Before launching into his “research” on human sexuality, Dr. Alfred Kinsey was a confirmed atheist, eugenicist and evolutionist who believed that “religious-based,” “ancient taboos” were to blame for America’s supposedly repressive sexual attitudes and resulting social disorder. The unsuspecting victim of Kinsey’s sexual revolution bomb, America respected fatherhood, motherhood and marriage, and protected its children. Kinsey saw any sexual taboo as abnormal repression and set out, by using science, to break down those barriers to sexual “freedom.” He used and abused science much as the South Korean researcher Hwang did by claiming to have achieved human cloning.
Ideas and Their Consequences
Ideas always have consequences, and Dr. Kinsey’s ideas surely caused irreparable harm to men, women and families; but the worst harm has come to our children. Kinsey, through flawed interviewing techniques, skewed sampling, and abuse of children, “discovered” that children are sexual from birth, can give “consent” to sex, and are even “helped” by sexual encounters with adults. His findings changed laws concerning human sexuality and gave rise to unprecedented sexual “freedom.” To illustrate how far we have come: The Kansas Supreme Court recently opined that the state does not have an interest in legislating morality – including bestiality, polygamy, incest, etc. This came on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision stating that the right to privacy trumps sodomy laws. This is a far cry from the stringent laws in territorial Kansas and early statehood that protected women and children from rape, sodomy and incest. “We’ve come a long way, baby” means more than anyone at the dawn of the sexual revolution could have imagined.
Natural Law and Self-Deception
I recently read an interesting essay by J. Budziszewski exploring natural law and moral self-deception. Budziszewski teaches at the University of Texas in Austin and specializes in the relationship between ethical and political theory and Christian theology. The provocative title of his article, “Designed for Sex,” leads one to believe it will idealize sexual promiscuity. But his premise says that path has led us to self-annihilation. In his research, he came across a quote by Katie Roliphe in her book Last Night in Paradise, where she wonders what went wrong in our society: “It’s not the absence of rules exactly, the dizzying sense that we can do whatever we want; but the sudden realization that nothing we do matters.”
That statement bemuses Budziszewski; but the alarming self-destructive bent of our society, particularly among our youth who seemingly have all the freedom in the world, appalls him. While Kinsey promised fulfillment and pleasure, the sexual revolution brought a dulling of the sense of pleasure, of degrading the sex act. This led to a frenetic pursuit of bodily pleasure that has resulted in skyrocketing teen suicide, a sense of nihilism, drug and alcohol abuse, lifelong sexually transmitted diseases, abortion and its legacy, bulimia, anorexia, and on and on. Instead of sex being an act of giving, it has become an act of getting, using and sometimes abusing another person for self-gratification.
A Transaction
Evolutionist Kinsey has achieved his wish: Mankind has “devolved” to animalism. Mankind has rejected its creation in God’s image, designed to follow His purpose rather than self-fulfillment. In fact, Kinsey’s science combined with man’s own sinfulness has devalued God’s gift of procreation, the opportunity to participate in the creative process. Men and women are left with a void that can only be filled with more sensory pleasures. The sex act, Budziszewski says, has become for many of our youth a “transaction with their bodily parts,” costing the participants more than they ever thought they would have to pay.
Bonding Loses Out
The loss affects the family, children and our society as a whole. If the sex act becomes merely a contractual arrangement, what happens to the family? The bonding that occurs from an act of intimacy and mutual giving does not occur; intimacy and trust are lost. Our society’s children know that it is only by the grace of their parents they escaped abortion because choice now trumps commitment, self-sacrificing love and responsibility. Budziszewski says this produces immense anxiety in children … if they really think about it. (I can tell you from talking with kids from pro-choice homes in the crisis pregnancy center, they do wonder why they survived their parents’ often pragmatic decisions.)
A Manufacturing Process
What happens to the main purpose of sex – procreation? Inevitably it becomes a manufacturing process. Joining two persons to produce a new human being now can include deciding to end the child’s life or manipulating its genes to produce the perfect product.
A Chance to be Heard
Ideas do have consequences. When men and women start acting like animals, they become animals. God intended for us to be His ultimate creation … created in His image with the gift of procreation as an added bonus. If we reject that gift, we must be prepared to pay the cost.
And this is the sum total of everything the left is trying to force down our throats today.
DISCUSSION ABOUT:
"Kinsey’s Consequences: America has become the unsuspecting victim of his sexual revolution bomb"
This is an incredible explanation of Kinsey's negative effects on our culture.

