How Fringe Republicans Are Being Taught to Argue the ‘Social Issues’ with Liberals

[dorkzilla]

From the Value Voter’s Summit:

Azerrad defined three political axioms that every country must abide by:

We need children.
Children need their parents.
Human beings are religious animals. [Note: When he wrote down this point, someone shouted, “Amen!”]
Because of these three axioms, he explained, gay people, women, and non-Christians don’t get to live normal lives. Haha, only kidding, he didn’t say that but that’s what he meant.

Then he said, “What is the immediate reaction to this if there was a liberal in the room?” and my stomach leaped into my mouth.

“What about overpopulation?” they would say. He kindly explained that overpopulation is a myth that was “disproven in the ’70s” (which is not only an invented fact, but a massive oversimplification). He argued that the birth rate is falling, and we need to pump babies out as fast as possible to account for all the old people we’re going to have soon.

To explain the second point, he put on his most offensive “gay voice” and said: “Yeah, I’m in this gay couple and I adopted this little girl from Vietnam and she plays the cello and we’re all so happy.”

And the room erupted in laughter.

These are sick people.

1. The appropriate response isn't to argue, but to laugh at them.

4. I would laugh, but they actually use the word "regime".

They really are sick, dangerous people.

2. That's propaganda, not argument: Everybody do the same thing, or we die!

It's inherently unAmerican, and devolutionary, too.

3. Might as well start calling this the Right Wing Authoritarian Voters Summit

RWA's don't follow logic, and they also don't notice the contradictions in their own ideologies, and this can be seen in this very session, just look at the part where the guy says adoption is bad because "children do better with their own parents" and then pretty much says five minutes later that abortion is bad because a woman can just "give the baby up for adoption", and they applauded that.

5. They're not a group that's know for consistency

After ramming their agenda down everyone's throat, they try and get their bigotry approved by suggesting we just live and let live.
