The Marquis de Sade: The Left’s Man of Diverse ‘Sexual Orientations’
Sunday, March 05, 2006
America is undergoing an extreme makeover and the wrecking crews are Leftists. They believe that everything about our civilization is an illusion—including our created condition as either man or woman. In other words, because they do not believe that God exists or the Bible is true, our civilization and condition are merely social constructs. To the wreckers we are but plastic figures that can be melted down and remolded. The wrecking crews conceal their insane ambitions behind deceptive code words such as diversity, multiculturalism, sensitivity, sexual orientation, safe schools, choice, and sex education.
America’s Left is comprised of two sorts of people: those willing to engage in evil and those who are willing to aid and abet it. In the words of David Horowitz: “Socialist economics, critical theory, and progressive loyalties have produced the worst atrocities, the most horrific suffering, the most crushing oppression, and the greatest misery in all human history. But not for a moment…since the fall of the Berlin Wall, has the Left begun to face its failure, or confront its deeds. It has simply moved to another trench in its permanent war against the West…it has degenerated from a Stalinist universalism to a neo-fascist tribalism, which is what multiculturalism is really about.” (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up From Multiculturalism Jan. 1998).
Identity politics is the bastard child of multiculturalism. In short, it’s the process by which politically empowered ‘tribes’ are created. Its working principal can be boiled down to “God is dead therefore we are at liberty to self-actualize as we please.” ‘Tribes,’ be they witches, vampires, goddesses, Islamic radicals, illegal aliens, or the ‘sexually oriented’ variety, are not just autonomous but off-limits to outside criticism. Each ‘tribe’ establishes a ‘cultural narrative’ and then defines the ‘rules of authenticity.” This is multiculturalism in a nutshell. Multicultural tribes are politically sacrosanct. They are weapons of mass destruction being wielded by the Left in its war against our traditional culture and infrastructure.
When we consider the Left’s great heroes are murderous barbarians such as Pol Pot, Kim Jung II, Fidel Castro, Lenin, Stalin, and Sadam Hussein it comes as no surprise that the foul pervert and murderer—the Marquis de Sade—is likewise one of the Left’s heroic icons. Sade, role model for the ‘sexual orientation’ tribes, is celebrated by the Left as a “heroic apostle of individual rights, a giant of philosophical thought, and a martyr for freedom of conscience.” (Sade, a Biographical Essay, by Lawrence Bongie, 2000)
In a 1951 essay, “Must We Burn Sade,” Simone de Beauvoir (heroine of the man-hating lesbian feminists) identifies Sade as a forerunner of Freud with an intuitive grasp of the nature of the human heart. Beauvoir, a sex-obsessed lesbian, wrote: “Not only does Sade…anticipate…the ‘pansexuality’ of Freud, but he also makes eroticism the mainspring of human behavior…He knew that the ‘perversions’ that are vulgarly regarded as moral monstrosities or psychological defects actually envelop…intentionality. In a passage in ‘La Nouvelle Justine’ he tries to explain coprophillia (sexual excitement over feces)…he points out that the truth of a thing lies not in what it is but in the meaning it has taken on for us in the course of our individual experience. Intuitions such as these allow us to hail Sade as a precursor of psychoanalysis” (www.crimelibrary.com).
In the dialectical jargon of Stalinist ‘identity politics,’ Sade was a man of diverse ‘sexual orientations” (tribal identities) which birthed his many ‘alternative lifestyle choices’ (authentic cultural narratives).
Douglas Lynott not only provides us with an idea of Sade’s sexual orientations, but also, especially within the last half, the depths of evil which motivate the Left: “Assisted by his wife, two other young adult women…and his valet, Sade assembled his captives daily for a mélange of activities: masturbation, fellatio, sodomy (both heterosexual and homosexual), sodomy chains, and…scourging. The very acts that cause…people of reason and morals to recoil in terror provided the Marquis with sensations of ecstasy: the physical and emotional domination of another and the violent destruction of youthful innocence. This ecstasy is portrayed by one of the protagonists of “Philosophy in the Boudoir,” who exclaims, “How delicious to corrupt, to stifle all semblances of virtue and religion in that young heart!” (ibid)
Sade revealed that inner ‘promptings’ are the source of his ‘sexual orientations’ when he wrote: “I wanted only to try to live in accord with the promptings which came from my true self. Was that so very difficult?” (ibid)
Another word for ‘prompting’ is ‘impulse.’ These can be of two kinds—good or bad. As free moral agents, we always have the choice to either act upon or to reject dark impulses. Sade obviously never developed the self-discipline necessary to reject them. Thus, he first became controlled by them, and then eventually was transformed by them into a foul creature whose name became synonymous with sadomasochism, which had thus become the source of his ‘true self.’
