A few miles from Buckingham Palace, Muslims in London\u2019s East End are now sufficiently confident to go around warning local shopkeepers to cease selling alcohol. In theory, you might still enjoy the right to sell beer in Tower Hamlets or be a practicing Christian in Iraq, but in reality not so much. The asphyxiating embrace of ideological conformity was famously captured by Nikolai Krylenko, the People\u2019s Commissar for Justice, in a speech to the Soviet Congress of Chess Players in 1932, at which he attacked the very concept of \u201cthe neutrality of chess.\u201d<\/strong> It was necessary for chess to be Sovietized like everything else. \u201cWe must organize shock brigades of chess players, and begin immediate realization of a Five-Year Plan for chess,\u201d he declared.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Six years later, the political winds having shifted, Krylenko was executed as an enemy of the people. But his spirit lives on among the Commissars of Gay Compliance at GLAAD. It is not enough to have gay marriage for gays. Everything must be gayed. There must be Five-Year Gay Plans for American bakeries, and the Christian church, and reality TV. There must be shock brigades of gay duck-hunters honking out the party line deep in the backwoods of the proletariat. Obamacare pajama models, if not yet mandatorily gay, can only be dressed in tartan onesies and accessorized with hot chocolate so as to communicate to the Republic\u2019s maidenhood what a thankless endeavor heterosexuality is in contemporary America.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The gaying of America if you will.   One good thing about leftists, though, is that they tend to turn on, and purge, their own ilk.<\/span>
