I knew a child many years ago, abandoned by her mother at a young age, who kept reliving that feeling of abandonment by constantly upping the ante in demands until she was told "No” and she could have a meltdown.

One day we went on a lovely outing to a local park and rode on the paddleboats on the lake; she asked to go to an amusement park, which we did. She asked for so many treats she got sick. She asked to ride on many rides until she came to one for which she did not make the height requirement. She went nuts. "Why didn’t you say ‘No’ sooner, you ask?” I truly wanted to see exactly what it would take to make her happy. The answer: it couldn’t be done. She was damaged. It became quite clear that she didn’t ENJOY being happy.

There are many conservatives who either have someone in their extended family or know someone who is gay. So, when gay couples wanted to have some kind of commitment ceremony, many conservatives attended such events. (In one case, my very redneck neighbor in Minnesota hosted a ceremony in his backyard for a lesbian friend. The stupid, made-up epithet "homophobic,” like its cousin, "racist,” is flung like poo by monkeys, but is generally a lazy, convenient lie or wild exaggeration.)

You would think that the gays and the progressives would still be popping champagne, but again, you would be wrong. The poor losers turned out to be even more vicious winners. They outed supporters of traditional marriage and hacked into databases and punished anyone who had dared to believe what Candidate Obama said he believed.

Since there is not a single argument for gay marriage – it’s about "equality”; it’s about simple fairness; it’s just about "who you love” — that cannot also be applied to two men and a woman or three women and a Siamese Cat, the precedent has been set and the erosion of the institution will continue apace. As Rush would say, "Don’t doubt me.”

And now comes the ludicrous obsession with the Trans-gendered. The "rights” of this minuscule population of gender-confused or fad-driven humans to use any bathroom du jour they choose are suddenly of paramount importance! And damn the bigots who object to their little girls being forced to share a bathroom with a man in a dress who likes to ogle little girls.

[...]

So I return to my opening theme: It’s never enough; the Left will never cease adding categories of Entitled Victims, whose "rights” will supercede those of working people, normal people, religious people of any color, but for sure white people, especially white men.

Maybe, just maybe, once in a great while, there is a cost to forcing every degenerate or cockamamie policy down our throats.

Target president Brian Cornell, watching his cash flow in the opposite direction like the Bama football motto "Roll, Tide,” has nowlet it be knownthat when the Insane Corporate Decision was made, he was in the now infamous Target bathroom, or something. Maybe he said he was out of town, whatever. In any event, he is trying to weasel out of responsibility for a corporate decision right up there with New Coke or running Hillary again.
