« California Dreaming | Main | Rahm Emanuel : Chick-fil-A does not represent "Chicago values" »
July 30, 2012
If you're a feminist or a gay or any of the other house pets in the Democratic menagerie,
you might want to look at Rahm Emanuel's pirouette, and Menino's coziness with Islamic homophobia.These guys are about power, and right now your cause happens to coincide with their political advantage. But political winds shift. Once upon a time, Massachusetts burned witches. Now it grills chicken-sandwich homophobes. One day it'll be something else. Already in Europe, in previously gay-friendly cities like Amsterdam, demographically surging Muslim populations have muted Leftie politicians' commitment to gay rights, feminism and much else. It's easy to cheer on the thugs when they're thuggish in your name. What happens when Emanuel's political needs change? -- Mark Steyn: Don't cross the forces of tolerance
