Great article! And it's very accurate in noting that sexually libertine nations become bloated welfare states.

The most important public act my wife and I have performed is to leave our nation four healthy, thriving children.

Do it for the Fatherland, fraulein!

He has constructed a logical discourse on the corruption of homosexuality, but few will change their thinking as a result.

But isn’t homosexuality harmless?

Sure! It is just coincidence that homosexuals commit suicide at a far greater rate than heterosexuals. It is just coincidence that homosexuals are much more likely to use illegal drugs and overdose than heterosexuals. It is also just a coincidence that they get AIDS, STD's, hepatitis, and many other diseases at many times the rate of heterosexuals. And it is just coincidence that they tend to have much shorter life spans than heterosexuals.

Or at least practice at it ;^)

"Californians are being asked to approve of homosexuality, not tolerate it."

We all are...and this is one of the keys to this issue. We have gone way beyond being asked to tolerate homosexuality: We are now being asked to accept it. This is an effort at validation, so they not only feel better about themselves, but so they can also silence anyone who may disagree with them.

The love that used to dare not speak its name will now force all of us to talk about it ceaselessly and with politically enforced care. Soon all California will be shaped after the pattern of San Francisco. The left will prosper and the right decline. Libertarians obsessed with simplistic slogans and thinking will approve at first from their fringe, but look in terror as the nanny state grows as it always does. They will not have meant to do so, but the libertarians will have delivered California to the libertines. All so that a small, wealthy, but influential segment of the California public can still for a moment their own consciences and defy nature and nature’s God.

Well done!

Soon religious colleges will lose the right to student money for their students

Once the money is correctly identified (as the taxpayers' money), it becomes evident that they never had any such "right" -- and indeed ought to adamantly reject any assertion of such a supposed "right" as a blatant violation of one of the Ten Commandments.

Since this is the Philosophy section, I have philosophical questions. The ontology underlying this post seems to be one of Two Worlds. The epistemology is a combination of faith and appeal to reason. The ethics is altruistic: Do the right thing for the sake of society. The politics is not republican, but statist: The state should regulate social behavior for the good of Society, rather than concentrate exclusively on protecting individual rights from aggression and fraud. I question the article's conclusions, because I reject the underlying philosophy.

Worse than that, it's downright incoherent in the way it entangles the concepts of "state" and "society" like the tentacles at an octopus orgy. I'm not sure whether this is an inadvertent result of sloppy thinking or a deliberate attempt to obfuscate advocacy of Platonic totalitarianism.

LOL! I guess every cloud can have a silver lining.

It is amazing how some people who claim to love our Republic have nothing but disdain for the moral traditions that not only allowed it to come into existence but to continue to exist until now. And the fools expect us to stand idly by while they destroy it all.

This looks to be a very good read, I have to save it until later :-(

Let me know if you want on or off this (very) busy ping list.

Clearly, you've made a logical error in equating society with the state and you attempt to use them as interchangeable concepts when they are, in fact, quite different.

The state is expected to support society and the moral traditions that allow it to exist. The left want the state to destroy those myriad aspects of the society that they do not like, never realizing they are opening the door to anarchy....with the exception of those who do realize it but are stupid enough to think this would be desirable.

Er, BurgessLau didn't write the article. Somebody named "John Mark Reynolds" did. Take it up with him.

Wonderful, thoughtful arguments.
Well-stated and classy.

"There is no societal good to be gained from approving actions that have no future."

"Unlike race or ethnicity, homosexuality is defined by a behavior or desire for a behavior. "

Like someone said on a recent thread (I'm so sorry not to rember who):

"Homosexuality is not a life style. It's a death style."
