The rebel with a cause, Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice, Judge Roy Moore from South Alabama has once again come under the scrutiny of the politically correct. Judge Moore became nationally famous, as you will recall, when he insisted on having The Ten Commandments hanging in his courtroom when he was a judge in Etowah County. He has gained additional fame with his conviction that prayer should be returned to the classroom and other public places. Now Judge Moore is again in the spotlight concerning his written decision in a child custody case where the mother was an accused lesbian. While a nine-judge panel voted unanimously to award custody to the father, without regard to the homosexuality issue, Judge Moore proceded to write his opinion with emphasis on the mother's homosexual behavior.
While I believe that Judge Moore could have restrained himself somewhat in this particular case, due to the fact that the issue of homosexuality was less important than assuring that the child was in the better parental care, I must also commend Judge Moore for his very timely crusade for Christian morality on constitutional issues. Over the past two or three decades we Americans have become so bemeagered by political correctness that we have allowed our constitutional rights and obligations to be trampled by special interest minority groups who seek not only to impose their views on the majority, but to endoctrinate and solicit our children to accept and participate in their way of life.
The problem we are continually faced with is the constitutional provision which calls for the separation of Church and State. Our founding fathers, I believe, had an almost unbelievable understanding of the problems they left behind in England and the future problems our nation would encounter in its proposed long existence as a government by and for the People. They also had the uncanny insight that a nation which exists for the common good of all its citizens had to be founded on the principles of Christian morality.
Our constitution is imbedded in Christian moral values, and so it should be! After all, the people who settled here were Christians. But, even more important than that is the fact that every major religion in the entire world has the same basic humanitarian values as our own Christian values. Christianity, Judaism, Budhism, Hinduism, even the pagan religion of the American Indians, all are founded in the moral principles regarding Good vs. Evil, or right vs. wrong. Special interst groups who seek to stiffle our constitutional provisions and the laws of our Land are, more often than not, flying in the face of the principles of all of these religious moralities. Moreover, they seek to infringe on our sense of what is right and impose on us what we know, morally, to be wrong.
Homosexuals have made great strides in recent years in the promotion of their lifestyle as an "alternate lifestyle", and they have gained cultural acceptance in society by calling themselves by less offensive names such as "gays". They play to the sympathy of normal citizens by expressing a desire to marry, raise children together and recieve institutional benefits such as insurance, social security and other benefits normally thought to be entitlements of heterosexual married partners. They have even tried to prove that homosexuality is biologically normal behavior. Some scientific studies have reported that homosexuals have a gene which causes them to be attracted to members of the same sex above those of the opposite sex.
I suggest that we should stop using such politically correct names as "gays" and "alternate lifestyle" to describe homosexual relationships. Let's start calling them what they are---- Guys that like to stick their penises in other guys' anuses. It doesn't sound like such a normal way of life if you call it what it is, does it? You can make up your own description of lesbians; I wont try to be too graphic. My wife says I was already too graphic, but I just wanted to make a point. My children and grandchildren already know that anyway. I'll give you 10 to one yours do too!
The fact is that homosexuality is NOT a normal way of life, cultrually or biologically. In fact it is most certainly detrimental behavior to society and our moral family values. Most homosexuals do not have only one sex partner, but engage in orgies and multiple-partner relationships. Consequently they spread sexually transmitted diseases, expecially blood-born diseases like AIDS, herpes and hepatitis, at phenomenal rates. As a former high school and college teacher with a Master of Education degree in biology, I am not out of my realm of expertise when I assure you that there is nothing natural about homosexual intercourse. No scientific study which has been done to date, either biological or sociological, has ever produced the unbiased conclusion that homosexuality is natural or psychologically beneficial to anyone. All studies which have even made the insinuation of normality have proved to be bias and scientifically inconclusive.
So, before you pass judgement on Judge Roy Moore for jumping a little over the line with his written opinion in this case, take a good look at him and what he stands for. He stands for basic moral values which, not only were our nation founded on, but are irreplaceable if our nation is not to fragment into chaos and humble acceptance of the desires of every ill-guided special interest group that seeks acceptance in our culture. Prayer in school, and other institutions, can be done without shoving Christianity down the throats of participants. Pray to any God you like! If you don't believe in a God, fine! Pray for the same moral values encompassed by all major religions. If you don't like those values you are going to be a social outsider anyway, and an undesireable participant in social activities, maybe even to the point of criminal behavior. No, I'm not suggesting that homosexuality should be a crime. But, I am suggesting that it is an unacceptable social behavior and should not be legally accepted as an alternate lifestyle or even as culturally acceptable behavior. There is no way that two homosexuals of either sex can produce a natural child, and there are no circumstances which can allow them to have a wholesome, beneficial impact on society or family. Judge Roy Moore apparently made his decision and wrote his written opinion with those facts in mind. Let's applaud him. And let's not allow the media nor his peers to chop his head off because of their politically correct attitudes.
