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?
