The account is still suspended, so I assume it's for good.<br /><br />I actually came across your own blog while searching for some nonsense I'd read while at Newsbusters. My second in that run of articles on them was originally going to be about how they preach "balancing" the media, but don't practice it.

I've just ...Well said, and thanks for reading.<br /><br />I've just been checking out <a href="http://lefthooktheblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">your blog</a>, and you've some good stuff there. As I was reading the recent posts I realized why your user name seemed so familiar—the comments on NewsBusters articles. I always enjoy going to sites like that and finding the one person who doesn't mindlessly go along with the nonsense. Somehow I'm not surprised to see that your account was suspended—that's about the level of integrity and respect for opposing views I've come to expect from them. Was it a permanent suspension?James Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213045233649924060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-45828217067311189.post-40923708858835414032011-07-13T15:41:53.952-04:002011-07-13T15:41:53.952-04:00Weigel:
"Marriage... is a social institution...Weigel:<br /><br />"Marriage... is a social institution that is older than the state and that precedes the state. The task of a just state is to recognize and support this older, prior social institution; it is not to attempt its redefinition. To do the latter involves indulging the totalitarian temptation that lurks within all modern states: the temptation to remanufacture reality. The American civil-rights movement was a call to recognize moral reality; the call for gay marriage is a call to reinvent reality to fit an agenda of personal willfulness."<br /><br />That "reality," of course, being that homosexual marriages haven't been officially recognized. In the real world, though, homosexual marriages have existed, sans recognition, for as long as hetero ones. Weigel insists advocates of marriage rights for homosexuals are trying to "remanufacture reality," but from the perspective I just outlined, extending marriage rights to homosexuals is simply bringing the law in line with reality. And, in spite of Weigel's idiotic assertion to the contrary, it does address a moral wrong--the state's denial, to gay couples, of the many rights that accompany marriage.<br /><br />Weigel's assertion that gay marriage advocates are the heirs of Bull Connor reveal him, in any event, to be a moral vacuum--the pundit equivalent of a psychopath, with no real sense of right or wrong.<br /><br />This is an interesting blog, James. I just came across it today. Keep it up.classicliberal2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17960371221876522276noreply@blogger.com
