Chattanoogans should be greatly alarmed by the 3/20/04 article "Don't Go Back to the Nazi State," in which a thoroughly disgruntled homosexual sympathizer blasts basically Christian heterosexuals for their "ignorance" -- an ironic accusation in a piece that clearly shows no regard for the truth.

The author writes, "While I can understand their apprehension to have a Starbucks, upscale clothing, good music, and nicely decorated homes, what I cannot abide is the total arrogance and ignorance with which these people PUBLICALY (sic) display their own ignorance of gay men and women."

Clearly, by dismissing any culture other than his own, the author shows no display of ignorance. He's buying into the homosexual agenda, so of course everyone around him is inferior.

The phrase "moral standard" is being thrown around mercilessly by advocates of the homosexual agenda. Their favorite claim is that morality shouldn't be forced -- which only leaves immorality to rule society. The piece goes on to attack a 12-year-old girl for her religious beliefs -- claiming that her Christianity makes her a vehicle of hatred, and that she should be taught other things, referring to academics. The girl knows that her God is the creator of all things she could ever learn in school...the creator of even the homosexuals that denounce Him. Who is this man to declare that children not be exposed to religion? To tell our elected officials not to do their job of carrying out the will of the people and cower to the demands of a select few? (This "few" meaning homosexuals -- who have mean incomes of over 60% higher than the average American.) To use his own words, his claims are "a travesty of what the founding fathers had in mind."

Most alarming of all is the statement "I would see to it that they were put on public trial for their personal and religious beliefs..." referring to those who oppose homosexuality. In the United States of America, this is a declaration of war. The day Americans are put on trial for their religious beliefs will truly be the end of a brilliant era; the death warrant for democracy. The society this man is calling for will be more evil than Communism, for the people will be chained forever to an agenda that crosses the line between life and death.
