Going topless at the White House?

I guess I am a prude, but it never occurred to me to imagine that at a White House, even a guest of the President of the United States would disrobe.

Silly me. I keep on forgetting that the whole point of alphabet ideology is to strip all norms and dignity from Western values and replace them with…this.

There has been a lot of angst about the manner in which the White House was draped with a Pride flag at the place of honor in the center of a display. I share that outrage, but by now I just shrug when I see such a shameless elevation of an anti-Western ideology over America itself.

The American flag is, theoretically, supposed to be a symbol that unites us. Despite all our differences, we share a common belief that there is more that unites than divides us.

Alphabet people reject that idea, and now, apparently, this is the official position of the United States government. One of the most divisive ideologies in our culture has been elevated to the position of being the official creed of the country.

Yet this alone is not enough to stir my passions. Until Joe Biden and his ilk are expelled from the White House and the building is disinfected, I am resigned to this.

What I am not resigned to is the open mocking of American values by turning the people’s house into a TQ+ frat house, fit only for the display of the worst sort of perversions. That an American citizen, not in protest but in open celebration of the government’s embrace of their ideology, can disrobe and flaut not only our norms but our laws in such a manner is infuriating. That this behavior was accepted and embraced by our president is almost incomprehensible.

Almost. By now the cultural Marxists can treat normal Americans with contempt. Absolute contempt.

“What are you going to do about it? We have the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES on our side. Bite me.

And they have a point. Chances are, despite the obvious hatred that the Democrats have more much of their citizenry, and all of our Founding principles, somewhere around half the voting public will endorse this disgrace.

Many of these voters are good people, who only want peace. It’s not that they embrace these values–they don’t. But their solution is to turn away and tell others that our role is to accept this behavior because to do so is compassionate. We must give in to the worst of us because the worst of us will cause trouble if we don’t.

Best to look away and pretend that this is normal, or at least an expression of freedom and exuberance.

Except it is not. There is indeed a culture war going on, and it is not conservatives who have been waging it. We are on defense. That we have values that are worthy of respect is denied. Nobody is asking us to coexist with those of different values–I am happy to do so. That is not the demand: the demand is that we bow to the female penis lest we get canceled. Even the accidental use of a proper pronoun is cause for dismissal, and an open dissent from the demand is cause for expulsion from society.

In Ireland, they are debating and will soon pass a law making anything deemed hateful a crime that can be punished by jail time. And, as you know, “hate” is the most flexible of terms, and there is no definition in the law.

“Show me the man and I will show you the crime.” –Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin’s secret policeman.

I am told that I am hateful because I want to carve out a space for people like me, and that I should submit to the demands of these totalitarians. We should peacefully hand over children because not doing so is genocide.

The irony is thick: children must be handed over because, after all, alphabet people cannot have children of their own, so they need everybody else’s to “reproduce.”

And now they have occupied the very center of power, celebrated by none other than the president, who declares these warriors the bravest of the brave.

A society becomes, at least metaphorically, what it admires. It is what we consider heroic that defines us. Being trans is like storming the beaches at Normandy.

And today the ultimate heroism is disrobing at the White House and snubbing one’s nose at average Americans.

The White House, after an uproar, has “condemned” the display and has banned the activist they invited from returning to the White House. Big whoop. Has nobody noticed that she remained, unchastened, on White House grounds until she wanted to leave? Nobody stopped or expelled her. It was fine until veterans started complaining.

Color me unimpressed.
