Leftist ideology must trump reality
Posted by MK on July 6, 2009
Daily Mail – Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman has dismissed Tory support for marriage as ‘hypocritical moralising’. Miss Harman ended a week of Labour and Tory rowing over gay rights and family life by attempting to slap down Conservative plans for tax breaks to encourage marriage. ……Mr Cameron has already promised support for marriage, and his party is ready to accept a report prepared by its former leader, Iain Duncan Smith, which will call for tax breaks for married couples and laws to make divorce harder.
Labour has, however, spent its 12 years in power stripping marriage of its financial and legal privileges while insisting all forms of family relationship are equally good. ……The political wrangling on family policy comes as research was published showing married couples are much more likely to establish stable families. Mothers who live with their partner are more than twice as likely to become single parents than married mothers, it found. ……And a major study by the Children’s Society charity has said that children do best when brought up by two parents with a long-term commitment to each other.
It revealed children of separated parents are 50 per cent more likely to do poorly at school, be unpopular with other children and suffer from behavioural difficulties, anxiety and depression. Last year a paper from the Department for Children, Schools and Families said that stable families are better for children and acknowledged that ’some family forms face greater challenges than others’. However Labour leaders have remained firmly convinced that money rather than family structure is responsible for children’s difficulties.
Never mind, the children, never mind the break down of society, never mind the evidence, the facts and all that.The leftist ideology of homo rights, homo=great and everyone else sucks always trumps. Why, it’s almost as if they really want society to turn to shit, that they really don’t give a shit about children, parents, families or anything good, but they just can’t admit it publicly. If only the voters out there didn’t have to only learn after everything’s turned to shit.

If the facts won’t conform to ideology, just change the facts (or ignore them).
Humanity (to the leftist) is perfectable; all that is required is embracing the leftist trope in all facets of life. Once that is accomplished, then the ultimate worker’s paradise/children’s paradise/etc can be created. Of course, we’ll be living in “1984″, but that is a price to be paid for perfection.
Unfortunately, humanity is barely tolerable, let alone perfectable. I jest. Kind of.

Makes me realize how very lucky and blessed I am to have found my soul mate, to still be together after all these years, to still love and respect each other. While marriage between a man and woman is being denigrated and stripped, marriage between same sexes (and who know what in the future) are being pushed down our throats.

Good for Mr. Cameron!
Regardless of how society goes, I’ll never consider homosexuality normal or think of homosexual marriage as being a real marriage. We both know it our hearts that there’s nothing normal about it. We have to keep fighting against it, even if we lose the battle. It is definitely a black and white issue, with no grey whatsoever!

You nailed it, MK– leftists are, by nature, deniers of reality. Reality itself is racist, intolerant, and they must live in their fantasy world. The only problem is, when they perpetuate their stupid ideas on society, this is the result.

This is just a continuation of the left’s 40+ year war on traditional marraige. It is stunning though that they keep it up considering that the statistics are overwhelmingly in favor of kids in traditional families. Kids outside of this framework have significantly higher levels of poverty, teen pregnancy, high school drop out rates, etc. Yet they then rattle on about leveling the playing field for the kids that do not have the same “advantages” as kids from stable families. Just more proof that liberalism is a mental disorder.

I do think that is the ultimate goal — the breakdown of society so as to further The Nanny State.

Thanks folks.
Indeed mgraves, and welcome to my blog.
There’s a hidden agenda behind it Debbie, a nefarious one.
Same here RaDena, but i fear we’re a dying breed, along with western society.
Yeah Karen, i don’t begrudge them their stupidity and fantasies, it’s the fact that i have to live with it that grates with me.
A dangerous mental disorder Chuck, dangerous for the rest of us.
Yep, when it’s all broken down and in pieces who can you turn to Always.
