Bending over for killer giants?
WorldNetDaily has an amazing sense of priorities about what constitutes the biggest news. Today I learned that the most important thing happening is not Hurricane Rita, but the fact that American corporations have joined forces with homosexuals to, to, I guess to "cuddle" (probably code language of some sort for declaring war on America's values), and that radical elites including the gay agenda are taking over the country. The following lineup of today's news stories (as of 2:45 p.m. today) will give an idea of what WND considers America's most important events: Only after the above does WND get around to what a lot of Americans might consider bigger news than corporate giants bending over for gays: THE MEAN SEASONNot sure how reliably that last book links killer storms to "land for peace," but I guess I should be thankful that the killer storms aren't linked to sodomy! Or (worse yet), gay-friendly corporations. (Yet.) But let's just think about this for a minute.... Don't a lot of these "gay-friendly companies" do business in Texas? MORE: Don't get me wrong here; not only am I all for free speech, but I'm sure that somewhere in there, WND has made some good points about ridiculous excesses of gay activists and the gay movement in general. But this stuff is so shrill, so singlemindedly obsessive, that it's almost comical. I'm honestly surprised not to see more articles linking Hurricane Rita to "sodomy." I guess I'll have to be patient; it took them a couple of days to get caught up with the Katrina sodomy connection. Odd that there's nothing about Cindy Sheehan either.... She's been so busy lately, you'd think they could sandwich her in there between one of the sodomy links. (Just a thought....) UPDATE: Hurricane Rita is now a Category 5: HURRICANE RITA TROPICAL CYCLONE UPDATE UPDATE (09/22/05): As of today, Hurricane Rita has all but swept gay corporate cuddling WND's front page. Based on a tip from a commenter below, I blame Ipods. posted by Eric on 09.21.05 at 02:28 PM

Eric - Just a few posts down you rip the media for hysteria re: storms ... now you rip WND for not being quite hysterical enough ... hmmmm. What is the Proper Hysteria Level? ;) Jeff Brokaw · September 21, 2005 06:06 PM You got it right; the proper level is acheived when hysteria becomes hysterical. Less threatening that way. There wasn't anything funny about last night's news, but then, they weren't blaming Israel's land for peace policies, or sodomy, or even Bush. (Perhaps I should take the MSM less seriously, though.) Steven, I think WND should hire you as a writer, and give you totally free rein. More fair and balanced to have a token Gnostic aboard. Eric Scheie · September 21, 2005 06:36 PM They cannot be that bothered by the companies cosying up to gays. WND advertises the Ipod Nano! nic · September 21, 2005 06:56 PM Dear Eric: Thank you! I could be a Dawn-like Jehovanist-style Gnostic upholding the tight bondage and holy self-discipline of Total Commitmenr Marriage. As far as economics is concerned, and politics, this whole thing proves what I've been saying for some time and which contradicts the whole Marxist paradigm regarding this, i.e., that it is capitalists, not government, who are the best allies of homosexuals. It is capitalists who, on their own intiative, hire and promote homosexual men and women and treat them and their relationships as equal in value to their heterosexual counterparts. It is government that refuses to recognize homosexual marriages or even civil unions. It is government that forbids homosexuals to fight for their country in the military, or forces them to lie in order to do so. It was government that, until very recently, passed laws forbidding homosexual relationships altogether. And yet the neo-Marxists and pragmatists in the Democratic party, and certain homosexual organizations that are no more than fronts for that party, that vilify capitalists and demand more and ever more government. Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal Steven Malcolm Anderson the Lesbian-worshipping man's-man-admiring myth-based egoist · September 22, 2005 01:55 AM Never mind all that: Does Hurricane Rita look like a fetus? Enquiring minds want to know. (Also, someone needs to tell these clowns that the "gay agenda" is only a threat to America when it's emailed in Microsoft Project format.) Raging Bee · September 22, 2005 08:51 AM Ah, but the foolish capitalists will sell the activists the rope the latter will use to hang them! Eric Scheie · September 22, 2005 09:01 AM All too true. Steven Malcolm Anderson the Lesbian-worshipping man's-man-admiring myth-based egoist · September 22, 2005 03:22 PM LOL, interesting turn of phrase: Greg · September 22, 2005 11:13 PM |

The style of WorldNetDaily has always been interesting, even while I oppose much of what many of their writers advocate. They at least recognize that it is the spiritual, and therefore the sexual, rather than the economic, that is most important, even if they see it from a point of view opposed to my own, i.e., Jehovanist rather than Gnostic. Perhaps I should read WorldNetDaily more often.
