Now that HG is gone we have no one to remind us about double posting. I guess it falls to me to do the dirty deed.

This article was first posted March 28, 2013 by expat1000. It has been updated and reposted on the Knish blog. Now, more than ever, we should acknowledge the vital importance of traditional marriage.

I don’t care if someone posts this 10 times, and I don’t understand why anyone else cares either. You can’t post the truth too many times for me.

I don’t usually criticize Daniel, but in this piece, he makes the fundamental error of conflating “sex” and “gender.” It is our sex - male or female - that is biologically fundamental. “Gender” is a social construction (or a grammatical formality).

The final deconstruction eliminates nation, religion, family and even gender to reduce the soul of man to a blank slate waiting to be written on.

This is what I have been screaming from the rooftops but even many on our side don't understand what the endgame truly is.

Nope, you’ve been fooled by his page. You can see his posts this week by clicking “in forum” if you are a fan.

OOPS! Suspension for the HG seems to have lasted little more than a day. Wait for it....

FWIW, this bears repeating, even if it is old. The hard fact is that America is running itself into the ground with indefinite deficits, hopeless romance with the 1990s, reduction in military, and then reducing to nothing the definition of marriage. Marriage means about nothing nowadays, there’s a reason why people simply shack up, especially in Europe, being married doesn’t mean much, nor does it have true tangible benefit, and you can easily acquire plenty of what one would associate marriage with without being married. Recently, I mentioned about a kid on the way, and someone assumed it was my girlfriend who was, and not my wife as it actually was. If people are assuming this much, society really is in trouble.

Do you mean Hum-—gun-—? His profile page says his account has been banned or suspended, but he has posted dozens of times in the last few days.

How does that happen?

This is first time I ever read this, it explains so much about what is going on and why and what exactly is at stake.

I came across an article last week that said the reason the left/Democrats are so gung ho for gay marriage and abortions is because its a means for population control.

Gay marriage is not a stopping point, just as men in women's clothing using the ladies room is not a stopping point. There is no stopping point at all.

This is the money quote. I have said on numerous occasions here that the fatal flaw of "progressivism" is that with it, as with cancer, there is no "stop" mechanism which tells it that enough is enough. Indeed, progressives seeking the perfect ant hill, will push every issue beyond its limits until they kill the host.

The day of the previous Knish post HG was “suspended of banned” according to a mod notation. I do not think he could fake that. Apparently it was a very short duration suspension. His posts since then have been devoid of personal slander. Maybe he got the message.

Population control is a factor to some leftists, but this is to destroy the family,and religion, and leave homosexuals blameless in public for their evil lifestyle.

No, I think he's series. He couldn't have written this, otherwise: Destroying gender roles was a prerequisite to destroying gender.

He's saying "gender" exists independently of "gender roles." He's got it wrong. Sex exists independently of roles. Outside the context of grammar, "gender" is nothing but roles: it's how a society expects people of different sexes to act.

To the extent that "sex roles" exist, they are strictly reproductive. Men inseminate. Women are impregnated, they gestate, they deliver babies, and they lactate. Beyond that, for just about any verb that you wanted to tack onto the subject "Men" or "Women" ... that is, "gender roles" ... you can find an exception in living or historical anthropology.

HG is never gone. He put that on his page himself. It’s just part of his ******* nature.
