Well-known neocon Bill Kristol, the founder and editor of The Weekly Standard and a regular commentator on Fox News, has just teamed up with Eugene Delgaudio in a fundraising effort for one of the most-widely discredited anti-gay organizations in America, The Public Advocate. In the fundraising email, sent to Weekly Standard subscribers, Delgaudio suggests Congress will mandate “pro-homosexual education,” and “eliminate traditional values from American society.” A portion of the email reads:
You see, the Homosexual Classrooms Act contains a laundry list of anti-family provisions that will:
*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so “homosexual students” don’t feel “singled out” during already explicit sex-ed classes;
*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle;”
*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression;”
*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment” for homosexual students.
Delgaudio runs “The Public Advocate,” a misleading name for a private organization that reportedly took in over one million dollars last year doing little more than sending out what have become iconic fundraising lies.
In 2010, noted political writer Steve Clemmons exposed a fundraising email from Delgaudio, calling it “the craziest, most bizarre political letter I have ever read,” and “fabricated nonsense.”
Here’s the part Clemmmons excerpted in his 2010 column:
One stormy night I drove to a mailshop hidden deep in a nearly deserted stand of warehouses. I’d heard something was up and wanted to see for myself.
As I rounded the final turn my eyes nearly popped. Tractor-trailers pulled up to loading docks, cars and vans everywhere and long-haired, earring-pierced men scurrying around running forklifts, inserters and huge printing presses.
Trembling with worry I went inside. It was worse than I ever imagined.
Row after row of boxes bulging with pro-homosexual petitions lined the walls, stacked to the ceiling.
My mind reeled as I realized hundreds, maybe thousands, more boxes were already loaded on the tractor-trailers. And still more petitions were flying off the press.
Suddenly a dark-haired man screeched, “Delgaudio what are you doing here?” Dozens of men began moving toward me. I’d been recognized.
As I retreated to my car, the man chortled, “This time Delgaudio we can’t lose.”
Driving away, my eyes filled with tears as I realized he might be right. This time the Radical Homosexuals could win.
You see, even though homosexuals are just 1% of the population, if every one sent a petition to Congress it would generate a tidal wave of two or three million petitions or more.
Hundreds of thousands of pro-homosexual petitions will soon flood Congress , and my friends in Congress tell me there’s virtually nothing on Capitol Hill from the tens of millions of Americans like you who oppose the radical Homosexual Agenda and the Gay Bill of Special Rights.
I made up my mind that night to write to you and as many other patriotic Americans as possible. To stop the Radical Homosexuals and protect traditional marriage there must be an immediate outpouring from folks like you.
For those unfamiliar with Bill Kristol, here’s his Wikipedia bio:
Kristol is associated with a number of prominent conservative think tanks. He was chairman of the New Citizenship Project from 1997 to 2005. In 1997, he co-founded the Project for the New American Century(PNAC) with Robert Kagan. He is a member of the board of trustees for the free-market Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a member of the Policy Advisory Board for the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and a director of the Foreign Policy Initiative. He is also one of the three board members of Keep America Safe, a think tank co-founded by Liz Cheney and Debra Burlingame, and serves on the board of the Emergency Committee for Israel and the Susan B. Anthony List.
Needless to say, the depths the anti-gay fringe are will to delve are becoming more extreme as their lies and bigotry become more and more unacceptable to the American people.
That Bill Kristol would rub elbows with Eugene Delgaudio speaks volumes about him.
Strangley, Delgaudio is an elected official who represents the Sterling District on the Loudoun County, Virginia, Board of Supervisors.
Here’s the full text of the Delgaudio/Public Advocate email, with a few screenshots:
Dear Pro-family American,
The Radical Homosexuals infiltrating the United States Congress have a plan:
Indoctrinate an entire generation of American children with pro-homosexual propaganda and eliminate traditional values from American society.
Their ultimate dream is to create a new America based on sexual promiscuity in which the values you and I cherish are long forgotten.
I hate to admit it, but if they pass the deceptively named “Student Non-Discrimination Act,” (H.R. 998 & S. 555) that’s exactly what they’ll do.
Better named the “Homosexual Classrooms Act,” its chief advocate in Congress is Rep. Jared Polis, himself an open homosexual and radical activist.
And it’s dangerously close to becoming the law of the land.
H.R. 998 already has 150 co-sponsors in the House!
And S. 555 already has 34 co-sponsors in the Senate!
That’s why I need you to act quickly — right away — to protect our nation’s youth.
I have prepared the official “Protect Our Children’s Innocence” Petition to Congress for you to sign.
