Democrats and Thought Crime

Orwell was so prescient in 1984. The concept of thoughtcrime is alive and well in the Democrat party.

In a recent AP report on vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, we find that Democrats are wary of him because of "his personal qualms over abortion." Yet Kaine has a 100% "pro-choice" voting record, plus perfect ratings from NARAL and Planned Parenthood.

So what is the problem? A "qualm" is a mental activity, and Democrats disapprove of Kaine's thoughts.

This puts to rest the idea of "pro-choice" and "personally opposed." Remember Bill Clinton's formulation that "abortion should be safe, legal, and rare"? This echoes Kaine's personal misgivings. Of course, Slick Willie's formulation was devised for suckers who were dumb enough to fall for it. The Democrat party is now a full-throated pro-abortion party that believes the more abortions the merrier.

Kaine not only must vote for abortion, he must not think any renegade thoughts. Similarly, it's not enough that gay marriage is legal in every state, even if it means trampling on Idaho's laws and sovereignty. There can't just be legalized homosexual marriage, but you must bake them a cake, take pictures at their wedding, speak approvingly and pretend that the "wedding" of two men is a real wedding.

Now an edict has come down that any man who thinks he's a woman, or merely clams that he feels like a woman for whatever reason, must be allowed access to women's restrooms, showers, and locker rooms. It is not enough that you accept the odd behavior of the six foot tall guy with a beard who wears a dress and wants to be called Betty--you must consistently refer to him as "she" and "her," or you are facing fines in New York. Tolerance is not enough; your language must show that you are not guilty of thoughtcrime.
