I saw a headline yesterday that said the Aretha Franklin family is upset about the eulogy she received at her nine-hour funeral. Finally, a bit of sanity in all this! Which aspect was it that went too far? Was it the hijacking of the funeral as a political referendum against the sitting president? Was it former president Clinton ogling the female entertainers? Was it a megachurch pastor groping Ariana Grande, or making racial epitaphs by saying her name sounded like something off a Taco Bell menu?
No, they're upset that one of the pastors was mildly conservative. He spoke against the epidemic of single-parent black families (now at 72%) and said that blacks can't honestly protest that black lives matter until blacks stop killing each other at high rates. It's an appeal to traditional family values, to take responsibility for you own problems rather than blaming others. As I said, it's mildly conservative...thus totally unacceptable to the Franklin family.
Observe that, if a racist sexual predator and a conservative are stood before progressives, they will be offended by the presence of the conservative. What kind of monster would it take for the progressive to be less offended by the conservative? We've already seen that they'll side with Muslim terrorists over a conservative, or with MS-13 gang members. You can be sure that if we resurrected Mao or Stalin, liberals would praise the murderous dictator and denounce the man suggesting that maybe families should include fathers.
In their mind, conservatives are literally the worst. Worse than dictators, worse than murderers and gangsters. There is nothing more evil than your traditional values. They will always work against you, no matter how rational or upstanding you may be, and they will kill you if they are ever empowered to do so.
