I don’t know about you but I am sick of having every liberal on the planet describing any discussion of moral value as hate speech.  It was interesting to see the social media come alive following Obama’s expression of ignorance when he announced his position on same sex marriage.  I don’t want to dive off into that discussion but to shine a little light on the methods the supporters of his position use to attempt to inflict a demand for acceptance of that position.

Liberals, predictably, do not require a conservative to make any statement for them to make a preemptive strike.   Liberals just love to tell us what we are thinking.  Such liberal behavior is an attempt to cut off or moderate the discourse by making it painful to discuss a subject. A current is “Same sex marriage.”  It amounts to saying, “Shut up and listen to me!”  Implied in this approach is the thought that we don’t know anything about the subject.

The next step in the liberal play book is to lock down the discourse through condemnation.  Make the person that would participate in any honest discourse suffer.  Now if you want to see some true hate speech hang on.  Words like stupid, intolerant,  red-neck, hateful, bigot, religious bigot, Christian bigot, Republican bigot, or some other form of bigot.  I believe that liberals assign themselves additional debating points if they can identify conservatives as some sort of specialized bigot instead of just a common, garden variety bigot.  This all amounts to a refinement of third grade playground name-calling behavior.  The point missed by most liberals is that some of us view their condemnation as high praise.

If all of that fails, then the next attempt is to threaten to destroy the individual personally or financially.   Let a minister get some traction on one of these issues and they may soon learn that free speech and tax free charitable status are not mutually compatible in the mind of most liberals.  They can trash Christianity from any podium they wish but if you trash immorality from a pulpit you are violating the conventions of your 501(c) 3 status.    If you run a Christian activity and demand high moral standards you are prejudice, discriminatory, bigoted…more names follow but we already used them and I don’t want to repeat myself.

If the name-calling doesn’t gain a liberal some relief from an onslaught of facts their play book demands that they trash the discussion as conventional,ignorant, antique, unenlightened, and all those other names they use.  The purpose of this usually loud behavior is to prevent any factual discussion of the true issues.  At the heart of all these efforts is a group of self-serving, self-centered individuals that believe they were born with some special right and duty to inflict their opinions on the world.  

The liberals childish insistance does not make change right, proper, or desirable.  We all are entitled to our own personal opinion, but that does not make that opinion fact.  Each of us, as we proceed through life, are offered the opportunity to make many life-changing decisions.  Decisions that are coupled to consequences.  The consequences of our lifestyle decisions are for unavoidable.  If you choose to manage the distresses of life with illegal drugs, there are unavoidable consequences that are mostly bad.  Poor health, diminished social acceptance, legal problems etc.  If you choose to sit on the couch all day long, consume copious calories, never work, you have chosen the consequences that are coupled to that behavior.

If you choose an unconventional life style, you have chosen the outcomes that are coupled to that behavior, don’t blame society, the church or any individual that notices or comments.  I might suggest that if you argue with God, he gets the last word.   Believe it or not.
