The unholy union of politics and entertainment is nothing new. Politicians have been using entertainers to add a little luster to their own stars for nearly as long as politics and entertainment have existed. But, over the last few decades, and especially the last ten years, there has been a change in the relationship between those two seemingly disparate worlds. Certainly, the attitude of the entertainers has evolved. Rather than being supportive of the nation and mirroring its people and their values, the tinsel town of recent decades is nothing less than a virus, a reoccurring herpes blister on the face of the body politic.

The Hollywood that once sent its best off to fight for the United States (Clark Gable, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Alan Ladd, Robert Taylor, John Ford, Frank Capra, William Wyler, George Stevens, and John Huston) has now mated with leftist ideology to spawn the likes of Michael Moore.

The Andrews Sisters, dubbed the “Sweethearts of Armed Forces Radio”, dedicated much of the 1940’s to supporting the troops and inspiring the folks back home to buy war bonds. Today we have Lady Gaga and her personal crusade to make the US military more gay friendly.

Sure, Conservatives do have something of a toehold in the entertainment world but nothing to match the bulkhead that has been built up by the Left. Why is that? Granted, the arts crowd does swing to the left but there is something about liberal politicians that lead them to glom onto celebrities like a teenager trying to get an autograph on a napkin or, even worse, a groupie trying to get backstage.  read more »

Many in the homosexual community sneer when anyone mentions a "gay agenda".  They claim that there is no such thing. There clearly is a gay agenda, even if its not easily discernable or even concisely articulated.. We see proponents of the lifestyle calling for things like equal rights (who can argue against that) and even marriage and adoption for gay couples. But a little digging into the gay rights movement will give you the bigger picture of what same sex marriage advocates are ultimately hoping to achieve. This is a movement that only begins with equal employment opportunities and protections but ultimately wants to reshape our institutions and our very society.

In 1972, the National Coalition of Gay Organizations drew up a “Gay Rights Platform” in Chicago. Among the notable goals of the platform was to seek to “repeal all legislative provisions that restrict the sex or number of persons entering into a marriage unit; and the extension of legal benefits to all persons who cohabit regardless of sex or numbers”. In other words, the right for homosexuals to marry is simply the first step in the eventual destruction of the institution of marriage. And this is not a position that has been dropped over the last three decades. The notion of opening up marriage to any number of people is still pointed to time and time again by gay rights advocates. If the gay movement gets their way anyone can marry any number of other people, regardless of gender and (we will soon see) of age and the taxpayers will be left to cover the cost to society of these unstable and harmful unions. Imagine, a “marriage” of 4,5,6 men and women, all suing one another for alimony, child custody and support, and everything else that can come from a nasty divorce. Now imagine that extrapolated across the country and throughout the court system.  read more »

If the recent Gallup poll is to be believed, that the majority of Americans now support the right of same-sex couples to marry, one has to wonder why the change in public opinion. Another recent Gallup poll might shed some light on why the public might be more open to same-sex unions and why they are being misled. According to Gallup, Americans now believe that 25% of the population is gay or lesbian. This number is incredibly inflated!

The classic study on the subject was done by Alfred Kinsey in the 1960's. Kinsey proposed that 10% of men between the ages of 16 and 55 had been "more or less excusively homosexual" for at least three years. Gay activists jumped on this study to show, in their minds anyway, the existence of a sizeable gay community. But, Kinsey's study was never meant to count the number of homosexuals but to simply illustrate human sexual activity. But, the activists saw this as a great tool and the 10% figure stuck for decades.

But, even that percentage is now thought to be inflated. According to demographer Gary Gates, based on an extensive review of population based surveys, the number of self-identifying gays and lesbians is about 9 million people, or 3.8% of the population.

Why this disconnect between reality and perception?  Its the result of a massive propaganda campaign directed at the American public on two fronts: the media and the public school system.

The media has been attempting to normalize the gay lifestyle for decades. I can remember, as a very young child, an episode of Phil Donohue where his guests were two very normal looking gay men. They could have been pulled from General Casting by requesting "two all-American jock-types". They were there to dispel all the "lies" about gays. They are just like us, except in the bedroom! Also, the audience was comprised entirely of young children: teens, tweens and other impressionable sub-groups. That was nearly 30 years ago. In the meantime, we've had Will and Grace, Ellen, Glee, programs on MTV and VH1 dedicated to advancing the normalization of homosexuality and all aimed at the young. Sure, you're going to think that the world is gay if that is all you ever see when you turn on the television!

When the kids aren't sitting in front of the tv, they are being indoctrinated at school. Let's start at the top with President Obama's pick as the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, Kevin Jennings. Mr Jennings, who founded the Gay and Lesbian Independent School Teachers Education Network, wrote the forwad to a book entitled “Queering Elementary Education.” This book is a collection of essays by different authors who supported teaching young children about homosexuality. Mr. Jennings’ foreword explains why he thinks it is important to start educating children about homosexuality as early as activist-educators can get away with doing so.

You can go here to see many examples of the prevalence of the homosexual propganda being foisted on our children every day at school.

The bottom line here is that we are seeing our society reshaped, degraded, by 3.8% of the population and their supporters. They are waging a war against over 90% of the public and they are winning by propaganda and misinformation.
