"If Savage were really against bullying, he wouldn’t use his fame and position to pick on kids who are a third of his age." “I don’t think that word means what you think it means” Published by Roxeanne de Luca Perhaps “that term,” since “anti-bullying” is not exactly a word, but why give up a good Princess Bride quote? Back on track: Dan Savage gave a keynote address to teen journalists as part of his “anti-bullying” initiative. During the address, he swore, made sexual remarks, talked about how his lover looks in a Speedo, and mocked Christianity. According to Fox News, As the teenagers were walking out, Tuttle said that Savage heckled them and called them pansy-assed. “You can tell the Bible guys in the hall they can come back now because I’m done beating up the Bible,” Savage said as other students hollered and cheered. “It’s funny as someone who is on the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible how pansy-assed people react when you push back.” Cutting through all of the profanity and nastiness, Savage is essentially saying, “The core of anti-bullying is for me to retaliate against people who bullied me back in the 1980s by bullying kids who weren’t even alive back then, but are sort of like the people who bullied me. ‘Cuz I’m anti-bullying, dude, I perpetuate the cycle of bullying!” As the indomitable Kerry Pickett said, “Liberal causes are vessels.” If Savage were really against bullying, he wouldn’t use his fame and position to pick on kids who are a third of his age. If he were about treating people well no matter who they are, and not discriminating, he wouldn’t engage in religious discrimination and would have made his keynote address hospitable to all teens, chaste and experienced, religious and atheist. But that’s not what is going on, which suggests that the “anti-bullying” campaign is nothing more than a vessel to advance his bigoted, anti-Christian, anti-chastity agenda. Remember that the next time someone screams “homophobia” if you dare to stand against Savage and his followers. It’s not about the well-being of gay kids to them, and we shouldn’t let them pretend that it is. http://haemet.blogivists.com/2012/04/29/i-dont-think-that-word-means-what-you-think-it-means/
