Oh please....everyone knows that deeply held Christian beliefs ARE hate...
Once A&E gave GLAAD what they wanted, and suspended (fired) Phil Robertson, they immediately sent out a response effectively stating that any advertiser or company that uses Phil as a spokesperson must also distance themselves from him, ‘lest their silence be properly interpreted as agreement.’
Yep, freedom of speech - you’re free to make a speech saying what we want to hear, or we’ll rainbow flag you!
I honestly hope that both A&E and GLAAD get taken to the woodshed here.
In a democratic country, people have the right to be homophobic as well as they have the right to support homosexuality
Being a Professor obviously does not necessarily mean intelligence.
1. We do not live in a democratic country. We live in a Representatuive Republic.
2. This issue is not about homophobia. It is about the Word of God. About sin and immorality.
****people have the right to be homophobic****
She won’t truly be intellectually honest until she loses that stupid canard.
A big hug to another sober and sane human being in a drunk and insane world.
Camille Paglia is a cut above the average anti-intellectual Liberal, but the issue of this word - “homophobia” - needs to be addressed.
The suffix “-phobia” denotes an unreasoning fear.
For the vast majority of us our reaction to homosexuality is not unreasoned, nor is it fearful. It is simple revulsion and disgust, combined with the moral resolve that such acts are in their essence unnatural.
The canard of “phobia” has been perpetrated by the Left to control the debate where there should be no debate at all, by inferring that we are raving ninnies who are tantamount to those who (back in the 50s) saw Communists under the bed.
The irony being, of course, that those Communists were really there all along. They are out from under the bed now, holding positions of power in the media and Washington while the bed is being used by the faggots for their unnatural perversions.
Bump
...”Camille Paglia once again being intellectually honest. I’ve noticed on the pro Duck Dynasty Facebook pages quite a few people claiming to be homosexual, while disagreeing with his statements, actually supporting Phil Robinson’s right to state them. Most of them realize he was voicing his opinions based on his deeply held Christian beleifs, NOT out of hate..”...
The homosexual activists who are in the media, entertainment, the government and academia are tolerant only if you agree with and promote their lifestyle 100% of the time, no discussion allowed. Otherwise, they believe in fascism and censorship which we are seeing in the case of Phil Robertson. Now, we will see whether the 2% of the 2% of this American homosexual population will win a big one for fascism or whether freedom of speech for the 98% will prevail. A big thanks to Camille Paglia for her thoughts.
(I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.)
When I was young in the theater of NYC, gay men were incredibly knowledgeable and culturally aware. I’m thinking of the amazingly brilliant actor George Rose who was an expert on the history of theater. Today, almost all gay men in NYC are so culturally ignorant, it brings tears to my eyes. All they know is who is gay (Leonardo!) and who is not (Phil Robertson and those pretty, blond Mormons).
The closet had its values: these men had to find a way to express themselves in other ways than narcissistic behavior. Hence, they educated themselves in the arts. Some of them created the most beautiful Hollywood movies while hiding who they were. One day, we will again realize that limiting ourselves can bring about great creativity.
Cultural decadence accompanies the decline of civilizations. The American Experiment is too important in human history to let it slide into oblivion. Paglia understands that.
This is the new McCarthyism, coming from the left - and on steroids, because the original “McCarthyism” had legitimate issues and this is just wrong and a suppression of freedom of speech.
Phil is not a fool. He has been down the same road of sin. He knows gay people very well. His sin amongst gays is apostasy, not really his views.
There is no such thing as homophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. No one is afraid of homosexuals. People are merely disgusted by them.
You see this all the time with thoughtful homosexuals. They fear backlash that will result with the GLBT agenda being forced on people. They would rather have a discussion and leave each other alone.
Camille Paglia is the only current leftist I know of who seems to show any classic liberal tendencies, i.e., she may not agree with what someone says but she’ll find for that person’s right to say it.
