In May 2012, Vice President Joe Biden floated a political trial balloon: He came out in favor of same-sex marriage. In the process, he stated that the way had been paved for the same-sex marriage movement by Hollywood. "I think 'Will & Grace' probably did more to educate the American public than almost anything anybody's ever done so far." Biden, of course, was absolutely right: Hollywood's personalization of the societal issue of same-sex marriage has shifted millions of minds.
Now, unfortunately for same-sex marriage advocates, Hollywood is busily shifting those minds back.
On Sunday, the Grammys tooted its self-proclaimed righteousness by trotting out Queen Latifah to officiate the mass wedding of 33 couples, including gay couples. She did so as new Grammy winner Macklemore shouted cloyingly sanctimonious antireligious slogans into his microphone: "The right-wing conservatives think it's a decision / And you can be cured with some treatment and religion ... Playing God, aw nah, here we go / America the brave still fears what we don't know / And God loves all his children is somehow forgotten / But we paraphrase a book written 3,500 years ago." To top off the marriages, Madonna then staggered out to warble "Open Your Heart."
This wasn't an argument for same-sex marriage. It wasn't even attractive image-making on behalf of same-sex marriage. It was hatred of Biblical values cloaked in pietistic nonsense.
Begin with the marriages themselves. The only rationale for getting married on the Grammys en masse would be either attention-seeking or spite toward Americans with traditional values, or both. Neither of these rationales scream "love," "commitment" or "societal building block."
Move on to the cheering audience -- a group of anti-marriage Hollywoodites who largely see the institution itself as patriarchal. The same folks standing up for same-sex marriage at the Grammys largely scorn the institution of marriage itself. The only time they embrace marriage is when it is being mocked, undermined or perverted. That's not a cuddly case for same-sex marriage.
Finally, look at the artists: Macklemore, who rages against religious Americans for cash and Grammys; Madonna, who is happy to glom onto the marriage bandwagon after selling her body for decades, and running through a raft of unsuccessful marriages and relationships of her own; Queen Latifah, acting as a stand-in for the government, offering up salvation via paper licenses from the state. None of this warms hearts or changes minds.
But this is Hollywood unmasked: angry, vindictive, self-righteous, anti-Biblical. The case for same-sex marriage rests on an application of Biblical principle -- monogamy and commitment -- to actions condemned by Biblical text. For years, Hollywood was able to get away with perverting the Bible by ignoring it. But in its rush to congratulate itself for overthrowing Biblical values without a shot, Hollywood spiked the football and revealed its true agenda. And that agenda is not the agenda of tolerance for individuals, but an ugly agenda of unearned moral superiority via destruction of traditional values.
All leftist ideas are like rust. Only proper vigilance will prevent it’s spread.

BINGO!

I literally vomit when I see children taken to events like that pictured above. Freakin’ sick.
And how do they know God loves all his children? Because the Bible says so. They can't pick and choose from the Bible. If they choose to believe the parts that say God loves us, then they also should believe the parts about homosexuality being an abomination and those who practice it being damned.
Some of these homosexual pride parades and events are being marketed as family friendly. They advertise and tell us all to bring the family, children’s events are scheduled, etc.
Of course, we will be called homophobic and worse to say anything.
But I’ve noticed that media cheerfully report on homosexual pride events nowadays, with the same cheer on which they report on the 4th of July or New Years Eve or county fairs. I assume that it is homophobic not to grant positive coverage to homosexual themed events.
“Now, unfortunately for same-sex marriage advocates, Hollywood is busily shifting those minds back.”
Having a mass ‘gay marriage’ is somehow a homo bridge too far for those people whose discernment is already so bad already that they voluntarily subject themselves to the absolute dog squeeze of the Grammy awards show? I don’t know, I find that hard to believe.

***Some of these homosexual pride parades and events are being marketed as family friendly.***
Yet they end up being displays of overt exhibitionism.
I think Queen Latifa is a closet lesbian and has a long time partner. But, she plays a lot of romantic roles, so it is kept hush-hush, so she can keep her fan base.

Not that anyone at that event cares, but we are actually born apart from God, and are referred to as children of Satan,m John 8:31-44. Only those who believe on the name of Jesus are given the right to be called "Sons of God" John 1:12.
People love to claim we should be who God made us to be. However, they forget God only made 1 person, Adam, and only begot 1, Jesus. We were born of our parents, and of the husbands will. We are sinful, because we are born into it, and can only be God's child if we are born again, John 3:3.
Instead of investing in the future of our country, we're too busy investing for the end of this quarter. Instead of taking definite steps to fix our problems, we're too busy blowing a lot of hot air, bitching about the Grammies. Instead of fighting back, we're throwing our arms up in the air and surrendering like a bunch of limp-wristed Frenchies. Is there not an ounce of fight left in us?
Music, movies, video games, professional sports, TV shows are powerful weapons with which the Left is killing us. Why did we allow "Will and Grace" to go unanswered? Why do we allow Jay Z, et al, to spew their un-American bullshi'ite unchallenged? Why do we let Jon Stewart and Bill Maher get away with their crap, and not do anything to deprogram the 20/30/40-something skulls full of mush that watch them? Unless we start doing something meaningful -- and right the f**k now -- the picture above is our future, only it'll be much, much worse.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
It was hip to praise the perverts until it just got old and really, really, annoying and people started shooting.
This will probably be the way history records these moments in popular culture.
I wonder if she will be playing in more com-roms. Now that she has made a mockery of marriage and played up her collective values, I am not inclined to see her “feel good” movies. Thanks for the heads-up.
And who was it that made Eve?
Conservatives don't have the money
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
You think Koch brothers are “conservative” in the way we men it? Probably about as conservative as the Chamber of Commerce which is at war with the TEA Party
