Seven ways the ‘logic’ of progressives is destroying society

Rainbow flag. Symbol of gay pride. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) I’d like to offer seven reasons that I believe progressivism is well on its way to destroying Western Civilization — if it has not already. They don’t believe in freedom of speech. This should be obvious to anyone who reads the news. When progressives are faced with speech they don’t like, they utilize every tool at their disposal to shut it down, up to and including violence — and usually  while simultaneously playing the victim card . Conservative speakers need bodyguards for protection. Pro-life displays are  frequently attacked and torn down . Some controversial speakers actually face  riots, vandalism, and violence prior  to having arrived and prior to having actually said anything—and even feminist icons like Germaine Greer are having their speaking engagements targeted for refusing to embrace the current transgender craze. In Australia they plowed a vehicle into their office and lit gas tanks, threaten hote

SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE TO THE TRANSGENDER ADVOCATES Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for  Johns Hopkins Hospital  and its current Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with and promoting a mental disorder. He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people.

While personal gain—fame, fortune (research grants), and careerism—are the probable explanation for much fraud, another and not unrelated one is political correctness. Grants and promotion are surely more certain when one’s results conform to social expectations. Fortunately, there are enough conservative academics and schools to provide more than one way of looking at reality. Both sides in the debate over same sex “marriage” in the U.S. can therefore cite scientific evidence for their opposite positions on its impact on the children. A federal court considering a constitutional challenge of Michigan’s new law reserving marriage to heterosexual relationships was presented with 57 studies showing same sex couples produced identical outcomes as heterosexual ones. It also was presented two or three studies showing the opposite, including one by Simon Fraser University economist Doug Allen. The Michigan judge not only threw out Michigan’s marriage law, he also deemed Allen’s resea
