foray on the sexual front will be to redefine pedophiles
into a sexual identity that will require legal accommodation and the removal of
legal sanctions for their behavior. Coupled
with that will be an effort to lower the age of sexual consent from the current
standard of 16 years of age down closer to 8.
This will allow pedophiles to claim that their intercourse with a child of
either sex was consensual and not subject to the legal sanctions of rape.
While liberals are trying to force social
conservatives to first become tolerant of, and then embrace, all sorts of behaviors
that are in direct contradiction of the commandments of God, they are working with
the other hand to be utterly intolerant of the behaviors of God worshippers. While fighting for the right of their own to behave
as they want, they actively seek to deny the rights of those who disagree to behave
as they want. And, as was proven by the actions
of the Charlotte City Council, they are perfectly willing to use the powers of government
to force their views and behaviors onto both public and private businesses and individuals.
