What happened to enlightenment and tolerance?

The Greeks apparently have their togas in a wad because of the soon-to-be released film "Alexander" which alludes to the young leader's rumored bisexual tendencies. Isn't is the Europeans who have scolded Americans for their supposedly repressive view on sexuality? (This has always been a source of great irony for me. The Europeans thinks we are repressed and the Jihadists think we are the source of decadence and depravity. So which is it?)

All of this, of course, reached a crescendo during the Clinton years when Europeans scoffed at the Monica Lewinsky kerfluffle. They never quite got that the defiling of the Oval Office was only a small part of the outrage -- it was the lying, the obstruction of justice, asking others to lie...little things like that. Despite what history the Billy J. Clinton Presidential Library Bait & Tackle Shop and Massage Parlor tries to rewrite.

There has been a concerted effort in the past decade for the homosexual lobby to "out" many beloved historical figures in American history -- most recently, Abraham Lincoln. I don't quite know what the point of this exercise is, to be honest, except to seek some semblance of legitimacy by adding "big names" to the fold.

Now that American political correctness seems to have taken on a beloved Greek historical figure important to their sense of nationalistic pride and self-identification, the Greeks are having none of it. A little late to wise up, friends.

Go Greeks! I wrote about this as well--with a personal twist.

Kay, you need trackback capabilities.
