[Stop Legal Plunder]

Poor equivalency argument.

Of course it's not designed to be anything so rational as an argument. The typical government school grad of today wouldn't know a logical argument if it bit him. But he is well-tuned to be sensitive to political associations trumped up by the media elites...

The contemporary era is one of feelings, not thoughts. That won't change until we all toss out the TVs and discipline ourselves and our families to regularly read good books.

"political associations trumped up by the media elites..."

That is a good point - the mind works through association...

bigotry does too. bigotry is just the association of a group/class with a set of characteristics - judging a book by its cover.

here they judge a movement of set of people by analogy with another group. Same kind of associative thinking. So they use the same mind-trick that bigots do to push their own agenda which they claim is against bigotry! Ironic!

Absolutely right. It is a transparent attempt to link the image of something abominable -- slavery -- with something perfectly normal -- opposition to homosexuality. If the average pro-hetero can be turned into Simon Legree, it makes every queer a sympathetic soul.

I don't know that God had much to say about slavery, but He makes it pretty clear where He stands on homosexuality.
