Hmmm. DPF I’m a massive massive fan of your work… but even I have to agree a tiny little bit with the naysayers about depicting Colin Craig as a weasel. I think he is going to destroy the New Zealand right with his unpalatable views, but then again I can blame Act for being so mind-bogglingly terrible in allowing this man to come through the cracks. But yeah unless it turns out that Colin actually is gay and/or a trans, or has committed some crimes like David Garrett, I think this is ‘just’ unwarranted. For now. (I still hate that Colin Craig will be the tail wagging the whole freaken constructive, not bat**** crazy right-wing dog in NZ).

The Christian Heritage Party of New Zealand (CHP, known for a time simply as Christian Heritage New Zealand) was a New Zealand political party espousing Christian values. Although it never won seats in an election, it came close to doing so in 1996 as part of the Christian Coalition and briefly had a member in Parliament.
On 3 October 2006, the Party said it would disband to allow “new things to arise in Christian politics in New Zealand”. This came after a highly-publicised scandal which resulted in its leader, Graham Capill, going to jail for committing sex-crimes against young girls.

Interesting comment from a “true blue” National supporter. I can’t help thinking that what this is all about (that, and a few other things recently on KB) – is distraction.
Perhaps a current example from overseas would serve as a good example of the strategy and tactic; Harry Reid’s accusations about Mitt Romney’s tax payments.
Since Reid has absolutely no evidence for his claim, just an unnamed single “source”, even most Democratic hacks have held off supporting him, and several have condemned him. In the face of that you would have to wonder why he would persist with such a baseless claim that makes him look so awful? Well the reasoning is pretty straight-forward:
See how it works? Narrative control; framing the debate.
Of course if you are going to go this far out on a limb in pursuit of those objectives it pays to have a fall-guy, preferably a willing one:
That last bit is important – because then nobody can accuse you of being a blatant liar!

Griff, CHP was a Dutch Reform group; most Christians in NZ were distinctly uncomfortable with them politically (as I was); which is partly why they failed in union with the -to be pitied- Christian Democrats forced to work with them to breach the MMp threshold.

In and of it self this is pretty harmless. Politicians should expect all sorts of things when they step in the limelight, but I draw the line at smears, lies and attacks on family.
That said, I’m with a few others here – DPF’s seemingly relentless campaign against Craig is a bit nasty. It seems that urban liberals are very happy to attack anyone (aka deny their right to liberty) for not thinking and behaving as they do. Craig is squarely in their sights, and the calibre of their ammunition will increase in proportion the support he gathers.
[DPF: It is a campaign against Craig's views, not Craig. I have even blogged positive stuff on Craig when he doesn't say stupid things. But if he is going to insist being gay is a choice, despite the massive evidence it is not, then he is going to be attacked.]

Theres this story about a grizzly old trucker who was driving from one sie if the US to the other and used to pick up hitch-hikers for a bit of entertainment…..
One day he pickup up someone who had the appearance of being gender neutral – long hair, soft voice, etc. The trucker kept glancing at the hitchhiker – which the hitchhker noticed, and afetr a bit of discussion he said to the trucker – “You dont know if Im male or female do you?”
“Makes no difference” said the trucker “youre going to get fucked either way”
The Colin Craig situation reminds me of this. Everyone is taking a second look at him. Whats he saying? whats he up to? does he really mean what hes saying? etc, etc
But the message to National is this – “makes no difference – youre going to get fucked either way”
At the next election I predict that Conservative will vacuum up all those votes fromNZ First and ACT and that silly old bugger in Ohariu. Maori will be a spent force (they dont know what they want or whose really in charge – The Maori party, The Iwi leaders , the Maori council or is it someone else) – and their votes will probably be spread around pretty evenly. Colin Craig will then be king maker – and could either way, although I suspect he will put thepressure on national and will squeeze them dry. Then with any luck we will see rollbacks of things like working for families and we will start to see some binding referendums – and they would be very welcome.

