No libertarian would use the word 'force' this way.
Hope the liberals really enjoy 'Humpback Hill' as another example of psychological decay with emphasis on them wanting people to accept perversion as OK.
In other words, the movie is homosexual propaganda.
It is a movie made by hetrophobes, those with irrational fears of normal people.
A libertarian complaining that people are exercising their free will to (a) not show the movie in their private theatres, and (b) not spend their personal money to see the movie. Yeah, sure Norm, you're a libertarian.
Also, what about their sympathy for pedophilia (practically a reproduction strategy for the homosexuals)? It's certainly a party that I wouldn't support.
Precisely. The occupation was picked for a reason.
I think another assault it makes is on the concept of non-sexual manly friendship-- it seems that male friends must equal homosexual relationship to the gay agenda.
"that sheepherders shouldn't be called cowboys."
I noticed that, too. I wonder if true cowboys are more upset that these sheep herders are called cowboys.
You nailed it! Exactly what I thought when the movie first came out. An attack on another "American" Cultural Icon!
"instead of living the lives God and nature gave them"
WTF? God doesn't make homos. Perverted lust makes homos.
They just wanted to do something shocking and weird that hasn't been done before, so they thought, "What are the two most opposite things in the world?" "Oh yea! A queer and a cowboy!" "Let's make a movie about queer cowboys and see how many people we can make angry."
The BBM film script is a typical scenario lifted from the ambiguous but elite liaisons seen at any Hollywood cocktail/cocaine party or production office, and re-written as a trailer trash gay-vindication romance. Of course Hollywood, et al, loves the film: it's their story.
"I think another assault it makes is on the concept of non-sexual manly friendship-- it seems that male friends must equal homosexual relationship to the gay agenda."
The disgusting hideousness of all this is that people are starting to equate "couples" with sex rather than friendship or even family relationships. My sister and her adult daughter were in at the Harborfront in Baltimore last year when some idiotic, had to be flaming liberal woman told them they made a "cute" couple.
Offensive? Absolutely!!
I'm not a LP member, but I seem to be having trouble finding this in their platform. Please point it out.
They believe in God when it is convenient.
Sodomy, pornography, open borders, drugs. That's Libertarianism in a nutshell.
As this is but a letter to the editor, it is inappropriate to be overly critical. Nevertheless, there are several things to bear in mind:
1. Some people who refer to themselves as libertarian do so only in the sense of sexual behavior, and not in the sense of the full range of behavior to include working, saving and investment, gun ownership, the free exercise of religion, etc. A true libertarian wants the government out of our pocketbook as well as out of our bedroom.
2. Some people who refer to themselves as libertarian want individuals to be free not only of coercive force but also to be free of social approbation. They refer to people who choose, in their free association with others, to enter into relationships only with people whose fundamental values they approve, as religious moralists, and describe their choices in denigrating ways. True libertarians who respect all peaceful choices made by people.
3. Some people who refer to themselves as libertarians believe that nobody should bear the consequences of their choices, so that individuals can behave in whatever reckless manner they might choose, such as promiscious homosexual sex, and expect somebody else to pick up the tab. True libertarians believe that we will only discover what is good in a dynamic, ever-changing world, by a process of trial and error. Virtuous behavior does not need to be subsidized. And, decent, hard-working people, who join into wholesome relationships with others, and especially such people who bring children into the world and raise them with such values, these people will prosper in a free society.
4. Some people who refer to themselves as libertarians believe that individuals are not constrained by their past commitments because - after all - we live in an imperfect world and we can always find a reason why our past commitments were not fully-informed. You cannot trust such people. True libertarians believe that we should always respect the person, the privacy and the property of others, and we should always, always keep our word.
5. Finally, if I might distinguish a Christian from a true libertarian, Christians must go beyond the basically negative constraints of libertarianism, and show loving-kindness toward others. As Jesus loved us while we were still sinners, a Christian must initiate generousity toward others, especially the poor, without expectation of reward.
