Editorial:
They're Not After Our Children???

Ever since our first paper appeared in 1999, we have been assured by everyone that the homosexuals in our midst are not "after our children."

But David Brudnoy's unmasking by the Boy Scouts this week has put an end to that fairy tale.

Many homosexuals do have integrity and decency. We're all able to name them among our friends. But those homosexuals are apparently in the minority. The activists are seeking to change our society by changing our children. They have neither integrity nor decency.

Even some of them who do have those ideals have become so embroiled in the politics of the moment that they are compromising their values.

The disappointing, tawdry spectacle of the unmasking of David Brudnoy sends so many shock waves crashing across our Massachusetts landscape that one hardly knows where to begin.

Even We Believed It!

Even we believed the fairy tale when we first started in 1999.

We had planned to publish a newspaper about taxes, education, economics and getting all the citizens interested in their local and state governments.

We thought, in our naiveté, that if we just questioned whether all sides of homosexuality were being presented in a fair and friendly manner to the children in our schools, we would stimulate an intelligent discussion and move on.

After all, that's what schools have always been about - raising all the issues with arguments from both sides on any subject.

But we quickly learned that there is not to be an intelligent discussion about homosexuality. Someone, we still don't know who, has decided that this is a forbidden subject and is not to be discussed anywhere.

Who are these people and where do they sit?
When the rich and powerful came after us with all the force and fury they possessed, it took about three months to realize we would soon be destroyed because there was no way to talk back.

Without our own newspaper to reach the people, we would be lost. The rich and powerful would not give us any voice at all.

This was a surprise. Our publisher had particularly known one homosexual while at Williams College who was very creative and talented. He was well liked and a member of one of the good fraternities. (He died in the 1970s.) But none of us had ever considered what defined the term "homosexual."

We really weren't interested. As long as they were happy and didn't bother anyone, let them do their thing. We couldn't be bothered trying to tell them what to do.

But it became obvious in 1999 this was no longer a question of our telling them what to do with their lives. They were now in charge. They were telling us what to do. And even worse, they were telling our children what to do.

But we continued in the belief that the rational homosexuals would take charge and end the foolishness.

But the unmasking of David Brudnoy has ended all that. He has sent the clear signal that he is now in charge. He is out to not only get our children but our religious faith as well.

Money and Power

The villains behind all of this are "money" and "power."

The homosexual activists in Washington have millions of dollars they are sending to Massachusetts and across the country. One of them, Tim Gill, gave $18.5 million last year to homosexual causes according to an article in USA Today. He made his fortune with the software company, Quark. Most of the big money is coming from other high tech moguls. Kathy Levinson donates about $500,000 per year and David Bohnett gave about $2 million last year.

The largest group is the Human Rights Campaign which was started by the scion of the Hormel meat company, who was Clinton's ambassador to Luxembourg.

That group took out $275,000 from its annual fundraiser in Boston last year to help its $8 million budget. That homosexual event drew 1300 people, including many politicians such as gubernatorial candidates Atty. Gen. Tom Reilly, Steve Grossman. Others included Senate Leader Tom Birmingham and Mayor Menino. The speaker was Tipper Gore.

This power and money were used to help elect Bill Weld as Governor of our state in 1990 and he gave them our schools as a reward. Our state became known as the leader of the homosexual movement.

There is no one to balance this power.

A few Southern preachers, Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and others, have tried and alerted many, but even they were not focused on this particular issue. James Dobson is effective today but unlike Hormel and Gill, he is attempting to cover a wide spectrum of issues. He was visibly shaken a few years back when the murder of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming was placed on him by the NYTimes/Boston Globe axis.

The Protestant Church in New England is moribund or has been preempted by the Unitarians and others who pretend to be Christians. The mainline churches have been preempted while many of the Evangelicals have retreated to their bunkers.

The Catholic Church is pretty well neutralized by homosexuals who are high in the power structure of the American church. There will be a continuing power struggle there.

The power of the NYTimes/Boston Globe axis is incomprehensible to us mere mortals. Every radio and television station turns to the Globe every morning to see what the news will be for that day. Then they rush their camera crews across the state to cover what the Globe has told them to do. And the radio stations use the paper to pick their topics of discussion for the day. There is no media in our state that is independent of the NYTimes/Boston Globe axis.

Ned Johnson, his Fidelity Investments and all of us are big villains. We gave him billions from our 401k's to manage for us. We didn't care what he did, just as long as we got a lot of money in return. One thing Johnson did with those billions was to buy every single local newspaper around Boston. This eliminated more than 130 small editors who were watching what was happening in our schools and elsewhere. Ned Johnson saw that if he could provide Macy's and others with all those consumers in one package, he could make a lot of money.

