Michael Medved on Now Discussing "Brokeback Mountain" and the Gay War on Marriage
Michael Medved Show KRLA 870

Posted on 12/14/2005 2:10:55 PM PST by Cinnamon Girl

Michael says Paula Zahn found a gay cowboy to interview for her show and that there's a gay rodeo league or something.

He says the movie ads hide the fact that the film is anti-marriage. It breaks up two marriages with kids and yet is described as "a wonderful love story."

They tried to remake Verdi's La Cavalleria Rusticana with a gay theme. Something is lost in the translation here.

I don't think adultery, sodomy, or pederasty are acceptable forms of behavior in any era. Color me old-fashioned.

Now if it were a story of gay lovers without the adultery angle, that wouldn't make it any more uplifting. Try as one might, there's a reason for heterosexual love. Hollywood can elide over it all it wants but just because depravity is now politically correct doesn't make it right.

No, my friend, they think we're hicks and our sexual mores need to be updated whether we like it or not. Its not like they care if we agree with them or not on the subject.

That's right... they can't lure people into watching a movie unless they trick people into thinking its mainstream fare. They pull enough of that bait and switch BS, people will catch on to it.

The bottom line(you should pardon the pun!) is that homosexuals have overplayed their hand. I am all for giving that group whatever rights they feel that they need, but any rational human being can see that they've grabbed everything in sight. Just like looters, they've smashed and grabbed...only they did it with our children.
Schools are the largest target, and media(i.e. ABC Family and Disney)

I don't care what homosex people do in the privacy of their homes, however, I am appalled at the way they constantly chip away at any sense of public decency(how's that for a throwback!!!) or the stone hard fact that they are after children. The homosex agenda/NAMBLA/ACLU triumvirate has created an atmosphere that endorses and encourages child rape by any adult with a lust for young flesh. Witness the proliferation of teen males being raped by older women schoolteachers.

Homosex is 24/7 sexual material all the time. Your innocent young child can watch 'Will&Grace' any time. It is an afterschool program now. Why do FR'ers with kids not wage war on this pox? My own kids are grown, but I am here to tell you, I would not have a TV, INTERNET, or BETMTVVH1MSM in my home if I had young kids. TV and schools are telling little children that they have the RIGHT to pursue a sexual relationship wih a 50+ male homosexual. How's that for PC BS? If the war begins at home, I say we protect the kids and prosecute the homosexuals.

OK. FR mods say that there is no such being as ChigacoGuy12, so I must consider that this post is a 'hit and run'. Fine by me. My unbridled resentment of the homosex agenda is known far and wide. I will sleep well tonight!

I just don't care what gay people do, as I don't care about things that don't affect me.

If it stayed entirely private, then I would agree with you. But male homosexuals, in particular, want to spread their bathhouse culture (clubs, bars, etc.) to ~every~ community.

And if it's not bathhouses, it is public parks and public restrooms. They spread HIV, not only inadvertently, but also willfully, and then demand an endless stream of tax dollars to care for the sufferers.

They are spreading -- by this very film, for example -- their tawdry message and lewd winks throughout the culture where no one, adult or child, can escape it. They push it into school curricula and into libraries.

They have created a profound distrust in the culture toward adults who work with children. Teachers, scout leaders, and clergy are all suspect, and children must be warned about them. (Not all sexploitation of children is homosexual but a great deal of it is.)

And if you are tolerant of thier right to enjoy their pleasure unmolested, why do you -- such a libertine -- want to stifle those of us who dissent from even our right to speak here about it. All rights for homosexuals, none for traditional conservatives...is that your position???

The tragedy brought upon the women and children isn't because the men are "gay" and oppressed by society. It's because the men are selfish and put their own pleasure and desires above that of the people who trust and love them. Just like all of the other "down low" homosexuals spreading diseases and heartbreak to the women who love them.

One of the things I dislike about liberal thought is the fact that "society" is blamed for individual choices and acts. As a Christian, quite frankly, that's abhorrent to me. It's one thing to say that these men couldn't help being attracted to one another. But everything after that point is a choice.

