Don’t Say Queer
The lamestream media told you:
Republican Mark Foley is a very bad man and a reason for the defeat of the Republican Party at the polls in November. Even though his badness was known for a long time, no action was taken against him. Democrats generally support gayness and Republicans generally do not, though both parties have some.
The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
As near as is known, Mark Foley, an acknowledged homosexual member of Congress, has been found guilty of writing words that are not approved of, but has committed no conduct that would be considered against the law, with underage male pages serving in Congress.
The consequences for using unapproved “salacious†words will appear in the Uninvited Ombudsman’s next book, his 11th, on the limits of free speech, currently entitled, “Bomb Jokes for Airports.â€
The Wash., D.C.-based National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association’s guide to language for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community advocates against using the word “homosexual†to describe homosexuals, preferring the terms gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender, or simply GLBT. Older terms such as “fag†and “queer†are on the hate list and should never be used, the guide says.
Homosexuals may call each other fags and queers though, following the same hypocritical rules governing the “N†word for black and somewhat black people. Under these duplicitous guidelines, if you are a member of a group, you can use words that, if used by a non-member, constitute a hate crime. (NLGJA says gays have “reclaimed” these words as “self-affirming umbrella terms” but they remain “extremely offensive” for others to use.)
Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction novels from the 1950s and 1960s often speak of things seeming queer, in the normal meaning of that word. Modern writers though have totally abandoned the word due to pressure from GLBTs (sometimes pronounced “gullbuttsâ€).
The classic Christmas song “Deck The Halls” includes, “Don we now our gay apparel,†and the Flintstones theme says, “We’ll have a gay old time,” and are sung with gay abandon, though how much longer this may be acceptable is uncertain. No new material using gay or queer were known to be in the works at press time.
While the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law,†regarding free speech, social engineers operating under political correctness have no such restriction. Some observers believe social pressure to be a far more pernicious and overarching set of rules than anything Congress can devise.
More than 400 things you’re not allowed to say are currently in the draft for “Bomb Jokes for Airports.†The book is expected out in 2007, but sometimes these things take longer than you expect.
Nearly every day, newspapers have stories about people in trouble somewhere for saying something. Look for it, it’s there.
