Why Not "Fat" Pride??
Sierra Times ^ | Mar. 4, 2005 | Linda Kimball

Posted on 03/03/2005 3:08:06 AM PST by Lindykim

"Orientation is not a rational idea, but is part of the tyranny of wishful thinking that inevitably accompanies the decay of reason......anyone who resists the hysteria of orientation is immediately stigmatized as a racist, bigot, or homophobe. In this way the nonsense of 'orientation' is promoted and truth suppressed." ~~Phillip Atkinson

Although no shots are being fired, a fierce war is nonetheless being waged on American soil. The combatants are 'traditional values" Americans fighting for 'God, country, and apple pie" versus screaming harpy "it's all about our feelings" neo-Marxists .

Front and center on the Marxist battlefront are loudmouthed homosexual 'emotional tyrants' who are trying to force Americans to accept that what homosexuals do sexually denotes some sort of bizarre new race, species of man, or equally bizarre condition called 'transmasculine or transfemale" and by virtue of these things their demand is that they should be awarded rights and privileges over and above those which the rest of us have per the Constitution.

Homosexual radicals have purposely kept Americans in a state of emotional uproar. This is because emotions cloud our brains and keep us from clear and rational thinking. If it's one thing they don't want us to do, it's to think clearly with regards to homosexuality since what we would inevitably discover would absolutely disgust and horrify us and that would mean the death of the ' gay liberation' movement.

When an issue becomes so clouded over by emotion that it can't be discussed rationally, it ofttimes helps to clear the air by reframing the matter. Upon pondering the affair, I saw that it could be reframed as a 'fatness' issue. After all, eating food and engaging in sex are both biological functions. Both are necessary to the survival of humanity in that the former enables the body to survive and the latter enables man to procreate so as to keep our species alive. Both functions are enjoyable and cause a sense of emotional well-being as long as they are kept within natural boundaries. The flip side is that both functions can become a source of pathology, disease, and misery when taken outside of their boundaries. Finally, as with homosexuality, obesity has been around for as long as mankind can remember.

So what if overweight people decided to do as homosexuals have done and organized themselves into radicalized activist groups to demand 'civil rights," and 'equality"? Overweight people could make a substantial case for themselves using the ridiculous rationalizations being employed by homosexuals.

As homosexuals have done, fat people could claim that being overweight must be innate; that doubtless there is an 'obesity' gene. Fat individuals could evoke sympathy and understanding by mournfully testifying that, " Around the age of 4 I knew I was different from everyone else; I was already attracted to eating oversized portions." Through the use of carefully staged innuendo, fat people could then slyly bracket their 'fatness pride and civil rights' movement to the black civil rights movement with the insinuation being that fatness is some sort of race or species of mankind. They could point to examples of how society has stigmatized and hurt them with names like 'fatso', 'lard-butt, etc. They could claim that fat people are discriminated against by pointing to average-sized doorways, bathroom facilities and chairs not sized large enough to accommodate their girth; beauty pageants and swimsuit editions that don't include fat females; and so on. Once they had achieved their goal of clouding the air with overwrought emotionalism, and thereby causing society to succumb to feelings of guilt and shame, they could then begin manipulating society into "atoning for its sins" exactly as homosexuals have done and continue to do.

As atonement, they could demand that society view fatness as something to be 'proud' of. They could begin marching in 'Corpulence Pride Parades" and hold 3-day "Porky Pride Fests" around the nation and in our capitol. As part of their demands for inclusiveness and cultural diversity they could demand that mandatory "Corpulence As An Alternative Lifestyle" sensitivity training classes be conducted by businesses and corporations. And how about if they demanded access to the schools? They could set up "safe areas" designated by triangular dinner gongs; create "Parents and Friends of Lard-Butts" (PFLAB) clubs in every school for overweight and 'questioning' kids; hold "Gorging As A Pleasurable Pastime" outreach programs; and make it a hate crime to say words like 'fat, large, thin, slim, pig, big, gargantuan, stout, etc." Imagine MTV conditioning kids with 'fat is beautiful, normal, and healthy" programming".'

Here's how the Massachusetts. Episcopal Divinity School propaganda campaign on behalf of 'transgender' currently reads:

(quote)"While dominant society has embraced a binary gender system (male-female), Ms. Mouse believes this is only a construction. Gender is a fluid and mutable category, open to a range of emotion and identity. We cross the boundaries of the traditional binary gender system all the time in our daily lives. In short, Ms. Mouse is a transgendered mouse. She believes that what you look like to others doesn't matter, it's how you identify that counts." - "Chapelle (nee Chap) Mouse" - a transgendered puppet used to promote chapel activities at Episcopal Divinity School (Cambridge, MA). Ms. Mouse "came out" in a column in Common Fare: The Newsletter of the Episcopal Divinity School, where he/she was promoting the upcoming Queer Week at the school." (end quote)

Here's how it would read on behalf of Fat Pride:

(quote) "While dominant society has embraced a "trim and fit" body type system, Ms. Mouse believes this is only a construction. Body size is a fluid and mutable category, open to a range of emotion and identity. We cross the boundaries of the traditional body size system all the time in our daily lives. In short, Ms. Mouse is a transfat mouse. She believes that what you look like to others doesn't matter, it's how you identify that counts." - "Chapelle (nee Chap) Mouse" - a transporker puppet used to promote chapel activities at Episcopal Divinity School (Cambridge, MA). Ms. Mouse "came out" of the larder in a column in Common Fare: The Newsletter of the Episcopal Divinity School, where he/she was promoting the upcoming Porky Pride Week at the school." (end quote)

Reframed and rephrased as 'fat pride', "gay" pride can be seen as the dangerous lunacy it really is. And hate-America deconstructionists are using this insanity as a sledge hammer to destroy the health and sanity of children as well as to destroy everything good, normal, healthy, and decent about our society.