"Star-crossed lovers" is nothing new. How many people involved in opposite-sex affairs have truly believed they were "following their hearts" and fulfilling "destiny" and finding their "soulmate"? What about poor Humbert Humbert? Didn't he love Lolita? That's why the Bible says the heart is treacherous. It's a silly and dangerous notion that you should "follow your heart" regardless of the consequences. And it rises to the level of offensive and disgusting to say that even if the consequences are devastating to people who love, trust and respect you, well, who cares about them, you're in luuuurrrve.

What makes this particular piece of propoganda even worse is the fact that by cloaking the betrayal and immorality in "oh, those poor oppressed gays", it sends the message that all of this is okay.

What's funny is that the one of the characters isn't attracted to any other men besides this one. Other than that, he's completely into women and continues to date them throughout. So don't tell me he had no choice.

No, that's not my position. I full agree that conservatives have a right to speak out against things like for example their children being taught homosexuality in the school against their wishes, and also to speak out against this movie if they wish. I will always support the right of people to speak their minds. I just don't think this silly movie is that big a deal.

I like what Larry the Cable Guy said about it: "I got some friend that's into SHEEP but they ain't havin' a parade about it ever Friday"

"The "they were born that way argument" relies upon the controversial issue of biological determinism, something science cannot prove either way."

I don't claim to understand the reasons for it, biological or otherwise. Why are some people born left handed? I don't know. Is there some physical difference? I think that trying to condition a gay person to be straight has the same chance of success as conditioning you or I to be attracted to the same sex. Not gonna happen.

I know there's the segment of the gay population, the exception to the rule in my view, that just have a perverted streak and decide it's "cool" to be gay or something (or just have a pention to stick it anywhere it fits, in general), but I believe that MOST gay people just have a natural intrinsic feeling of attraction towards the same sex, the same way a straight person is attracted to the opposite sex. I actually feel pretty bad for them, because that would really suck. I consider it just in ingrained disorder or condition if you will. As a Christian I have compassion for them. I can't imagine someone choosing a lifestyle on pusposes that would have them be ostracized for most of their lives. I also suspect that some homosexuality is the result of trauma from sexual abuse suffered very early in life.

JMHO.

True. I was just pointing out to the poster (by making the movie synopsis generic) that the issue of immorality was one that should be condemned regardless of the sexual tendencies of the immoral people. But you are right, the movie tries to make homosexuality acceptable and sympathetic while demonizing those who disagree with the homosexual lifestyle. I shouldn't have let that slip.

The real villian in this movie is apparently "homophobia" because it picks out the worse aspects of anti-gay behavior, i.e., murder, and highlights it. So, yes, the entire movie to my mind is objectionable. I should have made that clear.

Are you saying that Matthew Shepherds murder was by another gay guy? For a long time Matthews murder was all you heard and you would think the worst thing that ever happen to the entire world. I began getting more than upset because my brothers murder was very horrible and sad for me. Murder is a sin,and is a horrible tragedy . Just because someone is gay does not make their death more tragic than someone elses' family member. But the media and the gay community had to make Matthews death more important for their agenda and the pc crowd. Now to find out Matthews murder was not a HATE crime is an eye opener considering I haven't heard anything about it. And believe me I watch fox news all the time. The truth is we are all equal in our grief over our loved ones. The only thing my brother did wrong was the guy didn't like the way he looked. All murders are generated by some sort of hatred period.

I have two questions could they have told the story without the sex part? I am sick to death of any movie always thinking that people want to see them naked or moaning and groaning during sex. Now that we are talking about gay sex, I do not want to ever see gay sex in a movie now or ever. And that is exactly what they are looking to gain for their agenda. If we can just get comfortable about seeing two men having sex we can look forward to more of it. Anything that comes out of hollywood is not about love not a true love story, not any more. They have taken upon themselves to sexualize everything they touch. Even the lives they lead. And for that matter let them try and make a movie where a gay guy has come to terms with his lifestyle and changed through the love he found with Christ. It has happened but you will never see it and I can promise you anyone trying it would receive death threats. Real love is not in a movie real love was on the cross. My son has a good friend who is gay and I can see how difficult it is for him when he hears anything that is not postive in accepting the life style. But I can bet he would not have the desire to go see this movie brokeback mountain.

