Michael Brown’s Dec. 1 WorldNetDaily column began by rehashing a three-year-old column he wrote complaining that a TV show about people looking for a house to buy featured a “throuple” — a man and two women in a committed relationship. This led to a rant about a poll showing that more people think polygamy is acceptable:
What struck me this week was a Gallup report from 2020 indicating that acceptance of polygamy had reached 20% – meaning, 1 in 5 Americans. Back in 2006, that number was 1 in 20 Americans. That’s quite a jump!
Commenting on this on the Gallup website, Frank Newport wrote in June 2020, “what fascinates me as much as anything else is the trend on polygamy. When Gallup first included polygamy on the list in 2003, 7% of Americans said it was morally acceptable, and that fell to 5% in 2006. But over the past decade, this percentage has gradually increased – moving into double digits in 2011, reaching 16% in 2015, and this year, at 20%, the highest in our history. In short, there has been a fourfold increase in the American public’s acceptance of polygamy in about a decade and a half.”
As of 2022 and 2023, the number had risen even further, to 23%, meaning almost 1 in 4 Americans felt that polygamy was morally acceptable. But there is no slippery slope. Of course!
I could cite many more examples, but at this point: 1) It would be redundant. 2) It would make this article into a small book. 3) You don’t need me to cite polls and statistics; all you need to see is the societal embrace of Drag Queens reading to toddlers. That alone proves the point.
How did Brown get from polygamy to “Drag Queens reading to toddlers”? He didn’t epxlain. He also didn’t explain why how other people live their lives is any of his business, or why toddlers care about who is reading to them. Instead, he cheered that his fellow right-wing haters are involved in “pushback”:
The good news is that, as many of us also predicted, the radical left has overplayed its hand and a moral, cultural pushback is at hand.
The bad news is that it’s a lot harder to climb up a mountain than to slide down it.
On other hand, with God’s help, all things are possible.
Meanwhile, It’s apparently not possible — not even with God’s help — to change Brown’s judgmental, hate-filled attitudes toward anyone who’s not as far-right as he is.
