CAN'T SUPPORT TRUMP ON THIS ONE

   Regular readers know that---outside of Middle East policy---we rarely disagree with the Trump Administration's positions on most issues. But on Saturday, the President issued a Proclamation which deserves open criticism. It's brief, so here it is in its totality:

    "As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation. My Administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invites all nations to join us in this effort!"

   Part of me wants to believe that this was written by some Neocon rat lurking around the White House who duped the President to sign it for some supposed political gain. Regardless of how it came about, this is not what we elected Trump to do. In the first place, so-called 'Pride Month' is a media creation. They chose June because three years ago this month homosexual 'marriage' was illegally imposed on the nation by the Supreme Court. The Court that session was short one member after Justice Scalia died under mysterious circumstances only a few months before. The decision was made over the objections of a majority of US States---which had already codified heterosexual marriage exclusively as legal. 

   On top of that, there's nothing in this lifestyle embodying 'pride' any more than it has to do with anything 'gay.' These people redefined our language along with the laws of the nations and of nature. 

   The President says that we "recognize the outstanding contributions that LGBT people have made to our great Nation." To which we would ask: what contributions? Within our lifetimes, homosexuality was illegal in most American jurisdictions and considered a treatable mental condition. What could 'LGBT's' possibly have contributed? The overall contributions that homosexuals make to society is overwhelmingly negative. 

    The President that we should "stand in solidarity" with homosexuals living in countries with more enlightened laws than ours in dealing with this social problem. Trump adds 'execution' into the equation: although the countries that actually impose the death penalty are countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with whom we shouldn't be allied anyway. Yet this Administration supports both regimes. 

   Regardless, this statement by Trump goes against his campaign pledges not to interfere in the internal politics of sovereign nations. 

   The President states that he hopes to decriminalize homosexuality worldwide. This is a mistake. It's a reversion back to Deep State policies of forcing warped American social policy on countries too weak to resist. And actually, we should be working actively to re-criminalize such behavior in our own country, as it should be. 

    We don't scenes like the one pictured above in our own neighborhoods. Can we blame the citizens of foreign countries who don't want it in theirs? Imposing this kind of social degeneracy on other countries is exactly what enflamed so much Anti-American sentiment worldwide from the 1990's onwards.

    Republican Party activists need to stand up and denounce Trump's Proclamation. It clearly was not a very well thought-out move by the President, and any tendencies the White House may have in this direction should be nipped in the bud.
