Why not call me a 'fagophobe'?

There are certain topics about which I write that inevitably trigger predictable responses. If I write, say, a defense of Israel, I know I will be called one of three or four obscenities by anti-Semites. If I write a piece bemoaning the fact that 80 percent of Jewish Americans invariably vote for left-wingers, I can expect to be vilified, not as a conservative, but as a self-hating Jew. If I write disparagingly about Obama, a certain number of readers, taking their lead from Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, will condemn me as a racist, and if I write anything in opposition to same-sex marriages, I'm pilloried as a homophobe.

So, naturally, when I wrote and posted "Gays and grays," it stood to reason that I'd receive some angry email. What I hadn't anticipated was that I'd receive a piece of snail mail that would contain a couple of pro-gay propaganda pieces and a third article downloaded from a gay website called "Good As You," written by someone named Jeremy Hooper, taking me to task.

The envelope had no return name or address on it, so I couldn't respond to the anonymous sender. And as the website didn't entertain comments, I will have to take this opportunity to address Mr. Hooper.

In the article, portions of my original piece were re-printed so that Hooper's gay readership would understand that I was a bad guy, even though in my article I had written, "I don't happen to think that homosexuals are bad people."

Apparently, the part that most upset Mr. Hooper was the sentence that read: "What I do find annoying about a great many homosexuals is their insistence on identifying themselves solely on the basis of their sexual activities,"

The gay community, a minority, has been busy cramming their agenda down the throats of a majority. That majority is getting very fed-up with their self-absorbed and perverted Bravo Sierra. This “gay affirmative action” has been aided and abetted by the craven political class.

At some time, there will be blowback and the oppressed majority will turn on their tormentors. The results will not be pretty, but the gay activists and political hacks will not stop until they are stopped — dead.

Me personally, racist, extremist, homophobe, xenophobe islamophobe, etc are so worn out. I would prefer being labelled as DRACONIAN. That would have a special meaning to me because there is some Slavic and Hungarian ancestory in my family. Heck, for all I know, good old Vlad the Impaler could’ve been a distant cousin or even a great grandfather of mine. So for me, being called Draconian has a sentimental ring to it :-)

I guess the nice thing about being a member of a minority in America is that you can assume the moral high ground even when you're wading in a swamp.

Great post.

Oops — towards the end, that should read “prefix” not “suffix.” My mistake
