T. WRITES:

Until recently, when I joined a “mothers” forum, I had maintained a very superficial presence on Facebook.  It became clear very quickly, however, that the forum was nothing less than an ode to child neglect. (more…)

You mentioned the incidence of child molestation among homosexuals in your recent post. The strong preference of homosexual men for much younger men has indeed been substantiated. This phenomenon merits a special category of its own: ephebophilia. (more…)

  J.C. PENNEY'S, the retailer that once stood for traditional middle class values, is once again promoting same-sex "marriage" in its ads. The department store chain chose the child-like lesbian, Ellen DeGeneres, as its spokeswoman earlier this year. The company responded to letters of complaint by stating: As we focus on being in sync with the rhythm of our customers’ lives and operating in a ‘Fair and Square’ manner that is rooted in integrity, simplicity and respect, we couldn’t think of a better partner than Ellen DeGeneres. We are extremely proud to have her on our team. Now for Father's Day, the chain's print circular features a homosexual couple (above) with adopted children, reports The Vancouver Sun. So there is no question about Penney's commitment to the cause. Macy's featured a homosexual couple in an ad in February. The organization One Million Moms continues to pursue a campaign against the ads, advising customers who received the Penney's circular to write "Return to Sender" on the outside and to cancel any Penney's credit cards.

IN THE previous entry, I made the point that one always has a father, whether one knows him or not. A  person deliberately deprived of a father (or a mother) through homosexual “marriage” or artificial reproduction is like Hamlet — a man surrounded by a smiling villainy that says nothing is amiss. But the orphan knows something is wrong. Thus Hamlet’s final words to his father’s ghost in Act I, Scene 5:

…. —- Remember thee?
Aye, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat
In this distracted globe. Remember thee!
Yea, from the table of my memory
I’ll wipe away all trivial fond records, (more…)

You recently stated: “Heterosexual men commit sexual abuse too, but they do not have the same rate of sexual perversion against the young.” I immediately thought, “of course.” But I decided to do a bit of research online and consider the positions of various psychologists and statisticians on the topic.

  THOMAS COLE, considered the father of American landscape painting, only lived to age 47, but left a large body of works, which are in museums across the country today. These works include his favorite genre of allegorical paintings, as well as the romantic landscape scenes for which he is most famous. You can read a short biography of him here.

  I AM behind in posting comments and adding new posts due to the illness of a relative, a death in the family (the oldest son of my maternal grandfather, whom I wrote about here, died last week), and other matters. I hope to catch up today.

THE website Gulag Bound recently featured two interesting essays on The Hunger Games by Berit Kjos. She reviews both the book and the movie. Kjos writes:

I heard no laughter while watching The Hunger Games on opening day. Just sober silence. This teenage movie — set in a totalitarian world that supposedly replaced a broken America — shows the grim struggle for survival in a world without God, hope or meaning. The only “higher power” is a heartless government that supplies its own choice of artificial thrills and trials. And the people suffer.

HERE is an outstanding video, posted at Heteroseparatist.com and made by the organization SaveCalifornia.com in response to the elevation of homosexual activist Harvey Milk to an official role model for children. Harvey Milk Day is May 22 in California schools.

  HERE'S a forthright fifteenth-century painting by Hans Memling of Jesus Christ at the breast. Why is this so radically different from the recent photos of nursing women that have gained international attention, leaving aside the obvious fact that this painting represents the imaginary vision of an artist? There is one overwhelming difference, and that is the gravity of Mary's expression, a mixture of serenity, love and sorrow. Also, the tender way she clasps the Holy Child, as if he is a priceless treasure, is entirely different from the manner of the mother on Time magazine who stared self-assertively at the camera while her older son stood on a stool, or the soldier who appeared in a military uniform while feeding her daughters, or Crystal Scott, below, who feeds her daughter in public on a street and gazes with heavily blackened eyes at the camera with what appears to be an explicit come-on. Mary is all-encompassing maternity. The others are flagrant show-offs.

CONVERSION THERAPY, which helps homosexuals battle same-sex desires, was banned yesterday by California State Senate in another blatant political endorsement of a lifestyle that causes suicide, disease and depression. A lengthy response by Christopher H. Rosik, Ph.D. of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality can be found here.

Randy Thomasson of SaveCalifornia.com, said the bill would keep effective treatment from adolescents who have been sexually abused.

ONCE AGAIN, we have a mother in a shameless pose breastfeeding for the public. In this case, Terran Echegoyen-McCabe, a soldier in the National Guard, is pictured in uniform breastfeeding her twins, supposedly to raise awareness for breastfeeding. (Another military woman is pictured with her in a more modest pose.)

What does the world think of America? Echegoyen-McCabe (who but a feminist would adopt such a ridiculous name?) is a symbol of a military in steep decline.

And breastfeeding is transformed, from maternal selflessness to one more nauseating display of self-assertion.