The idolatry of perversion is another totem of the Left. Pornography is an idolatry of perversion. Much of television, movies, and the literary culture of the Leftist elite in print, are nothing more than a cleverly masked promotion of their Marxist cult (that is to say, masked much like actors of ancient Greek drama).
"What gay ideologues, inflated like pink balloons with poststructuralist hot air, can’t admit, of course, is that heterosexuality is nature’s norm, enforced by powerful hormonal cues at puberty. In the past decade, one shoddy book after another, rapturously applauded by p.c. reviewers, has exaggerated the incidence of homosexuality in the animal world and, without due regard for reproductive adaptations caused by environmental changes, toxins or population pressure, reductively interpreted bonding or hierarchical behavior as gay in the human sense."

Camille Paglia, professor of humanities and media studies at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Homosexual monogamy advocates are a cult of perversion seeking ceremonious sanctification of preternatural prurient preferences for voluntary deviancy with anatomical function. It is not a logical basis to claim societal privileges; it is religiously psychotic.

Homosexual monogamy advocates are desperately pursuing some esoteric absolution to justify their guilt-ridden egos through ceremonious sanctification in marriage. (Is Freudian psychoanalytic theory of sexual stages in psychological development more accurate than accredited?) This has no secular standard; it is an idolatrous fetish pursued with religious fervor, a golden calf.

Perhaps advocates of homosexual monogamy (civil unions) could conclave to enshrine a new phantasmal state religion and consecrate Michael Jackson as its first ecumenical pope… (Jackson now resides in Bahrain.)

Michael Jackson, with the undying support of his "fans" (or fanatics) in the face of his more than questionable activities concerning the abuse of children, is still held up as an idol. Jackson, both in his family life as a child and his adult life, is a modern extension of pedagogical pagan pedophilia of previous ages in ancient civilizations. Look at the macabre pagan elements of Jackson's video, Thriller.

Michael Jackson had Nation of Islam thugs as bodyguards escorting him after a court appearance through the throngs of frenzied supporters. Is Jackson their new pharaoh? Nation of Islam is a militant racist cult, that is neither Muslim or based on any traditional religious doctrine. Their leaders, Louis Farrakhan (the numerologist) and Kahlid Abdul Mohammed, are known Jew haters. They also support many illogical and socially subversive Leftist political activities intent on tearing down the structures of Modern Western Civilization and capitalism.

The Michael Jackson Complex is fixation on mutilation of and deviance with human anatomy in the media. It is a social psychosis catering to the lowest common denominator and generated with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning in popular culture.

The Left is most properly identified with ‘a confederacy of deceivers (and perverts) that, to obtain dominion over men in this present world, endeavor, by obscure and erroneous doctrines.’ The Left is obsessed with erecting idols, images and symbols to hide their agenda(s), as well as to expand their congregation in these cults of perversion. Malakhim Raoth attempts to supplant Mosaic Law for a golden man-made idol.

Today, "morals" are defined by a quasi-religious pagan philosophy based on esoteric hobgoblins. A greater number of "atheists" and "pagans" adopt the same hackneyed tenets of a false Judaic-Christian ideal (golden calf). They also subscribe to the Judaic fetishism of "sin," but will fight to their death in denial of it. Most of them are so wrapped up in their own polemics that they have become nothing more than pathetic anti-Christians with the same false hypocritical philosophy. They just slap a new label on it hoping nobody will notice - - they replace the idea of "avoiding sin" with "morals."

Morality and all of its associated concepts are from the belief some higher power defines what is correct in human behavior. Today, "morals" are a religious pagan philosophy of esoteric hobgoblins. Transfiguration is a pantheon of fantasies as the medium of infinitization. Others get derision for having an unwavering Judaic belief in Yahweh or Yeshua, although their critics and enemies will evangelize insertion of phantasmagoric fetishisms into secular law.

