			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, Republicans For Family Values has already attracted the attention of some homosexual activist bloggers. <a href="http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2007/11/pete-spreads-hi.html">Jeremy Hooper of the &#8220;Good As You&#8221; blog</a> wishes us success, albeit with his usual bitter twist. Thanks, Jeremy, sort of&#8230;.</p>
<p>Hooper writes on learning of RFFV (emphasis added):</p>
<blockquote><p>We actually couldn&#8217;t be happier! After all, it takes a village to make the &#8220;pro-family&#8221; social conservatives and their political heroes look <strong>mean-spirited, discriminatory, and out-of-touch with American ideals</strong>. Thanks to Peter&#8217;s new foray, we&#8217;ll have another voice who&#8217;ll highlight just how crazy we&#8217;d all have to be in this country to even consider another president who caters to the <strong>true radical extremists of this world</strong>: those who have hijacked morality and placed themselves on a moral pedestal to which homosexuals and Democrats can never reach.</p></blockquote>
<p>Love the subtlety. I suppose this is Jeremy&#8217;s version of re-stating the liberal bumper-sticker message: <strong>&#8220;Mean People Suck.&#8221;</strong> Half of liberal argumentation comes down to that. Yep, because we assert that homosexual behaivor is always wrong, we&#8217;re &#8220;mean,&#8221; discriminatory, and &#8212; oh yes &#8211; truly radical extremists. Ouch. Maybe Hooper should have named his site, &#8220;Better Than You,&#8221; to reflect the escalating hubris of the &#8216;GLBT&#8217; movement.</p>
<p>I wonder, can the Left make a case that proud homosexuality is compatible with America&#8217;s Judeo-Christian tradition without resorting to name-calling and petty insults? (Or maybe they prefer to attempt to make a rational case for overturning our religiously-informed sexual values system.) Calling someone mean or extreme for holding a traditional, <a href="http://www.robgagnon.net">even Biblical</a>, position &#8212; e.g., keeping marriage as man-woman &#8212; does not cut it as an argument.</p>
<p>Historically, we mean-spirited, extremist, right-wing discriminators have a basis for asserting that state-sanctioned homosexual relationships and legalized &#8220;same-sex marriage&#8221; are a revolutionary departure from Western legal tradition. Ditto for &#8221;civil rights&#8221; based on homosexual &#8220;orientation&#8221; (itself a novel concept, historically speaking).  On what basis do homosexual activists label defenders of our Judeo-Christian tradition as &#8216;extreme&#8217;?</p>
<p>Have at it, Jeremy.  Or just keep calling us mean and extreme. That seems to be working for you. &#8211;<em>Peter LaBarbera</em></p>
