I like Ben Shapiro because 1) he’s generally the smartest guy in the room, 2) he makes fools of those that believe that THEY are the smartet people in the room by believing they can trip Shapiro up.
This short snippet is not about any of the current hot button issues of the day that you’d find on a typical college campus. Instead, the questioner is asking what I thought was a smart question – after all the “important” stuff, what ELSE should I know about seeking a spouse?
With his usual aplomb, Shapiro doesn’t miss a beat and starts to roll through a few.
WHY I put this up, however, is that little bit that Shapiro spoke about traditional marriage – and the values that go with that. How many on the Right and those of Faith who ostensibly hold those values are not afraid to speak publicly about and on them? Most would shy away, not willing to go against the Left’s new pop culture (which, btw, they have formulated in getting rid of traditional family altogether in their “death by a 1,000 slices” approach in changing that culture). Not Shapiro.
I have no idea what he was talking about before this this but he quickly changed gears, revved the engine, and mashed the pedal to the floorboard. How many of you would do the same – fearing the reaction?
And yes, I was quite surprised by the audience’s reaction to it. However, there is a large, if oft obscured, telltale sign why. Did you catch it?
If you are one that is uneasy in talking plainly about such culture values, take heart – DO speak what you believe as this is your culture too, even as the Left wants you to believe that it isn’t and that you are either a bigot, extremist, or an old fuddy-duddy that will soon die off anyways. No matter which, their aim is to have you believe that your opinion doesn’t count. What should your response be Short and sweet:
UP YOURS!
