Men wear suits, and women wear beautiful skirts or dresses. No obscenity or vulgarity corrupts the scene. Male characters are manly, while female characters are feminine \u2014 both for good and for ill. Few people of loose morals earn the glitzy lights. Traditional family life, with male providers and ladies minding the home, is normative. Think \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then everything changed.<\/p>\n<p>Joy Pullmann, executive editor of these pages, meticulously catalogues episodes of this revolution in her new book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/False-Flag-Queer-Politics-America-ebook\/dp\/B0D3MWRZH2?ref_=ast_author_dp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America<\/a><\/em>. But her book is more than just a parade of perversities; it shows how today\u2019s queer politics fails in light of the standard found in the theory and practice of America\u2019s founding.<\/p>\n<p>For Pullmann, queer politics is the leading edge of \u201cregime change,\u201d a move from one way of life (as depicted in those old movies) to a new one (where sex is center stage). Generally, that old, straight regime sought to sustain manners that taught people to restrain unbridled sexual urges, which inevitably fizzle out, so they could find happiness in married and family life. The new <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2023\/06\/17\/conservatives-and-our-queer-constitution\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">queer constitution<\/a> elevates human sexuality as the primary human preoccupation, remaking family life and public virtue in light of sexual obsession. Most people think through their pants.<\/p>\n<p>Yet Pullmann shows that the queer constitution is not simply a spontaneous product of human choice. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sexual-State-Ideologies-Destroying-Church\/dp\/1505112451\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sexual state<\/a> propagates its hard, almost violent ethical core. Public authorities drape themselves in the rainbow, while those who oppose \u201cpride\u201d are investigated for so-called hate crimes and forced through lawfare to bake the cake in others. Through sexual discrimination laws, the state forces employers to affirm the identities of newly minted \u201ctransgendered\u201d employees or to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstthings.com\/article\/2024\/03\/compulsory-feminism\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">pretend<\/a> that mothers and fathers do not have different familial duties. Erasures of conscience restrictions force doctors to mutilate confused children and adults. Administrative rule-making is farmed out to the Human Rights Campaign, and public school curriculum is written under the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). All will be made to comply.<\/p>\n<p>As a matter of logic, this revolution leaves a lot to be desired. \u201cPride Devours Itself,\u201d one of Pullmann\u2019s ringing chapters, suggests that the movement could collapse because of its internal contradictions. Feminists long advocated for women\u2019s sports, but the transgender ideologues build on the feminist principles separating identity from one\u2019s body to undermine women\u2019s sports. Gay groups sought recognition for same-sex marriage, but that entire movement presupposed a steady understanding of sex, which transgender ideology calls into question. Our woke military seems hardly concerned about fighting and winning wars.<\/p>\n<p>Logic, as the saying goes, is the hobgoblin of little minds. The revolutionaries with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/welcome-to-americas-ungovernable-regime-of-sexual-chaos\/\" title=\"Welcome to America&#039;s Unruly Realm of Sexual Chaos\">larger minds simply side-step<\/a> these contradictions. Every aspect of the queer constitution stigmatizes and destroys the old sexual constitution and aims to build a new ethic. \u201cWhat unites all these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/students-want-professor-to-resign-after-expressing-concern-over-anti-white-sentiment-on-campus\/\" title=\"Students Want Professor To Resign After Expressing Concern Over Anti-White Sentiment On Campus\">identity groups<\/a>,\u201d Pullmann writes, \u201cis their wholesale rejection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mainstream-media-and-big-techs-seismic-shift-to-the-left\/\" title=\"Mainstream Media and Big Tech\u2019s Seismic Shift to the Left\">natural rights<\/a> and the American way of life based upon them\u201d and their denial that \u201ca stable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dont-be-like-the-hippies\/\" title=\"Don\u2019t Be Like the Hippies\">human nature<\/a> exists.\u201d The queers can resolve their internal contradictions after this old constitution is vanquished forever.<\/p>\n<p>Pullman thus, at the deepest level of her book, joins a debate about the adequacy of American principles like natural rights and limited government as a coherent alternative to the rolling revolution in sexual matters.