Jen Frankel’s ‘Zugunruhe’

Jen Frankel is only responsible for the below opinions as long as you consider her tongue firmly in her cheek.

I am no bigot, but I feel compelled to address a social injustice that simply make me ill.

Marriage is a sacred union, sanctified by God, between two people created in his image, just as the Bible says. So how, therefore, can any true Christian condone the hideous desecration of this venerable institution by persons who by their mere existence laugh in the face of God’s truth?

I speak of course of marriage between the so-called “hearing impaired.”

These “deafies” as I prefer to call them have their advocates, their loud and insistent partisan lobbies that pushed for special rights to be accorded to them. They behave as if we should all have to put up with their obviously deviance, accepting their “culture” as equal to or in fact superior to our own. How can you see it in any other light, when deafies insist on close captioning, variable volume controls on public telephones, and special devices for watching films and theatre, to name just a few ways in which they have prevailed on the government for special treatment?

I know there are those who see being deaf as something genetic, something that can’t be helped. But a lot of deafies aren’t in fact born that way but become “hearing impaired” later in life, and still expect us to treat them as if they deserve more consideration than a normal, hard-working, hearing person.

But I say, if there is something genetic to the creation of a deaf person, then shouldn’t we at all costs stop them from marrying and creating MORE deafies who will demand MORE concessions the rest of us will have to pay for?

Just Say NO, LOUDLY!

Critics will say that deafies deserve equal treatment because they are people too. Well, I say that the law of Christ applies to everyone created in God’s image. Does that describe a deafie? Is God deaf too? If He was, could He possibly hear our prayers?

So I say no, religion and the law were meant to shield those whose nature is in fact natural, not some aberration that flouts the laws of God and man. When will the rights of the hearing be considered as seriously as those of the deaf? When will the government respect our right to maintain the sanctity of marriage as a union between two people who can hear?

When you see a ballot proposition according rights to a small minority, make sure you understand the risks of allowing genetic and physical deviants to hold the same rights as we do. Vote no!
