Even occasional readers of EmunahSpeak are cognizant of the
fact that it is not a forum for current events.
As the tag line to our masthead proclaims, we are about emunah, tefillah, a little mussar, and a
shmeck of geula. But when an event conspires
to threaten all of the above it becomes a relevant topic and grist for an
iconoclast's jaundiced eye.
There seems to have been a
collective great discovery about a week and half ago that America as we knew it has magically
morphed into America
as we now know it. And our current
knowledge (as in, now know it)
reflects the total moral bankruptcy and degeneration of the ruling class, the
fools that voted them into power, and the two generations that have come of age
since the 1960s that were educated to believe that perversion is the cherry on
the cake of human development.
So where's everyone been anyway?
Why the shock and disbelief?
The immoral diktat that the
Supreme Court of the United
States handed down in lieu of anything that
remotely resembled legal reasoning wasn't
a shot across the bow of decency and the rule of law.
We've been this way before.
The legislatures of eleven states,
including New York
which is home to the largest community of Torah Jews outside of Eretz Yisroel, have
already debased their legitimacy as
representatives of the People by enacting statutes legalizing the same criminal
activity.
And what of the Rainbow Coalition
that was all the rage in New York
about a quarter of a century ago? What
was their agenda?
Color coordination?!
Long before the distinctions
between right and wrong were airbrushed out of human memory, language was turned
inside out to obfuscate the essence of what was being shoved into our eyeballs. And the road leading from that intended obfuscation to the recent Supreme Court
decision is a very short one.
To whit is the word
homophobic. It takes a perfectly
balanced and normal individual, and endows him with some kind of neurosis for
having the temerity to abhor homosexual behavior. Being so afflicted, he is given a place next
to the racist in the Left's pantheon of evil.
The word gay is even a more
successful attempt to cloud and confuse.
Gay implies laughing, back slapping. song, joviality, a pleasant
disposition, optimism, and a friendly smile.
The word homosexual conveys the
truth.
And what exactly is the truth
concerning these people who would stand the entire country on its head for the
right to flaunt their wickedness in the face of those yet uncorrupted? When we strip away the phony terminology, the
anti-discrimination statutes, the craven Leftist writers whose every breath
reeks of political correctness, and two generations of anti-societal
brainwashing we are left with filth.
Their behavior is anti-social and
is selfish in the extreme. And they
leave over nothing for the next generation except for the Aids virus which is
passed on to a fellow deviate and the bills that society is, that in many
cases, forced to pick up for their care.
And not incidentally, their
behavior has been universally proscribed since the sixth day of Creation.
So we repeat: Why the shock and disbelief?
For anyone who has been paying
attention to the terminal elasticity of the moral fiber of the country these
past fifty years or so should understand that Supreme Court's rendition of
Hilchos S'dom is actually the makka b'patish (the final stroke). It's the death knell of what probably was the
grandest attempt at self government in the history of civilization. If the pain seems to be somewhat more acute
at this point in the nation's moral devolution it's only because the knife that
was shoved into decency several decades ago was pushed in a little deeper. But as painful as it may be it remains an old
wound.
So where do we go up from here?
More than twenty-five years ago,
Judge Robert Bork who is one of the greatest legal minds of our time, wrote in
his book, Sodom and Gomorrah, that
the subject of the Supreme Court's recent disgrace was the last red line and that when we crossed it we would go into a
moral free fall.
So where do we go from here?
Up!
We've already reached bottom so
it's the only direction left.
