‘There is no meeting halfway between truth and falsehood, between reality and delusion.’
(LifeSiteNews) –– Conservative Catholic commentator Michael Knowles gave a fiery address Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Coalition (CPAC), where he commented on marriage and gender issues saying that “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”
Knowles spent the first part of his talk decrying the state of political conservatism in America where, in his opinion, conservatives are all too eager to compromise with the left for political reasons.
“Though conservatives have many virtues,” he said, “unfortunately sometimes conservatives lack imagination.”
He went on to say that conservatives “suffer from low expectations – we think the thing we can most hope for is that we halt the left exactly where it is.”
“It sometimes seems as though all that conservatives do is defend the policies that the liberals fought for ten years ago,” he added.
For Knowles, “the clearest example” of what he described “is the battle over transgenderism.”
He quipped that it is as if voters have a choice between the left, who want transgender surgeries for third graders, and conservatives, who think it shouldn’t be allowed till fourth grade.
