Prop. 8 - Homosexuality Debate - Limiting marriage to a man and a woman.

Proposition 8 splits state's voters, polls expose regional fault lines over gay marriage issue By JAKE HENSHAW • The Californian Sacramento Bureau • September 1, 2008.

I have some thoughts to consider.

Homosexuality Debate -- Prop. 8 -- Limiting marriage to a man and a woman.

I know, this subject raises its ugly head every year it seams, but the act just wont go away and causes angst throughout the populace. Everyone has their own feelings and deep rooted beliefs on the subject, including yours truly.

This abnormality of human behavior is criticized in many ways, perversity, deviancy, baseness, vileness, immoral and against God’s law are a few, the latter being the most important.

From my understanding homosexuality is a behavior based in perversity. To equate such a behavior with that which is normal goes against all logic and natural understanding. Those who recognize this behavior as immoral I do not believe are being judgmental but rather seeing it through the eyes of understanding from what is in the Bible. Old and New Testaments decry this vile behavior. You must admit, it is an act against nature, an act that results in terrible consequences.

It doesn’t matter whether you believe or not, it does not change the facts. You can't go out in a rain storm and think that just because you say it is not raining you won't get wet.

People must take responsibility for their actions. To try and convince the public to condone a perverse behavior as being just another lifestyle and that what God states in His Word, is just words with no meaning in present day society, is foolishness on the highest level. What replaces our lack of respect for God, is perverse in every sense.

I do have an enormous question when it comes to this subject; where are all the voices from the ministers, pastors, priests, rabbis, deacons, elders, members of their congregations, etc? They should be in the forefront leading the charge for morality and yet they are all strangely silent, comfortable behind the walls of their churches and synagogues. Why aren’t they, at least, denouncing what the Bible refers to as an abomination in letters to the Editor, or in a blog, or something? Why the incredible silence? Can anyone answer that?

We are witnessing a social and moral slide in our country, a decay in values, promoting the perverse as normal. I’m sure that many will find the following very interesting, it is, at the very least, food for thought. Be sure to take a good look at #'s 24 through 28. Decide for yourself how many of these goals have been and are being realized.

1963.….Communist Goals

The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr., Congressional Record--Appendix, pp. A34-A35 , January 10, 1963 (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69). Herlong was elected as a Democrat to the Eighty-first and to the nine succeeding Congresses (January 3,1949 - January 3,1969).

1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.

The only appropriate way to end this, and since I will be roundly condemned by more then a few, is to take myself out of the picture and simply insert that which can not be argued against in any logical or rational way and let the Bible have the last word:
