Reality Bites Gays
The American Thinker ^ | December 24, 2013 | Rosslyn Smith

Posted on 12/24/2013 1:37:53 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

At the heart of the Duck Dynasty controversy is a modern paradox: those who most loudly celebrate the gay lifestyle seem to go into a Victorian swoon whenever anyone even obliquely mentions actual gay sex practices such as anal sex. As we watch the corporate clusterduck swirl around the alleged wrongs of reality TV star Phil Robertson concerning homosexuality, it may be instructive to take a step back.

Image control has been crucial to gay activists. In 1980 Hollywood produced, Cruising, a big budget film that showed the seamier side of gay life. It got pretty good reviews because it was edgy and well-acted. Gay activists denounced it as homophobic because it touched on two taboo subjects that interfered with promoting their agenda to the general public: sadomasochism and recruitment. Since then, any filmmaker who does not conform his gay characters to a positive and largely asexual template is likely to be criticized.....

Phil needs to point out exactly what you posted. He needs to make the liberal hypocrisy the main issue. Muslims need to be answered by liberals.

I think the last thing gay men want to think about is “biting”

Whenever someone tells me that they support “Gay Marriage,” I ask them: “how, exactly, do gays consummate their marriage.” When I say this, I get a nasty stare and told that I’m a hater.

Alas, Phil Robertson is a white male of Anglo-saxon descent, which is to say he is one of society’s new ni**ers, and any and all forms of denigration and insult are not only quite permissable, but essential to the whole Liberal mindset in the Brave New World.

“Muslims need to be answered by liberals.”

Yes, yes they do.

I like very much how you put that, I’m going to use it in the future.

Muslims need to be answered by liberals.

I can’t get over how pithily perfect that really is.

Post of the day!

Merry Christmas and thanks Talisker!

Yep know that story - told a couple of people at church once the the anus was made to let stuff out not to put stuff in especially another man’s penis. I was told that I was crude and disgusting and as they walked away I said “maybe so but I’m not the one actually doing it”.

Phil expressed what many are thinking but are afraid to say it for exactly the reasons he experienced. And the polls shows it.

I don't know if you've been following the "conversation" going on over at NRO but it's produced some very good commentary and with it much truth.

On ‘Civility’ and Freedom "As one of the graybeards around here, I’ve been dealing with the modern Left since 1967, when I first encountered this mutant species of snarling societal and cultural vandals in their native habitat, a major American private university. Wrapped in their Tarnhelms of “tolerance,” which protected them in their vulnerable cocoons, they incubated in a toxic amniotic broth of second-hand Marxism and third-generation gangsterism — red-diaper grandbabies with the street-fighting ethos of the old Gophers, Eastmans and Five Pointers. In the summer of 1968, like the chest-burster in Alien, they exploded through the institutional retaining walls, took to the streets of Chicago, and they’ve been with us ever since; in fact, they’re now in power.

So now that young whippersnappers like Mark, David, Jason, and Jack have raised the issue, allow me to weigh in.".............................

Dec 22 - American Thinker: Moral Intelligence and Public School Bullying "On December 4, 2013 Randi Weingarten, president of the 1.5-million member American Federation of Teachers (AFT), spoke on C-Span about bullying, particularly of gay students. Ms. Weingarten said, with surprise in her voice, that she doesn't understand why gay students are still bullied in public schools, because in 2013, "It's cool to be gay." She also said she is gay, and now speaks about it openly.

As a psychotherapist, I tell clients that being surprised by another person's behavior often results from erroneous assumptions about the person, usually because you see them as you want them to be rather than as they are. As Ms. Weingarten talked about the love that not only dares speak its name but never shuts its yap, I imagined how it would sound if a heterosexual male schoolteacher said, "The way I do sex is cool."

Ms. Weingarten misunderstands the moral intelligence of Americans, both regarding the vapidity of being "cool" and their beliefs about sex. She is expressing a mindset that mentally abuses all children (especially her new teachers' pets, gay students) and worsens the bullying she wants to prevent..............."

NoBody Talks about the Reality of Male Homosexuality the Banana in the Talepipe generates a Life expectancy of 47 Yrs Old. That is Not NOT part of the Natural ORDER! If Obesity is Going to Be surcharged in OBAMACARE in the Future why Not Homosexuality?

Are there any TV shows on these days that don’t have homosexual characters? I used to watch Army Wives and enjoyed it until they threw in the lesbians. Stopped watching. Chicago Fire looked like it might be a good show until they threw in homosexuals as well. Stopped watching. I don’t watch sitcoms (which aren’t really comedies anyway) or “dramas”. I have given up. I watch sports and news and an occasional documentary. I do watch DD but not all the time. The left has completely taken over the media. They can have it.

“I ask them: “how, exactly, do gays consummate their marriage?”....I get a nasty stare and am told that I’m a hater.”

`The love that dare not speak its name’ is confronted by `the question you’re not supposed to ask’. That’s when the faggies send in the Gaystapo & the GayKK.
