This guy is a good example of why it's important to defend every human being who's got their head on straight.. until all of us can look past how others were born, then we're no better than the people who seek to destroy everything we love about this country.

We tried that. It doesn't seem to be going very well.

you're seeing the effects of what a couple decades of indoctrination has done. What neglecting the school systems has done. Look how tv and cartoons are radically different..

The fact remains, we tried that, and it seems to have undeniably made things much worse.

Indoctrination is a problem. But, I don't agree that it's an excuse, nor do I believe that only one problem plagues our society. Moreover, one could argue that the devotion to seemingly unmitigated tolerance--the predecessor to the new left agenda of today--is an indoctrination of its own.

This seems to be an illustration of a right wing trope: that the right is always just 10 years or so behind the left. The left continues going left, and so does the right, just slower. And so, today we hear the right speaking the message of the left from years or decades past. In another decade or so, I'm sure we'll see the new right openly embracing and defending transgenderism, as well.

It sounds like you're implying that the examples you describe have changed society, but I don't think that's true. I would argue that these things are not causal, but consequential. They're the result, not the trigger. This is what the devotion to tolerance buys.

Also, the exception does not make the rule.

Dennis Prager cites Victor Frankl often who said: "There are only two races of men: The decent, and the indecent."

True, but what about those who have lived a life of sin who changed into good men?

Then they join the decent race.
