The reality based agenda

We are required to join the pretense of men pretending they are women by calling them "she" and "her."

We are required to join the fantasies of tomboys by letting them play army and calling them "sir" instead of "ma'am."

We are required to join the pretense of silly gays that they are or could be a married couple, forming their own nuclear family, by the legal pretense of same sex marriage when even civil unions are a bit of a stretch.

We are required to pretend that homosexuality is not per se a sexual disorder or a disorder of desire.

We are required to pretend that Islam is not and has not been through most of its history, when Muslim lands were not subject to rule by others, the most dangerous religion in the world, and that its central "holy book" and central prophetic figure are not just what you would expect of the most successful self-perpetuating mass murder cult in history.

We are required to pretend that organizations akin to The Nation of Islam and people urging essentially their message and acting out their hate are the victims of racism.
