The real reason for homosexual “marriage” is told by America’s leading Reason based philosopher:
———————————————————————–
America’s Cautionary Tale on Gay Marriage

by Robert Tracinski, May 19, 2015

Ireland is currently engulfed in a bitter debate over a national referendum on gay marriage to be held this Friday. They could draw some useful lessons from America’s own little experiment with gay marriage—which turns out to be a cautionary tale about what can go wrong.

My own position on gay marriage has run the gamut from profoundly ambivalent to vaguely sympathetic. Back when it was still an option, I was all in favor of “civil unions” that would allow gay couples to create the same legal relationship as marriage but without the name. But the idea that gay unions had to be called “marriage” gave me the heebie-jeebies. I was generally willing to acquiesce to the idea of gay marriage, but I feared that gay marriage advocates were seeking to use the power of the state to coerce public acceptance of homosexuality.

Well, there’s no reason to speculate about that any more. We’ve conducted our national experiment with gay marriage and the results are in. After the attempts to force pastors to officiate gay weddings, after that baker in Oregon got fined $135,000, and after the national campaign against Indiana for passing a law that sought to protect religious freedom, I consider those fears fully vindicated.

What we have learned is that, for a very large number of its advocates, gay marriage is not just about seeking a recognition of the rights of gay people; it is also about beating down Christians and coercing them into renouncing their beliefs. If you can brand gay marriage holdouts as “bigots,” that’s all that is necessary to declare them without rights and outside the protection of the state. Their sincere religious convictions are dismissed as a “flimsy cloak of piety” that is “discordant with cultural norms”—as if that were a crime—so everyone must be made to mouth their support for “the law of the land.”

For a lot of advocates, this is an essential part of the purpose of gay marriage: once it is in place, they expect to be able to use anti-discrimination laws to force dissenters to toe the new government line.

What does that mean in practice? For the most advanced example, the Irish need only look north to Belfast, in British Northern Ireland, where a Christian baker has just been found guilty of “discrimination.” This time, it’s not for refusing to provide a cake for a gay wedding. It’s for refusing to provide a cake with a pro-gay-marriage political message.

Which is to say that gay rights activists are discovering the strategy of “one man, one vote, one time.” Once gay marriage is established, it will become mandatory to support it, and the very possibility of political dissent on the issue will be foreclosed.

  Yes indeed. It was never about equal rights for homosexuals and those of us who warned about that were abused and derided and accused of paranoia for raising the “slippery slope” argument.
  It’s all about destroying the traditional Western Christian family structure, which is why homosexuals and feminists are silent about ISIS throwing alleged homosexuals off roofs and Iran hanging them from cranes.

    Amen KG, if people just read the communist manifesto they would realise who’s side homosexuals are on. The 3rd plank of the communist manifesto says abolish inheritances. Provision used to be a father’s responsibility, and the third plank says to end it, which means the state will be the provider. By giving rights to gays and lesbians you sneekily take out the provision part of the traditional family, to get the state to take over. So I call these gays rights and feminist rights people 3rd plank marxist communists.
    
    You can also call them satanists. God describes himself as father, so taking out the father’s role is satanism too.

And that, for me, means that my tolerance for homosexuals is at an end. They have been used by the enemy against our conservative beliefs, sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes willingly.
They are now the enemy as well.

Mark Steyn:
‘..~As you can see from various promotional banners around the site, I’m going to be in Washington in a little over a fortnight for the 10th International Conference on Climate Change. Lots of big-time climate deniers will be on hand – full details here – but the key words are the conference title: “Fresh Start.” The hysteria of Mann-style alarmism is going nowhere with the public, as one of the hysterics, Graeme Richardson, acknowledges here:
The sceptics and deniers have turned the 70 per cent-plus belief in climate change into a minority because no one has engaged them.
As my distinguished co-author on Climate Change: The Facts, Jo Nova, responds:
That’s right Graham, we unfunded bloggers and the few surviving skeptical scientists not evicted and blackballed from our universities (yet) have tricked 20% of the population because no one has put forward the climate change arguments except for: The Climate Commission, CSIRO, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Royal Dutch Shell, GE, Panasonic, The ABC, The BBC, The Guardian, Fairfax, The Australian government, most universities, The EU, The UN, The World Bank, and the IMF….’

  Steyn in this link also prints a letter concerning the Battle Hymn of the Republic that is worth a read. The song is a real killer.

      Oh yes,I remember reading that before about the battle hymn,it is a song about the northern white hatred which pushed us into the civil war or as we say down south the war of northern aggression.The true history of the war was suppressed by the north which used slavery as an excuse for the rape of the south.The true motive was money and control.

  Good stuff! I remember a company I worked for (Wallace and Tiernan) sent me on a course that was supposed to give me a grasp of the mathematics involved in fluid dynamics.
  By the end of the week I reckon I was more confused than I was at the beginning.

One of the Wankerati:
“I have a somewhat eclectic range of preferred beverages that are often dictated by my mood, workload and environment. Of course I drink coffee, mostly our own Kokako organic coffee.
A long black or batch-brewed single origin on weekday mornings is often followed by a Bragg’s organic apple cider vinegar paired with Antipodes sparkling water and a wedge of organic lemon.
At home I will make coffee from a traditional coffee dripper or a gold Bodum French press, served in bespoke pottery to hold in the heat. I don’t drink much alcohol but I am partial to a G&T.
My preference is a high-quality gin from Rogue Society and an equally good tonic, usually from Quina Fina. Or to mix it up I’ll use one of the All Good Organics sparkling drinks such as bitter lemon.”

‘ Australian Isis kids face long road home

Five Sydney children trying to return from Syria have every chance of being reintegrated into Australian society, an expert says.’

And will this “expert” take responsibility when one of these barbarians kills or injures an Aussie?
Thought not.

I like seeing people save old wooden boats from the burn pile.This guy did a pretty good save considering he started with a boat that had seen several coats of house paint put on with a kitchen mop-

  That’s a damn nice little boat! A huge amount of work though, even with a boat that size.

KG, what’s your thoughts on this?

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/13/world/asia/13iht-13aborigine-copy.9995732.html?_r=0

Not so different from what happened in ‘Murica.

  Grog, I might have known as soon as I saw it was a NYT article that it’d be inaccurate, biased and uninformed.
  It was nothing more than the leftist rag propping up a leftist failure. Take this:
  “Rudd’s apology was particularly addressed to the so-called Stolen Generations, the tens of thousands of indigenous children who were removed, sometimes forcibly, from their families in a policy of assimilation that only ended in the 1970s.”
  They were not.
  The “Stolen Generations” myth has been discredited and disproved again and again, yet the left clings to it and the media mindlessly (or maliciously) parrots it.
  Andrew Bolt has a standing challenge, for any leftist to produce just ten cases where Aboriginal kids were removed from the their families for any reasons other than their welfare.
  Just as many white children ended up in government care during that period, by the way. Something conveniently overlooked by leftards.

In regards to my most recent adventure in literature, “The Study of Revenge” – Once again it’s PURE FICTION that plays off today’s headlines. Thus I have been and will be using real people – like Obama, Hillary Clinton and other well known public figures to use in my fictional drama.

After all, the Left used George W. Bush in several fictional books, plays and movies to include one where he was assassinated….So turnabout is fair play – I will use real live Leftists to score my points.

In regards to American underground movements like my fictional “White Rose” and “Red Rose” – I have no insider knowledge of what is going on beneath the surface in patriot America – but there are indications something BIG is going on just below the water line, as strange motions are seen on the surface.

Thus the writer writes and the dreamer dreams…
