Margaret Harper McCarthy: "The Equality Act Is At War With Reality"

I'm not the world's biggest fan of religion. And many churches and religious institutions have been coopted by the cult. But, still, there's a lot of truth in this.

   And here's Chesterton, impossibly, absolutely, right on target:

Everything will be denied. Everything will become a creed. It is a reasonable position to deny the stones in the street; it will be a religious dogma to assert them. Fires will be kindled to testify that two and two make four. Swords will be drawn to prove that leaves are green in summer. We shall be left defending, not only the incredible virtues and sanities of human life, but something more incredible still, this huge impossible universe which stares us in the face.

And a WSJ commenter adds some Orwell:

It was as though some huge force were pressing down upon you --something that penetrated inside your skull, battering against your brain, frightening you out of your beliefs, persuading you, almost, to deny the evidence of your senses. In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later . . . Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense

As I'm sure you remember, "math educators" (i.e.: not mathematicians...and not people who can do much more than add fractions...) are now insisting that the sum of 2 and 2 needn't be 4... Not on the basis of any fancy modal arguments...but just because they're stupid and because "social justice."
