Yes, Sometimes Politics Is Personal

Yes, Sometimes Politics Is Personal
Excerpt: We see one zone after another toppling. Actors in a Broadway hit halt the performance in order to berate the vice president after they spot him in the audience. Professional athletes insult the flag and all the fans who revere it before the contest begins. Famous conservatives must be wary in restaurants. Conservative Christians who work in the professions must keep their biblical beliefs hidden. After Obergefell, President Obama turned the White House into an illuminated partisan billboard of rainbow colors. I went to a performance of Wagner at the Kennedy Center awhile back and there it was again, the “pride” lighting encircling the building. Offices, eateries, academia, sports, entertainment . . . progressives are politicizing them all. They rationalize their conquest by claiming that those zones were always political and that they have only created a more just politics. But conservatives know better. {A frightening but unfortunately accurate look at how politics is invading every corner of our lives. That’s really sad when all most people want is to be left alone to do their best. Ron P.]
