I’m a gay New Yorker — and I’m coming out as a conservative
It can seem like liberals are actually against free speech if it fails to conform with the way they think.And I don’t want to be a part of that club anymore. It used to be that if you were a gay, educated atheist living in New York, you had no choice but to be liberal. But as I met more Trump supporters with whom I was able to have engaging, civil discussions about issues that impact us all, I realized that I like these people — even if I have some issues with Trump himself. For example, I don’t like his travel ban or the cabinet choices he’s made. But I finally had to admit to myself that I am closer to the right than where the left is today. And, yes, just three months ago, I voted for Hillary Clinton. - - NY Post[HT: NeoNeoCon]

The "Milo" effect works again

I've been told that pillow biters are about 2% of the population, so why should I care?

Bill expound on your logic, as you are too smart to posit sexual identity alone is the only identity capable of gaining power through persuasion, or that population percentages divided by definitions of identity equals some sort of predictave power previously absent essential variables like wealth or "touch" abilities.
Certainly you are not too stupid not to notice lots of people have amassed influence aka power even though they are members of different affiliations and structures than their percentage of the population would be capable of dictating in the absence of what defines the whole person.
Gay Jew Crippled Dwarf is different than Jew Crippled Dwarf even if you don't understand the implications, or even the distinction itself.
To be fair, lots of groups could fit under the label of 2% of the population, and you're in fact correct we aren't talking about them because, in part, they aren't 30% or 40% of the population, but please understand we don't talk about literally infinite things, and the things we talk about aren't infinite but specific and chosen for reasons perhaps DNA hard-wired but perhaps not.
Also thank you for not being ghostsniper, the paradigm of wasting time on pissants like me instead of saving his family's universe from City folk and all those many, many others coming ANYDAY NOW to martyr themselves and not our prescient forewarned prophet of doomed doom dooming doomfully.

Why bother? I could care less but it's not worth the effort.
Enough that Milo is destructing the logic-less Wrongs. As he expertly out baits the Wrongs he has earned the title MasterBaiter. If he takes the title personally and puns it erotically, so what?
What victories over the Wrongs have the rest of us to report?