The Left’s operative scheme now comes into focus. First, they hold out temptations to seduce the unwary into acting upon dark impulses (self-actualization process). Then the actualized ‘dark impulses’ are deceptively cast as ‘sexual orientations.” In this manner they create ‘sexually oriented’ tribes which are then manipulated into destroying America’s culture while simultaneously allowing Leftists to gain access to our most vulnerable: children and young adults.
As revealed by David Horowitz in “The Politics of Bad Faith” (www.discoverthenetwork.org), Leftists plan to create a ‘queer utopia” populated by ‘queer genderless beings’: “Queer revolution is thus the ultimate subversive project: It proclaims not only the death of…God, but of Nature’s Law…theirs is the ultimate Nietzschean fantasy: a world in which humanity is God. The future will give birth to a new revolutionary people, no longer male and female, but queer. Queer is the Promethean category of the post-modernist Left.”
In a blatant endeavor to violate and destroy the innocence of youth and simultaneously enslave them to dark impulses, consider the following examples from our Leftist controlled academia:
Prof. Peter Singer of Princeton advocates bestiality: “Sex with animals does not always include cruelty…not everyone objects to being used by his or her dog…” Prof. Marjorie Garber of Harvard encourages “not just love of dogs, but love with dogs as well.” Prof. Susan Scotto of Mount Holyoke teaches a ‘stripping class” Prof. Harris Mirkin of the U. of Missouri encourages pedophilia: “Children are the last bastion of the old sexual morality” U. of Colorado Prof. Craig Palmer wrote the book, “A Natural History of Rape” which states that rape confers a selective advantage on men. (Source: ‘Whistleblower”: Brainwashing 101, vol. 14, no. 9)
Efforts at ‘violently destroying the innocence of youth,” this time of teens, is evidenced by the following examples:
1. “Time Magazine: School Event Exposes Massive Cultural Campaign to Promote Homosexuality to Kids” (Robert Knight and Benjamin Frichtl; Concerned Women for America) “A cocktail party in Manhattan with billionaire liquor magnate Edgar Bronfman, Sr., and Clinton political strategist David Mixner was held in May to raise money for the Point Foundation, a scholarship program to turn ‘gay’ kids into homosexual activists.
2. “Turning girls into boys” (Peter LaBarbera, WorldNetDaily.com, Feb. 2002) “A female-to-male transgender conference attended…by hundreds of young women including teenagers…was sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign…world’s leading homosexual organization…included a panel on “How to Do SM (sadomasochism)…a grotesque and disturbing pedophilic painting (was) prominently displayed (of) a baby boy lying naked on his back being sodomized by the nipple of a baby bottle.”
3. “The Little Black Book—Queer in the 21st Century”: this sadomasochistic book was distributed to hundreds of teens at Brook School, Brookline, MA, Apr. 30, 2005 at an event organized by the Gay and Straight Education Network (GSLEN). Among other activities kids were encouraged to explore was “pee play”: urinating on each other. This ‘Marquis de Sade’ style book can be viewed at: www.article8.org.
