A little fringe group rant

Vajayjay in your face Culture   re noisy-ass fringe groups “ What bothers me about all the little noisy-ass fringe groups, such as atheists, Muslims, gays, and so on, is that they get up in everybody else's face with their agendas, and their agendas offer nothing positive to the overwhelming majority of the populace. At least 75% of the US population favors Christianity in one form or another. At least 98% of the US married couples are heterosexual. At any point in time, no more than 5 to 10% of the population is gay. At present, roughly 1% of the population is Muslim. Despite what the gay and lesbian groups want you to believe, nearly all societies which have made studies on homosexuality have come up with data indicating that perhaps as many as 10% of their populations have EXPERIMENTED with gay or lesbian sexuality, but fewer than 4% actually engage in it regularly. I've read studies which loudly proclaim that 20% of the US population is homosexual.  Oh, balderdash!  Probably closer to 2 or 3, tops.  In fact, I've seen studies which show that when bisexuals are removed from the data, homosexuality amongst men drops down below 2%. So, why do we even bother to LISTEN to their whining and demanding and accusing?  I don't much give a damn what individuals do to or with each other sexually, so long as it doesn't get into my house and in my face.  I've worked with homosexuals, and I've worked for homosexuals.  I've had large numbers of lesbians in one of my divisions in the Navy.  Never had any problem.  Why?  Because they had the courtesy and decency to keep it to themselves, and they didn't do any active recruiting amongst the straights. Similarly, I've had friends who were black, Latino, Jewish, Buddhist, Shinto, Baptist, Catholic, Mormon, Quaker, Italian, Irish, Filipino, Japanese . . . and NONE of them had demands, ultimata, agendas, and certainly not recruitment parades like the Muslims, gays, lesbians, atheists, and other shitstirrer groups put on regularly for no other purpose than to annoy and inveigle. Why should 90% or more of the population be deprived of a cross, or a menorah, or a plaque inscribed with the Ten Commandments, or a nativity scene, or a guy giving his opinion on the purpose of male and female sexual apparatus because some outside-the-box troublemaker doesn't like it?   To me it's not even a religious thing . . . just common sense.  The external male genitalia is designed to co-function with its female counterpart, not with those of other males.  And the purpose of marriage is to provide a stable environment in which to bring children and raise them according to cultural norms that won't get their asses kicked for being goddam weirdos. Civilization is a collection of agreed-upon standards and practices and behaviors that the majority can live with.  Those who choose not to live within those criteria which their neighbors accept as normal can either go live somewhere else or continue to behave as they see fit but not be a pain in the ass about it. I don't like seafood; ergo, I avoid seafood.  My dislike for crustaceans does not compel me to deny my family or neighbors or friends the pleasure of eating the disgusting things.  TV has hundreds of shows which either fail to interest me or annoy me for some reason or another.  I particularly dislike shows such as that drivel Maury Povich used to put on.  And I really don't like most modern cartoon shows.  So what do I do about it?  I don't watch the damned things.  I watch something else. If somebody doesn't like a particular actor, or talking head, or singer, or whatever, he can simply watch or listen to something else, goddammit!! If Al Sharpton and Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity and Oprah and Al Gore and countless other self-appointed pundits and prophets can go on the air and spew their opinions, if Barbara Streisand and Alec Baldwin and Danny Glover can criticize Dubya and even wish him harm, then why the FF can't a guy share his opinion of what is very obviously a controversial issue in our society?  I mean, wholly scheist, if Fred Thompson and Henry Winkler and Debbie Boone can shill for controversial commercial products, why can't whatsisname say what he feels about homosexuality?   As parents of a homosexual son, who, with his life-partner, is entirely accepted, loved, and integral to our whole family, I'll still say that Ron Metzger here fairly represents our own views  across the board. ”