Kinsey couldn't have done this without a lot of help from academics, the media, and other opinion leaders. Plus some of the foundations. The Rockefeller Foundation, in particular, has a long history of pushing eugenics, population control, and sexual perversion that goes back well before the "sexual revolution" burst on the scene.
My personal belief (after a lot of research) is that the main agenda driving the left is eugenics, everything else is just a smokescreen or a vehicle to promote eugenics.
Well, is animalism a true devolution, or is it an adaptation that fits the modern world more? Let's remember that an evolution doesn't have to be more advanced or admirable, but just better adapted for successful propagation in the current environment.
Perhaps also we can realize that many evolutionists recognize that interpersonal emotional attachments are part of the evolutionary package, not just physical animalistic and mechanical delivery of genetic material.
I don't know if anyone here saw the "American Experience" episode on Kinsey
(on PBS).
It was well-done and honest about how warped Kinsey and his crew really were.
The ironic thing is that Kinsey was apparently a Republican...
but ended up "involved" in his own research on various sexual practices.
His research did NOT reflect any sort of truthful image of how Americans "make whoopy".
Here's a link to the website for the show:

"My personal belief (after a lot of research) is that the main agenda
driving the left is eugenics"
IIRC, that's sort of the premise of this book:
"A Jealous God; Science War On Religion"
by Pamela Winnick
I heard here on BookTV (C-Span2 weekends). She talked about how
the US eugenics movement gave birth to a lot of today's "bioethics"
establishment.
Even though her criticisms are about recklessness in pursuing some
biotech cures, she said she's been targeted as a "fundamentalist Christian" luddite.
Even though she's Jewish.

You should take a look at this pro-eugenics website, it will scare the hell out of you.
http://www.eugenics.net/index.shtml
This site does a great job explaining the evils of eugenics.

Eugenics and Lebensraum. Some of the country clubbers and blue bloods hate the idea of all those peons swarming around, using up the land, crowding out animal species, producing global warming, spoiling their view, maybe making too much money and trying to join their country club.
But another element Kinsey appealed to was the desire for free sex of any kind without consequences. That's why they first legalized contraception and when that didn't do the job, abortion.
Oh, yes. And I remember reading an essay from a freshman English textbook by one of the founders of Planned Parenthood, I forget his name.
He was on a visit to India. He was standing on the street in one of the big cities there, maybe Calcutta, and all of a sudden he had a kind of negative religious experience. He was overwhelmed by all those brown people swarming around him. Then and there he seems to have resolved to spend the rest of his life eliminating third-world babies. Similarly, Margaret Sanger had a horror of blacks, and took considerable interest in the idea of exterminating most of them for eugenics purposes, since they were considered to be an inferior race.
When Hitler came along, it put some of that eugenics stuff on the back burner for a while, because he gave it a bad name with all that Master Race stuff. But by the 1950s it was alive again under different management, as an agenda of the left.
Much of this goes back to Darwin, of course.
Excellent article. Dr. Judith Reisman has written at least a couple of books revealing the disgusting truth about Kinsey. If anyone has a link, post it; I'll see if I can find one.
Here's Dr. Reismans' website:

Much of this goes back to Darwin, of course.
I think the eugenicists took the fallacies of Marx and Darwin and fused them into pure evil. Obviously after Hitler, they had to "disassociate" themselves from the term, but the agenda remained the same.
Thank you for your comments, they were absolutely perfect!
Thanks wagglebee. Something about heartfelt thoughts, they usually hit their mark :)
