If you are not totally on board with absolutely every tiny point of (Insert Liberal Cause Here)-dogma, then you are a sick, poisonous bag of cruelty and evil, who must be destroyed. That's what ideologues are like; that's the totalitarian mindset.

[Cicero]

Brilliantly written. This will produce a very large number of letters to the editor indeed.

Derbyshire bump.

He could write about rocks and I'd still enjoy it.

The doctor says $50, and $500. The woman takes out her checkbook.

Something like this has already happened with deafness, and deaf people are resisting the universal treatment of childhood deafness with cochlear implants (the same gadgets that allow Rush to continue his show).

"mild, tolerant homophobe" bump

Great story by John Derbyshire, as usual.

He's a mathematician by education and a successful, self-taught writer -- author of "Prime Obsession", a book on the search for prime numbers. He's written a novel, a poetry book, and many, many articles.

I do not subscribe to the fashionable belief that human beings suddenly got much smarter and more moral around 1965, and that everyone who lived prior to that date was a benighted ignoramus. There are plenty of people long dead who seem to me to have been very smart indeed — much smarter than I, in many cases. It is even possible that one or two of them may have been smarter than the editorialists at the New York Times. I don't know, I don't say this necessarily was so, only that I wouldn't altogether rule it out.

Exactly.

What We Can Do To Help Defeat the "Gay" Agenda

Homosexual Agenda: Categorical Index of Links (Version 1.1)

Myth and Reality about Homosexuality--Sexual Orientation Section, Guide to Family Issues"

[ArGee]

Thus we began by attempting to right what was felt an ancient injustice and we ended with a monster in our midst, powerful and clamouring, flexing its muscles, threatening, vengeful and vindictive towards anyone who challenges its outrageous claims, and bent on making fundamental — and to most of us horrifying — changes to civilized patterns of sexual behaviour.

We think we know so much. Yet, every time we turn around we keep discovering that G-d knows so much more.

Shalom.

Ten Things That Would Be Different If The 12 Apostles Had Been Gay

10. The Last Supper would have been brunch.

09. The Beatitudes would start, "Fabulous are they....."

08. Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem screams for a production number with lots of ostrich feather palm fronds and a large oyster shell, instead of just a donkey and some palm leaves.

07. The water at the wedding feast of Canaan would not have been changed to wine, but to extra dry Bombay Sapphire martinis with a touch of Curacao for color.

06. The temple would not only have been cleansed of money changers, but redecorated as well.

05. Mary's hair would have been flawless.

04. The Gospels would be Matthew, Mark, Lance and Bruce.

03. Priests would have torrid affairs with altar boys......wait. Never mind.

02. Jesus would never wear white after Labor Day.

01.The Sermon on the Mount would have been a musical.

Good article by Derbyshire, as usual. Guy's got a nice butt, too...

[TexasCajun]

Yes, I agree.

I'm a homophobe and was born that way, it's part of my genetics.
Please be tolerant and loving, can't we all just get along?

[jcb8199]

AWESOME!!!

[jcb8199]

I like the argument that can be made from the anecdote about the pregnant woman--would a Lefty, who support both gays and abortion, support an abortion if the woman didn't want her child to be gay?

[bigeasy_70118]

Homophobic??? Hell I ain't afraid of 'em. I just don't like 'em.

About 3.9 percent of all men between the ages of 40 to 49 years have HIV infection or AIDS.

This suggests that nearly all men with SSAD between the ages of 40-49 are infected with HIV/AIDS.

Homosexual Agenda Ping - Another Cheering Article - read every word, you'll be glad you did.

I particularly liked this part:

"Anyone who does not give whole-hearted, roaring approval to the entire homo-agenda must, must, be tarred as a stump-toothed knuckle-dragging primitive, probably afflicted with grave psychiatric problems and hopelessly out of touch with the zeitgeist. If you are not totally on board with absolutely every tiny point of homo-dogma, then you are a sick, poisonous bag of cruelty and evil, who must be destroyed."

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Noel Coward was a positive queer role model.

Besides making us laugh, he actually undertook serious secret missions during WWII.

Standards must be maintained, surely!

[HungarianGypsy]

Why are we always called homophobic? I don't fear, homosexuals. I just believe there is a huge difference between tolerance and acceptance. It seems we are supposed to accept and even embrace the homosexual agenda.
