I strongly suggest a FULL reading of the following article:
How 'Gay Rights' is Being Sold to America
worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=46887
I can't help but admire the wickedly CLEVER psychological strategies to literally HYPNOTIZE or seduce readers into an emotional froth. They're GOOD. They're masters of sophistry!
sophistry n. < 'sâfistrE >: 1. The art or process of cunning, often fallacious reasoning. 2. The practice of a sophist; fallacious reasoning; reasoning that is sound in appearance only. The author of this particular piece of anti-gay vitriol, is one David Kupelian (see his photo above). Here are sample quotes that convey his blind bigotry and false claims:
"Deep down, people of conscience know homosexuality is neither an innocent, inborn 'minority' characteristic like skin color, nor a conscious choice to become evil and to corrupt others."
Phrases like "deep down" and "people of conscience" are prime examples of sophistry; for they are not backed up by any evidence. They are, however, persuasive memes to the poorly educated, which includes most Americans these days (thanks to the dumbing down of our public education over the last 30 years). Also, Kupelian's tacit assumption that homosexuals are intrinsically "evil" and "corrupt", without presenting any evidence whatsoever, begs the intelligent reader to write him off as a genuine homophobe. Bingo! - Zeke
"Simple case in point: homosexual activists call their movement 'gay rights.'...describing their battle from the get-go as one over 'rights' implies homosexuals are being denied the basic freedoms of citizenship that others enjoy."
The very real threats of being bashed, fired from a job, and rejected by one's family--just for telling folks you're gay--is indeed a CLEAR denial of one's basic freedoms. No question.- Zeke
"Even more outrageous was the suggestion by openly 'gay' New Hampshire Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson--a comment he quickly retracted after a firestorm of protest--that Jesus Christ was a homosexual!"
So what if Jesus is homosexual? Why would this suggestion generate a firestorm, unless those so outraged are brainwashed from birth to blindly hate gay people? Many blacks honor Christ as a negro; myriad Asians celebrate Him as oriental. As a Gnostic Christian myself, I prefer to worship Jesus and his Father as homosexuals. And that should be respected as my right to religious freedom. And shame on Gene for retracting his honest surmisal! He did gay rights no favor by waffling.- Zeke
"And make no mistake, the 'gay rights' agenda, which includes indoctrinating kindergartners with pro-homosexual propaganda and legalizing same-sex marriage, is extraordinarily subversive to America's foundational values and institutions."
It is in childhood we're the most susceptible to ideas, including prejudice. Teach them at an early age that black people are human beings, too, and you'll have less problems with racism. Is that "indoctrination"? Teach them about the humanity of all minorities, and you'll have less prejudice in society. Why should homosexuals remain a target of hatred? (Blood lust? Pact with the devil?) "Mistake", "indoctrination". "subversive": all buzz words for sophists to stir up hot, irrational emotions among those already strongly prejudiced. - Zeke
"As you no doubt already know, the establishment press is oriented far to the left of the American mainstream, as study after study for the past three decades has documented beyond rational dispute."
"No doubt already know"? What a rude assumption, putting words in our mouths! When in fact, mainstream media has been sold off to major corporations now largely owned by right-wing organizations. "Study after study"? Yet he can't even cite ONE! "Documented beyond rational dispute"? Oh, I get it: anyone who even so much as makes a peep against any of his (false) claims must be (ipso facto) "irrational". Mr. Kupelian simply REEKS of sophistry! In truth, mainstream media is mostly right-wing these days, as it is run by large global corporations for whom profit is the bottom line. (See "Exposing the media bias hoax" for an honest appraisal.)

So this is what we're up against...what I'M up against, quite literally! And a handful of bless-ed others, not the least of which is my dear e-friend Thomas Keske.
We need to out-clever, outwit, out-brilliant their OWN writers and speakers! We cannot PERMIT the enemy to rule this planet, or all is doomed!
Are you scared? I'm not. Do you fear we won't even come CLOSE to answering this call to Victory? I don't.
For I am CONFIDENT in my angels: that they supply me with whatever weapons necessary for each situation, and with whatever skills necessary to utilize these weapons. And my greatest weapon, my Excalibur, IS the spoken and written word!
And even were I the only good guy so gifted (which of course I'm not), my FAITH in Our Creator is such that our Victory is STILL guaranteed!
So stun yourself with the wicked and clever tongue of the Religious Reich, by reading that article in full: you WILL be shocked. And know that this sort of homophobic smut is being WIDELY DISPERSED through all the various forms of mainstream media. Can you say NAZI PROPAGANDA? Kupelian's article is from a major Religio-Fascist zine called "WorldNetDaily.com".
Just have no fear:
Zeke is here.
But it wouldn't hurt to buckle your seatbelt.
