DREHER TAKES UMBRAGE

Patrick Deneen citing a Dreher post on TAC about the insatiability of liberals to press against all our moral traditions.  Dreher writes this same post over and over while bending over for each and every liberal victory.  It's a living I suppose.

In any event, I snarked Dreher in passing and the great soul of reposted.  See bottom of comments.  I wonder if this exchange will be there in the morning.  Good fun.  BTW, I respect Deneen as a  champion of Roman Catholic values and faith.

  Nicholas Brannick The gay rights movement has always been about using the apparatus of the state to compel not just acceptance but approval of their lifestyle. It was always going to come down to stripping away religious liberty.

  Thomas Meehan Yes and with the likes of Dreher to defend tradition, tradition loses.

  Thomas Meehan Running away to the backwoods while writing click bait for your fan club of deviates and pseudo-religious goo goos doesn't impress. It's your living, but it doesn't impress. Isn't it you who wrote, "…….But I want to go on record saying that I think he (Martin Luther King Jr.) was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. -- RD] The only tradition MLK represented was that of P.
