Color Wars Continue – Red versus Blue That Is.

AO lifted her head this week to go after liberals/Democrats for outing the gay children of conservative/Republican families. I love the way AO and her brethren construct their positions. For votes they oppose gay rights and then argue for privacy. In other words, closets were made for gays and similar clutter. The privacy concerns are not about gay children but about their parents. AO is smart, but on the wrong side of most issues. That must pay well.

But, let’s get back to the issue. We should all be for gay rights and privacy rights. We believe in freedom and equal treatment under the law, don’t we? We expect a certain amount of privacy in our lives, don’t we? This is not revolutionary stuff, at least not since King George III.

Of course, lots of people don’t believe in that stuff. Maybe that is why it took so long to acknowledge equal rights for people with dark colored skin and women of all colors, not to mention people of certain religions. And, we have not fully gotten their yet. Gay people are simply the latest people front and center who are “rights challenged” in our free land.

A lot of those people who tend to be uncomfortable with freedom for others reside in the red areas of the country (Red used to be a dirty color for Conservative Nation, you know. Communists liked red, but CN has now come to embrace red as a color of honor. Even AO hasn’t been able to figure out how to secure the color blue for her cause). There are a lot of those people, as there have always been in the country.

AO and Conservative Nation know all of this. It is how they get votes, with a little help from the fact that there are lunatics in the world willing to strap on suits lined with explosives in order to kill us, red or blue. So, AO came out this week to protect the privacy of conservative parents with gay skeletons in their closets.
