Gay activists insist that faggot comes from the word for the kindling beneath the feet of heretical homosexuals. Thats a lie.
But while the word faggot doesnt 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 Enders 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 1990and again in 2004he 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.......

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.
LOL! You made a funny!
