I\u2019m convinced, should be something akin to \u2018We would abort\u00a0six million babies for better orgasms!\u201d.\u00a0 Here<\/a> is a fluff piece of all fluff pieces to demonstrate the from-under-the-rock nature of the PML in all its glory, shielding itself with a cause that is, in itself, a good cause \u2013 keeping teenagers from committing suicide from bullying (something that speaks more about our modern culture, but that\u2019s for a different post).\u00a0 Radical leftist journalist (and boy do I use the term \u2018journalist\u2019 lightly) Joshua Kors, praises and worships at the alter of Dan Savage, the fellow who equates anything short of venerating\u00a0Gay Sex to be bullying which, of course, must be stopped.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The piece begins by reminding us that Savage is one of those who, despite the deaths of almost\u00a0 30 million AIDS victims<\/a>*, still promises unbridled sexual pleasures with the assurance that it won\u2019t be you who becomes a statistic.\u00a0 The piece goes on to give us a list of the Colberts, the Obamas, the Mahers, and all others who are willing to stand by while tens of millions die of AIDS, and tens of millions of other lives are lost and ruined due to the sex and drugs culture or our age.\u00a0 Can there be anything more grotesquely irresponsible than promoting a culture of sexual promiscuity in the wake of a pandemic caused primarily by sexual promiscuity? <\/p>\n

Yet the promise, especially to young people, is tantalizing:\u00a0 Focus on yourself.\u00a0 Everyone who doesn\u2019t affirm your focusing on yourself is, of course, the bad guy.\u00a0 That you could be the bad guy isn\u2019t even in the equation.\u00a0 It\u2019s them, it\u2019s always them.\u00a0 So be what you want to be, get what you want to get, and do what you want to do with whoever you want to do it, as long as you end up being a person who focuses on yourself and sees sex as the ultimate defining characteristic of reality.\u00a0 Anything that doesn\u2019t affirm you in that?\u00a0 That\u2019s the bad guy.\u00a0 It\u2019s the natural human tendency that makes propaganda so readily believed, even when all common sense screams the opposite. <\/p>\n

And how do they continue to promote such an attitude when any kid able to see the emperor is naked can also see that AIDS and that very attitude are inextricably linked?\u00a0 Well, that\u2019s where our basic contempt for all human life comes into play.\u00a0 That\u2019s where the teaching that all humanity, not just non-Europeans, is a festering malignant blight upon the world anyway.\u00a0 What is human life but pointless unless you are having sex with as many individuals as you want?\u00a0 And for the gangbangs?\u00a0 No problem there, that\u2019s why the gods of progressivism have given us abortion on demand.\u00a0 For who wants a bunch of snot-nosed brats <\/a>running around interfering with your orgies?\u00a0 <\/p>\n

No, the attitudes behind the post-modern Left take the absolute worst of the attitudes floating around Europe at the dawn of the 20th century, and multiply them a thousandfold.\u00a0 The human suffering and waste of life that has occurred as a result?\u00a0 Either ignore it, or justify\u00a0it.\u00a0 That\u2019s why we have our entertainment industry, our media, and our educational institutions to help in just such a case. And don\u2019t worry about those pesky kids who think the emperor is naked.\u00a0 As story<\/a> after story<\/a> after story<\/a> after story<\/a> demonstrates, including the frequent tirades of our dear Mr. Savage, no censorship is too small, no oppression is too small, no intimidation is too small, no eradication of ungoodthink is too small, when the carrot at the end of the stick is the promise of a life focused on self to the exclusion of any other consideration, and especially fulfilled through the sacrament of sexual hedonism and debauchery. <\/p>\n

*The total number of AIDS deaths is quickly approaching the total number of humans butchered by Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler combined.\u00a0 Yet we insist it\u2019s due to ignorance, lack of education, and the need for more condoms, despite the fact that we have spent billions on education, treatment, and condom distribution to the near exclusion of just about every other conceivable concern<\/a> for the last 30 years.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
