They were always deadly serious about criminalizing Christianity and killing free speech but now the American left has stopped pretending otherwise. In a recent column titled Why Are They Called Homofascists? Heres Why" I wrote that progressive" Christian-hating fascists" but I repeat myself are hell-bent on criminalizing Christianity and pushing to the fringes anyone who publicly acknowledges natural human sexuality and the age-old immutable institution of legitimate marriage as created by God."
I was referring specifically to the lefts well-organized and highly disturbing character assassination of former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich for his private support of natural marriage. I was also addressing the larger goal of the American left to completely shut down free speech and freedom of religion and to severely punish anyone who maintains both biblically and biologically correct views on human sexuality.
I closed with this: They smell blood in the water. Ive often said that these folks want those who speak biblical truth about human sexuality and legitimate marriage either 1) dead 2) imprisoned or if they can have neither of these 3) marginalized to the point where they cant even support their families.
Check No. 3 off the list. I guess theyre working backwards."
The very next day and as if right on cue lefty rag Slate magazine vomited evidence of my claims. It could not have been better scripted if Id written it myself.
In an article titled Purge the Bigots" Slate writer William Saletan penned these chilling words: Some of my colleagues are celebrating. They call Eich a bigot who got what he deserved. I agree. But lets not stop here. If were serious about enforcing the new standard thousands of other employees who donated to the same anti-gay ballot measure must be punished.
More than 35000 people gave money to the campaign for Proposition 8 the 2008 ballot measure that declared Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California" he continued. Why do these bigots still have jobs? Lets go get them."
Now to be fair Saletan later claimed that his article was intended as satire to illustrate the hypocrisy of his own progressive" movement. Many if not most of his readers seemed to miss the jokeand the articles comments section quickly filled with people agreeing that it was indeed time to purge the bigots" (read: Christians).
The Fox News Channel observed that the piece may or may not be tongue-in-cheek." Satire is traditionally somewhat clever witty and fairly easy to recognize as such. Mr. Saletans piece was none of these things. Nevertheless I will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Laurie Higgins of the Illinois Family Institute noted The problem with Saletans satirical piece is that unlike Swifts A Modest Proposal Saletans is not outrageous enough. It should be outrageous enough for a satire but unfortunately homosexual activists and their allies are tyrannical enough to do just what hes proposing.
I know there are many progressives who think such a proposal is defensible" she observed. In fact eight years ago a colleague (AMM) at Deerfield High School told me that she is so sure conservative beliefs about homosexuality are wrong that they shouldnt be allowed to be spoken in public schools even if kids are studying homosexuality-affirming resources. And she was not speaking satirically."
So here we have Mr. Saletan playing the role of todays Joseph Goebbels Adolf Hitlers Nazi propaganda minister in an effort albeit a clumsy one to underscore how utterly out of control his own progressive" movement has become and in the spirit of argumentum ad absurdum gently coax his fellow bohemians from madness.
Slate was apparently in on the fun too pretending for a day to be Nationalsozialistischen Briefe" Goebbels parallel publication in an equally awkward attempt to use the power of metaphor as a scrub brush to wash away the stench of totalitarianism from an American left bathed in it.
But as you read the article a frightening reality quickly rises to the surface. Its neither funny nor untrue. None of it. The cultural Marxist American left is 100-percent serious about purging" Christians from society.
Theyre as serious as Josef Stalins heart attack.
Continued Saletan: To organize the next stage of the purge Ive compiled the financial data into three tables" (he actually did this). He then listed details from and linked to the Proposition 8 hit list reportedly leaked by the Obama IRS and meticulously assembled and published by the Los Angeles Times.
This was all by design. Its what led to Brendan Eichs career beheading. But Eich was just the opening act. The list provides the exact names employers places of residence and dollar amounts of every single person in America who donated even a dime to the Golden States campaign to protect natural marriage (I realize its hopelessly symbolic but as matter of principle I will not link to the list).
This is a level of voter intimidation and journalistic terrorism on the part of the Obama administration and the L.A. Times that is unprecedented in American history.
Joking or not Herr Saletan then gave the rainbow-shirts their jackbooted marching orders: If were serious about taking down corporate officers who supported Proposition 8 and boycotting employers who promote them wed better get cracking on the rest of the list" he said concluding otherwise perhaps we should put down the pitchforks."
You do understand this right? Obama the L.A. Times and Americas larger progressive" movement are dead serious about purging Christians and other traditionalists from both the workplace and society at large. Its coming. Mozilla was just the opening salvo.
In the very same way Eichs forced resignation was deliberately calculated to terrorize any American who might resist the lefts sexual anarchist agenda and support some future legally executed pro-family ballot initiative the clear purpose behind releasing the Prop 8 donor list was to instill terror in the hearts of Christians and other traditionalists who support natural marriage family and human sexuality. It was a not-so-subtle shot over the bow.
It was also a call to arms.
Its fight or flight time America.
Ive made my choice.
What about you?
I say that if we once crushed fascism from without … we can sure as hell crush it from within.
