Since Bob Hope is dead, I didn’t include him...
“...than any other performer.....”
Perhaps you should have said,
“...than any other performer TODAY”.
Exactly. Just because someone is musically talented doesn’t mean he or she is gifted with discernment in other areas. Support for Barack Hussein Obama in ‘08 already showed a huge lack of discernment on his part so this is really no surprise. Someone should ask him if he wished he had “two mothers” with no father or “two fathers” with no mother and see how he would’ve liked that.
>> and the current liberal view is that homosexuality is not a choice.
Indeed. It’s an agenda.
Number two, it's about forcing acceptance. It's about taking crude and lewd behavior and pushing it into people's faces, of commandeering churches and community centers to host their weddings, and flaunt their lifestyle. They want it in the schools, they want it in the colleges, they want their lifestyle everywhere, because without this, their lifestyle dies because no one joins it.
There's very very few ‘gay’ eleven year old boys, but if you tell them over and over again that it is ok to be gay, that you were born that way, it creates a whole new crop of flesh for them to exploit and corrupt. You take normal development and you exploit it, turn something normal into deviancy, just to fulfill the next generation.
So, no, Toby, this isn't about homosexuals shacking up, or about marriage. It's about an attack upon our society by those who would corrupt it, and there's every reason to fight for tradition, culture, and against deviancy. It's not because we're homosexuals, bigots or whatnot. What they do in their bedrooms is their business; they're more than welcome to stay there too.
“He says refusing a marriage license to people because they are gay won’t stop them from living together, so it accomplishes nothing.”
No one’s denying a marriage license to any one because they are gay. It just has to be to a member of the opposite sex. For that matter, refusing a marriage license to people who are involved in a polygamous or incestous relationship won’t stop them from living together, so it “accomplishes nothing.”
.....as the opening act for “Murph and the Magic Tones.”
Read each goal carefully. This will help to clarity the problem.
Communist Goals (1963)
Documention below
Congressional Record—Appendix, pp. A34-A35
January 10, 1963
Current Communist Goals
EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, January 10, 1963
Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.
At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:
[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]
CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS
1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.
2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.
3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.
4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.
6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.
7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.
8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev’s promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.
9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.
10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)
12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.
14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.
15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.
16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
18. Gain control of all student newspapers.
19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to “eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms.”
23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.”
24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them “censorship” and a violation of free speech and free press.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with “social” religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a “religious crutch.”
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of “separation of church and state.”
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the “big picture.” Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.
36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37. Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
38. Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand [or treat].
39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.
You hit the nail right on the head.
Could not have said it any better.
Communist agenda/ gay redneck ping
I have a cousin who is a small-time country singer(no one famous) who basically holds the same opinion as Keith. When I asked him if he would have any objections to legalized polygamy, he freely admitted he’d support that also. What made the conversation strange was that he also called homosexuals by the very politically incorrect “f word” term that would be labeled a “hate crime”. I really don’t think there’s a lot of discernment among many in the country music scene for this issue and many others.
>> who are getting into MY personal life.
Homosexual marriage laws are anything but laws of liberation. Notwithstanding the obvious fact that laws are contradictory to liberty, laws that “permit” homosexual marriage are in practice laws that persecute those that exercise free speech.
Keith’s five minutes of fame were well spent but have now expired
Indeed. My copy of his greatest hits CD will be headed for the trash. I have no desire to listen to his music or to anything he says ever again.
If they want it to be private, why continue to publish it?
They cannot reproduce, so they can only recruit! And who will they recruit?
My and your children and grandchildren!
Indeed. Is Toby the father of a son? Does he want his son to go into today’s military?
You’re forgetting about Grath Brooks.
Looks like Ol Toby is caving and going gay. The usual moral one upmanship. People will love me because I’m so tolerant of perversion
Some don’t like Tobey Keith, but he was a big Bush foreign policy booster. Had been registered democrat until after 911 and the democrats in congress opened their big mouths he says he changed to independant after that...I like all of the songs he writes and sings...but he’s not everyone’s cup of tea....Definately not a liberal like some of the other country singers...jmho
