Rush Limbaugh warned Democrats would eventually promote pedophilia.
Progressivism never stops. Its advocates never say, “This is far enough.” No sooner is one objective completed than left-wing agitators shout that a new social justice battle be waged.
For centuries, God-ordained families headed by one biological man and one biological woman have been civilizations’ bedrocks.
But just as progressives hunger to rewrite Western Civilization’s history (witness scholastic textbook revisionism and the razing of American Founders’ statuary), they crave cultural destruction.

First, they urged same-sex marriages to be legally recognized. Never mind that some 2,000 years of world cultural norms, not to mention the morality as declared in Scripture, were arrayed against such abominations.
In an April 3 Des Moines Register essay, former Polk County District Court Judge Robert B. Hanson (who had ruled in favor of same-sex Iowa marriages in 2007), tellingly characterized legalizing such deviant unions as being but a step on “the road to progress.”
The obvious implication: “progress” is an as-yet-unreached destination, meaning additional ambitions are desired.
Additional degenerates insisted they, too, deserved acceptance. Polygomous marriages and “throuples” were proclaimed legitimate by cultural disruptors. Members of the unnatural wedlock depicted by TLC program Sister Wives asserted they hoped to “combat social prejudices.”
Again, popular sentiment opposing aberrance is the product of common sense, traditional cultural mores, and Biblical mandate.
Today, transgenderism is all the rage in progressive precincts. Democrat President Joe Biden named Richard Leland Levine Assistant Secretary of Health, in 2021. Richard had earlier taken to wearing women’s attire and rebranded himself “Rachel.”
In its laudatory profiling of troubled Levine, Wikipedia consistently referred to him as “her” and “she.” Rather than conveying reality, Wikipedia’s editors prioritized progressive attitude, and presented a false account. Future students may consider Wikipedia information for analyses. If so, they will be misled and their conclusions skewed. Historical accuracy will be a casualty.
In June 2023, Biden invited hundreds of mentally maladjusted wrong-dressers to a White House event celebrating “Pride.” Photos of topless and painted transgenders cavorting on the White House lawn went viral.
A beaming Biden looked on and pronounced the twisted frolickers “courageous.”
Most recently, Biden prioritized transgenders (who vote) over Jesus (who doesn’t), by proclaiming the Christian Easter Sunday commemoration of Christ’s Resurrection to be Transgender Day of Visibility.
“Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans,” Biden declared. “You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire administration and I have your back.”
(Biden also claimed transgenders built this nation. I didn’t know Jefferson favored evening gowns.)
Christian group Return to Order launched an online petition calling on Biden to apologize for his action against the sacred day. The number of signers has already exceeded sponsors’ initial expectation.
Transgender teachers inculcate in toddlers unnatural values. Progressive advocates insist graphic, aberrant XXX imagery be welcomed in school libraries.
Transgender actors and characters polluted entertainment. They’ve been featured in TV shows including The Bold and the Beautiful, Medical Center, and Star Trek: Discovery. Among recent American films that portrayed transgenders sympathetically were Cowboys and West Side Story. Numerous foreign movies tout transgenderism.
It surely won’t be long before a television network presents a transgender newsreader. Competing networks will doubtlessly follow suit, lest they be perceived as insufficiently woke.
Transgenderism is validated by psychiatric and other medical professions that stopped caring about patient welfare long ago, and instead, champion woke delusions. The profit motive exerts tremendous attraction; there are millions to be reaped from hormone treatments and sex-organ mutilations.
To opine that the deviant “road to progress” will lead to pedophilia is not mere conjecture.
Preliminary moves in that direction have already been undertaken.
A November 2021 New York Post article reported that Allyn Walker, a transgender assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice at Virginia University, stepped down after protest over his insistence that pedophiles be referred to respectfully as “minor-attracted persons” (MAPS).
But progressive academia did not judge Walker’s sympathy for child lust disqualifying. The following year, he gained employment with the Johns Hopkins University Moore center which is, ironically, “aimed at preventing child sexual abuse,” according to the New York Post.
A sympathetic 2022 Rutgers University review of Walker’s book-length defense of child obsession, A Long Dark Shadow: Minor-Attracted People and their Pursuit of Dignity, euphemized potential predators as innocuous MAPS. Noted was Walker’s wooly-headed argument that pedophiles be portrayed positively in media.
Also in 2022, a National Library of Medicine report observed, “Interest in the sexual attractions to children or minors (referred to in this paper as ‘minor attraction’) is increasing in academic and social contexts.”
The author(s) lamented “stigma-related stress” that child-lusters allegedly suffer.
Entertainment targeted at children now communicates perversions, the intentions being acclimation and potential conversion. One Nickelodeon comedy features a 13-year-old transgender actor. Breitbart writer John Nolte often castigates what he terms the “Disney Grooming Syndicate,” including Pixar, for churning out deviant sexual messages in films like Lightyear and Strange World for innocent audiences.
Progressives, including those in political office, don’t view moral wrongs as negative phenomena to be punished and hopefully eradicated, but alternative choices deserving of societal respect and accommodation.
