Howzabout "The Hamster Trail"?
"Another tactic, along the lines of being everywhere is for the activists to accuse (once again) anybody who questions them as being closet homosexuals.
Based upon this eminently sound logic, Free Republic posters must be closet liberals!"
Such logic is fellatious.
Poor Democrat Underground inhabitants (yes you DUers, we know you're watching). They're just closet conservatives.
There was a place by the Hudson a few years back called the "Ram Rod."
It's also the work of cunning linguists.
Quoting a line from one of James Bond movies, don't we?
Your post hits home with me. My best friend is a 30-ish, alarmingly attractive, lesbian. The thing is, to talk with her, to see her, to work with here - you'd never know she was gay.
I knew her for a few years before she told me - and this was after we'd become very close friends. She doesn't CARE if someone knows, she just doesn't flaunt it in any way - and she has little patience or tolerance for the radicals. She works as a GOP operative in politics and, in many ways, is one of the most modest and normal people I know.
Homosexism PING!
"There was a place by the Hudson a few years back called the "Ram Rod."
There's a place in Minneapolis called, and I think this is perfect, "Odd Fellows."
So that's where the phrase was introduced. I learned about the phrase in college. An intramural softball team used it for its team name.
The way I see it is, They are dishonest and manipulative, The term "homophobe" is a rhetorical weapon and they utilize this absurd label to villanize all opposers of their perverse way of life, IMO they are exploiting a tried and true psychological warfare tactic, Be advised they will indoctrinate children to believe that being a "homophobe" is akin to racial prejudice and bigotry, The truth of the matter is moral discrimination is justifiable, otherwise it would be a crime to come to a moral judgment, and there would cease to be any difference between right and wrong.
However, for more than a decade, little did I know that Bloom himself was homosexual, and I believed he died from AIDS. At least that's the impression I got from a novella/biography about him by Saul Bellow, called Ravelstein.
I agree. I think it's a vile act, and what's wrong with that?

...another good one by Bernard. His style and wit are great. His explanations of propaganda tactics, "bandwagon" approach and all, are a must-read.
I agree. They want nothing to do with the radicals, but the radicals want EVERYTHING to do with THEM. They have taken over and have maintained their stranglehold over the "moderates." They do this through a whole barrage of time-perfected techniques, including intimidation, propaganda, brainwashing, shakedown, appealing to "tolerance" and the "better instincts of better people everywhere," and shrewd use of words such as "enlightened" and "progressive." All the while they become more and more blatantly outrageous and disgusting in their public manifestations, pushing the limits of what they subsume under the umbrella of "free speech," and defy the body politic to "repress" them.
So what exactly ARE we (in relation to them) if we neither hate them or fear them, but clearly see them as different and, to various degrees, what they do as disgusting and gross? A one-word label. What would it be?
Well, My choice would be "Moralistic" there are others: conscientious, decent, honorable, principled, scrupulous, respectable, virtuous, etc. etc.
I had no idea about Allan Bloom's manner of death. He was quite the social commentator in his day, to be sure. Not trying to be funny or flip, but do you think he was self-loathing? I've never read "Closing of the American Mind." Did Bloom just bash the radical gays, or did he bash homosexuality in general?
My friend has gay friends - and straight friends, male and female from both groups. A few of her gay friends are more "agenda" types - and she occasionally b*tches to me about them. She doesn't care who's straight, gay, or in-between - and has real trouble understanding why anyone else cares or insists on flashing "preference credentials."
She is truly one who believes in a live and let live philosophy - except when it comes to Democrats: Them, she bashes at every step.
