Remember when our universities were places where civil discourse was sacred?
Take a look at this video. Read the article while you’re at it.
And yet the advocates of same-sex ‘marriage’ keep assuring us that nobody’s civil rights will have to be abridged for them to have their way.
I have no interest in telling people how they ought to live.
I have a big interest in seeing that the government also refrains from telling people how to live.
One of the main reasons I’m against marriage redefinition is that it will result in the government interfering in people’s lives and telling them how to live. Specifically, it will result in family courts micromanaging people’s lives much more than they already do.
I don’t think my opponents on this issue could say the same thing about themselves. This post discusses an illustration of this proposition.
Let me illustrate the difference between myself and my opponents. My opponents are passionately interested in gay issues. Fine. I’m not going to argue on that. Live and let live, I say. I am passionately interested in the welfare of orthodox Judaism and its continuation for our posterity. I would venture to say that it is impossible for a gay activist to be MORE passionate about his cause than I am about mine. I would be glad to say that we’re equally passionate about our respective causes.
Let’s see the differences between us. Read more…

Last month, facing the problem of Muslim assimilation, British Prime Minister David Cameron denounced multiculturalism and called for a new “muscular liberalism” as the basis for a shared national identity.

So over in England (a country), some gay activists want to cancel a gay pride parade because it will cause “community tension,” between gays and Muslims.
The march was a response to anti-gay stickers placed around town, but some worry this event could hurt Muslim feelings. Read more…
ABAjournal.com:
The school argued (and still argues) that banning “Be Happy, Not Gay” was just a matter of protecting the ‘rights’ of the students against whom derogatory comments are directed. But people in our society do not have a legal right to prevent criticism of their beliefs or even their way of life.
So they needed a court to explain that citizens don’t have “…a legal right to prevent criticism of their beliefs or even their way of life…”, huh?
Well I’m just glad we got that cleared up.
How often have we all heard pro same-sex so-called ‘marriage’ folks vehemently insist that Christians will not have to be politically or socially marginalized for them to get their way.
And yet this is happening in Great Britain where, if I’m not mistaken, same-sex ‘marriage’ isn’t even recognized yet – just civil unions.
On another site, this story was aptely titled Christianity isn’t dying, it’s being eradicated.
This incident is just more evidence of Planned Parenthood’s mindset and priorities.
So now you can’t even support a candidate for elected office if he’s not pro same-sex ‘marriage’:
Target attracted the ire of many LGBT rights supporters — some of whom pledged to boycott the company — after it was revealed last year that the retail chain donated $150,000 to MN Forward. The group ran ads backing Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Tom Emmer, who opposes same-sex marriage.
Well how dare they!
But if they thought they could allay the hatred of the lavender thought-gestapo, the first comment on the article would indicate that they were probably wrong: Read more…
It ought to be perfectly clear to everybody that the enemy we are battling in our efforts to save marriage is the political Left.
Recently, in the wake of the shootings in Tucson, the Left showed the depths of its hatred for us, the denizens of the political right. They also showed their hatred of freedom in numerous calls to roll back freedom of speech.
In response to this, John Derbyshire rallied the troops with this Rebel Yell: Read more…
Socialism doesn’t work.
The reason socialism doesn’t work is that it’s based on money for nothing. And the first lesson you learn in economics is that there are no free lunches. That means there is no such thing as money for nothing.
So, Canada, in an effort to free up its economy and to restore prosperity, has banned money for nothing.
Congratulations, Canada.
Okay, then. Never mind.
Here’s an update.

Had Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s amendment been approved, passports would have instead listed “mother or parent 1″ and “father or parent 2″ in order to accommodate homosexuals who are raising children.
Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) tells OneNewsNow the proposal, although short-lived, represents another marker in society’s decline. Read more…

From the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director Rea Carey’s latest fund-raising e-mail:
Right-wing hate groups, emboldened by electoral victories, are determined to halt our long march to equality and put LGBT people back in the closet.
I have to wonder: what exactly are they afraid of? Read more…
In our battle to prevent marriage abolition via redefinition, we have an adversary. Just who is this adversary? One commenter on our site said that we were trying to defend marriage against gay people. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are doing no such thing. We are trying to defend marriage from Leftists. Read more…
This is seriously nuts.

An expert on Islam explains that schools across the United States have implemented radical Islamic curriculum in public schools.
Brigitte Gabriel, founder of ACT! for America, explains that students are required to become a Muslim for three weeks, adopt Muslim names, memorize verses from the Quran, and visit a mosque for a field trip. If students try their best on assignments, she says, they will be guaranteed a good grade. Read more…
One consequence that is sure to follow from marriage redefinition is that courts will be yet more empowered to assign parental rights and responsibilities.
How wonderful that would be!
If we just allow biology to determine parental rights, what a disaster! In disputed cases, we would send wet, messy biological samples to labs! There, those samples will be analyzed by scientists. Scientists who probably never took a humanities course in their lives! How can we let people who don’t know the first thing about postmodern critical theory make decisions like that? How would social justice be served?
And that’s not just in same sex cases, either.
Andrew Stuttaford discusses an article in which this frightening idea is aired: Read more…
An interesting thought from Robin Hanson over at Overcoming Bias:
A key pillar of modern morality is the sanctity of romantic love. We reel in horror at the thought of “backward” societies, including our ancestors’, who arrange marriages without intense emotional romantic love. While they think it nice if arranged partners have such romantic feelings, if that does not happen such partners are not to look for love elsewhere. They think a life without romantic love can be a fine life. Read more…
Why do the Courts so often impose their “enlightened” views on the rest of us? Political Science professor Robert Lowry Clinton believes he has the answer:
A few months ago, I was attending a presentation by one of my colleagues on American elections. He reported that it was now settled among experts that American voters were “idiots.” After some reflection, I have concluded that here lies the real answer. The true explanation for judicial supremacy is elitism, pure and simple. Read more…
From the Blog Villainous Company:
From the author of a longitudinal study of the long term effects of early child care:
“In America today, it is normative for children to start childcare at some point in the first year of life and stay there until they start school. This is the case for over 50% of children,” he says. He continues: “Let’s imagine these are small effects. But let’s imagine a reception class of 30 children in which two-thirds of them have small effects that make them a little bit more aggressive and disobedient … versus another class of 30 in which only 10% of them do. Are those teachers going to be doing more time managing and less time teaching? Are those playgrounds going to be less friendly? Are those neighbourhoods going to be affected? Read more…
The End of Men recently published in the Atlantic, can’t decide whether the marginalization of men from the family, the economy and the academy, is a nightmare or a dream come true. Steve Baskerville takes on the questions no one else will and says what no one else will say. The End of Men is not a naturally occuring result of natural forces, but something aggressively constructed by committed ideologues:
While elite feminists did assume previously male occupations, many more women have entered the workforce in professionalized versions of traditional homemaker roles. This has transformed childrearing and other domestic tasks from private family matters into public, communal, and taxable activities, necessarily expanding the size and power of the state and leading to the creation of vast bureaucracies to oversee public education and social services.
