Sorry to trouble you lovely people with another "I thought I could no long be outraged" post, but I made the mistake of reading
Rod Dreher this morning. He's been on another fact-finding mission/foodie vacation for a while, delectating his
sacramental snacks in England and hanging out with pomposeurs like Roger Scruton. After days of pictures of food and tourist attractions, Brother Rod returns to the states fresh and ready to witchfind. A little kid in Texas (
a state which has so disappointed Dreher in the past) apparently likes to sing his songs while wearing a dress and makeup. Dreher, who apparently never saw Dee Snider, flips out ("We have completely lost our moral minds") and then starts yelling about how them there he-shes can get their titties chopped off if they've a mind to, all they got to do is call up a doctor, what-all is happening to his beloved heterosexual America, "We are a sick civilization that deserves to be punished," etc.
I guess Dreher felt as if he needed a better button, and veers into this:
UPDATE: Another, very different but still disgusting way we treat children:
And then he quotes a
Times story about the Trump baby jails. That's right -- Dreher is willing to stipulate that kiddie koncentration kamps might be
sorta as bad as kids allowed to play dress-up. Of course, after years of
"I'm no Trump fan but" posts in which he hints that he'll support Trump anyway because he hates homosexuals, that doesn't mean anything except that he's a coward as well as a bigot.
To add piquancy, here's a tweet from
National Review legacy pledge Jonah Goldberg:
Clearly this little boy's family, like the parents of all little boys in skirts, wants grown-ups to fuck him. Man, drag's been mainstream since Lady Bunny; do we really have to wait for the new millennium for these dopes to chill out about it?
