Aside from that, what these Progressive groups want is to smash free speech and free association (as they largely have with sex and race), and instead institute the politically controlled ideology of Universalism. Everything will be tolerated, except intolerance.

Please, Faux News is a bunch of Progressives, too. NeoCons and pseudoconservatives. The American Right is a myth, there are variations of the left.

Yes, I just found that out from your blog.

That's a pretty broad generalisation. Peter Tatchell, a leading gay activist in Britain, has said that he supports the right to free speech about gay issues. No doubt some gay rights groups oppose the free expression of intolerance, but condemnation of it doesn't equate to wanting it banned.

So what is 'the American Right' in your view?
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken
'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.
'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain
'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

What's called the American right (Neo-Cons, for example) are actually variations on Progressives, and a mixture of Trotskyites and Ludstonites who left the Communist party. Bill Buckley and the NeoCons with their ideological world wars to spread Democracy and Freedom, with interventionist policies to support a state-directed industry and the willingness (in Buckley's own words) to tolerate a 'totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores' to fight anti-democratic enemies abroad. Oh, and let's not forget how they call all of their opponents 'fascists'. That's straight of WW2 Progressivism Marxism and Social Democracy. With shades of straight up Communism, if not so much in economic nationalization anymore then moreso in ideological control and thought-policing. And, for that matter, they're not too opposed to economic meddling.
WW2 pretty much killed the American right, for a variety of reasons. The actual American right would be people like Frank Chodorov, Albert Jay Nock, H.L. Mencken, Charles Lindbergh. There are still people like this; but the media, academia, universities, all bureaucracies and political branches as well as both parties and the various 'activist' groups are almost entirely Progressive Social Democrats. In fact, if anything, Republicans are even more PC-obsessed with democrats on many issues. Look at the witch hunts for 'anti-semites' they go on periodically, using it as an excuse to purge any actually right-wing people from their ranks.

To the OP:
This is a Mormon questioning his religion. It's not anti-gay in the least. In fact, it's quite thoughtful, considering the source.
I don't mind the moderate Christians since they seem to be more sane than the total nut jobs, but moderate Christianity led to my own deconversion.
