Disinformation and Idiocy: Part 2 of 10

Alright, as I promised, here is part 2

Accusation 2. The left hate families.
People on the left all come from broken homes or have terrible family life and that's why they hate it that the rest of us don't. Ordinary, decent folk like us think the family is sacred but leftists don't because they want everybody's family to be like theirs. So they want to destroy families by making homosexuals get married and marrying straight people off to homosexuals just to throw a spanner in the works of hard-working, decent families.

I really got a kick out of this one, not only because of the writer's clearly demonstrated stupidity, but also because of the sheer lunacy of what he's saying.

"People on the left all come from broken homes" - that's a broad and sweeping accusation to start. People from all sides of the spectrum can come from broken homes. I know of hardline capitalist/conservatives who had horrific family lives in the the past, so this entire of idea of people on the left only coming from broken homes is absurd. Do I hate those who have a wonderful family life? Nope.

On the second aspect, this whole idea of "the left hates family values". "Family values" has to be one of the most rhetorical pieces of BS I've ever had the incredible disgust of witnessing. No one ever defines what "family values" are. If, by "family values", it is meant "ultra-conservative 17th-century Christian Protestant values-systems coupled with neoliberalism and capitalism", then you can definitely accuse me of being anti-family. You can also accuse me of being a rational thinker while you're at it. While I applaud many of the progressive ideas that developed in the architectural and musical fields in the 17th century, their values systems were a bit off-center. This is the same 17th century that saw with-trials and the burning of homosexuals. Believe it or not, but I really don't want to go back to the 17th century.

Thirdly, how does gay marriage upset family values? Their goal isn't to stuff their ideas down our throats. they aren't trying to make the whole world homosexual. You don't have to support their lifestyle, and you don't have to participate in it, but neither can you stamp it out. Neither can you trample over their rights as has been done so many times in the last 20,000 years of human history.

I'm not going to bother with the rest of his accusation - his idiocy speaks for itself.
