Melanie Philips - All Kinds of Crazy

Melanie Philips

Yes, gays have often been the victims of prejudice. But they now risk becoming the new McCarthyites*

*Note, any opinions expressed in above link may not be the opinions of the OP.

Link above won't add hits to her article.

For, mad as this may seem, schoolchildren are to be bombarded with homosexual references in maths, geography and science lessons as part of a Government-backed drive to promote the gay agenda.

In geography, for example, they will be told to consider why homosexuals move from the countryside to cities. In maths, they will be taught statistics through census findings about the number of homosexuals in the population.

In science, they will be directed to animal species such as emperor penguins and sea horses, where the male takes a lead role in raising its young.

Alas, this gay curriculum is no laughing matter. Absurd as it sounds, this is but the latest attempt to brainwash children with propaganda under the camouflage of education. It is an abuse of childhood.

She's the acceptable face of homophobia and islamophobia in the UK.

Oh, a Daily Mail journalist? Gotcha.

Gaviscon, you are a repository of images... any situation, any time.

Relevance to Atheism?

Zillah

Homophobic, racist, evolution-sceptic, global warming denial, vaccine sceptic, pro-war, anti-NHS, pro-intelligent design...

Ugh, she's a perfect storm of stupidity and intolerance. Thoroughly unpleasant.

What do you really think? :pac:

Just highlighting the fact that their are lunatics this side of the atlantic too, and we should be aware of the angles that they use.

The bed and breakfast hoteliers Peter and Hazelmary Bull — who were recently sued for turning away two homosexuals who wished to share a bedroom — were but the latest religious believers to fall foul of the gay inquisition merely for upholding Christian values.

Catholic adoption agencies were forced to shut down after they refused to place children with same-sex couples. Marriage registrars were forced to step down for refusing to officiate at civil unions.

Christian street preacher Dale McAlpine was charged with making threatening, abusive or insulting remarks for saying homosexuality was a sin to passers-by in Workington, Cumbria. In the event, the case against him was dropped and he won a police apology and compensation.

It seems that just about everything in Britain is now run according to the gay agenda.

Oh noes, she can't run up to people in the street and call homosexuals evil any more...
damn gay agenda

Perhaps the cast of Scrubs should pay her a visit?

If we are talking about the same woman than she is anything but stupid, sadly. Seen her a couple of times on Question Time.

Filled with vitriol? Manipulative? A nasty piece of work? Yes to all.

But she's clearly educated and articulate, just not a nice person. I always find people like that confusing, especially in media. I would have thought that if you were educated and smart enough you should be able to see things as they are.

But people like her, O'Rielly, and that moron they had on question time to defend the Israeli flotilla raid from some other idiotic right wing tabloid really confound me. All intelligent and well educated but without even the tiniest since of morality or ethics.

The Daily Mail - The only brand of toilet paper that leaves more sh*t on you than you started with.

I think O'Reilly is a decent bloke

He just lets his faith cloud his judgement and his temper can get the better of him.

I don't buy it. He's too smart not to know that it's all BS. But he also knows what his audience wants to hear, and that he provides.

Money and influence I guess. Money and influence.