Well, it didn't work and Johnson finally sold the whole package to the Boston Herald. In the process he destroyed all our local, independent editors. We now have 130 papers whose sole purpose is to make more and more money. Our infrastructure of free speech has been destroyed.

Will the Internet be able to change that and bring back the local editor and his printing press? You must stay tuned for that one.

Even Jeff Jacoby

Our favorite conservative, Jeff Jacoby, has taken a lot of heat about homosexuality from his employer, the NYTimes/Boston Globe axis.

He has a family to support. He was suspended for four months without pay by the Globe in 2000 and invited to resign. He said, "I was put on notice that if I do choose to return in four months, there would have to be a 'serious rethink' of the kind of column I write."

We will never know why he wrote, on June 14, 2001, a puff piece about Brudnoy's 25th anniversary on radio. He won't tell us but you have to wonder why he wrote the following endorsement of Brudnoy. "If you've got half a brain and a dab of intellectual curiosity, how could you not like the Brudnoy show?"

He ended the advertisement with, "In most of the eastern United States, you can hear ideas in all their diversity take center stage five nights a week, three hours per night, on WBZ-AM1030, where the night's best conversation - and David Brudnoy's second quarter-century - is underway."

That was an advertising agency's dream but was Jeff Jacoby forced to say that?
Problems for Jeff first surfaced publicly in 1997 when he reported that signs had been torn down at Harvard Law School by activists after a Christian group of students announced a meeting featuring a young man who had stopped practicing homosexuality.

The signs were replaced with others such as, "For those struggling with Judaism, there is hope in the truth. You can walk away. (To the gas chambers.)"

Jeff, who is Jewish and had a parent in the Holocaust, wrote in a column, "There is no hate in [the young speaker's] story. He doesn't berate gays, or mock them, or demand that they renounce homosexuality. He knows that many gays are content and happy with their lives. He also knows that many are not."

Jacoby continued, "How was inviting this man to speak at Harvard analogous to sending Jews to gas chambers? Isn't his experience also an element of human 'diversity?' What does it say about gay advocates, who so loudly champion tolerance and freedom of sexual choice, that they are so poisonously intolerant of people who make a choice different from theirs?"

Because of this column, Jeff was publicly attacked a few weeks later by the Globe's Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman inadvertently revealed that Jacoby's column had almost been totally censored. There had been great conflict in the newsroom about it. He also revealed that both of Jacoby's editors were "gay activists" (his words), who were adamant that the column not be printed. The Ombudsman opined that Jacoby had written "homophobic" columns before.

Jeff reported that what happened at the Globe did have a chilling effect upon him. Was it just coincidence that both of his editors were homosexual activists?

The Ombudsman concluded that the editor was correct in running the column even though it was "offensive," and even though it's a "high price to pay for freedom of the press." In the future, "Jacoby's articles about homosexuality will be judged case by case."

Libertarians Are Infected

Every conservative has some amount of libertarian in him.

Therefore, it is a disappointment for many to see the Libertarian Party in Massachusetts so excited by David Brudnoy.

One reason for this is that many of our "libertarians" in Massachusetts are actually "libertines," not libertarians.

They believe that being a libertarian allows you to do anything you want at any time you want to do it.

The Party has attracted many homosexuals who believe that this will allow them unfettered discretion to practice their desires wherever they wish - even on the streets.

Many in the Libertarian Party in our state also go to the Boston Common every year, telling teenagers that marijuana is harmless and they should just light-up. There are some intelligent people who argue effectively that we should not outlaw the use of some drugs, like marijuana, but that is a far cry from advising teenagers to try a puff.

It's understandable that our Libertarians gushed when Brudnoy announced in 1998 that he was switching from Republican to Libertarian. He has a lot of power when he talks into a 50,000 watt, clear channel microphone that goes all over the East.

But now that he has shown his true color, hopefully the love affair will diminish somewhat.

Unmasking of Brudnoy

The inadvertent unmasking of David Brudnoy by the businessmen who run the Boy Scouts in the Boston area is going to shake the entire state. (Those businessmen also unmasked themselves in the process.)

Many conservatives thought for years that Brudnoy was one of us.

Everyone can see it clearly now. The man who is after our children is our own David Brudnoy.

The Scouts took this man who is to be pitied for his problems and made him the role model for our children. Can they expect that no one will see what they have done?

Everyone makes mistakes. But Brudnoy made some whoppers and won't admit it. On top of that he's telling the Catholics how to run their church and he's telling those of us who believe in God that we are wrong.

Only in Massachusetts could this insanity be taking place.
