Our favourite PM after Ted “Bachelor” Heath, call me Dave “married?” Cameron has finally proven to us oiks what a total tw*t he truly is. is firstly pushing gay marriage down the throats of the British public who may or may not give a damn these days. However being the weasel of man he is (apologies to all the Mustelidae family) could not care less what the public thinks.
Now he’s flown across the pond where’s he’s been gobbling on Obams’s Weiner. The fact that our version of Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling is best buds with his new bunk buddy Barry “Kenyan” Soetoro is well no real surprise I mean they have so much in common they are both married to ugly women ones a horse the others a wookie although I’m not sure which is which. One attended a madrassa the other a private school or was that both of them, one was was influenced by the work of Karl Marx the other by Groucho. One is black the other wants to be.
Well Dave we are not impressed and you have made your lover Clegg jealous wait until you return home he is so going to sulk.
Mog Fuhrer and Oz,
Don’t know if you’ve seen the course David Gordon is doing for the Mises Academy, on the neocons.
There’s a blurb by Llew Rockwell about it here https://academy.mises.org/2012/03/spring-courses/
I’m seriously tempted. David is a great lecturer, his jokes are appalling (in a clean way – Ger Casey says he’s outgunned by David’s Jokes), he’s a fan of good, old fashioned professional wrestling and he acts absent minded: Rothbard was totally impressed by his intelligence and philosophical skills…
I’m curious to hear what he has to say about Leo Strauss too.
Luton Ian I shall read that with interest.
“Is Dave a complete…”
yes
I’d spell it with an “A”
I nearly fell off my chair laughing. Very funny, thanks.
Glad you liked it. All political figures should be ridiculed from time to time.
From Swanky Yankey since she has posting issues….
Kitler: Thanks for my various funny breathings and noises of amusement. I do so cherish them.
I agree with Maggie Gallagher (the pro-marriage-for-man-and-woman activist): I think that gay marriage is ultimately not about legitimizing marriage for gays but about de-legitimizing marriage because in the end, everyone can do it (gays, big love types, threesomes, fivesomes, the goat named Henry, etc.). It’s a way of driving a stake through the heart of marriage.
Feel sorry for the children, never mind the lost or broken hearts of adults. There IS something natural about ‘the natural family’, even if said ‘natural family’ requires lots of societal/religious supports, and above all the commitment of the woman (who is apparently Nature’s slave, drawing water and chopping wood when everyone else has gone to sleep).
In that sense: I am SO glad not to be a ‘woman’. Or: a mother. Same thing in this context, really.
Personally, if I lost my husband for whatever reason, I doubt that I would marry again. Not that someone wouldn’t have me. I have reason to believe that someone would. No: I wouldn’t marry because I don’t want the State to have a say or a claim in my intimate affairs. It’s nobody’s bloody business who I choose to set up house with or not. Society has no stake: I have no offspring, nor ever shall. And I want matters of the heart to remain that way: for me to adjudicate, not some Leftist creep in a lawyer’s gown.
Well enough on gay ithues I’m just taking the pith out of Dave because he deserves it.
Guten tag mein katzenführer,
I’m going cover gay marriage sometime soon at my place. Personally, I wonder what possesses some gays to want to enter into an institution fostered by churches which have been enthusiastically into poof-persecution for thousands of years. Even though half of them are closet queers anyway. In most Western nations, the modern form of civil union provides for superannuation, power of attorney and inheritance rights indistinguishable from those of marriage. Civil unions are actually preferred over marriage by many straight couples in any case. I personally know a few gays in long-term de facto relationships, and none of them care a hoot about marriage.
Adam Bandt (Australia’s sole Greens MHR) last year wanted to put gay marriage on the radar, and succeeded in getting MPs to canvass their electorates to gauge public opinion. The response wasn’t at all what he wanted: the overwhelming majority of Australians do not want any changes to the Marriage Act. Poor Joolya has painted herself into a corner on this issue, as she has already made public statements to the effect that changes to the Marriage Act will not be part of Labor policy. Now she’s under extreme pressure from the Left faction to reverse her position, and the Catholic-dominated Right faction to keep it right where it is. Couldn’t happen to a nicer (unmarried) person 😆
Ozboy the whole gay marriage issue in the UK is not driven by any equality agenda but one of vindictive spite. The wish to tearthe eyes out of the christian church which they see as having oppressed them. It is revenge they seek by lining up a few high profile court cases against specifically the Catholic church when of course a gay couple will be refused married by them.
Dave whom I’m sure is most assuredly not at all gay honest well I’m sort of maybe sureish is doing this because he knows he can ignore the will of his party backbenchers and the public simply because he can. In this he is probably correct so the UK will have gay marriage foisted on it.
I’ll pre-empt my own article by referencing Damian Thompson’s latest thread on the topic. The problem isn’t having two definitions of the word marriage, it’s about what happens when two gays show up at the door of Our Lady of Perpetual Chastity Catholic Church, start waving UK human rights law in Father O’Flaherty’s face and demand he tie their knot. Who’s he going to piss off – the PM or the pope? (the latter being rather better connected).
I think the current stink is more about politics than religion, but they’ll take any opportunity they can to embarrass the church along the way – all grist to their mill.
Ozboy which is my point I have been making all week on this issue, now I’m an Atheist praise the Lord however I do believe that religion should be allowed to be freely practiced unhindered. This is a cynical attempt to destroy it. Notice how their vehemence is not aimed at Islam or Judaism this tells you it’s personal it’s Peter Tatchell versus the Pope.
I think this is very unwise and is going to invite such a backlash against the gay community they may severely come to regret it. I know Cameron’s conservatives and Cleggs Libdems will at the voting booth.
We’ve got a bloke down here by the name of John-Michael Howson – now in his mid-70s. Former Hollywood gossip reporter and all that. Biggest fairy in Australian show business. He also wrote and starred in my favourite childhood TV show so I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for him. Very thoughtful man, long-term partner and – get this – conservative Catholic and opponent of gay marriage. Which may be a lot more common than you’d think. Point is, you can’t characterize all gays as being of one political, religious or any other kind of mindset. But the most vocal and activist gays will come to be seen as stereotypical if the MSM goes on treating this as a revenue-generating circus.
Well you have the activist gay men who are pursuing their revenge agenda, I mean obviously not everyone is or cares about marriage in a church, they are happy with civil partnerships and to be fair that grants them the same legal rights as a married couple.
Like i say this is about revenge not rights.
