It is cognitively and nationally dissonant to propose on one hand the advancement of the homosexualization of your most identified national folk icon and simultaneously bluster with the impending force of a war to defend that same civilization. The homosexualization of your most revered masculinity is the cheapest and stupidest shot you can take at the survival of your own culture and it is really inappropriately timed when you are facing, from threats abroad, the most substantial existential peril the nation has ever known. You can't fight Islamism with gay cowboys.
It is an article of pinnacle stupidity to discover that one of the greatest American Christian martyrs of a generation, Nate Saint, is being portrayed by a homosexual actor in a film intended to inspire Christendom to great acts of moral imitation. This represents a deep failure on the part of evangelists and tellers of the story; the purpose of art is to imitate nature. What precisely is inspirational about the story of Nate Saint if the very person who portrays him in the movie cannot be moved to imitate Mr. Saint? It reduces the entire thing to people pretending, not people being moved. It sends the message that you can look good and not be good. In short, it sends all the wrong advancements. The people who made this movie, the family, etc, should immediately remove it from circulation and sue the actor for fraud. This is Nate Saint, not Pink Nate Goes to Prom. Good night.
These are examples of serious malaise and important failures. They must be reversed, cleansed, and placed once again on good solid grounding. There is a war on people and it is an ideological war. Islamism is seeking to destroy Christendom and the West and we had better start acting like it matters when we assault our own institutions. It is repugnant that the national icons of Missionary zeal and righteous machismo are being mocked and raped on screen by the sneering evil people who have promised, over and over again, to do just that. We have to recognize that those people are the enemies of civilization, the enemies of Christendom, the enemies of the United States of America. Sodomize the Marlboro Man to great music and call this heroism? They want to destroy the world.
Iran, the Islamist suicide bomber nation, has expressed at every turn the perfection of its xenophobia for all nations not itself. This extends to even Islamist nations who do not conform to its vision of Islam. Imagine having tensions with Saudi Arabia because you think the Saudis are not religious enough; that's Iran. But more: they have a long history of employing every piece of technology in their possession for either an overt act of terrorism or the threat thereof. Since we recognize that this will not abate when they simply get bigger bombs, we move into an era where not just Jerusalem market places are under threat but every populated city in the world that is not rabidly Shia Islamist is under threat — Jedda, Tel Aviv, Athens, New York beware.
So now we recognize the existential peril to the United States of America looming on the horizon from an ideological threat. We are the world's most ideological of nations — indeed it is all we are. So, we choose this moment, when nuclear weapons are about to fall into the hands of people who hate us so much they will suicide bomb us, to release a spate of films accosting our own culture at its very root — it's emotional and physical ability to sexually reproduce and defend offspring. Has it occurred to these craven fools in Hollywood that there are precisely no, exactly zero, cultures who have survived their own homosexualization? Zip, zero, nada? (They don't care. They want to fiddle while Rome burns.)
Has it occurred to the great bulk of our people that we need to quit tolerating the forces of internal destruction which work night and day to deconstruct our manliness at a time when our nation faces an absolute need for valor, ferocity, the force of arms, and the defense of the innocent pregnant woman and her children at home? Has it occurred to anyone, anyone at all, that it is immoral to assault masculinity? In a time of war?
For states where there is criminal statute against sodomy, if any remain, prosecutors should file charges against the responsible movie people for publicly inciting illegal and immoral behaviour. Free speech does not cover shouting "fire!" in a theatre.
I am confident that the American people will rise up and reject the xenophobia without and the deconstruction within. The Revolutionary spirit stirs again and desires a renewed American Union, one which rejects immorality as the path of tyranny and has cognition of the linkage between the two. There is a moving, a new eschatology of freedom moving in the heart of the American Revolutionary which will overcome all this. But we'd better get cracking.
Oh. And would some Christian Patriot billionaire please buy up all the studios and fire the people who churn out this evil?

Heard this article the other day from Scott Alexander. (You might know him as Giant Squid in apolyton) It's hilarious and rediclious, though then again, it came from this URL - http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/longman/060120