Please click here to sign it right away so I can rush it to the Capitol with thousands more.
You and I must defeat this disastrous legislation.
You see, the Homosexual Classrooms Act contains a laundry list of anti-family provisions that will:
*** Require schools to teach appalling homosexual acts so “homosexual students” don’t feel “singled out” during already explicit sex-ed classes;
*** Spin impressionable students in a whirlwind of sexual confusion and misinformation, even peer pressure to “experiment” with the homosexual “lifestyle;”
*** Exempt homosexual students from punishment for propositioning, harassing, or even sexually assaulting their classmates, as part of their specially-protected right to “freedom of self-expression;”
*** Force private and even religious schools to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum and purge any reference to religion if a student claims it creates a “hostile learning environment” for homosexual students.
And that’s just the beginning of the Homosexual Lobby’s radical agenda.
In fact, it will set them up to ram through their entire perverted vision for a homosexual America.
My friend, I’m sure I don’t have to tell you this is not a fight we can afford to lose.
That’s why Public Advocate is leading the fight against this immoral legislation.
This is a battle for the survival of American values and the fact is, there’s no time to waste.
The Homosexual Classrooms Act will turn America’s schools into indoctrination centers and its classrooms into social laboratories — and they’re pulling out all the stops to pass it.
You see, they’ve disguised the bill’s wicked purpose behind an innocent name: “The Student Non-Discrimination Act.”
The Homosexual Lobby knows that if the public knew the truth about their radical agenda, they’ll have no hope of success.
And their dangerously close to ramming their perversity into law.
H.R. 998 already has 150 co-sponsors in the House!
And S. 555 already has 34 co-sponsors in the Senate!
You and I need to take action right now to stop the growing momentum of this disastrous legislation.
I’ve developed a massive program to launch the second they try to push this bill through — mail, email, phones, and even radio and TV ads.
But that’s only possible with your support…
None of these things are cheap. In fact, running a program of the size necessary to defeat this bill can get quite expensive especially with increases in postage and printing costs.
That’s why I need your generous contribution. In addition to your signed “Protect Our Children’s Innocence” Petition, will you contribute $250, $100, $50 or even just $35 right away.
And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.
Unfortunately, this agenda is nothing new.
In fact, other countries like Britain are already experimenting with this kind of legislation, such as mandating public schools inject pro-homosexual content into every aspect of education.
Word problems in math classes are now to include homosexual characters. History classes will document the “civil rights” struggle against the “oppressive” pro-family establishment.
And it’s even started to infiltrate our state governments.
In California, lawmakers want to “require schools to portray lesbians, homosexuals, transsexuals … as positive role models to children in all public schools.”
Sexual deviants being held up as models of virtue?
If that makes you as sick as it makes me, you simply must join me in this battle for America’s children.
Please sign the “Protect Our Children’s Innocence” Petition to Congress and then send a generous contribution right away. Your action will make all the difference.
And if all that wasn’t enough to convince you that action must be taken immediately, there’s more.
Many say that there will always be private schools and traditional homeschool families to teach traditional values to the next generation.
But the truth is, this radical agenda is NOT restricted to public schools.
Kevin Jennings, Obama’s “Safe Schools Czar,” has clearly stated that “every school, public, private or parochial has an obligation” to teach a pro-homosexual curriculum.
In fact, Jennings denounced school choice programs as “very dangerous” because they make it much harder to impose the Homosexual Agenda on our kids.
“Lord forbid a Baptist or Mormon school,” he added.
Jennings’ ultimate goal is for all curriculum in “kindergarten, and first grade, and second grade – every grade” be infused with a pro-homosexual slant.
Traditional values will be squashed and demonized as old fashioned or out of date, or even as bigotry.
You and I cannot let them succeed.
Please sign the “Protect Our Children’s Innocence” Petition to Congress I’ve prepared for you right away.
And along with your petition, would you please send a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35.
And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.
Thank you so much for all you have done.
Sincerely,
Eugene Delgaudio
President,
Public Advocate of the U.S.P.S. Radical Homosexuals in Congress have a plan to indoctrinate our children in schools — both public and private.
But Public Advocate is taking a stand. Will you join me?
Please sign the “Protect Our Children’s Innocence” Petition to Congress I’ve enclosed.
And please, along with your petition, would you please send a generous contribution of $250, $100, $50 or even just $35 right away?
And every dollar counts in this fight so even if you can only chip in $10 or $20, it will make a difference.
Because Public Advocate of the U.S. lobbies against the
Homosexual Lobby, contributions are not tax deductible for IRS purposes.
