The left turns on Bruce Jenner after he admits he is a Christian conservative-leaning Republican who believes in the Constitution

April 25, 2015

AP_bruce_jenner_jt_150207_4x3_992 I have not paid much attention to the Bruce Jenner story because simply it does not interest me, what a person does in his private life is nobody’s business but his own–or at least this story did not interest me until now. When it first came to light that Bruce Jenner was “transitioning into a woman” the left was giddy because they thought they had a famous transgendered celebrity, and American hero, who they could use as an example to hold up to the American people in their fight for LGBTQ rights.

  However something interesting, and altogether unexpected, happened on the way to the battle for equal rights for the LBGTQ community–Bruce Jenner told the world that he was a Christian conservative-leaning Republican. And to top it all of he said be believes in the Constitution.

 Needless to say this did not sit well with many on the left and it did not take long for them to turn on Bruce Jenner as can be seen here and here. The left had turned him into a liberal icon simply because they assumed what his political leanings were based simply on who he was or, perhaps more accurately, who he hopes to become. This is a classic example of the left’s assumption that all people of a certain group–whether it be race, gender, sexual preference, or class–must all vote the same way and not be individually-minded.

  In my opinion those on the left who have turned on Bruce Jenner have shown us who the real bigots are and I believe they have shown us they do not give a damn about transgendered peoples’ rights but are only interested in using them for political reasons. As you can see if you follow the links above, many on the left have no use for somebody like Bruce Jenner if their political beliefs are not in alignment with their own and as I see it this is a blatant example of liberal hypocrisy.

  But there was one group who applauded Bruce Jenner’s announcement:

But one group — the Log Cabin Republicans — welcomed Jenner into its fold. Its National Executive Director Gregory T. Angelo issued this statement:

“As the nation’s only organization representing LGBT conservatives and straight allies, Log Cabin Republicans congratulates Bruce Jenner in the tremendous courage he demonstrated tonight, being true to himself both in terms of his personal identity as well as his political identity,” Gregory T. Angelo, the Log Cabin Republicans’ national executive director, said in a statement. “There is a home for you in Log Cabin Republicans — as there is for all lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgender conservatives and straight allies.”

  But the people on the right are the intolerant ones? Personally I believe Bruce Jenner is a very confused person but it is not up to me to judge him for his personal life choices, God will judge him someday. Well, God and the intolerant left I should say…

    It’s strange seeing him…her? as a woman after watching him (her) compete when I was a child. It’s strange. That liberals reject him (her) because of his (her) political and/or religious beliefs is no surprise.

    I HAVE COMPLETELY GIVEN UP ON SIDING WITH ANYONE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. I REALLY DO NOT BELIEVE HE/SHE FEELS THAT WAY, AND WHO IN THE HELL KNOWS HOW AND WHY THEY REALLY FEEL AND/OR THINK. WHERE WERE THEY, WHEN OBAMA WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, WHY ARE THEY NOT SPEAKING UP AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, WHY HAVE THEY NOT SPOKEN UP AGAINST THE CONFIRMATION OF LORETTA LYNCH, AND WHY DO THEY NOT SEE THAT THESE SO CALLED MINORITIES OF THE PAST ARE NO LONGER MINORITIES. THIS IS JUST TO GAIN MORE ATTENTION AND IT IS NOW “SAFE” IN HOLLYWOOD, SINCE THE GOP IS NO LONGER THE GOP, BUT THE ONE PARTY SYSTEM AS THE DEMOCRATS. SO HE/SHE WANTS TO CHANGE OVER TO BECOME A WOMAN, AND NOW HE/SHE IS CHANGING VIEWS. WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY, WHEN WE NEED THEM, THE POUR THEIR MONIES INTO POLITICIANS, WHO TAKE AWAY OUR LIBERTIES AND CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM, BUT ALLOW THEM TO HAVE THEIRS. THEY NEVER SPEAK UP A HEAD OF TIME, BUT ONLY A HAND FULL, WILL SPEAK UP AFTER THE FACT, OF WHICH THEY HAVE ALREADY KNOW. THEY ARE NOTHING, BUT ONE SOCIETY OF JOKES, THAT WE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE MADE RICH AND SPENT OUR HARD EVER TO GET DOLLARS ON. BRUCE IS JUST ANOTHER. HE/SHE HAD BETTER NOT CRY ON MY SHOULDERS, BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ONE FOR ANY OF THEM.

    Completely fake story. First off, a handful of Twitter trolls don’t represent “the left”, and that’s all these stories have quoted. Secondly, this meme about “Who’s intolerant now, huh?” has ONLY appeared on op-ed web sites with a “right” point of view. It hasn’t appeared on a single large news site. This is a few a-holes trying to stir a pot that doesn’t exist.

    Most people don’t care at all how Bruce Jenner votes, and are happy he’s found a way to be more comfortable with himself. It must have been awful feeling he had to lie to everyone.

      No it is not a huge news story, I just found it interesting so see a bunch of people on the left turn on his so quickly because they had a preconceived notion about him based on one aspect of his life.

        There was no “bunch of people”. That was my hunch, since borne out by better sources. Far more came out in support, at all parts of the political spectrum. That’s why I called “bs” on it being something that even happened. Here’s a CNN version – “ABC staffers were refreshing Twitter and Facebook to see the real-time reactions. And they were overwhelmingly more positive than expected”.

        The left never turned on Jenner over his politics. No one but a few random trolls seeking attention said anything negative. Here’s an example of the full story from CNN Money: http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/25/media/bruce-jenner-transgender-reactions/

    Any story that may divert our attention away from Hillary. I agree totally with you. But then again, who knows that for the most part, it was the GOP that moved along Civil rights and ended slavery.
