"It's time to live up to our founding promise of equality by treating
all our
citizens with dignity and respect.
He is right again. Everyone should be
accorded personal dignity and respect.
Let's enact federal civil rights legislation
to outlaw hate crimes and
protect workers against discrimination based upon
sexual orientation and
gender identity or expression.
Hate crime laws go after what people
believe or feel. That was never meant to be a purpose of our legal system
until the homosexual folks got up a head of steam, and have been able to
cash in on several decades now of our American history not being taught in
schools, how it got founded, and on what principles.
When feelings or beliefs are made the
target of civil or criminal law, we are all put in danger,
depending, of course, on who is currently in power. What will the
"liberals" do when the "conservatives" begin writing the hate-crime laws?
T Jefferson made the specific point that
the force of law does not extend to beliefs, only to behavior, because the
colonials had left a Europe where what you believed could get your head
chopped off or yourself burned at the stake. Depending on who was in
power. Our laws are written to work for all of us, no matter which party
is in power. Only the charlatan, manipulator, and power-hungry can benefit
by hate-crime laws.
To
discredit Christianity, some folks make comments about the Inquisition --
which burned people at the stake for their beliefs. If things progress in
the present direction, I will be subject to arrest for saying the things I
am saying here. It is already happening in America, Canada, Europe, etc.
How are hate-crime laws different from a new Inquisition?
Hate crime laws are not meant to protect
people, they are meant to shut down honest discussion -- by persons who know
that their position would not survive an honest discussion. If
homosexuality is, as the evidence clearly shows for most practitioners, a
compulsive, lethal addiction, then they are the people who most of all who
need the honest discussion. They need help which they will never get
in our present system. The American medical and psychological and social
work associations have betrayed the America people. And mostly they have
betrayed homosexual persons themselves. They are supposed to be the
watchmen on the towers, warning of enemies. They have surrendered their
towers to the enemy. They have put the drunk in charge of policing the
bar.
If the homosexual agenda had a teaspoon of honest
science behind it, they they would welcome honest critique of their case.
But they do not allow any such thing. They invade and disrupt attempts to
speak the truth. When I was working with the Exodus ministries, they would
appear on the sidewalks, etc., screaming, blowing whistles, holding
blatantly obscene signs, with the police looking on. They were being
whipped up by their totalitarian leaders.
Many of them in the ranks were quite different, and many of us on our side
would mix with them and be able to have intelligent and helpful
communications. I never left such a conversation without being able to
shake hands with the people, and they expressing gratitude that some of us
would come out to speak with them with kindness and gracefulness.
Let's repeal Don't Ask,
Don't Tell and demonstrate that the most
effective and professional military in
the world is open to all Americans
who are ready and willing to serve our
country. Let's treat the
relationships and the families of LGBT Americans with
full equality under
the law.
They already have full equality under
the law. Equality under the law does not give the right to introduce deadly
diseases and death-producing behavior into the life blood of society, or to
alter by deceit and coercion the very nature of the bedrock of society,
marriage and the family.
"We are ready to accomplish these
goals because of the courage and persistence
of lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgendered people who are working every day to
achieve equal
rights. The gay couple who demand equal treatment in our family
laws as
they raise their children;
The real scientific evidence has been
quite clear for decades, that homosexual persons are less emotionally
stable, and more likely to be promiscuously and destructively engaged in
sexual activities, are unable to maintain long term relationships, etc. all
of which profoundly affect the lives of children they attempt to raise. The
very bathhouse behavior which kills them is much more likely to be a part of
their home life than in an average heterosexual home.
the lesbian soldier who wants nothing more
than to serve her country
openly and honestly; the transgendered workers who
asks for the simple
dignity of being judged by the quality of their work.
She may indeed want to do that. The
question (among others) is whether the compulsive nature of homosexuality is
compatible with the need for strong self-control and self-discipline
required in the military, especially in combat.
Generations of LGBT Americans, at once ordinary and extraordinary, have
made
possible this moment in our history. With leadership and hard work,
we can
fulfill the promise of equality for all."
I have offered the following 2-liner to
homosexual persons on those front lines mentioned above, and offer it again
to Mr. Obama et al:
"You and I are on the opposite
sides of this fence. But if the evidence should show that homosexual
behavior is approved by God and that it is a healthy way to live out one's
sexuality, then I will stand with you.
On the other hand, if the evidence
should show that God does not approve, or that homosexual behavior is not a
healthy way to live out one's sexuality, then would you be willing to
reconsider your position?"
I also welcome their request for
approval of homosexuality. But to reasonably respond, we would need a
careful description of what homosexuality is, both as an orientation and as
a list of behaviors. Sadly, so-called "conservative" leadership has not had
the courage to insist on that conversation, and the homosexual advocates
have studiously avoided it -- for obvious reasons. Well, obvious once you
examine the list of behaviors.
The Obama for America campaign is proud to be actively participating in
over 60
local and state wide Pride events over the summer. To find the
events nearest

I think the Obama campaign is lacking
"somewhat" in intellectual, moral, and spiritual integrity.
