Australia's Mark Latham is a politician whose beliefs lean toward the progressive mindset. He is also a non-Christian humanist. But he is disgusted with the smug and intolerant attitude of the cultural lift. Below are a few comments from a speech recently Latham recently make. As Gene Veith wrote in his blog (The Blog of Veith - excellent!) Latham comments have hit a nerve in Australia and might have the same impact in America.
"They preach diversity but practice a suffocating cultural conformity, wanting everyone to be just like them.
"They argue for inclusion but as soon as a Christian, a conservative, a
libertarian, a nationalist, a working class larrikin, an outsider from
the vast suburbs and regions of our nation disagrees with them, they
crank up their PC-outrage machine to exclude them from society.
"They are tolerant of everything except dissenting values and opinions
– meaning, of course, they are tolerant of nothing that matters, only
themselves.
"This is the Leftist curse through the ages: the recurring history of
those who so badly crave control over others, they lose control over
themselves."
