Looks like it\u2019s closer than ever<\/a>. \u00a0One of the last holdouts\u00a0against\u00a0the Gay Rights juggernaut is beginning to crumble. \u00a0It\u2019s not easy to withstand a withering\u00a0assault\u00a0from multiple sides, while those who might defend you are splitting into a\u00a0thousand\u00a0fragments of\u00a0varying\u00a0opinions, blame games, and trying to get to the top of the hill. Whether it happens or not, I don\u2019t know. \u00a0Eventually it will. \u00a0Just like gay marriage will be the law of the land, and no matter how we slice it, those who reject such morality either will be consigned to the outer darkness, into the\u00a0ghettos and treated like the second class citizens they are, or they\u2019ll find a way to conform to the new morality. \u00a0Conservatism\u00a0can mean\u00a0many\u00a0things, which is why it\u2019s losing. \u00a0Liberalism, for the want of a better term, is a singular revolutionary worldview united for a common cause,\u00a0which\u00a0is why it\u2019s winning.<\/p>\n

Update<\/b>: \u00a0It must be in the bag, and a\u00a0great\u00a0thing to. \u00a0This story<\/a> asks the searing question about what scouts and scout masters think \u00a0and\u00a0guess\u00a0what? \u00a0Every one of those quoted are in support of lifting the ban. \u00a0Why, that can only mean one thing: all\u00a0scouts\u00a0are 100% behind gay rights! \u00a0Must be true, the media says so. \u00a0I know, it\u2019s only Yahoo News, but still.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
