Gay Kryptonite
Taki's Magazine ^ | March 12, 2013 | Kathy Shaidle

Gay activists insist that “faggot” comes from the word for the kindling beneath the feet of heretical homosexuals. That’s a lie.

But while the word “faggot” doesn’t come from “a bundle of sticks,” the word “fascist” does.

Funny, that.

Behold: In the name of “truth, justice and the American way,” a renowned science-fiction writer has just been condemned to (professional) death for expressing his views on homosexuality in a tiny Mormon magazine almost twenty-five years ago.

Orson Scott Card wrote the beloved 1985 Hugo and Nebula Award-winning novel Ender’s Game“ about the innocence of a child winning out over war and hatred,” an “irony” which seems to be making his “homophobia” all the more heartbreaking to his lifelong (liberal) fans.

So what did Card say?

Back in 1990—and again in 2004—he objected to the legalization of sodomy and “gay marriage” by judicial fiat. If unelected judges can nullify thousands of years of civil and religious law in a trice, he asked, what else will our robed rulers force us to accept? Will ordinary people someday rise up against this tyrannical system?

“These spindly beta males all secretly see themselves as righteous macho caped crusaders, rescuing the world whether it needs it or not.”

That candid, decades-long (and, some would say, perfectly sound) opposition to “gay marriage” in particular and top-down social engineering in general suddenly rendered Card persona non grata when DC Comics hired him to write a Superman comic last month.......

Probably shouldn’t go around claiming to enjoy ‘smoking fags’ when you are in the states...

It’s probably the same company, Fischers Aktien-Gesellschaft. In German it’s no more unusual than a company here called Fisher, Inc., but in English ...

The Brits also have an expression "fag end" which refers to the loose end of a rope (and by extension, a cigarette) or the frayed end of an article of clothing. (It also has a figurative meaning of the end run of manufactured items, usually of poor quality.)

I'll guess the origin is the "loose end" connotation which probably began as a course joke.

Then he could form an awfully small club called the “Sane Democrat Caucus.”

WWI doughboys’ song:

“Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag, and smile, smile, smile.

“While you’ve a lucifer to light your fag, smile, boys, that’s the style.

“What’s the use of worrying, it was never worth while,

“So, pack your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile!”

I don’t know it it’s the same company as the baseball cap, but I know I have seen the building with its big sign for decades in Joplin, MO. I think I had a relative that worked there a long time ago. I think the FAG stood for something, but I don’t know what.
