For those of you who may not be aware, the Supreme Court in California recently forced gay-marriage on the state of California, where I live. There is currently a proposition on the ballot to amend the state constitution to restore marriage to be only between one man and one woman (Prop 8). The reason I mention all this is that the campaign against Prop 8 has taken an interesting twist. They have chosen an interesting campaign slogan:
Is there anything there that strikes you as odd? Perhaps you would need to see the campaign adds as I have there they really emphasize in a strong way that Prop 8, denying marriage to homosexual couples, is wrong!
Wait...what just happened? It happened so fast I barely noticed it! The campaign of tolerance and moral relativism who always objected that we could not make value judgements such as "gay-'marriage' is wrong," has suddenly morphed and now they infallibly proclaim that I am wrong for opposing it! I fear this is an omen of times to come...
Perhaps we are seeing that tolerance is not a state, but a transition between ideas, systems of morality. As soon as the upper hand is gained, the nice talk of peace and tolerance gives way to persecution and intolerance.
