Find Out Why They Spat at Our Flag
TFP Student Action ^ | 05-07-04 | James Bascom

Posted on 05/07/2004 3:17:29 PM PDT by concernedAmerican1

On Monday, April 22, nine members of TFP Student Action traveled to the College Park campus of the University of Maryland to collect surveys and pass out flyers in defense of traditional marriage.

In 4 hours, Student Action collected more than 150 surveys, asking the opinion of students on homosexual “marriage,” and passed out nearly 2,000 “Stop Same-Sex Marriage” flyers. These flyers refute the scientific arguments used by the homosexual movement to push their agenda.

Radical Moral Relativism

Perhaps the most striking and pervasive aspect of those on campus in favor of same-sex “marriage” was their radical moral relativism. According to liberal students, traditional morality, which opposes sodomy, is an arbitrary tradition forcibly imposed on people through indoctrination of the youth and “social conditioning,” always to society’s own detriment, of course.

“Being anti-gay is your truth. We all have different, evolving concepts of truth. Truth is relative,” one woman said to Student Action volunteer Daniel Pribble, who replied: “Is that absolutely true?”

However, apparently all moral relativism vanished when TFP’s demonstration began. With its characteristic large American flag and red banner, TFP presence immediately divided the ideological waters on campus. Those in favor of moral absolutes waved in support, while those against it vehemently expressed their hatred.

Keeping “Tolerance” Alive

Within an hour after the start of the campaign, a small counter-demonstration formed. This is not surprising since TFP’s table was flanked by five other tables manned by Bush-haters, feminists, pro-abortionists, atheists and homosexual activists. Not able to argue rationally, pro-homosexual demonstrators made fast allies with these other tables and resorted to insults and emotional non-arguments, holding signs that read, “Go Home Nervous White Men” and “Gay is OK.” One counter-demonstrator walked up to TFP’s American flag and spit at ground in front of it. Others said “Go away, Crusaders!”

However, many students expressed their utmost support for traditional marriage. One young man said to Student Action volunteer Cesar Franco. “I’m grateful someone finally came out to fight this filth that is being shoved down our throats.” Another person said: “These guys [the homosexual activists] want you to believe that everyone is in favor or at least not against homosexual ‘marriage.’ Just you being here dispels that myth.”

This TFP campaign more than anything seemed to illustrate the fact that our nation, especially on this volatile issue, is as divided as ever. Homosexual vice is an affront to God, morality, and the family. Remaining in the middle of the road is virtually impossible. The good must stand up and defend God’s law.

Refresh my memory. What is TFP?

I never bought the genetic explanation for homosexuality. Coach Johnson, my high school biology teacher, taught us that you're not likely to have any children if your parents didn't.

But the other night on talk radio I heard an interesting biological theory. It seems that women have something called microchrondia (thanks spell check) that only pass from mom to daughter, not father to son. I don't think coach Johnson knew about them. But these little critters don't like men. That's why most early miscarriages are males. They do something to make males gay. That's why gay males have far more aunts than uncles.

As illogical as the genetic theory seems, it seems even more impossible that any man would willingly prefer men to women.

Ummmmmm....

That's mitochondria, and they are passed to male and female offspring equally from the mother. They are present in the egg, and the sperm doesn't have any.

They are the cells' powerplants and are not related to miscarriage or behavior.

One of those Evolutionists. That's why I would never let my children attend public schools.

Well isn't there something only passed from mom to daughter? I seem to remember some documentary about that being the way they trace migrations of races.

Common sense.

Well that explains why gays are gay.

Mitochondrial DNA (about 15% of your genome) is not just passed from mothers to daughters. It's passed from mother to all of her offspring, the father has nothing to do with this.

You see, mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) can replicate indepentently of the cell because they have their own DNA.

All cells have mitochondria except sperm cells. (If you'd like more info on this freepmail me, I did research for a paper on this recently) What's interesting is that your mitochondria is your mothers, and her's is her mother's. But, and I assume you are male, your children have their mother's mitochondria. It's extremely fascinating.

But I don't buy the theory that these critters don't like men. Had you no mitochondria, you wouldn't be alive to write that post.

I believe that mitochondrial DNA proved that that gal that was in the news not too long ago was a direct decendant from Thomas' Jefferson's affair with a slave girl.

yes, they have used mitochondrial DNA to trace race migration.

It's an extremely fascinating field of microbiology.

Well, you're almost there. Mitochondrial DNA is used to trace human migrations, but not exactly because it's "only passed from mom to daughter". It's passed from mom to daughter and/or son but it's *entirely* from the mother, none is contributed by the father.

So you sort of have it backwards -- it's not that it's passed only to daughters (it's not); the key point is that it's inherited only from mothers. So it's a lot easier to find undisturbed ancestral DNA markers from your mother's mother's mother's [...] mother, than it is to do similar traces with cellular DNA (because that keeps getting mixed and reshuffled every generation with 50/50 contributions from both maternal and paternal lines).

One of those Evolutionists.

Why, do non-evolutionists believe the opposite conclusion?

That's why I would never let my children attend public schools.

Yes, heaven forbid they should attain better reading comprehension levels than yourself.

The mitochondria DNA is only passed by the mother to her offspring. The mitochondria from the sperm is the propellant and is not absorbed into the ovum. The family line can be genetically traced more thoroughly through the female line not the male line.

Or one of his nephews. That's the problem when trying to trace strictly through the male DNA.

So I suppose infertility can't be genetic either, then?

I believe the finding was that she was decended from A Jefferson amongst a possible group of men, Thomas included, and several other males members of the family around the Virginia area.

nothing "makes" a male gay. 90% are raped or seduced in a moment of weakness or confusion. and then the Brainwashing and Lies begin. Thats why Homosexuals need to program children today to be more "open" to the Homo lifestyle.
They are complete hipocrites! They always say that they are born that way, and then say to anyone who is revolted by the idea, to "Try it, you might like it". according to them
you are born that way, so how could you try it ? and if you can try it and like it, then you can also revert back to normal sexuality and be straight again. But no they dont agree with that.!! any Gay who gets straight ( and there are
many) they say they are just denying what they really are!
Maybe they just detoxed on sin, and they want to start living again.

"Try it, you might like it".

I've been told that if the first thing you do in the morning is eat a live toad, nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day. I'd sooner try the toad thing than being gay.
