What a great title.
I bet I shocked some readers when I titled a post, Obama Says God Bless Sodom. The “S” word is supposed to be passé, offensive, and just plain mean. I call things by their names. I don’t dress them up in PC or neutral terms designed to obscure what’s really going on.
I’m glad to see someone else dare to use the word Sodom. An excerpt of Star Parker’s latest column, “Sodom in the nation’s capital”:
“According to DC’s HIV/AIDS office, three percent of the local population has HIV or AIDS. The Administrator of this office notes that this HIV/AIDS incidence is “…higher than West Africa…on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya.” And the principal way that HIV is transmitted continues to be through male homosexual activity.
“Amidst this dismal picture, the DC City Council, perhaps on the theory that serving up another glass of wine is the way to help a drunk, is scheduled to vote on December 1 to legalize same sex marriage in America’s capital city.
“Looking at realities in Washington, DC should make clear why George Washington said “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
“But the America that our first president had in mind was very different from the vision of our DC government officials.
“George Washington’s America was one in which the point of freedom is to allow Man to rise to what he can become. To do this, the greatest challenge he faces is conquering himself. To rise above his baser instincts, to rise above the many temptations that lead him astray. And to achieve this end, as Washington said, ‘religion and morality are indispensable supports.’
“In left wing America, of which the DC government is a poster child, freedom means to indulge every instinct that the tradition and religion of George Washington would have us overcome.
“Where does it lead? Well, look at DC.”
It’s not a pretty sight. Read the rest.
