If your vote was unconstitutional, it was worthless.

And to their horror they may end up empowering/giving legs to ideas that actually deserve to die.

The truth of an idea is found in free, open debate and discussion AND in how people live their lives. Each day, life as it actually is, the only teacher. So if gay marriage is a fact on the ground, and a total non-issue to people in their 20’s and 30’s, then so be it.

The issues themselves are irrelevant for the left, especially the academic left. What is important is the concept of struggle. Radical social change will arise, as theorized by Lenin, Mao, Marx and many others, through constant struggle, the more violent and extreme, the better. Ideally, according to this school of thought, all that’s left in the end, standing in the smoking ashes, is the state. In classical marxist/leninist thought this struggle took the form of class struggle, but in America since the 1940’s this has been a concept without legs as the culture increasingly blurred the lines between the classes. To fill this void, the left embraced identity struggle/identity politics. Black vs. white. Straight vs. gay. Man vs. woman. This approach gives the base the need they feel for authenticity and it also promotes a divide and conquer to the larger society.

Thank You Thought Police

Well said Steve

Oh Skip you made my day with that comment! Poor 0 poodle girl!

Did you get a job to pay for all those attorney fees you owe, Rex?

It is “RICO”, LOL! And you must have an underlying predicate crime to invoke it- civilly or criminally…..

And Chris, I appreciate that you voted against Prop. 8, but not many of your ideological comrades can say the same.

Steve with more of his SPIN…it just never stops. Are you paid by the word???

So tell us Steve, how on Earth could you possibly know the voting record of Chris’ “comrades” on Prop 8????
