LF: Russian man creates anti-gay rainbow for Facebook #pridetobestraight

"You are the only true Christian sovereign under the sky! Two Romes have fallen, but the third stands and a fourth there shall not be.”

A Russian man has created a Photoshop tool that embosses the Russian flag over Facebook profile pictures in response to the popularity of the Pride rainbow.

Graphic designer Rishat Shigapov told the RSN radio station that he came up with the idea after being inundated with requests to add Russian flags to profile pictures manually. “I’m for family values, after all,” he said. Other users have tagged Russian flag profile picture with #pridetobestraight and #pridetoberussian, as well as their grammatically correct Russian equivalents.

There is something a little lame about the godless Soviets of the 20th century getting all holier-than-the-pope on this stuff.

Among the radicals of the early Soviet era, sexual desire was compared to a glass of water, a thirst to be slated at will without regard to traditional morality. Supposedly this would include incest and same-sex relations. However, in practice, the Soviets were always quite anti-gay as are nearly all the totalitarian regimes in history, including the monarchies.

I notice Russia's ISPs are taking other sites offline due to pages that might offend.

Regardless of tsarism, communism, or oligarchy and rhetoric on the subject, Russia is pretty anti-gay throughout and willing to use the state to suppress any other views.

This push for “marriage equality” that we've seen lately has nothing to do with “fairness” or “equality”, and it most certainly is not a response to “oppression”. All of this has been just another arrow in the vast quiver of the totalitarian left aimed at destroying the existing social fabric. You think the Communists, Socialists and Progressives give a rat's ass about the “dignity” of a gay couple? In a pig's eye. All they are concerned with is the destruction of the existing order so it can be replaced with their imaginary Utopia.

If the current social order and American culture collapses, one of two movements will fill the vacuum where it once stood, and neither of these movements will likely be friendly to homosexuals. Either the leftists will get their totalitarian state, which will (going by past history) immediately liquidate all of the gay folks they can find in the name of public decency or fighting perversion or some other rot (they always have, can anyone name one totalitarian regime that has NOT clamped down on homosexuality); or the Islamists will come to hold sway. If Radical Islam gains power, gay folks will have bigger things to worry about than same sex marriage. Someone wanting a same sex marriage will find the Imams very willing to hold a ceremony....on a rooftop. The bad news is that the trip to the reception is a short one and it ends abruptly.

Given all that, I think the benefits of last week's ruling for gay people will be transient at best, unless we can right the ship of state and reinvigorate American Culture as a source of pride. Hell, if we can accomplish that, gay marriage is a price I'll gladly pay!

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.

The first stage being "demoralization".

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism..
