Hey SS,

That sentence jumped out at me as well. What a sad state of affairs.

No doubt a fatwa has been issued against the author by the Human Rights Committee of the local GLBT coalition.

Almost everyone I know goes to a therapist.

It had surely seemed that way from the jokes, the comedians, the stand-up comics, the sit-coms – the implication of therapist reliance in Hollywood has been a comic meme for a long time. And I always have regarded it, and dismissed it, along those lines. He just throws this line out there so matter-of-factly, much along the line of “Almost everyone I know carries a handkerchief.”

Putting that line on an almost throw-away basis into a letter like this has shown me, more than anything else ever has, that the liberal line is not going to be defeated by superior argument, superior policy, reasonable debate, or informed discussion. Nor is it going to be defeated by ridicule, mockery, shout-downs, or exposure of its hypocrisy. No, there really IS a mental disconnect in that social cliqué.

And, suddenly, IMAO is not as damn funny as I thought it was. Frank’s advocacy is suddenly serious – indeed, the only solution.

“Do not imagine that thou then lovest thy servant when thou doest not beat him, or that thou then lovest thy son when thou givest him not discipline, or that thou then lovest thy neighbor when thou doest not rebuke him. This is not charity, but mere feebleness.”
- Augustine

“One man with courage makes a majority.”

Good article! Thanks for linking to it!
Honest debate is better (but harder) than timid silence.
Unwelcome truth is better (but harder) than comforting fog.
Uncompromising Love is better (but harder) than disinterested tolerance.

After this and Basil’s excellent post, I will face tomorrow with more hope than I had before.
Sa-Lute!

God bless him.

I don’t know if anyone is familiar with James Hartline? He fought against Christians for years as a gay man here in San Diego. Then Christ changed his life forever. Now he has taken on the local politicians and gay community as an activist – closing down bath houses, running for office, even defending the Cross at Mt. Soledad (and more!) His persecution has been fierce. Please pray for him.

As a sidenote – my sis googled my name and found out I’m on many gay web site hit lists! For donating to Prop 8! This is a first for me (a mom of 3, soon 4). My full name, city, one site even has my address. UGH.

This is what happens when you drop Latin. Bring back the Palestrina mass, and RC masses will become a regular Castro Street Fair.

Hence the Prop 8 debacle. There is no real reason for “marriage” to be redefined. California has one of the most liberal “partner” amendments in the country. The only real difference between it and marriage concerns income tax and that is a Federal issue not a state or “marriage” issue. The only real reason to change the law and allow gay couples to “marry” is to force churches (the prime example being the LDS church) to allow gay couple to marry in LDS temples. This is where the problem lies. In an effort to validate their lifestyle some members of the gay community seek to dismantle anything and anyone who dares disagree with them.

Most Christians do not seek after contention, it is of the devil. They will not however stand by while someone tries to force them to change their beliefs. Most people feel the same way.

We are not the enemy, truer words were never spoken.

That said politicians are open season. They seek abuse, they beg for contention and liberal ones are after our freedoms, all of them.
