Glenn Reynolds on Prop 8, And a Bonus Look at Life In the Lefty Bubble
avatar

Instapundit » Blog Archive » I WAS ON SHANA PEETE’S SPREECAST last night, talking about the Prop. 8 decision….

This is a quite extended and interesting interview with Glenn about the Prop 8 decision at the Ninth Circuit. I found the interview enjoyable and enlightening – we don’t get to see Glenn opine at length on issues very often.

And as an added bonus, by accident I left the “spreecast” (???) running after Glenn signed off, and was rewarded with a penetrating glimpse of the sort of bubble the lefties live in. A young black guy came on the show with a comment, and Shana asked him if he’d listened to what Glenn had to say. He said, “Well, as soon as I saw he was from PJMedia, I didn’t listen, because I didn’t want to disagree with everything he said.”

The young black guy supports gay marriage. So of course he couldn’t listen to Glenn from PJ Media, because he would have to disagree with everything Glenn said. Except for one little problem: Glenn supports gay marriage, too.

About Bill Quick

I am a small-l libertarian with conservative leanings on most issues, except on many traditionally conservative social issues, where my stance would be regarded as hopelessly liberal by most social conservatives. My primary concern is to increase individual liberty as much as possible in the face of statist efforts to restrict it from both the right and the left. If I had to sum up my beliefs as concisely as possible, I would say, "Stay out of my wallet and my bedroom," "your liberty stops at my nose," and "don't tread on me." I will believe that things are taking a turn for the better in America when married gays are able to, and do, maintain large arsenals of automatic weapons, and tax collectors are, and do, not.

    I’ve always enjoyed how my lefty acquaintances have episodes of apoplexy because they cannot reconcile the fact that I support gay marriage but despise Obama for the insipid commie that he is.

    However, the dry cleaning bill from head explosions is getting tedious.

    Those “open-minded Progressives” have been doing their primary indoctrination training well, down on the ol’ Democrap Plantation, working away at creating the finest set of closed minds as ever walked into a voting booth…
