Gatekeepers

Gatekeepers

Over at Kairos, Brian points out [http://www.brianniemeier.com/2018/07/those-who-cannot-remember-past.html] a discussion about gatekeeping, keeping SJW’s out, and how EVS/D&C/etc. are determined to keep SJW’s out but hate being called gatekeepers. I feel their pain. I hate bullshit – more even that flat out lies. This conflation is pure bullshit. An expansion of what I posted as a comment at G+: This is jailhouse / sea lawyer bullshit. The problem here is that we’re seeing a conflation of wh…

Conflicting Impulses

Conflicting Impulses

One of the trends I’ve seen over the last few months is the increasing number – outside of die-hard neverTrumpers like Bill Kristol - who are becoming resigned to the fact that the left is going absolutely nuts. And yes, we’re not at the levels of active violence that we saw in the 60’s, but we’ve got a large pool of snowflakes with fragile egos that are currently screaming, often literally, in incoherent rage, and the media and companies firmly buying in to “conservatives don’t deserve to live.…
