NBC’S ‘The New Normal’ is Anything But

AGENDA-DRIVEN TV CRITICS HOPE GAY-THEMED SITCOM FURTHERS MAINSTREAMING OF HOMOSEXUALITY.

So I tuned in last night to a preview of the new NBC sitcom, “The New Normal,” which officially debuts tonight. I wanted to see why USA Today TV critic Robert Bianco was so giddy about the show that he gave it not one, but two fawning reviews in the space of four days.

Well it’s not because “The New Normal” is destined to go down in TV history as one of the all time greatest sitcoms, alongside, say, “Seinfeld” or “M.A.S.H” or “All in the Family” or “The Honeymooners.”

No, the only reason it is generating favorable buzz is because of Bianco and other “progressive,” agenda-driven TV critics who hope the gay-themed show furthers the mainstreaming of homosexuality.

“The New Normal’s” main characters are two gay men who want to have a baby, who hire a single mom (who already has a daughter of her own) to be their surrogate. The gays, the surrogate, the daughter are all so sweet. The show’s baddy is the surrogate’s “outspoken, bigoted mom,” as Bianco describes her, played by actress Ellen Barkin.

At least one NBC affiliate – KSL-TV in Salt Lake City – didn’t think “The New Normal” appropriate for its audience. It was something about two men lying in bed, kissing, and whispering sweet nothings to each other.

Of course, Bianco and other TV critics, along with gay “rights” groups accused the station of homophobia.

But the same station previously decided that it wouldn’t air the NBC’s “The Playboy Club.” Yet neither Bianco or his fellow TV critics accused the station’s management of being bunnyphobic.

NBC learned last year that the mass of Americans really didn’t want to see a show on primetime network television that was, in the words of the conservative Parents Television Council, “so inherently linked to a pornographic brand that denigrates and sexualizes women.”

Indeed, the “The Playboy Club” premiered to low ratings, which steadily declined over its next three episodes before NBC finally pulled the plug.

“The New Normal” probably won’t suffer as quick an exit as “The Playboy Club” because of all the hype the show has gotten from Bianco and other TV critics who are determined that “The New Normal” will be the homosexual version of “The Cosby Show.”

But while any and every family with traditional values could identify with “the Cosby Show,” only a small percentage can identify with “The New Normal’s” gay couple who want to bring an innocent child into their ungodly lives.

That may be “normal” at 30 Rock, where NBC execs green-lighted the gay-themed sitcom. But it’s still decidedly abnormal to most Americans.

SAME-SEX MARRIAGE

Obama Breaks Faith With the Black Community

OBAMA SAYS HIS SUPPORT FOR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE IS BASED ON THE GOLDEN RULE.

In a recent post, I slammed black pastors for failing to stand up for their Christian faith in the face of attack by Nation of Islam supreme leader Louis Farrakhan.

So, in fairness, I must applaud members of the black clergy who have put Biblical principle above racial hegemony in their public criticism of President Obama for his ungodly support of homosexual marriage.

“I love the president,” said Rev. Emmitt Burns, pastor of Rising Sun Baptist Church in Baltimore, “but I cannot support what he has done.” He told CNN that the president’s failure to defend traditional marriage between one man and one woman will lead to his defeat in November.

Rev. Burns’ sentiments were echoed by Rev. Keith Ogden, pastor of Hill Street Baptist Church in Ashville, N.C. “He is not God,” he said of Obama. “And he doesn’t speak for all black folk just because he’s African American.”               

Much of the black community feels the same way as Revs. Burns and Ogden, as borne out by a poll last month by Pew Research Center, in which 49 percent of blacks expressed their opposition to gay marriage, compared to 39 percent in favor.

I suspect that many black churchgoers feel just as offended as the broader faith community that Obama dared to attribute his so-called “evolution” on homosexual marriage to Christian values he and his wife Michelle supposedly share.

“We are both practicing Christians,” the president claimed last week, in an interview that aired on ABC News, “and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others.”

But, he continued, “when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it’s also the Golden Rule: Treat others the way you would want to be treated.”      

Well, the Golden Rule does indeed instruct us to treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves. But it certainly does not tell us we must blithely accept sin.

And the last time I checked, the Bible clearly identified homosexuality as a sin. “Thou shall not lie with a man, as with a woman,” the Scripture declares. “It is abomination.”

So to endorse homosexual marriage, as the president has, is to defy God’s law. It is to side with those practicing the very abomination for which the Almighty destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gommorah.

And, for Obama, the falsehearted Christian, it is to break faith with the black community on one of the great moral issues of our time.
