Coulter to Keynote for
Homosexualist GOPride

MoFiZiX asked me to comment on the announcement that Ann Coulter will be keynote speaker at the first annual "Homocon." While AC often speaks for me, it would be presumptions for me to turn that table, but what the hell.

Neither Ann nor I are what we used to call "pussy-footers;" a term that now refers to foot fetishists, I imagine. You always know where we stand, if you pay attention.
We (me and MoSup -- Ann was not involved that night) have a gay son - with a gay partner, whom our entire family love with all our hearts.
We do not sign on to the activist gay agenda that includes sanctified gay marriage, although we would attend their ceremony out of love and respect. It would hold for us no legal significance, whatever that might entail.
We believe that, given the unique situational demands faced by the military, "Don't ask, don't tell," is reasonable. The same goes for women in roles that place them in close quarters with men in combat. In other words, common sense trumps PC.
Read the article, and you decide. Would you accept their invitation? I would. And I'd prolly be snarky at times, but respectful.

Integral to Liberal efforts to frame the debate, is turning opponents into caricatures; stereotyped images that distract from actual issues. At the risk of using a murky example, I just a few minutes ago ran across this strip. It's been jumping up and down in my head, and I have to let it out. I think it's analogous to the Ann Coulter issue.

As a final, snarky, aside ... of course Obama is against gay marriage. Muslims execute homosexuals.

It's about money, power and anal sex for all the people that go to them for help. Somebody is going to get screwed and it won't be them.; 8/13/10, 9:16 AM

I-RIGHT-I said...: One day we'll find out why these things happen. We'll find out why some people turn to homosexuality or are made homosexual by GOD and why some conservatives think that a little dirty water won't fuck up then entire drink. We are doomed.; 8/13/10, 3:25 PM
Kristophr said...: Hmmm.

I don't concern myself with the morality of it ( anything not happening in my bedroom is not my business ), that being said:

If homosexuality is entirely a matter of genetics, then do future parents have the right to test a fetus for "queerness", and then have it aborted to prevent homosexuality?

Or even screen out homosexuality before in vitro conception?

Would such a testing program make liberal's heads explode?; 8/13/10, 6:45 PM

Chris in NC said...: As the parent of a gay child I can safely say we knew it before he did. I used to think it was just rebellion or something like that but I realize now that no, it is wired.

When you look at your 5 year old and he's making clothes (yes, he was making clothes) and he puts his hands on his hips and bends his waist like a woman (again at age 5), it is obvious it's wired in.

Just like most of us cannot imagine going out with a same sex person and having at it, gays cannot imagine going out with the opposite sex.

Kristopher, I used to ask that same question but having a grown gay son, I cannot imagine the world without him. And yes, that would make libs heads explode.; 8/13/10, 9:40 PM
Anon E. Moose said...: My younger brother is gay and I didn't know about it until four years ago when I read his Yahoo profile.

Except for a disinterest in girly Pr0n (an observation I have made only in hindsight), he had no feminine traits at all right down to the Meccano sets, Tonka and Matchbox toys, interest in military technology, fart jokes, computers, and electric guitars.; 8/14/10, 12:59 AM
Kristophr said...: Chris: Don't have an opinion one way or the other on this ... it's not my child.

Just wondering how the left would react when one of their cornerstones gets carried to it's ultimate conclusion.; 8/14/10, 2:00 AM
Skip said...: Do what honks yer horn, but not in public. And if sumdood pats my ass, he will need some dental work.; 8/14/10, 2:15 AM
Kristophr said...: Skip: Does that include public heterosexual displays?

Granted, if someone touches you without your permission, you can correct them ... but how is someone else's displays your business?

This whole business fits on the other foot as well.

If you cannot abort a child with a genetic tendency to homosexuality, then is this tendency the kid's fault? How is this sinful? I, as a heterosexual, have a tendency towards sex with women ... I am married ( been so for over 2 decades ).

Shouldn't someone who is born homosexual have some form of legally recognized monogamy? Multiple partners represent an epidemiological danger.

I just wanted people to think. This stuff ain't as simple as you would have it.; 8/14/10, 3:19 AM
Anonymous said...: Kristopher, from my [limited] experience on this subject, most people really have a concern with the slow perversion of the word 'marriage' to mean just about anything people want it to mean.
If people want gay 'unions', have at it. Call it 'pairriage', call it fringdang, I don't care, but just don't call it marriage.
For the rest of us, it is not, and will never be, the equal of marriage, as our history, even with all kinds if 'bad things' happening within and because of marriage, is still based on women and men pairing up and procreating. If they quit doing that, there will be no more history, as there will be no more future.
I have one brother, formerly two, who are gay. One decided that he'd had enough disappointment in his life, and ended it. The other has gone off the tracks, and is in bare minimum contact, if at all, with the rest of his siblings.
What is really being demanded, not requested or earned, is that everyone else respect their pairings as exactly equal to hetero marriage. I don't see how it can ever be exactly equal.

Kristophr said...: And that is the problem.

A friend of mine was part of such a pairing, had exchanged powers of attorney with his partner, and was still denied access to him after bringing him to the emergency room.

It took a lawsuit threat to get the hospital admins to remove an ER nurse who couldn't control her religious zeal, and was obstructing his access on the grounds they weren't really married. Someone had to forcefully explain to her that what she did was exactly equal to denying the client access to his lawyer.

It is this kind of intransigence that is driving the civil union movement ... the severe zealots are, again, their own worse enemies.; 8/14/10, 10:45 AM
Kristophr said...: Oh, ans do you think it is possible that opprobrium from his family and their friends might have been part of what drove your brothers to their decisions.

It sounds like one made the correct choice: leave, and stop tolerating disrespect.; 8/14/10, 10:48 AM

This shouldn't be too difficult for Conservatives to accept. I mean, they've done far far worse in having embraced the perversion of the word 'liberal'.; 8/15/10, 1:42 AM
Anonymous said...: "It sounds like one made the correct choice: leave, and stop tolerating disrespect."

You know not of what you speak.

There never was and likely will never be any disrespect, just disappointment at other disrespectful, such as borrowing money and not bothering to pay it back. I enabled that, but finally stopped. The other brother asked me the day before he pulled his plug whether I had considered such. Ask yourself what you would feel if your sibling asked you on Friday and was dead by Saturday.
I am refraining from saying what I really feel about your ignorant comment.

I am not about to defend conservatives, but it is the Democrats who have perverted the word 'liberal' to what is generally accepted in todays society.
Lucky for us, HRC has decreed that she is a "Progressive", as in the Margaret Sanger proscriptive breeding progressive, and the 'eugenics' movement of the early 20th. I guess she will be leaving 'liberal' on the cutting room floor from now on...
