Latham is right about the left!

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."
