It's on. The last episode of season 4 of The Walking Dead. And for me this episode may be the last one, period. Why? Because of gay character Tara Chalmers. Before you throw rocks at me, this isn't about being anti-gay, it's about being anti-propaganda.
When I started watching The Walking Dead three years ago I just wanted to watch a scary, suspenseful tale of people trying to survive a zombie apocalypse; I didn't want to be "agendaized". And Hollywood being what it is, you know a gay character was added to TWD only for propaganda purposes. Gay is good! Gays are normal! I don't want that.
Don't misunderstand me. If I go into a movie, book, or TV show knowing there's a message, that's one thing. Then I can prepare myself for it and choose to overlook it if the story is good enough. But if a show presents itself as one thing and then, later, slips "agenda stuff" in, that I don't like! Especially when it's left-wing, secular progressive agenda stuff. And that's what having a gay character on The Walking Dead is.
Think about it. What does Tara Chalmers' lesbianism add to the show? What makes it necessary? Nothing, except its propaganda value. Gay is good! Gays are normal! Gays are everywhere!
I'm a Bible-believing Christian. I believe homosexual behavior is a sin. I believe in traditional marriage. Those are my convictions, and if I'm going to live by them I can't support anything that actively opposes or undermines them. Is The Walking Dead doing that by adding lesbian Tara Chalmers to the cast? Most likely, though I really, really hope not. But if it is, goodbye The Walking Dead.

Todd Akin And The Politics Of Hypocrisy
Everybody's talking about it. The "legitimate rape" statement made by Missouri Republican candidate for the Senate, Todd Akin. Democrats are salivating over his remark, believing it's given them
ammunition to defeat Akin and smear all Republicans as anti-women. Top Republicans, also scared of the impact of Akin's gaffe, are practically demanding that he withdraw from the Missouri race.
Yes, Todd Akin said something stupid, really stupid, but Democrats' sanctimonious furor over his statement is pure hypocrisy. Liberals are on the record belittling not just rape, but child rape. A little trip down memory lane will prove this.
Back in 2009 Hollywood movie director Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland and faced extradition back to America to face punishment for his 1977 rape of a 13-year-old girl. Polanski had fled the US to avoid imprisonment for the crime. When news broke of his arrest liberal Hollywood rallied behind Polanski. Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, and other notable directors signed a petition demanding his release. Other Hollywood celebrities, including Adrien Brody, Debra Winger, and Sigourney Weaver, voiced their support for the director. The most offensive statements made in Polanski's defense came from his friend, Swiss director Otto Weisser, and Whoopi Goldberg, one of the co-hosts of The View. Weisser referred to the attack as "a little mistake" and Goldberg claimed the crime "wasn't rape rape". Mind you, Weisser and Goldberg made their dismissive quips about an act of drugging and sodomizing a child.
Hollywood embraced a child rapist yet Democrats, whom Hollywood staunchly supports, felt no need to distance themselves nor their party from that community. They weren't disturbed in the least by Tinsel Town's casual attitude toward child rape. But now, three years later, Democrats are outraged by a crude but essentially harmless rape comment from a little-known Republican. Gee, could the fact that this is an election year have anything to do with their indignation?
Todd Akin said something dumb, even weird, about rape, but he didn't rally around a child rapist or opine that such behavior wasn't all that bad. Hollywood liberals did do that yet Democrats happily continued their close relationship with them. And no one in the mainstream media called them on it. It proves the truth of a comment I read on the blog GayPatriot: "If it wasn't for double standards, [liberals and Democrats] would have no standards at all." Indeed.

Gone, Baby, Gone! Part Deux
Everybody's heard about it.
Lance Baxter, aka DC Douglas, the voice actor for the Geico commercials, was fired by that auto insurance company after he left a hateful voice mail at FreedomWorks, a pro-Tea Party group. Apparently, Baxter/Douglas--who sounds very stereotypically gay on the voice mail--was angry at alleged anti-gay sentiment in the Tea Party movement. After FreedomWorks released Baxter's pseudo-civil tirade Geico handed the actor his walking papers. Adios muchacho!
Now I'm not sure if Baxter was fired specifically for spewing hate against FreedomWorks or for using the politically incorrect word "retarded" in his rant, but either way it's downright thrilling to see a denizen of the Left get his just desserts. I don't expect Baxter to be jobless for long. Hollywood's owned by liberals who'd love to have sweet Lance come and talk for them (or to them). So I'm sure Baxter/Douglas will be drawing a paycheck again soon. But for now Geico Dude is jobless and I, for one, couldn't be happier.