Listed below are examples of the Lefts success in unleashing the destructive forces of uninhibited sex while simultaneously transforming our nation into Sades ‘pleasure castle’:
“Express route to controversy in Atlanta—pedophile musical (Variety.com; Mark Blankenship, 12/19/05) “NYPD Black and Blue? NY Police Recruit at Sadistic Sex Festival (Peter LaBarbera; www.americansfortruth.com) “Sadistic sex practitioners defend...whipping…beating…hand-anal fisting…burning their bodies with hot wax…bondage…as ‘consensual.’ “Dance Sponsored by ‘Gay’ Millennium March Features Homosexual Orgy, Gruesome Sadism (ibid) “witnesses saw a sadistic stage scene in which a man was strapped to a large St. Andrews (x) cross—his head covered with a black hood—while another man stuck needles into his chest.” “US teacher sexpidemic spreading across planet: Long list of American rapists joined by female Australians” (Joe Kovacs, WorldNetDaily.com, 12/14/05)
Having successfully unleashed sexual anarchy upon America, Leftists now seek to have anyone who objects declared mentally insane: “Calif. Psychologist Wants ‘Extreme Bias’ Against Homosexuals Added to DSM” (Washington Post, Shankar Vedantam)
The two sorts of people…those willing to engage in evil and those willing to aid and abet it…. purposely uncapped the bottle holding the chaos-producing sex genie, arrogantly believing they could force it to do their bidding. As a result, rampant sex crimes and the foul stench of the Marquis de Sade’s perversions waft freely throughout our land, corrupting and befouling everything they touch.
The truths which the Left seek to obscure are twofold: We are meant for higher things and noble causes. We are not meant to behave like dogs in heat. We are men and women—not ‘sexual orientations,’ ‘goddesses,’ and ‘vampires.’ These things are the true ‘social constructions’---birthed by dark impulses, brought to life in the imagination---empowered and applauded by the infinity of darkness. To embrace them is to embrace the self-loathing idea that we are less than we are.

Some of today's "lefties" treat everything like De Sade treated sex.

Wow! That was great. She really did her homework. God bless her.

Its like homos. Is there one gay engineer for every 10 gay Actors, fashion designers, artists? One for every 100, or 1000? Talk about about culture that values form far more than function.
bump for later
I have to juxtapose this with something a science writer keeps telling me - that America is no longer producing smart people, that is now happening in places like India. I wonder, as they produce engineers and doctors, are those countries allowing pedophiles and other kooks in their universities?
Consider their attitude to those who do not wish to follow. Do they simply shrug their shoulders and say "every one to their own"? No, they do not. What they do however, is to heap vituperation, ridicule, and abuse on those who try to protect their own way.
This extends to the attack on the rights of children. To be brought up "the way they should go" is commonsense. If should be done with the best interests of a child. If the child wishes to go the way of the Left, when they reach adulthood, they will have plenty of opporunities.The Left wishes corruption, BEFORE the child has to know it's own mind.
The hate of the Left for those who wish a different path, is because seeing those other people, holds up a mirror to their own sick, obscene souls.
bttt
Thanks, I don't need to know everything. Some stuff just sticks in the mind even when you don't want it to....
The po-mo's have it wrong: De Sade wasn't actually advancing anything in particular as much as he was providing a disquisition on how systematic rejection of (especially) Christan mores led to a hedonistic sort of paradise on this earth - this is especially pronounced in Justine. The difficulty is that the hedonistic paradise he described was banal, brutal, and unutterably boring.
It is actually a fairly good measure of the intellectual progress of the postmodern left - it was a doctrine based on and restricted to rejection. There are flaws with present-day society just as there were flaws in de Sade's, and the assumption that categorical rejection of every more that built present society will lead to some sort of mirror-image utopia is one that even its adherents must know is illogical, and hence they reject logic; is immoral, and hence they reject morality, is incoherent, and hence they reject coherence. It is also impossible, which is a much more difficult thing to reject. The only recourse to demanding the impossible is to pretend that you've attained it, and that is precisely where postmodernism leads, to a grand fantasy world with increasingly few connections to the real one.
They haven't read her writing, or they didn't understand it. She was one of the early feminists, though.
Liberalism (really, leftism and all its pet isms) is a (serious) mental illness.
Objective reality exists, and they don't "believe" in it.
I read Philosophy in the Boudoir almost 6 years ago, a few months before I came to the US.
From what I vaguely remember reading, I'll agree with your assessment, but I'd like to add something:
He was more Nietzschean that Nietzsche himself. His hedonistic, "perfect" world would be ruled by Godless, powerful human beings who wouldn't budge in killing and maiming to achieve absolute power.
