But Parton’s version of love, which includes condoning immoral sexual behavior (“be who you are,” she’s said), is unaligned with God’s vision for humanity. Like so many secularized spiritual leaders, Parton equates love with agreement, but the two are not reciprocal. Love doesn’t mean we must accept sinfulness as good to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.

The Federalist Society, those paragons of virtue who brought us the current conservative crop, are going after Dolly Parton.

    If you don’t know anything about this group, just consider this line from the article:

    These buzzwords — inclusion, acceptance, love — usually mean only one thing to leftists.

    They consider those to be nothing more than “buzzwords”.

    It reminds me of some lines in the movie Bullit. A ladder-climbing DA tells detective Bullit, “Don’t be naive, Lieutenant. We both know how careers are made. Integrity is something you sell the public.”

    Bullit tells him, “You sell whatever you want, but don’t sell it here tonight.”

    The FedSoc sold their integrity long ago.

    I didn’t realize this site was still around. Dolly is a literal saint, good luck winning hearts by trashing her.
