At the National Organization for Marriages March for Marriage gala last week, Dr. Ben Carson explained how Marxists are using LGBT rights to destroy American unity and impose the New World Order, because of course. Carson told the audience earlier that gay-rights opponents are the real victims of injustice because they just want to be left alone.
He asked, When we talk about liberty and justice for all, doesnt that mean that people can be left alone, that no-one else gets to change definitions on them and change life for them?
Because apparently, dissent is anti-American.
They have no right to say to me that I must change the way I think in order to accommodate what they believe, he said. Thats where the injustice comes from, and we have to understand that.
And no, Dr. Carson wasnt talking about Open Carry groups parading around in family friendly restaurants with weapons strapped across their backs. He was talking about being born gay and how thats an imposition on the lives of homophobes because of the New World Order, naturally.

(37,163 posts)Some people can be fine, even admirable, in some areas, and turn into blinkered assholes in a different setting or on a different subject.
This seems especially likely when it involves abstracts. "Marxists"?

(3,208 posts)I guess it is hard to comprehend someone could help someone in such an intensive way, and then been so against people loving one another. Blickered asshole seems like a good term for that!

They are so closed-minded that they can't even tolerate another opinion without suffering an "injustice".

(28,280 posts)I was merely taking Carson's ridiculous argument to its most extreme conclusion.
By the way: I've been a DU member since 2001, and I believe your post is the first and only time I've ever been accused of racism. Thanks for absolutely nothing. I think an apology from you would be appropriate.
