THE GROWING FALWELL-LIBERAL ALLIANCE | 2004-12-11
I use Falwell's name generically. I have a lot more respect for him than I do for the other right-wing Jehovists.
The other day, Falwell was insisting that "no one is born a criminal. No one is born a homosexual."
Why? Because of Jehovist Dumb Science. Since crime and homosexuality are sins, so every man has an equal choice about being a criminal or a homosexual.
Liberals love the general idea that there is no such thing as heredity, though the gay libbers like the idea that homosexuality is inherited.
Meanwhile, back in the real world, identical twins raised in totally different environments from birth not only tend to commit crimes, they tend to commit the SAME crimes at the SAME age! But Dumb Science Jehovists stand shoulder to shoulder with liberals to suppress any mention of that fact.
Different people are born with a greater tendency to homosexuality than others. In the Victorian society Jehovists worship, Britain's boys' school were routinely hotbeds of homosexuality, with almost every Senior having some young lowerclassman in his bed every night.
There is a tendency and there are ways to discourage that tendency. Falwell denies there is tendency, but he has no idea how much Jehovists, with their crazy attitudes on sex, push homosexuality.
Speaking of suppression, the Jehovists and the left are united in favor of censorship. Conservatives say they want to suppress pornography on the Internet "to protect the children."
Everything conservatives want to do is supposed to "protect the children." If you are able to treat the public like children, you can forget freedom.
Leftists want to censor anything they call Hate Speech on the Internet.
Everything liberals want to do is supports to "suppress Hate." If you can tell everybody that you will allow them to do only what leftists call a "preference" and they can keep you from doing anything they call a "prejudice," you can forget freedom.
In congress, Jehovists and leftists form a solid bloc in favor of censorship.
And they are getting together in other ways. The weird logic of the left that is evil to execute someone but it is OK to lock them in a cage for life goes right along with the idea that a fertilized cell is morally exactly the same as a newborn baby.
They're both nuts, and this is the only time in history, and it won't last long, when people take that nonsense seriously. But right now the anti-death penalty and general "criminals are victims" leftists and pro-lifers is growing.
The problem with abolishing the death penalty is the logic behind it. Once you agree the state has no right to execute, you are on your way to saying the state has no right to punish. But Jehovists couldn't care less about the future. Right now they are getting patted on the head by liberals.
More and more the only difference between Jehovist conservatives and leftists is how you treat Jehovah. Prayers in schools, Merry Christmas, the Ten Commandments, stuff like that.
And everyday, more and more people, including actual Christians, are realizing that both these groups are actually insane.
