Association By Decree

Council Member
Maggie Gallagher hit upon a seldom-covered theme of importance because it goes right to heart of Socialism’s governing philosophy:

In the last few weeks, the government of the State of California, acting through the California State University, has announced that Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, and any other religious groups now have second-class status at public universities. All campus groups must permit any campus member into the leadership of their organizations. Jewish groups cannot require their leaders to be Jews. Christian groups cannot require that their leaders adhere to Christian beliefs.

The Supreme Court permitted public universities to declare this policy in the narrowly and wrongly decided Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, which is a cancer upon our democracy and a disgrace to our democratic ideals.

Charles Haynes is no member of the Christian Right, but he describes this ominous new development as a rejection of pluralism triggered by the challenges posed by gay rights:

The move toward “all comers” policies directed at conservative religious groups has been triggered by what many perceive as a clash between religious claims and LGBT rights — a clash that is, of course, at the heart of many other culture-war battles today.

Until this culture-war fight erupted, few questioned the reasonableness of allowing the Republican club to require that their leaders be Republican or the environmental club to require that their officers be environmentalists.​

The Forgotten Freedom: Freedom of Association
Following a new ruling in California, religious clubs on campus cannot require their leaders to be religious.

Get past LGBT rights and you’re left with one overriding ideology: “You must associate with anyone the government tells you to associate with.” Not one homosexual issue was ever about discrimination, or the Constitution, or human Rights, blah, blah, blah. Homosexual marriage is the biggest smokescreen of all.

Individuals select the people they associate with in their daily lives while avoiding those they don’t like. Speaking for myself, I do not choose the people I associate with in my personal life because of their sex life, gender, or skin color. I stay away from people who make me uncomfortable for whatever reason. I resent being forced to associate with anybody I do not choose? Conversely, I have no objection to anyone wanting nothing to do with me.

Remember that equal Rights, civil Rights, non-discrimination, quotas, affirmative action, and all of the other touchy-feely liberal causes can be summed up in one sentence: ‘You must associate with me.’ It happened in the workplace, the schools, the military, in private clubs, and in religious organizations as Maggie Gallagher points out in her article.

Recent court decisions show that homosexuals can force you to work for them. They get it both ways. if you refuse to hire a homosexual because you do not want to associate with him or her you get hit with a lawsuit.

There is every reason to believe homosexual marriages will evolve into forced associations in social settings. I offer this scenario to make my point:

I invite a dozen or so neighbors to a cookout. I specifically do not invite a homosexual couple who live down the street. They sue me for discrimination. I lose the case. The court orders me to associate with all of my neighbors. That’s called protecting the individual while teaching me that I am part of the collective in all things.

Just to be clear on this. I do NOT wish bodily harm on anyone, nor would I take part in violence directed against homosexuals. I simply want to retain the Right to keep them out of my life.

Every issue involving homosexual Rights strengthens the absolute authority Socialists claim; i.e., telling Americans what they must do rather than what they must not do. Telling people what to do is the only way Socialists/Communists can govern. In short: Socialism is about legislating love.

Criminal laws dictate behavior by prohibiting then punishing certain acts. Socialist law is not the same as punishing bad behavior like murder, theft, rape, and so on. Filthy Socialist moralists legislate the behavior of decent, law-abiding, Americans, without putting a dent in criminal behavior, and they use tax dollars to do it.

Homosexuals Rights gets so much publicity the public forgets that forced associations was pioneered by race hustlers.

I know that a substantial number of whites and blacks get along. The major problem created by race hustlers was forcing every white to associate with blacks in a multitude of ways. No one seems to notice that blacks retained their Right to choose their associates while whites lost that choice decades ago.

Freedom of choice is big in Liberaldom when it means abortion and same sex marriage, but not so big when the choice is collectivism versus the individual.

Unfortunately, the individual’s Right to choose who they will associate with is under more attacks than the Second Amendment. Try forming a club with like-minded friends and the minute you deny membership to someone you’ll soon learn that membership must be open to everyone.

The Democrat party is the party of choice for most black Americans. I never understood why. I’ve always believed that Democrats forcing blacks and whites to associate with one another was a deliberate stratagem designed to cause more dissension than cohesion among average Americans, while at the same time guaranteeing that a few educated, ambitious, blacks get ahead. It never occurred to white or black race hustlers to mind their own business.

Before buying the Democrat party’s rhetoric about government-imposed equality, whether it be racial, economic, sexual, or gender, look back at the defunct Soviet Union for the final step in forced associations.

Soon after the Communists came to power, Russians from different levels of society were not only forced to associate with one another socially, they were forced to live with one another. A doctor and his family sharing living quarters with a janitor and his family, a teacher sharing an apartment with an illiterate, were not uncommon. It’s no wonder that Russians began drinking themselves into oblivion in the Soviet Union.

Because the United States fought alongside the Soviet Union during WWII, Communism gained respectability by association in this country. America’s victory in WWII is praised to high heaven as it should be, but the liberal Left in Hollywood, and in TV land, do it for their own reasons. Without ever mentioning the defunct Soviet Union they send subliminal messages that say “Communism isn’t that bad, just look at WWII. We all pulled together and won.” And “Communism is good because Fascism was so bad.”

Respectability by association does not diminish the fact that Socialists/Communists are graveyard maggots feeding on dead Americans who died fighting for this country. To American liberals WWII was a proud Communist victory reaffirming their self-conferred Right to occupy the moral high ground. They crawled out into the sunlight in Korea and Vietnam by asserting that Americans were misled into fighting against Communist expansion. In their convoluted view of the world they believe that only Fascists fight Socialism/Communism. Public trough parasites cannot see, or refuse to admit, that fighting Fascism and fighting Socialism/Communism are one and the same.

Socialists/Communists are philosophical as well as economic parasites because they feed on the wealth created by others then they take credit for creating that wealth. Capitalists promote wealth creation as a matter of enlightened self-interest, and because capitalism in a limited form of government offers the most individual liberties to the most people. Socialists create nothing except dependency on government which is funded by the wealth capitalists and capitalism create.

Socialist/Communist governments also have laws against committing traditional crimes, but Socialism’s main thrust is telling people how to behave. Right now the Socialists in our government tell American parents their children must attend school with illegal immigrant children who may very well have a communicable disease. Not to worry though. The Affordable Care Act will treat them should they come down with a lifelong disability caused by an infection from an imported disease.

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech along with freedom of religion. For a long time American Socialists implied that there is also a Right to be heard. The Fairness Doctrine was a not-so-subtle attempt to establish the Right to be heard. Socialists lost the Fairness Doctrine, but they are forcing children to listen in classrooms. That ties into every adult individual’s Right to decide who they want to associate with. It follows that once you are forced to listen you will be forced to associate.

Finally, the one freedom Americans still retain is the freedom in our private lives to NOT associate with white government douche bags. Let’s face it, ask yourself if you really want to associate with garbage like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, or any of the white bureaucrats popping up in Taqiyya’s scandals?
