Dear
America,
The
topics of homosexual marriage and hate crime
legislation as it pertains to 'gay rights,' seems
to be popping up in many of the public and
political arenas lately. The resolution of these
issues will directly affect all
Americans.
If
you think hate crime legislation pertaining to
homosexuals is a mere continuation of a good thing
the "civil rights" struggle, think again. Once
written into law, everything will change forever.
It's another huge step towards a secularized Big
Brother society. It will be another brick in the
mythical and nonsensical wall called the
"Separation of Church and State."
All
that we have come to know as hallowed and sacred
will be in danger. We will then be forced to
accept anything that a liberal and unelected judge
legislates as 'normal.' Militant homosexual
activists say that Christian morality needs to be
kept out of the law because of the counterfeit
requirement of separation of church and state, yet
they demand that special rights and protections be
granted to them under the law! Interesting. Alan
Keyes brilliantly said in an appearance in
October, 2004:
"We are legislating a morality that
says you gotta care about your neighbor. Whoa,
that sounds familiar. Where did we get that from?
As I often tell people, we not only legislate
morality in America, we legislate Christian
morality. And we do it all the time. See? And the
simple fact of the matter is that you can't avoid
it, because all [Judeo-Christian] morality
involves a distinction between right conduct and
wrong conduct."
You
see, as I see it, welfare, unemployment insurance,
food stamps, free emergency room health care,
Section-8 housing and all manners of government
assistance are really "Christian" in nature, and
they all sprang from Christian morality. The
'Christian' moral code has been there all
along. Even illegal aliens get help in America, so
don't tell me that we need to keep Christian
morality out of the law. Otherwise, let's
end all those 'Christian' entitlement
programs. That puts things into a different light,
doesn't it? (author's
note)
The
statement about a wall of "separation between
church and state" was made in a letter on January
1, 1802, by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury
Baptist Association of Connecticut. Jefferson made
it clear in this letter that this 'separation' was
there ONLY so that government would not establish
a national religion or dictate how men should
worship God not to outlaw its presence in public
expression or in governmental function. If you or
I support this misbegotten separation, then we
support limitations on our religious and free
speech liberties. This is an extremely dangerous
position to be in. Mark my words. Let the reader
beware. One of the areas where this battle is
being fought sometimes covertly is in the
areas of homosexual marriage and
supra-constitutional rights.
For
the most part, militant homosexual activists hate
Christians because Christianity has a code of
conduct which prohibits homosexuality. It is these
activists's goal to outlaw any speech, behavior,
and eventually expressed thought, that criticizes
their 'lifestyle.' Their mission in life is to
outlaw your "civil rights." Some of you may not
believe this. Think again. Please read Hitler's
Cross by Erwin Lutzer (Moody Press). It
details how without much opposition except from
the likes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and a handful of
others Hitler was able to slowly outlaw 'wrong
thought,' eventually leading to a complete ban on
any behavior that opposed or even threatened to
oppose, the Third Reich. This happened in the most
civilized country in central Europe in the land
of Luther. Once the Nazis codified their twisted
mores, they quickly went from Luther to
Liquidation. But by then, it was too late for
decent Germans to do anything about
it.
The
same thing is happening now in America, little by
little. Unelected judges are telling Americans
that the Liberal concepts of morality and conduct
are the only correct ones. They have the audacity
to tell us that most of what we cherish is wrong
and that under the guise of diversity and civil
rights we must now redefine and undermine the
hallowed institution of marriage and sacrifice
it on the altar of "tolerance."
In
reality, they claim they are the tolerant ones and
it's the Christians who are intolerant, but it is
in fact they who are intolerant of our Christian
beliefs.
There
are many homosexual activist groups working today.
These and many other seemingly normal
organizations like the National Organization of
Women (NOW) who now promote homosexual issues
frequently enlist other civil rights groups to
help fund and push their liberal homosexual
agenda. These groups willingly assist them because
the homosexual activist groups will also help push
'good' civil rights causes. This is all done under
the umbrella of "civil rights." That's part of the
problem! There are also groups with patriotic
sounding names like People for the American Way,
who are really intolerant liberal organizations
working feverishly for enforced public acceptance
of the homosexual agenda. Be afraid; be very
afraid. Better yet, oppose them.
These
activists, along with many liberal legislators and
most newspapers, want to make you appear to be
hostile to civil rights if you oppose homosexual
rights or hate crime laws specifically aimed at
'protecting' homosexuals. They say that
homosexuals are such an unprotected group that
special legislation is needed to protect them.
Hogwash. The reality is that existing criminal
laws already protect all citizens
equally.
Remember
the murder of homosexual Army Private Barry
Winchell, 21, who was beaten to death with a
baseball bat by a fellow soldier at Fort Campbell,
Kentucky? Army Private Calvin Glover, 18, was
recently sentenced to life in prison for the
slaying of Winchell. Homosexuals are not in
need of any special protections. Another
homosexual, Matthew Shepard, was a student at the
University of
Wyoming. He was robbed and attacked by
two men near Laramie, Wyoming on October
6. He died from his wounds several days
later. His killers are both currently serving life
sentences in prison. The homosexual
men's killers got justice they got what they
deserved. Justice is indeed blind. Please
understand that the real goal of all this
ridiculous homosexual rights ballyhoo is to
covertly codify their lifestyle by a series of
legal protections and maneuvers. They do NOT need
hate crimes legislation and special protection.
