Republican slap fight.
Nothing like sodomy and gays and the possibility of gay marriage to get the conservatives all bitchy and pissy and looking to deliver such a slap...
It's Jonah "Couch Potato" Goldberg
Calls me a coward and capitulationist. Frankly, I think this one is simply intellectually and factually dishonest about what I wrote and have written and reads to me like a piece of direct mail fundraising propaganda more than an argument. All I will say on the issue of my alleged cowardice is this: considering where my bread is buttered, it seems to me I have a lot more to risk by taking this position than I have to gain. I've also found that people who shout the word coward in situations like this tend to be saying a lot more about their own intellectual insecurities than the intestinal fortitude of their opponents. I've got no problem with people saying I'm wrong or even very wrong, but I can do without the beer muscles from people like this guy. I'm not intimidated.
vs. Peter "Beverly LaHaye's Bitch" LaBarbera
I recently picked up a thick magazine called XY Survival Guide 2 at a Borders Bookstore in northern Virginia. It bills itself as: "Everything you need to know about being young and gay." This "survival guide" promotes hard-core homosexual porn, drug use and promiscuity to thousands of confused boys who've bought the lie that they're "gay" (or maybe they're just considering it). It makes youth homosexuality out to be oh-so-cool. I take no joy in predicting that many of these same kids will be dead in 30 years while Mr. Goldberg is enjoying retirement at his beach house in Florida. These boys will pay the price if we follow his advice and capitulate, just as babies pay the price for liberals' selfish "pro-choice," convenience agenda.
"Magnanimity in victory"? What planet is Goldberg living on? Not mine. The “gays” will come after us in our churches and Christian organizations; they already are! (Two words for Jonah: Boy Scouts.) They want nothing short of government-mandated full affirmation and scowl at the notion that they should merely be tolerated. Already, homosexual lawyers calmly discuss "religious-motivated bigotry" (see Canada's “gay-marriage” court decision). They're fighting for the "right" of gay men to give blood and open homosexuals to be in leadership roles at Christian organizations. Far from magnanimous, they want to censor us out of the public square, slowly if need be but rapidly when they are able. (Again, events in Canada are instructive here: there the country's leading homosexual activist is trying to ban anti-gay "hate propaganda" (translate: critical and religious speech). We have no alternative but to oppose this movement the best we can, while lovingly drawing people out of its grip—just as we fought and continue to fight against abortion while trying to save every baby we can.
Meee-ow! Hiss hiss.
Okay now, boys. Let's try and stay calm here. We don't need this escalating into the two of you circling each other with broken Zima bottles in the wreckage of a fern-bar, caught in a lambada-like dance of death.
Okay. Maybe we do, but put it on pay-for-view. I wanna watch...
