I agree with you regarding "liberals," as to the fact that my experience has shown that most of them are often politically correct, yet aren't to be found when the chips are down and/or they become "liberal fascists" when they perceive that their own ox is being gored or their own prejudices are being violated. I do agree with Frankl that there are two races in the world: the decent and the indecent.

It is a mistake to think that progressive ...Jerry,<br /><br />It is a mistake to think that progressive politics necessarily includes support for LGBT equality. My community, the African-Americans, is the perfect example. We are very progressive on most social issues, even abortion rights, which my otherwise conservative mother supports. However, the attitudes are set in stone when it comes to anything having to do with Gay or transgender identity. They don't even need a Rev. Donnie McClurkin or Ken Hutcherson to tell them to oppose equality (although there are loads of McClurkins and Hutchersons out there). Compassion for LGBT brethren is something that has nothing to do with politics or ideology; Ted Olson supports marriage equality, after all. It has to do with the basic goodness of a person. My recent experience as a whistleblower has shown me how few basically good people are left in this world. The Seven Deadly Sins have taken over! That's why you and your family are such a treasure.DC HAMPTON JACOBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884630801131861786noreply@blogger.com