David, you are threatening me with demerits for condemning that sick puppy Jim Peron who a lot of libertarians support. Have you read the sick homo-erotic article he wrote in NAMBLA friendly publication? He speaks highly of what he calls his boy lovers. He support Craig’s contention.
You are unable to counter Craig’s opinions that are based on research he has read.
People who had experienced sexual abuse as children were three times more likely to identity themselves as homosexual or bisexual than those who had not experienced abuse, she said. Also, the more adverse events someone experienced in childhood, the more likely they were to belong to one of the “non-exclusively heterosexual” groups.

What he says is his genuinely held belief. That is more than I can say for Louisa Wall and many of her libertarian supporters. She and Chauvel both claim they believe that they would win a binding referendum. They are lying. If they believed they had a very strong chance of winning public support even with huge advantage they have with majority support in the MSM and also bloggers obsessed like you and Slater they would be happy for a referendum.
You are beginning to sound like a global warming alarmist. You are trying to shut down debate. You claim you have massive evidence to support you belief. Craig supplies evidence and rather than respond with a logical argument you try and shut others down people who disagree with you albeit a little indirectly. You allow your libertarian allies to abuse conservatives and threaten people with demerits if the respond.

I wouldn’t be too quick off the mark to trumpet the ‘scientific’ research regarding gay sheep. I’ve spent half a lifetime farming the sods & I’ll offer two thoughts.
One is that every autumn I have paddocks full of male lambs humping each other while they put on enough weight to send to the works…..in the absence of ewes & with their hormones kicking in they’ll dry root anything. The other is that every year a few ewes will cycle but refuse to have anything to do with the ram. In these cases it’s not unknown for another couple of ewes to stand either side of it until the ram has done his business.
Since empty ewes & useless rams get an early ride on the big truck ovine homosexuality is not an issue that concerns us greatly.
Vote:August 6th, 2012 at 4:26 pm
I agree to a certain extant. Trying to interpret what you might see in the paddock is fraught with difficulties since there are confounding factors. However the scientists tried to get around this, by doing the experiments in more controlled conditions. There’s a story here which notes:
Vote:August 6th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
DPF I cannot agree with you that ‘gayness’ is not a choice (ie its controlled by your genes). That’s a big assumption. It’s a valid argument that it is not, and the science is out on the gene thing, the nature or nurture arguments etc. Academia presents a strong case for the impact of nurture (ie the link between child abuse, absent parents, especially on males, etc) on sexuality.
It’s therefore unfair to justify attacks on Craig because of his “stupid views,” when they are simply opposite, and quite reasonable just different to your assumptions.. HEAPS of people believe homosexuality is fundamentally a choice based on multifarious complexities of human sexuality. Trans, Bi, Gay, Straight, Deviant, Bestiality, Paedophilia, Abstinent, Androgenous, Coprophilia, Necrophilia, etc.

Claiming that gayness is not a choice, because you are born that way, is not the same as claiming that it genetic. It is possible for a trait to be biological in origin without it having a genetic basis. The evidence to date suggests that there is a genetic component to sexual orientation but that it is weak and indirect and most likely works by biasing some factor during embryonic development but that factor, nongenetic, has yet to be identified.
Academia does not, in fact, have a strong case for nurture being relevant to sexual orientation. A correlation between child abuse and sexual orientation does not imply that there is causation. Girls who are sexually abused by men are more likely to be gay according to such research.

There is also evidence to suggest that in large families with lots of males, the youngest is more likely to be gay.

Also it’s not considered negatively in some cultures – in ancient Greece for instance they had boys for recreation and women for procreation. Alexander the Great, possibly the greatest general to ever have lived, was a homosexual.

Actually no. This has been studied. even in families where children have been adopted in, or out, in turns out that its the number of biological brothers you have, not the number you are raised with, that matters. So the birth order effect is biological in origin rather than environmental.
