Bad For America

July 11, 2008 By Mark Draughn 2 Comments

George Kocan has another of his crazy anti-gay posts up at Illinois Review in rebuttal to a Wall Street Journal op-ed. Maybe I should be more upset at such a display of bigotry, but I find Kocan so over-the-top ridiculous that he kind of amuses me.

Let’s take a look:

Abuse of the language for political purposes is bad for America, even if done by courts or other governmental bodies.  A dog is not a cat and calling a cat a dog does not make a dog a cat even if the Supreme Court itself makes such a ruling.

This appeal to proper use of language is laughable from a guy who invented his own word for homosexuality, calling it “SAD”, which he says stands for “Sodomy Attraction Disorder.”

Restructuring society to accommodate personality disorders is bad for America.  Pretending that sodomy is normal and natural is bad for America, as is pretending that Jack Jones down the street is Napoleon or Sally Smith is Cleopatra.  Accepting a lie as a norm of behavior is bad for America.

Two things, George: First of all, since you’re so concerned about the meanings of words, as I’ve explained before, “sodomy” is more than just the man-on-man buttsex that you keep talking about. It includes a lot of other sexual activities that many people find enjoyable.

Second, nobody is saying homosexuality is a norm of behavior—nobody is saying everyone should be doing it—it’s just that most of us don’t see anything evil about it, and most of us really don’t mind when other people do it.

The sodomite infiltration and subversion of the Catholic priesthood, and the subsequent sexual abuse of children, is bad for the Catholic Church as is the infiltration of sodomites into American institutions bad for America.

So all those priests were abusing children because the Catholic Church has been infiltrated by The Gays? Now I’ve heard everything.

Sexual promiscuity is bad for America…

Thus begins a long littany of all the things George Kocan thinks are bad for America. Some of them may even actually exist, but I’ll just cut to the one that really amazes me:

Sexual liberation is bad for America.  Sexual liberation means social and political control.  Canadian Human Rights Commissions criminally prosecute persons who criticize sodomites.  So do various European countries.  Allowing a tiny minority to deny legally Americans the right to speak their minds is bad for America.

I agree that criminal prosecution for bad speech is wrong, but, um, wasn’t prosecuting people for their sexual behavior wrong too? And trying to blame this on gay marriage is crazy.

Allowing a tiny minority to suppress the religious beliefs of others, as is happening in Canada and Europe, is bad for America.

Allowing any people to dictate the sexuality and family structure of others is also bad for America.

In short, sodomy and its practitioners are bad for America.

I doubt that, but I’m pretty sure that delusional nutcases who mistake their personal preferences for laws of the universe are bad for America

    But is a whale a fish?

    In every case, it ultimately depends on why you want to know.

    And if the law calls a cat a dog, it’s a sure bet you’re going to have to get a dog license for your cat.