It's a lie. Don't believe it.
Better
yet: oppose it, but do it legally and peaceably.
Call and write your legislators and tell them that
you do not support the gay agenda, gay
marriage and special hate crimes
legislation.
For
many years, militant homosexual activists have
been silently working behind the scenes under the
guise of civil rights. Now they more stridently
work toward that end. For example, it has been
recently noted that approximately 80% of American
universities do not require an American history
course! When I went to college many years ago, it
was required in every college curriculum guide I
read. Why not require an American history course
now? Because if you talk about the Founding
Fathers, you have to discuss their Christian
beliefs. It was out of these beliefs that our
wonderful Constitution was born. Almost all of the
Founders were Christians, and Christianity imposes
(oh no, that dreaded word) a MORAL CODE. It is
this moral code that the militant homosexuals and
liberal activist legislators are against. They
want no judgments regarding personal conduct
it's anything goes, unless of course you're a
Christian.
Most
recent public high school's history texts are
revisionist, to the minimization of our original
core beliefs. In 2003, just fewer than 90% of
American university professors classified
themselves as "liberal." Not Democrat, but
Liberal. There's occasionally still a difference
at least there used to be. Ronald Reagan said that
"I didn't leave the Democratic Party it left
me." This gap is narrowing even more lately, with
most leading Democrats leading the charge for
abortion, homosexual marriage, total gun control,
increased taxes, free speech protection for
pornography, and in general the secularization
of America.
The
'Thought Police' impossible in America you say?
Not at all. Look how far Liberalism, Secularism
and moral relativism have come in America over the
last few years. Would homosexual marriage have
even been a topic for serious discussion 15-20
years ago? Absolutely not. There was a time in
early Nazi-Germany, when most citizens thought
concentration camps were only for truly hardened
criminals. But after the "Night of the Broken
Glass" (Kristallnacht, November 9, 1938),
and after many misguided public book burning
rituals, many Germans realized that it was
becoming too late. Not too late, but
becoming too late! That is an important
distinction. Nevertheless, most people still
didn't act or speak out. Some didn't do so out of
fear. Many refused to read the signs and said "It
can't happen here." Eventually becoming too late
became much too late. Hitler got most of his early
internal changes through legislation, and
eventually it did become much too
late.
It
is not too late in America for you to act and/or
speak out, but we are fast approaching that day.
Remember that pastor who was locked up last year
in Pennsylvania for speaking out against
homosexuality? You didn't think that day would
come, did you? But it did.
As
Robert Knight noted, Canada and Sweden have
already outlawed speech directed against
homosexuality. Note that Sweden is a neutral
country (no surprise, huh?) and Canada has
outlawed the FOX Cable News Network (in my opinion
probably because of Conservative talk shows hosted
by Hannity and O'Reilly). In these two countries
there is now a legal code of conduct that
prohibits people (pastors included) from speaking
out against homosexuality in any way. The Thought
Police. It can happen here too. The wheels
are in motion.
The
bottom line is this: homosexuals say that
they only want to be treated like everyone else,
and they then scream that they need "special
protection" because they claim that there are
enough hate-filled people out there whose only
goal is to beat them senseless. Nonsense. These
radical homosexual activists say that they only
want everyday Constitutional rights and
protections applied to them like free speech
but they then seek to limit YOUR speech if it
opposes their lifestyle. The real goal of
homosexual marriage, special homosexual 'rights'
and hate crime legislation protecting homosexuals
is to maximize their freedom while limiting yours,
and to normalize their lifestyle while
criminalizing yours.
Have
you noticed the many recent TV shows that seem to
portray homosexuals as normal? Will and Grace,
Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, and Queer as Folk,
all seek to normalize homosexuals by portraying
them as normal or just slightly eccentric
Americans. Another example: NBC's "E.R." has aired
a homosexual-related story involving Dr. Kerry
Weaver, portrayed by Laura Innes. Weaver was
initially portrayed as heterosexual, but in an
episode that aired on June 26, 2003, she was
transformed into a lesbian. Bit by bit,
brick by brick, the road to normalization and/or
enforced acceptance of their lifestyle is being
built.
"When
bad men combine, the good must associate; else
they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice
in a contemptible struggle." That quote is from
Edmund Burke in "Thoughts on the Cause of Present
Discontents," and has come to be known as 'The
only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is
for good men to do nothing.' Either way, its
inescapable conclusion is the same. If we as a
people don't act too reclaim our God-given rights
and speak out now, soon we won't be able to speak
out at all. Begin with calls and letters to your
senators and congressmen. Write your local and
metropolitan newspapers. Call in to talk radio
shows. When other similar issues come to light,
speak out. These liberal activists want you to be
silent, intimidated and afraid.
Their
power relies on your
silence.
