It's not what you do, it's what you believe in

No, this isn't some inspirational, sappy motivational post.

I'm talking about "crimes against humanity" when so-called progressives voice their appeal to grave injustices.

You can be perfectly polite, concerned and friendly towards those with same-sex attraction or those who don't know what the f_ck they are, but if you don't believe their relationship with their own sex is anything but normal, beautiful and something to be celebrated you're committing a thought crime. Don't voice that "thought crime" if you want to be banished forever at the "Worst Human Right Next to Hitler the KKK" table.

You treat illegal immigrants with respect and look out for their well-being as they adjust to a new life, but if you don't support amnesty, support legal immigration and don't think such a group deserves driver's licenses until the get their green card - and if you want voter ID laws - well you're a xenophobic bastard.

You can treat the opposite with dignity and see them as a vital part of humanity, but if you think that feminism has led women astray to a wasteland of egotistical thoughts and condescension, then you're a sexist. If you think that when women show their bodies in less-than flattering ways, either in dress or by sexual action for all the world to see, that they are slowly and silently stripping away their worth and their innate dignity - you're a Uber Sexist.

If you observe that pop culture and the "underground" scene of the movie industry (see: Cannes, Sundance, TIFF, Venice, tv series) is both delusional, hedonistic, insufferable and insidious, you're a knuckle dragging redneck who can't appreciate culture & arts.

You can uphold the 2nd amendment and see guns as a tool for good, not evil or stupidity, yet you'll be seen as some crazed bearded fool eating Cheetos, all while wearing a Cheetos stained American motif neck bandana.

If you believe that the military should be kept at a medium size, well-stocked with weapons, well-trained and each branch and component prepared for any type war or an attack - be it domestic or foreign - you're a neocon war hawk, drunk of off the idea of killing innocent civilians in remote villages, and promise of dollars that war brings to the politicians and the oil companies. 

If you hold social conservative views, well you're automatically dismissed to the desert without any water or food. You're aware that you can't stop anyone from doing anything debauchery, questionable, or hedonistic or degrading -- since you realize that self-responsibility and wisdom must take place when met with this type of darkness -- but no, your membership is revoked from the "21st century" and you are given a "Bronze Age/1950s/Victorian" entrance pass.

You can hold all these views and not cast a single vote (because they weren't on the ballot) or even wave a miniature American flag that was made in China, but if you broadcast them to the wrong type of person you're "what's wrong with the world." You can be standing at the corner of the street waiting for a bus and these would, in and of themselves, be considered "crimes" and "injustices against humanity."

Hmmm. Funnny.
