The definition of “alt-right” has been
ambiguous to me --apart, of course, from “villains perfectly suited for
hardcore leftists to be horrified about.” But now, some persons who almost
certainly QUALIFY AS alt-right have helped me out, by providing me with a
glaringly obvious distinction between themselves and a Christian conservative I
know.
Bear with me here. In defiance to the
dumbing-down of society, I shall explain something which takes more than two
short sentences to explain. To those who want to keep everything in the arena
of blind emotions, I make NO apology for preferring truth.
The Christian man, my real-world in-person
friend for longer than five years, is Jack Phillips, the bakery owner who
leftists want to believe is “full of hate against everyone who’s different.”
This accusation against Jack is not just a mistake, it is a calculated lie. The
slanderous accusation depends on the fictitious claim that he wanted to exclude
GAYS AS A CATEGORY from being his customers at all. The intentionally
misleading slogan used by his detractors, “Just Bake The Cake,” is designed to
support the false charge. It’s nothing unusual for lies to take cover behind a
disguise of “profound simplicity.”
It was never about what people were allowed to come inside Masterpiece Cakeshop; it was always about two other questions: (1) Do business
owners have the right to decide WHAT PRODUCTS they will or won’t sell? (2) Do
United States citizens have the right to decide what statements and opinions
they will publicly ENDORSE AND APPLAUD?
Jack’s enemies are themselves entirely aware
that the answer to both questions is Yes. In proof of their knowing this, THEY
WILL NOT force a vegan storeowner to sell meat, nor force a pacifist storeowner
to sell war toys. Neither will they force a Muslim bookstore to sell books
which say that Islam is wrong. But with the typical moral selectivity of
leftists, they do desire to force Jack Phillips to sell, NOT “merely a cake,”
but specifically a cake bearing COMMUNICATIVE symbols which would have the same effect
as words. The leftists themselves are entirely aware that what they are
demanding is the same thing as if they handed Jack a microphone in a public
place and ORDERED him to say to a crowd, “Everything I believe about the true
nature of marriage is wrong.”
I've heard audio from the mother of one partner in the entrapment team that went after Jack. I didn't catch whether she was the mother of Mullins or of Craig; but she dutifully recited the agreed-upon lie, claiming that her son had been "turned away" solely because of who he was.
These Christian-bashers know exactly what they’re doing, though they’ll furiously deny it. And, unfortunately, many supposed supporters of
Masterpiece Cakeshop are stupidly HELPING THE LEFT to succeed in falsely
painting Jack as a “hateful homophobe.”
This is where the revealed nature of the
alt-right comes in.
Never, not for one instant on any day, did Jack
wish to bar homosexuals from buying those products he chose to sell. But to
this moment, there are alt-right imbeciles who undermine him by arguing that
the issue IS about being allowed to exclude a category of people arbitrarily
from shopping at the bakery. These imbeciles cheerfully revive the
segregation-era phrase, “the right to refuse service;” thus do they support
Jack’s alleged right to do something JACK NEVER WAS DOING AND NEVER WANTED TO
DO.
Jack is the legitimate conservative here; his
actions are not based on “hate,” but based on his knowledge of certain truths, like children benefiting by having both sexes represented as parents. But you’d
never know this, when there are people on left AND right wrongly claiming that he
is like a racist lunch-counter owner in Mississippi before Martin Luther King
rose up for justice-- the only difference being that the neo-fascists WANT Jack
to be like that lunch-counter owner.
With friends like his alt-right
“supporters,” Jack truly doesn’t need enemies.
