Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host
“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
A Wicker Basket
Comes the time when it’s later
and onto your table the headwaiter
puts the bill, and very soon after
rings out the sound of lively laughter—
Picking up change, hands like a walrus,
and a face like a barndoor’s,
and a head without any apparent size,
nothing but two eyes—
So that’s you, man,
or me. I make it as I can,
I pick up, I go
faster than they know—
Out the door, the street like a night,
any night, and no one in sight,
but then, well, there she is,
old friend Liz—
And she opens the door of her cadillac,
I step in back,
and we’re gone.
She turns me on—
There are very huge stars, man, in the sky,
and from somewhere very far off someone hands me a slice of apple pie,
with a gob of white, white ice cream on top of it,
and I eat it—
Slowly. And while certainly
they are laughing at me, and all around me is racket
of these cats not making it, I make it
in my wicker basket.

Way to own the libs. He’s not Cardi B, but this old fart is still not singing from his hymnal and you can’t make me. I swear to God, we’re living in Idiocracy. Welcome to Costco, I love you.
I’m as heterosexual as they get, but I have to admit that this gay guy has an appeal.
Ricki Rebel can sing anything he wants. He can wear anything he likes. He is also free to chooses to be a sodomite or a catamite. However, he identifies with a segment of the population who are degenerate.
He is free to vote for whoever he wishes and make silly parody videos for his preferred candidate. It does not make him an ally, for he fails to understand the importance of wholesomeness, preserving the innocence of children and hasn’t a clue about traditional cultural.
When people who openly advocate the “gay” lifestyle and wish to teach your children, prepare your food and preach about their brand of justice, you have turned me away. While I think it is barbaric when other cultures persecute or, even kill homosexuals, it is their culture and we have no business interfering. It is the height of arrogance (and I wouldn’t doubt a cause for rejection of “American values”) for a nation to run about the globe telling everyone else what should or should not be acceptable in their culture.
It appears to be that same fag as before, that the host is some how (smfh) infatuated with, and I won’t view it. I don’t see the point.
cheaply purchased minds
I can get by without the approval of the queers and other sexual degenerates too.
Talk talk talk talk talk talk (insert something meaningful here), talk talk talk talk talk.
Repeat
I’ve been to drag queen shows at the bars, and had a good time. It doesn’t mean I want them reading to kids at the library, but there are places and times for things.
And we cannot win elections with straight curmudgeon. I can grumble about kids on the lawn with the best of them. In a month I’ll be fully eligible for curmudgeonship. But the gals especially like a little lighthearted fun, and they tend to not be as worried about gayness.
And really, after four years of being beaten over the head by the antiTrumpers, a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants. Yeah, I can dig it, man.
Sure, all the cool kids are doing it. Bill in TN is right, it’s really not worth all the chatter, but just goes to show how easily “conservatives” are co-opted. You will be assimilated.
I agree, Gordon. A long time ago, I think I remember going to a drag queen show in Las Vegas….Frank Marino, if I remember right. It was kinda fun, entertaining, and I’ve never believed that my presence there detracted one bit from my being 100% heterosexual.
This kid’s video is worth a watch. Yeah, he’s queer….really, really queer. So what? If you listen to the guy, he makes some very good points regarding why a gay guy would want to support Trump. I’ve got my reasons for my support of Trump, which Ricky doesn’t list, but his reasons don’t detract from my reasons, and vice versa. As they say, it is (or should be) a big tent and all.
Disappointed that my comment that should have been posted shortly after Bunny – after 7am Eastern time is not visible.
Guess I’ll live and die as an old conservative crumudge but anything RINO, from lying d-bags in political office to fairies and queens infiltrating the causes of the Right to infect the up and coming is, to me, a death knell for conservative causes.
If you have any kind of a brain you do know that if and when conservatives embrace the demonic LBGTQ faggotry some faggy darling will arise within the party, and because of the damned thing’s ‘diversity and uniqueness’, will be selected, groomed and installed as a conservative leader and spokesman.
If these aberrations want to vote for conservatives that’s fine, we’ll take the support, but for God’s sake don’t court or encourage them or support their illnesses for a handful of votes. Try to remember that despite what you might see or hear in society, God is in control and He has, will and does support those who love Him.
A gentle reminder to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ-we are ALL made in God’s image. We are ALL His creations. He knitted us within our mother’s womb and has numbered our days with His plan for our lives. We are commanded to love our neighbors as we love ourselves, whether they are like us or not. Even Jesus hung out with lepers, whores, and thieves. He loved them all and welcomed them into his Father’s house. We can love the sinner and not love their sin. Jesus loved and accepted all people, even those who sinned, and His followers are told to do the same. For we are all guilty of sin. One sin is not worse than the others in the eyes of God. Look it up. The Bible. Word up.
Lighten up Francis.
Nobody is asking you to suck a dick, just don’t be a dick. Welcoming in folks who agree with you politically while not necessarily agreeing with the them on very single, solitary social issue is not a crime against humanity.
