A Dystopian Preschool

SEBASTIAN C. writes:

There was a Simpson’s episode that featured Lisa, the idealistic daughter, creating an imaginary world named “Equalia,” where everyone was equal except for her and her friend (the place needed some rulers, after all.) Here we have a nursery school in Sweden named “Egalia” where children are trained to be philosophically homosexual. The teachers do not use the standard pronouns of “him” and “her” and refrain from calling the children “boys” and “girls.”  Read More »

 

The New New York

On 79th Street in New York City today, I saw a cute little blond boy of about three wearing what I thought was a Superman cape. Not so. It was a nylon “rainbow flag” pinned to his small shoulders. He was with two 50ish white men, I guess his “dads.” I immediately thought of the Soviet Union, with its hordes of brainwashed kids. It lasted a fairly long time in the lives of men, but it ended. And so will this.

Today, two days after same-sex “marriage was signed into law in New York, the annual “gay pride” parade took place. Read More »

Same-Sex “Marriage” in New York

June 25, 2011

  

THE legalization of same-sex “marriage” by New York lawmakers yesterday was a sad and sordid event in American history. What can we say about a people so oblivious and insensitive to the young and so disdainful of the institution that unites the sexes but that New York is one of the most decadent republics that ever existed, a modern Sodom that prides itself on its decay.

The marriage revolutionaries represent the culmination of the liberal project to remake human nature and to create an infantile, selfish people so lost in their private emotions and pleasures, they cannot lift their heads to gaze at tomorrow. When leftists lost their effort to make everyone alike in material acquisitions, they turned to making everyone alike in the cultural sphere, and to leveling the family, the realm where unfairness reigns and where unfairness will always reign, the sphere where one can never escape the raw fact that we are not all the same.

I REMOVED a bird’s nest from its position above a light fixture on our back wall recently. The birds – a family of American robins – had left. All that remained of their industry was this woven bowl and some splattered stains on the wall. Birds have no outhouses or plumbing. They have no bathrooms or living rooms, kitchens or bedrooms. One room serves all their purposes and it is open to the skies, so that the baby bird can direct his hunger and grievances not just to parents but to the heavens, to God himself.

Once the fledglings can fly, the bird breaks with his nest completely. Neither parents or offspring come back and search for the destroyed dwelling. This has been true of all the squalid nests I have removed from birdhouses and crevices and shrubbery after their fledglings have left. So much work and the bird departs without a backward glance. What the bird loses in domesticity he gains in freedom. The air is his home and it fills his lungs with the trivial song of independence. Birds are the quintessential bohemians. 

The robin or wren quickly returns to the air and to the recesses of shrubbery. He calls out from the forest at daybreak: Here I am. Here am I. His twitterings and choruses are sound without sentiment.

We could live in the secret shadows of the forest. We could survive. But the heart demands a home. The bird can sing, but the man covets what he loves. The delights of the forest grow within. The human being soars in his woven nest. At home, pinned in place, he is borne aloft on the currents of time.

 

Lies About Dad and Dad

DIANA writes:

See the picture? Very misleading. Fact is, the majority of “gay” couples are lesbian couples, who are raising children from one of the lesbians’ former marriages. This is buried in one sentence on the second page: “And the largest number of children in same-sex families are a result of previous heterosexual marriages.” (Yes, it doesn’t say that they are lesbian couples, but I’ve read this repeatedly in other sources.)

Now that’s out of the way, what’s missing in the picture? The boy’s mother!

A State of Anticipation

MRS. P. writes:

When you mentioned the trousseau, I was reminded of the hope chest I received as a young girl around 1952 when I was twelve. The hope chest, or glory box as they were called in the UK and Australia, contained a young woman’s trousseau (special clothing and household items such as linens and quilts) that she was accumulating in preparation for marriage in the future and her own home. Although hope chests are still popular today, the concept of acquiring a trousseau made up of these items began to lose its appeal after 1950. Perhaps the need for a young woman to come to a marriage prepared to start a new home has been satisfied with bridal shower gifts and wedding gifts.  Read More »

 

Does Race Have Meaning?

June 23, 2011

 

IN PREVIOUS discussions of interracial marriage at this site, one reader insisted that the white race was a “dangerous fiction.” She stated: 

There is quite simply no ‘white race,’ not even in America. 

In other words, the white people are nothing more than an amalgam of physical characteristics, not a distinct people with cultural tendencies. There is no reason for whites to identify with each other.

See this excellent reply by Robert B., who wrote: 

Only a non-thinking fool would think race and culture have nothing in common…

7-Year-Old Driving 50 mph Just Wanted to See His Dad

CASEVILLE, Mich. — A 7-year-old Michigan boy barefoot and in pajamas drove a car for 20 miles, sometimes hitting speeds of 50 mph, before finally slowing down and stopping with the help of authorities.

“He was crying and just kept saying he wanted to go to his dad’s,” Caseville Police Chief Jamie Learman said. “That was pretty much it. He just wanted to go to his dad’s.” Read More »

One Liberal’s Conversion Story

June 21, 2011

 

LIBERALISM is the sea in which we swim. For many of us, it takes some stark encounter with reality to get us out of the water. Here is one reader’s story of how she changed from a “lunatic liberal” to a traditionalist. All her problems are not solved, but her life has been renewed. She has shed many illusions.

Josaphine writes:

I am white, 42, and married to a black man. My husband is a fine art painter by trade, and a corporate accounts manager by day. We are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary this year. Read More »

 

Good News

June 20, 2011

 

THE SUPREME COURT today rejected a class action lawsuit filed by women employees against Wal-Mart. In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that hiring decisions involving 1.6 million employees could not be reduced to the single common factor of the sex of the employees. This ruling represents a positive restraint on mandatory, government-enforced hiring of women and discrimination against men.

The idea that 1.6 million women in many different stores were affected by a policy of hostility to women, and were fired or denied promotion because of this hostility and not because of their job performance, is patently absurd.

 

We Bow to Thee, Mammon

LYDIA SHERMAN writes:

The economy” or “in this economy” are two new religious phrases honoring the god of this age. It seems that all you have to do to get people to gasp and fall to their knees in awe is say, “in this economy.”

Many women really do want to stay at home, but fear of doing so “in this economy” prevents them. The Bible says that “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Luke 3:34) Every human action is guided by the heart, or the conscience, if you will. The things you protect and defend the most are your treasures. That determines where your heart really is. Read More »

 

Timo Miller

June 20, 2011

 

IF YOU are unfamiliar with the story of Timothy Miller, who was arrested in April for helping a former lesbian flee the country with her child, you can read about it here. Lisa Miller, who is unrelated to Timothy, is the woman who was ordered by Vermont Supreme Court to  turn over her biological child to a former lesbian partner who is neither related to the child or the adoptive parent. Imagine a mother who was taking good care of her child being forced to flee the country to keep her child after a court ordered her to turn over the child to a man who was unrelated to the child and not the adoptive parent. Such a thing would not happen.

Homosexuals are the most intolerant people in America. They are bullies and persecutors.

From the Timothy Miller site:

On Monday morning April 18th of this year, Timothy Miller, or Timo as he is known to most, boarded a flight bound for Washington, D.C. from their mission station in Nicaragua . Traveling with him was his wife JoAnna and their four young children. They were returning to the States for a short break from their service there, as well as to attend a close friend’s wedding.
