FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--

STAN: Or woman.

FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself--

STAN: Or herself.

FRANCIS: Or herself.

REG: Agreed.

FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.

STAN: Or sister.

FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?

REG: I think you'd finished.

FRANCIS: Oh. Right.

REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--

STAN: Or woman.

REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.

STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.

FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?

STAN: I want to be one.

REG: What?

STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

REG: What?!

LORETTA: It's my right as a man.

JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

LORETTA: I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But... you can't have babies.

LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.

REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LORETTA: [crying]

JUDITH: Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.

FRANCIS: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother. Sister. Sorry.

REG: What's the point?

FRANCIS: What?

REG: What's the point of fighting for his right to have babies when he can't have babies?!

FRANCIS: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.

REG: Symbolic of his struggle against reality.

I'm tempted to say that Monty Python has said everything that needs to be said about the recent decision by the Mass SJC regarding homosexual "marriage" and their struggle against reality.

[maica]

This deserves a Mega Ping! Who to call?

Justice Loretta of the Massachusetts SJC, delivering the majority opinion.

Apparently the new world order is that men and women are interchangable. I heard on the radio today that the Olympics have decided to allow sex-changed individuals to compete under their new gender. It will be interesting to see what the first woman to get a silver medal, second to a 250 pound ex-man, thinks about that.

[Terriergal]

Yep! Python is some of the most brilliant political commentary there is.

[Ff--150]

One judge, one person made this decision (4-3) and this will be law throughout all 50 states.

Judges are not royal?? And there is no oligarchy?? Whatever you say???????

I've been thinking about the whole gay "union" thing, and it comes down to the communist ideals (doesn't everything democratic come down to the communist?). In that I mean, that by allowing man-man / woman-woman relationships to be recognized by the courts - obviously there is a lessening in the "value" (perceived & real) of a man-woman relationship / marriage. What do the communist want? Well - they want the state to provide everything for the commoner. All love comes from the state. People are interchangeable, the state is everlasting and [insert name of communist dictator here] loves us all and wants what is for the good of all. If there are independent relationships with God, or other people (especially the powerful union of a man and woman in love) the power of the state is diluted by that. Remember abortion, "free love," modern art, popularity of atheism are all results of communist manipulation and dogma.

To some extent. But this plan is so diabolically well organized that it could only have originated in hell. "Anti-traditionalists" are united by their irrational ideas which are ultimately rooted in personal rebellion against the natural law and its God.

Great post and a definite "save"!

Nothing needs to be added to that.

[maica]

I agree completely. Because there is no Soviet Union, most people think there is no threat to our future from communist ideology/


God, Family, Country

All are principles under sustained assault.

[watchin]

Well said.

[maica]

Good suggestion!

If you need a laugh.
