I direct your attention to Buchanan’s closing line:
“Historically, from the late Roman Empire to Weimar, flagrant homosexuality has been associated with sick societies, decadent cultures and dying civilizations. Today would appear to be no exception.”
That’s it. Conclusion, we’re sick, decadent, dying.
Not a peep about what we might actually DO about this. He and all the others, and apparently all of us, too, are keyboarding diagnosticians. We recognize the problem, but we don’t advocate doing anything to fix it, or if we advocate, we do it meekly behind the keyboard.
And Buchanan won’t even say this judge ought to be removed. Not by any means. Impeachment proceedings? Tar and feathers? Anything? No. Not even, “he needs to be gone.” Nah, we’ll just wait for the appeal, and when they agree with him we’ll wait for the next appeal and when they 5-4 it we’ll just have to accept it. And we will accept it.
If we were not going to accept it ultimately, we would not accept it now.
The vote in California did not express the will of the people. It expressed their opinion. A mere show of hands, smooth, delicate, empty hands, without authority. Like Pat’s.
When Pat started typing, you needed at least a little force to type the P’s and the Q’s. But that was a long time ago...when men mostly left the typewriting to women...when men defended their liberty instead of whining, waiting, and wringing their impotent hands.
Buchanan’s closing is definitive. But did I say his conclusion is that we’re sick, decadent, dying? Correction! He could not even be that direct. He wrote that flagrant homosexuality is ASSOCIATED with dying societies, and it would APPEAR we are no exception. Even his diagnosis is weasel-worded.
And we keyboarders take it like it’s a pep talk. You tell ‘em Pat!! Go Pat!! Right on!! That’ll show them nancy boys who they’re dealing with!!
Indeed it shows, like a show of hands in California.
You aren’t trying to run cover for Glenn Beck, are you?
Buchanan has said and done more than the faux-cons who have ignored the issue....some, like Beck, beginning to wonder if he is really....
What would you propose we do? If voting, contributing, pounding the pavement, writing/calling our representatives isn’t enough, are you talking about armed revolt? Or “shrugging?”
