‘Opposition to amnesty and same-sex marriage isn’t bigotry, it’s a fear of unintended consequences’

July 3, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

W. James Antle III:

If you oppose whatever war the neoconservatives wish to fight, you are enabling a new Hitler.

If you disagree with whatever social cause the liberal champions, you are the new Hitler, or at least the new Bull Connor.

But everywhere isn’t always Munich and it isn’t always Selma.

Immigration policy isn’t simply a referendum about how the country feels about Hispanics; marriage isn’t merely a referendum about how the country feels about gay people.

When all politics is identity politics, it becomes difficult to discuss or debate any other aspects of these issues.

And debate them we should.
