Dr. Tim Nerenz is a libertarian who came up with the following analogy, an insane one I might add, that being "rich" is the new gay. And he proves there's something else going on besides politics. There's a mental misfire somewhere in the thought process, that leads some people to come up with jaw dropping comparisons like this one.
As you listen to the insane rich/gay comparison, you’ll notice Nerenz is also admitting that Republicans do treat gay people in this nasty unfair way. It’s an open admission…doh!!
I've included conservative story teller and radio host Vicki McKenna's reading here, in case you want to gather the kids around to listen. I'll bet you never knew just how grateful you should be with our rich overlords, the ones that continue to stall the economy and lower wages to save our nation:
It’s ok to hate them for who they are. It’s ok to vandalize their property, taunt them, seize their assets, deny them government benefits, make them register and buy a license to practice their alternative lifestyle.
You can hound them at their workplace, you can bully them in schools, you can picket their homes, you can send them death threats with impunity, and you can occupy public buildings for months on end chanting bad things about them.
Rich is the new gay.
It is no longer permissible in our civil society to hate based on skin color, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, or sexual preference. But wealth – that’s a free-fire zone. Wealth is evil. Capitalism is sodomy. Free enterprise is lewd and lascivious conduct. Wall Street is the new Castro Street, only it’s ok to light it on fire. Even Tiffany Newt feels free to tee off on Mitt Romney for being (gasp) too rich – think Ellen reefing on Elton John to win George Michael’s vote. You can say the most hateful things imaginable about rich people - even the President does it, cheered on by a wealth-o-phobic media. Imagine how the fur would fly if a President blamed all his failures on homosexuals, or if he expressed support for violent mobs rioting in the streets if it were the 3.6% instead of the 1% whose heads are demanded on a pole.
The left/right paradigms for wealth and sexual preference are pretty much the same: liberals insist that material preference is assigned at birth; conservatives believe it is a choice. Closet richos like Michael Moore or the Obamas possess the same self-loathing false piety as Ted Haggert or Larry Craig. Their response to being outed is loud, angry denial; wide stance or baseball cap, the disguise doesn’t fool anyone.
The rich even have their transgendered equivalents – trans-wealthered, I suppose - who have crossed over from the poor side to the rich side. I don’t think the abuse hurled against Herman Cain was because he was black; it was because he is black and refused to stay poor. To the haters, that is one
sick puppy. Tim Tebow is even worse – openly rich, openly humble, and openly Christian. Unforgivable.
I can’t explain the liberals’ reflexive hatred of wealthy people. Perhaps they are guilty about the way their own leaders have enriched themselves – Obama, Corzine, Soros, Pelosi, Kennedy, Gore, Trumka, Jackson, Hillary the pork belly whisperer. If all you know is swindling and influence peddling, then maybe that’s all you can imagine. There's so much more here....
Nerenz is a libertarian, so here’s how he sees the party’s: When it comes to social issues, freedom is difficult, but not complicated: "Conservatives think the law should punish what we don’t approve, libertarians think the law should make us tolerate what we don’t approve, and liberals think the law should make us pay for what we don’t approve."
I loved this exchange on McKenna's Facebook page. It shows how many conservatives would rather “Sit down” and shut up, instead of asking relevant questions like the ones being asked of Romney.
Legit question Mr Romney. Prove to us that you created the 100,000 jobs that you claimed you did as you ripped those companies apart and sold off their assets :)
Sit down, RINOsaur.
Obama can be Darth Socialist and he destroys America in the Debt Star.
