Silence Is Assimilation

assimilatedI’ve made the point a time-or-two that the same sex marriage debate was never about marriage unless by marriage you mean it’s destruction as an institution.  Marriage is a leading cause of children and children are a leading cause of families, personal responsibility, and even a tendency toward more conservative principles.  That is why the left has worked so hard to detach sex from child-bearing, marriage, or even love.

Single moms are inevitable under this cultural regime and ripe for the left-wing harvest, their children willingly sacrificed to the Left’s institutions where propaganda ministers shape the minds of future generations.

Single moms are the byproduct of a determined political agenda which includes the end of marriage as anything other than a semi-formal admission of exclusivity until one or the other parties “moves on.”

The African American community has suffered and lost the most throughout that battle and they continue to be used by the left.  But this strategy was far less effective on everyone else so the left needed another avenue of attack.

“Gay marriage” became that vanguard, launched on an exposed flank of the culture, aided and abetted by people who refused to see it as anything but a personal freedom movement about choices and even…love.

What we got was fabulously jack-booted diversity storm troopers who seek to destroy any cultural “idol” that is not their own or any who dares to ‘worship’ them.

Homosexual Sharia is sacred.

No job is safe, whether you own a bakery, or a pizzeria, or are an executive at a global presence.   The Gay-BORG will come to assimilate you and if you will not assimilate you will be destroyed.

Pete Kaliner, a radio host at 570 WWNC has had a come to Jesus moment so to speak with regards to same-sex marriage.  His position sounds like the typical libertarian one.  Just get the state out of the business and things will be fine.  But the gay marriage debate was never about letting any two people who love each other form a union for the purpose of sharing their stuff until death or a better offer do they part.  It was about the Left’s culture war.

>For years, I have argued that the state should remove itself from the business of sanctifying marriages. Contract law would cover the legalities of a relationship, and benefits would not accrue to citizens based upon whom they choose to offer monogamy.

And for years, I have argued with conservatives on air – trying to convince them that the limited government philosophy can support this position.

As you might imagine, my position has led to some pretty heated debates over the years, and I was quick to smack down fears that churches would be forced to perform same sex marriages, or that people would be punished for not being made to agree. I deemed these wildly hypothetical fantasies.

But I was wrong.

It’s worth the read for context and the article is not overly long, but I’ll jump to the end to make the point.

I find myself at odds now with a lot of proponents of same sex marriage who appear to be walking the charred battlefield of the cultural war and shooting the wounded.

I apologize for thinking this was about only equal treatment under the law. I apologize for dismissing conservatives’ fears that this slippery slope would lead to de facto banishment from various sectors of the public square.

I thought people just wanted to be left alone. I was wrong.

For many, they wanted forced conversions.

As such, it’s only fair we ask where it ends.

As I have so often pointed out of late, it never ends.  They can never take too much from you.  And no matter what they take, it is never enough.  I have also observed that many in the gay community were being used on this issue.  That the professional left does not give a damn about them, or their “love,” or even issues important to them, and that continues to be true.  Anyone of influence who dares to wander from the plantation will fall into line or be destroyed.  And I’d bet that at the more local level there is tremendous intimidation and bullying within the gay community to conform to the statist narrative or be outcast.

You will not be left alone, and you will be made to care.

Need a more visible example of how that works?  Look at unions, used by the left to advance socialist health care policy that they discovered, too late, is harmful to their members; harmful to everyone but an elite, inevitably and by design.

Look closer at the Professional Left’s recent war on cops whose lives are worth sacrificing to advance a competing and presumably superior progressive narrative.   Ferguson, hands up don’t shoot, and a complicit media selling the latest narrative to spur riots meant to destabilize society.  Cops lives are grist for the mill and the Left couldn’t care less.

The left has always hated cops, honors cop killers, and they are fools for thinking their unions will side with them when the revolution comes.  Firefighters, you have been warned as well.  They don’t give a damn about you either and you will be expected to let the world burn when the time comes.

Even teachers are learning that their unions are not at all interested in teaching or students.  They are about programming children and if you will not help them you had best get out of their way.

The left does not care about your race, sex, orientation, religion, age, or occupation.  There is no living wage or equal pay.  Diversity is a lie.  Wall Street is not their enemy nor is big business.  There is no “choice.” And they could care less if they create jobs, pave roads, or build bridges.

And while there may be a legitimate debate to be had about the role of the state with regard to marriage, the fight for gay marriage was never about that and never will be about that.  There is no gay marriage “debate” and there never was.  There is only one acceptable position to have until marriage as a concept has finally been destroyed.  Until then, you will agree with them or you will be silent as with every other progressive position.

And silence is assimilation.