Take Rosie O'Donnell for instance... Everything about her is a lie. She is not a parent and has no children that are the product of her ovaries. Rosie says she wants children, but claims she is homosexual (the desire to have children is a biologically driven heterosexual desire). Rosie simply cannot make up her mind. By definition, homosexuals do not reproduce - - it is self-imposed sterility. Fanatic, fantastic fantasies, a perverse, infertile cult of fertility. Holy cow! "Unsex me here!" (Lady Macbeth)

Neither can any person ever have a "sex change." The physicians who attempt this should not be allowed to practice medicine, it is disfigurement. The same goes for breast implants: instead of lawsuits against Dow-Corning, the doctors who implanted the silicone bags should be held liable for violating their Hippocratic Oath (another pagan doctrine).

The use of the language is so very twisted by the Leftist radicals, that in our touchy-feely world, many blindly accept erroneous terminology. XX or XY chromosomes are immutable after conception when mitosis begins. People are either genetically male or female. There are genetic abnormalities/defects, but these people are sterile. [XO (Turner syndrome), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XXX (poly-X syndrome), and XYY (Jacob syndrome).] No matter how many X-chromosomes there are, any individual with the Y-chromosome develops into a male. The abnormalities are so few, only one in several thousands occurs. So much for the "gay" gene - - it does not exist. It is a phantasm, an ‘endeavor by dark and erroneous doctrines’ to occlude the light of truth about nature. It is not a procreant genotype.

‘Surely, the angel they must serve would have told them they were borne of woman.’ (Paraphrasing MacDuff in Macbeth.)

Try an experiment. The next time you are confronted by a neo-pagan, New Age animal rights eco-fascist who claims humans were not "designed" or "meant" to eat animal flesh, ask them about the origin of their creationist philosophy. Inherent in such a claim is the idea that there is a "designer" or some divinity of "meaning" in human existence. Would they apply this to abortion, embryonic stem cells, or homosexuality? No?

Contemplate the religious fervor associated with the pro-abortion advocacy. The societal practice of abortion is ritual mass murder upon the altars of conceit dedicated to idolatrous vanities, a collective human sacrifice before pagan idols. It has a similitude to the Teutonic paganism of Adolph Hitler (whose idolatry was the idea of a "master race"). In effect these genocides were/are a mass human sacrifice to those pagan idols. The abortionists, like the National Socialists, incinerate the remains of their victims.

The Nuclear Option

If you want to be added to this list, please notify me...

Originally, the Nuclear Option Ping List started out as a practical joke. With all the vitriolic response I received from certain un-named individuals, I figured it would be a great idea to do it for real...

I have observed here on Free Republic, a never ending flaming of religious folks and conservatives by people who promote things such as drug abuse, homosexuality, the ritual murder of abortion and other garbage.

Not being an orthodox or ecumenical atheist, it has really stretched my patience. I do not think policemen are jack-booted thugs, nor do I look at people who want to protect their families from filthy scum as brownshirts.

The purpose of this is to alert people to the cultural Marxism run amok... Drugs, sex perverts, pornography (in film and in music), marijuana, liquor, bashing the religious people, destroying social institutions (like marriage and the Boy Scouts), etc., etc.,... ad nausea...

The druggies like the sex perverts can only perpetuate an ever increasing market for their filth by molesting the minds and bodies of the young ones... this is the only way they get new Demo-rat voters... CHEMICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE!

It is no coincidence Islamic pagans hate Israel, Jews, Christians and Western Civilization. The entire basis of Western Civilization is Mosaic Law, something both the Neo-Pagan Left and the pagan Islamic thugs cannot abide and wish to destroy.

The very idea that human beings have individual rights not subject to the whims of a monarch, but subject to the laws of Yahweh, is directly from Moses.

Historically, this is proven over and over again with the succsessive conflicts between the forces of paganism and the Judaic culture. It is being played out here and all over the world today...

Observing this as an atheist, I prefer the paradigm of a Judaic culture to the chaotic death cult of New Age neo-pagan absurdity.
