Rod Dreher on Chick-fil-A

Yep. This is what liberals really mean when they say words such as “diversity”, “tolerance”, “listening”, etc. Oceania’s Ministry of Truth could not create better verbiage.

Many on the left, when faced with perceived bigotry and intolerance show just how bigoted and intolerant they are.

Isn’t it ironic, Publius, that in the dogged pursuit of “diversity,” the Left is forcing every organization to look and act just like every other organization?  It’s a Great Homongenization, not diversification.

When my daughter was a first-year college student at Smith College, she called me and her mother in November and told us she was thinking about becoming a Republican. We were astounded, and asked why. The answer was because she couldn’t stand her fellow students insisting that everybody in their oh-so-diverse student body had to think exactly the same, and there was nothing she could do that would better convey her disgust. She didn’t do it, but I think she learned a great lesson: diversity is better defined by the ways we think, than the way we look.

Diversity is code for conformity. What’s the opposite of diversity? University. I stole that from Mark Steyn.

I like that, Romkey.  And David, Thomas Sowell says diversity is ideological conformity hiding behind superficial differences.  It’s more of a pose than anything; a woozy, wooly feeling one has about other cultures, civilizations, communities, etc.  You don’t actually have to know anything about them, just having this pose suffices.  Oh, and a hard left weltanschauung

... this kind of thing is why many Christians and other social conservatives fear what’s coming.

Not the imagined fear that the pro-gays have always claimed was there, but the actual fear they themselves have created.

“A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices”—William James

Just shows the Left are just like everybody else.  It’s all about THEM.

I was reared in an ethos where people’s sex lives were an inappropriate topic of conversation.  It didn’t matter if their sex lives were homosexual or heterosexual, monogamous or promiscuous.  Life was full of all sorts of interesting stories without resorting to sex. 
Now, I can’t get away from sex as a topic of conversation.  I weary of seemingly every church convention, every political vote, every fast food restaurant choice now being driven by the bisexual-lesbian-transgendered-gay activists.  I weary of their puppets, the mainstream media and the celebrities. 

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

I heard on the radio that the homosexual leadership is planning to have “make out” sessions in front of Chick fil-A.  Nice.
