Cal Thomas: Asshole

I've been criticized by my liberal friends and my socialist family members recently for being too eager to attack the left in my blog and my personal opinions. "You deride Barack Obama's health care plan without criticizing the American one" I've been told. Shit like that. But I digress.

While I consider myself a Catholic, though not an overwhelmingly observant one, I completely, wholesale, 100%, absolutely, and (insert any other synonym for completely) disagree with the major religion's views on homosexuals. As the Book of James says (in the New Living Translation) "Doesn’t discrimination show that your judgments are guided by evil motives?" You may hate the premarital sex homosexuals engage in, but you can't decry them having sex without being married while prohibiting them from getting married.

I am not going to be holier than thou and say I don't discriminate, because I do. Not because I hate the group, but because I have my own personal views and when a certain person or group behaves in a manner which reinforces a false stereotype, I say "OK, how am I wrong for thinking this person/these people act this way when this person/these people act this way?" I will criticize homosexuals when they engage in sexually risky behavior just like I'll criticize Catholics when they engage in behavior which seems very creepy.

However I don't think teaching people to dislike one group or another has any business being taught in public schools. If a private school wants to discriminate against homosexuals and believe the Earth is 6000 years old, let them and hope that the kids go to a college which doesn't believe in things like biology, or physics.

Well a-hole Cal Thomas has written a piece for his syndicated column criticizing California for teaching that homosexuality and homosexual behavior is not the most evil thing on the planet. They're indoctrinating children into... ACCEPTANCE. Fucking shit! People leaving other people to make choices, regardless of whether you approve of the activity or not!

He starts by pissing and moaning that some group in California is assisting kids in coming out of the closet with their "non-traditional" sexual identities. Don't these accepting degenerates know? It's better for them to be closeted homosexuals their entire lives while cheating on their spouses with crystal-meth dealing gay prostitutes and lying to the largest congregation about their morality! Or not.

For someone who claims to be pro-life (funny how he's not disturbed about killing prisoners, who despite their evil actions, are still living human beings) he seems to have no problem with forcing a psychological mind-fuck upon youngsters who often end up killing themselves because they consider themselves abominations in the eyes of their lord (the God I believe in loves everyone and considers all of his creation beautiful) for feeling the way they naturally feel. Not very pro-life to me.

We're a supposedly advanced culture. We've moved beyond the ass-backwards-ness we see in the Middle East with regards to civil rights and liberties. Why do we still have people who continue to enforce idiotic and hateful messages like this?

Rant over.
