Well yeah they do, in a way. That monkey business will catch up to you. What meanies to tell us that the universe won’t simply bend to our every whim?

—In one America, it’s OK to say this of gays and lesbians: “They’re full of murder, envy, strife, hatred. They are insolent, arrogant, God-haters. They are heartless, they are faithless, they are senseless, they are ruthless. They invent ways of doing evil.” In the other America, you’re not supposed to say that.—

Here’s a good example of what Phil is talking about:

The writing in this article is the twisted prose of a tortured soul who believes (for the sake of his own comfort) that there are degrees of sinfulness which are acceptable ... perhaps even chic.

He desperately wants to justify himself at the altar of public convention rather than at the foot of the crucified Savior.

Oh, you mean like the one below which T. McAuliffe was just Governor? Or the one below which M. Landrieu has been the incumbent Senator for several terms? Perhaps the one, below which, S. Hoyer was elected and became 2nd in the Minority?
Certainly, the Mason and Dixon line would be a perfect line of demarcation. Or some such.

If we got a “divorce” do you seriously believe that the same creatures that you named would be in charge in most of those localities?

This is bizarre.

I do not really care what gay adults do with each other as long as they don't tell me about it and don't do it in the streets and scare the animals. (I don't want to hear about what straight people do with each other, either.)

Never, ever in my oddest moments have I ever imagined that gay people were the essence of evil, magnets of dreadfulness, and all the rest that Josh blathered about. But I never proclaimed that I, Glorious Little Old Me, was part of the BETTER America, either...

Maybe telling himself over and over how superior he is to the 'breeders' has led to Crazy Think.

I was waiting in a line for a ticket booth to open. I was buying some museum tickets in New Orleans a few years ago.

I was in front of a short heavy set woman who was talking on her cell phone. She talked like no one was listening but those of us around her could not help but hear every word she said. She was sad and depressed that she had chosen the lesbian lifestyle.

Yes, she did say it was her choice. Now she was alone and lonely and was very sorry that she had chosen that path.

It should have been a private conversation and I would have preferred not to hear it.

Barro describes himself as a neoliberal and a Republican

Multiple personality disorder...

Barro lives in Queens, New York. He is gay and has written in support of gay marriage.

...and a plumber for poop to boot.

The reaction to Robrtson's comments highlights the progressive's view of the majority of Americans. To the progressives the Robertsons are the epitome of those of us living in fly over country.... ignorant rubes clinging to our guns and religion. To them the Robertsons are just TV characters little different than the Beverly Hillybillies ...stereotypes held up for ridicule and entertainment. When Phil Robertson became more than an actor portraying their stereotype and dared to voice his view on homosexuality that is outside the politically correct view mandated by progressive orthodoxy they became enraged. To progressives it was like Fred Sanford and Archie Bunker seriously discussing race relations or Marcus Welby castigating Obamacare.

In many ways progressives are little different than the regime in North Korea where any utterance differing from the current political line brings punishment not only to the person making the statement but to their entire family.

Absolutely, without a second thought. It’s not just “Yankees with U-hauls” that are “destroying” the South. If you believe that to be the case, you are sadly mistaken and will continue to lose.
Our people, those like us are perhaps not surrendering but evaporating into background. No one speaks for them. No one speaks to them. They put their heads down, keep it there. Pay their taxes, don’t cause trouble and remain invisible.
It’s easier for some people to think it’s the other people who cause the problems. Elect the assholes. It’s never somebody they know. Couldn’t be Dewey “down the Mill” or Sheila “at the Tavern”. Every other election had a 100% vote for the people you know.
I grew up in a place that made Mayberry seem to be the big city. It had a mill. A barber, until he died. On “Hee Haw”, when they used to salute small town America? Population 3462? My town was a quarter that. Maybe.
Think back to the Klan investigations in the early 60’s. It wasn’t outsiders that brought these people down. It was the people trusted most who took them down. The people who just invisible.

There’s the Phil Rpobertson America, and there’s the Pajama Boy America. Which one would most American males choose? Gee, that’s a hard choice. (smirk)

"homosexual pops up"

There definitely seems to be some sort of homosexual agenda. My wife loves to watch the Home and Garden channel and their house-buying/remodeling/selling shows. It's amazing how many homosexual, prospective buyers they put on those shows.

My wife, too, watches what I call "those remodeling shows". For the longest time, I noticed that one of three 'couples' there had "partners" rather than spouses. Hmmmm.

I wasn't very surprised when one of the formerly straight seeming decorator guys did one show where he might as well have been in a pride parade (something got him excited and the facade fell big time).

At first, I didn't like watching the shows because I remember when $20,000 could buy a liveable house, not just pick up part of a kitchen remodel.

I go into sticker shock when I see what people are willing to pay for a pigeonhole condo somewhere (where do they get that sort of money--or do they live in perpetual debt?).

It wasn't long before I put together that the GiBLeT characters in the sitcoms were a huge percentage of the cast (20% of the main characters) and a third of the home buyers were GiBLeTs, other shows had similar emphasis, and I figured it was a not so subtle way to try to get Americans to think there were a lot more homosexuals in the herd than there actually were. There may be places and professions where that is the case, but not so much in rural America, where they tend to go off to the cities.

What I want to know, is what makes the urban people think they are right?