I imagine that among those of you who are reading these words that there are some who are suffering from being overweight; some who suffer from a drinking problem; some who are suffering from drugs, smoking, or gambling. Some one very close to me suffered throughout her adult life from obesity. I witnessed her struggles and saw her misery and felt great compassion for her. The point I'm driving at is this everyone of you who are good decent, ethical people but who nevertheless, fell into the clutches of some sort of addictive or otherwise problematical behavior would never in your worst moments, wish that someone else would become afflicted by what afflicts you. Fundamentally, that's a form of "ill-wishing" and good people simply don't wish ill upon other people. So ask yourselves why, if you would never ill-wish your afflictions on someone else, why homosexuals are being allowed to in effect, ill-wish their pathologically induced self-destructive, unnatural afflictions upon America's children and America in general?

Homosexuality is a dangerous, disease-ridden, drug and alcohol addicted lifestyle with high suicide rates. Why has an exception been made for them in order that they may psychologically mess with the young minds of children and seduce them into accepting homosexuality as 'normal and healthy'? Homosexual radicals are being given free rein to lie to our children. Any children who succumb to their lies are literally being condemned to a lifetime of suffering from the same mentally debilitating and physically destructive conditions as do homosexuals.

Christ taught that the true meaning of love is to sacrifice oneself for the good of others. That is agape. What the culture of death Left requires of us and our children is that we must all be sacrificed upon the altars of their egotistical desires and demands.

Some school children have been asked: if you've never tried homosexuality, how do you know you wouldn't like it?

Have you ever tried eating dog sh!*?

Shalom.

Maybe because "We're Here, We're Fat, Get Used To It" doesn't have the same ring.

The official motto of the Bigot and Redneck Alliance against Discrimination (BRAAD) is "We're here, we're intolerant, and we'll kick your a$$."

The discovery of the intolerance gene was made by Billy Bob Marsten and his son/brother Bubba Marsten and published in the "Journal of Stuff you Didn't Want to Know" after being peer reviewed by the entire population of Wabash County, Arkansas so we know it's genetic. Intolerant people everywhere are encouraged to stand up for their rights.

Shalom.

"We're here and we're queer!"

"Oh yeah? ... We're fat and that's where it's at!"

"Well, oh my! I'm out of the closet."

"Oh yeah? I'm out of the hanger!"

"Well, well ... you don't have aids."

"Who needs em? I eat my whoppers on my own."

My sister suffered from obesity her entire life. Must have been her metabolism, because most in our family are of normal weight. She wasn't an over-eater, at any given time I could eat her under the table.

She finally opted to have gastric-bypass surgery, and has suffered some complications. She's doing well now, but not without paying a price.

She has said for years that obesity is the last acceptable prejudice. The stares, the jokes...it took a toll on her.

Sad to know that homosexuality is more accepted these days then those with a weight problem.

Speaking as a happy (and happily married) size 14, can we all agree that "fat" is not the same as "non anorexic"?

I'm for fat pride. I'm very serious. I was never morbidly obese, but maybe a size 14-16 and believe me when I read 'Invisible Man' I knew what it felt it for people (especially men) to act as if I wasn't there.

Most of the people in Wabash County have never been to the Amazon but they liked the way J Lo shook her stuff in "Anaconda."

Anyway, there was a copy over at the drugstore, but I checked after work today and it was gone. I'm not sure anyone actually reads it, but the Millers needed something for their outhouse.

Shalom.

I miss 'em too, but it's JimRob's house so ...

Tomorrow I'll try to remember to ping you to the Official Friday Silliness Thread. It's not BRAAD, but it's OK.

Shalom.

Thanks. I will probably update it to be slightly more offensive but no less direct in another week or so.

How are ya????

'Bout the same. Intolerant as ever. Great to see you and Stix again. Wish I had saved the entire ping list. BRAAD is good.

It was exciting to read my old approach in the article - even if they used fatties instead of rednecks.

How have you been? Shalom.

That being said, I think it is entirely fair game to raise the legitimate health hazards of any practice...

If only all freepers felt the same way... because to some, it's hateful to list the severe health hazards of the homosexual lifestyle.

Scripter, you know I love you, man, but the issue isn't that homosexual behavior is hazardous to your health. Around here driving in 2 inches of snow is hazardous to your health but we all do it and it's perfectly acceptable.

The problem with homosexual behavior is that it's sick and people who engage in it have twisted minds. Their efforts to teach us that human beings should do what they do makes as much sense as teaching us that human beings should suck up their urine and spit it at people like the chimpanzees do at the zoo.

Even if there were no health hazards it would still need stopping.

But I know you know that. Sometimes I get tired of pretending that the biggest problem with homosexual behavior isn't that only sickos would want to engage in it.

Shalom.