<\/p>\n<p>Some, like Patrick Deneen, think the American founding\u2019s endorsement of individualism or natural rights fated America to this queer rolling revolution. Others more gently think a <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmind.org\/features\/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-pajama-boy-nietzscheans\/liberalisms-genetic-predisposition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">genetic predisposition<\/a> toward excessive individualism softened the ground for America\u2019s new sexual Marxism (as Pullmann calls it). Pullmann, with the help of Thomas G. West\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Political-Theory-American-Founding-Conditions\/dp\/1316506037\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">excellent book<\/a> on the American founding, shows how our founding principles are in flat contradiction to our queer constitution. For Pullmann, there is a straight line from natural rights to the traditional family to the complex of laws and mores that sustain the straight constitution.<\/p>\n<p>For West, the American founders distinguished between the goal of government (securing persons and property) and the goals of life (pursuing happiness in the highest sense). Government is therefore limited. The highest things are no longer government\u2019s concern, except as the promotion of the highest things aids in securing natural rights. <\/p>\n<p>The overlap was, for the founders, significant, and they endorsed significant restrictions on liberty in the name of virtue politics. Endorsed by the founders were efforts to promote distinctive manly and feminine virtues, enduring and fruitful marriage, anti-sodomy ethos, and an atmosphere of Christian faith to buttress the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the founders adopted a policy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalaffairs.com\/publications\/detail\/the-form-and-function-of-the-american-family\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">indirect<\/a> public power to support and maintain families. This promoted the marital form necessary to promote man-woman, enduring, fruitful, and early marriage while maintaining a climate of opinion that elevated marriage, subordinated sexuality in the name of greater goods, and promoted self-control as necessary to control potentially unruly eros.<\/p>\n<p>Evidence for West\u2019s thesis abounds. Every promoter of our queer constitution attacked the founders; their market economy; their laws against obscenity or fornication or polygamy; their promotion of monogamous, man-woman, enduring marriage; and their objective of uniting sex, procreation, marriage, and parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>Pullmann thinks the founders\u2019 sexual constitution was eroded without the consent of the governed during a century-long regime change akin to a <em>coup d\u2019etat<\/em>. Many queer innovations, however, have been embraced through democratic \u201creform\u201d (e.g., no fault divorce, same-sex marriage in some jurisdictions, anti-sex discrimination laws, and pro-queer curriculum at the local level). Few have outwardly revolted against our rolling sexual revolution, even as the stability that undergirds civic happiness has eroded. The totalitarian \u201cwoke theocracy\u201d that Pullmann ably describes is detested but somehow also tolerated.<\/p>\n<p>On one level, this stands to reason. Though commercial peoples need the family more than most (as Tocqueville noticed), the market economy nevertheless disrupts most, if not all, institutions, including the family. Capitalism\u2019s churning makes all permanent features of human nature appear evanescent. And markets work in promoting prosperity and peace (just as the founders predicted). Americans enjoying unprecedented luxury are more likely to accept, as John Adams <a href=\"https:\/\/imprimis.hillsdale.edu\/americas-crisis-of-success-and-the-political-economy-of-gratitude-november-1978\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote<\/a> worryingly to Jefferson in 1819, \u201ceffeminacy, intoxication, extravagance, vice, and folly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ours is a queer world, as Pullmann shows. Nearly the same queer world is descending on America, Great Britain, France, Italy, Poland, and other countries, though we are among the world leaders. Our tradition provides many resources for a counterrevolution, which Pullmann ably describes, yet so does the Catholic traditions among the French and the Polish (where people do not even use preferred pronouns much). Counterrevolutionaries would do well to draw on every aspect of Western tradition to stave off the decadence and corruption.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Scott Yenor is senior director of state coalitions at the Claremont Institute\u2019s Center for the American Way of Life and a professor of political science at Boise State University.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watching movies from the 1940s feels like entering a different world where men wear suits and women wear elegant skirts or dresses, and there is no obscenity or vulgarity. Male characters are portrayed as manly and female characters as feminine, reflecting traditional family roles. However, this changed over time with the rise of queer politics, as discussed in Joy Pullmann&#8217;s book &#8220;False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America.&#8221; This book explores how queer politics challenges the founding principles of America by placing a strong emphasis on sexuality and reshaping family life and public virtue. The queer constitution, according to Pullmann, rejects natural rights and the traditional American way of life, aiming to establish a new ethic centered around sexual obsession. Despite internal contradictions within the queer movement, Pullmann argues that the revolution seeks to dismantle the old sexual constitution and replace it with a new one. This shift from natural rights to the queer constitution is seen as a threat to the traditional family values and laws that have long been upheld in America.