No one would ever receive enough votes/be elected if the rules laid out by the curmudgeon wing of the party on the Right states that the candidate has to check all the correct boxes laid out by self described conservatives. The video lays out Tump’s “Pro Gay” agenda/action, are you not gonn’a vote for him?
I could only imagine the insular little world some of you must live in that you either don’t know any gays or lesbians or never got to know some. The funny thing is you may have and you probably thought they were decent folks.
M-A-G-A
Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn if Ricky Rebel swishes or not, if he supports the Republic I’ll proudly support his efforts.
It’s FUN! You got sumthin against FUN? LOSER!!
Annie Rose, ladies and gentlemen, Annie Rose.
Sorry, Annie Rose and Mr. V., but I have to pull an ackshually on this one. According to scripture, the saints, Church teaching and Christian orthodoxy, some sins are worse than others in the eyes of God. It’s easy enough to look up.
Thank you, Bunny for your thoughtful comments throughout this discussion on Sissy boys who support Trump.
“Sorry, Annie Rose and Mr. V., but I have to pull an ackshually on this one. According to scripture, the saints, Church teaching and Christian orthodoxy, some sins are worse than others in the eyes of God. It’s easy enough to look up.”
I would add that the pedagogy of the New Testament is based on the teachings found in the Old Testament and homosexuality is firmly condemned in the eyes of God. In fact, when I was a boy, R.C. doctrine taught that it was on a par with murder. Personally, I think it is a form of mental illness. Sad.
At no point have I ever advocated causing harm to homosexuals. I view most of them as victims of their own perversion and quite possibly in many cases victims of someone else’s perverted lust that brought them to their sordid lifestyle.
My problem is with their group identifies with the demand that their perversion be accepted. So, it’s not enough for them to come out of the closet, they want to march down Main Street joined with other bigger perverts like NAMBLA – the North American Man-Boy Love Association. Yeah, they advocate for changes in the law so that penalties be diminished or done away with for men who wish to sodomize young boys….and then it’s not enough that they parade down Main Street, now they want to shove their dirty condom in your face…..and it’s not enough they act out in that way, they demand that a Christian baker be forced, under their perversion of the law, to bake a cake for one of their vile ceremonies.
Ricky can vote for anyone he likes. If he sees hope in Trump, perhaps there is hope for him in salvation. That’s not up to me and so in the mean time, I will look at Ricky and his friends with great suspicion.
Religion today is mostly another form of virtue signalling and the rest of the time it is housed in a distant closet or shed in the backyard. It’s always been this way for cowards and lazy asses and people with principles constructed of jello.
20 years ago the phrase, “They use the things we love to hurt us.”, were written by Billy Beck and they are sage. I ask, “Can you shoot that smiling face that sits across from you at the breakfast table?” and people recoil in horror. But you can see right here, right now, people throwing their arms wide open for something that 20 years ago they ridiculed and held in the utmost disdain. All because they ASSume a mentally deficient manifestation of outright horror “might” pull the handle that is favorable to them and failing to understand it’s longer range goal. So naive, so gullible, so ignorant, so lazy, and they deserve everything that lies in wait for them. I shall not shed a tear, for the elimination of the chaff greases the skids for the new future.
Religion and especially religion via a denomination is one thing and there are lots of ’em to choose from but a relationship with the Creator of the Universe is something else and it’s 1000% different from the former.
It took me over 3 decades of struggling with the differences in a ga-jillion varieties and explanations of all of that stuff before I finally understood that He is right and we aren’t even close to being right unless we pay attention to what He says.
Regardless of your politics, whatever your tender feelings toward the souls who are LGBTQ, NAMBLA, Antifa, BLM or the American Communist Party, or any other like thing, these groups have rancid desires for the destiny of humanity and if you are a Christian…even if you are poor in spirit or in faith…you have a calling upon your life to stand firm against these things.
I’m not about to preach or tell you things that you cannot find out for yourself but what the body does affects the soul and there is no way out of that dilemma. See Galatians 5:9 in this context.
Put another way, certain types of fleshly sins will completely corrupt the human soul of those who practice them as well as the souls of those who agree with their behavior and of those who don’t care one way or another and Jesus had plenty to say about those types of people. So, your position on these abominations, especially as they affect society with its millions of souls, is most important, regardless of anything else that you might consider.
Jesus, whether you believe that He is God’s Only Begotten Son (‘begotten’ is key here) or not, still told the absolute truth about these things and He talked more about the human soul than any other thing. Every single discourse was directed at salvation of the soul and to reach the hearts and minds of those who believe Him and of those who don’t.
As a Christian I constantly struggle with every sin I could imagine and a few that I never did until they popped into my life. I fight them and when I fail I know that I am forgiven, but even without that forgiveness, I choose to stand on what Jesus has said and has told me to do and I don’t give a damn what people have to say about it. In this instance I am not about to give the nod, out of Grace or any other gift I might possess, to anyone who is possessed by abominations that he or she desires to spread through out the unthinking, ignorant or gullible and I will stand to stop them.
