Sometimes they just make it so easy...
"Rich Lowry, the editor of National Review, told the young conservatives' gathering last month: 'You have to check out March of the Penguins. It is an amazing movie. And I have to say, penguins are the really ideal example of monogamy. These things - the dedication of these birds is just amazing.'" -- Jonathan Miller, in the September 13, 2005 New York Times, on the right-wing adoption of March of the Penguins as an exemplar of their values
"Of the 53 penguins in the Central Park Zoo, Silo and Roy are not the only ones that are gay. In 1997, the park had four pairs of homosexual penguins. In an effort to increase breeding, zookeepers tried to separate them by force. They failed, said Gramzay. Only one of the eight bonded with a female. The rest went back to same-sex relationships, not necessarily with the same partner. Silo and Roy, long-time homosexuals, got together (or pair-bonded, in official penguin lingo) after that failed experiment." -- Cristina Cardoze of the Columbia News Service, June 6, 2002
So, yeah, Mr. Lowry, I guess they really are an ideal example. Are you going to learn anything from them?
