Promoting Kinsey, censoring grandma.(The Right Perspective)

On November 12, Fox Searchlight, a branch of Rupert Murdoch's 20th Century Fox studios, releases Kinsey, the much-heralded film glorifying the life and work of Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey. The movie boasts the star power of Liam Neeson (Schindler's List, Star Wars: Phantom Menace) as Dr. Kinsey and Laura Linney (Love Actually, Mystic River) as Kinsey's wife, Clara. However, it isn't the acting, the directing, or the "production values" that are creating all the media buzz about this supposedly must-see "biopic." (I can tell you that authoritatively without having seen the film. Not that I didn't try: I was prevented twice from previewing the movie. More on that in a moment.)

No, the major media have been hyping this movie to the skies because of its subjects: Kinsey himself and the "sexual revolution" that Kinsey was so instrumental in spawning. Kinsey has become a sort of god for the sex cult that dominates the higher circles of our major cultural and educational institutions: the media/entertainment cartel and academia. His sordid "research" forms the basis of their warped theology of human sexuality.

For these zealous cultists, Kinsey's "sex science" tomes, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (1948) and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), have become the new holy writ. They will not tolerate any facts that tarnish Kinsey's deity status or that challenge his gospel of sexual license. However, the truth is out, the facts are undeniable. Kinsey's sensational "research" turns out to be not scientific at all, but outright fraud. In order to undo traditional moral norms, Kinsey had to perpetrate the lie that all kinds of perverse sexual practices were "normal." According to Kinsey, anything goes: promiscuity, pornography, prostitution, adultery, sodomy, pedophilia, group sex, sadomasochism, even incest. To support his outlandish claims, Kinsey intentionally skewed his population sample by secretly stacking his "research" with selected cohorts from the most sexually disordered populations: rapists, child molesters, prison inmates, homosexual activists, the "feeble minded," and prostitutes.

This colossal fraud and the damage it has done should be, alone, sufficient to consign Kinsey to eternal infamy. However, the rest of the Kinsey story is far, far worse. Kinsey himself was a pornographically addicted, pedophile-promoting, bisexual sadomasochist. In the name of science, Kinsey and his "research" acolytes engaged in heinous criminal activity that would, even today in our more "liberated" society, get them sent to prison for a long time. Most horrid of all was Kinsey's recruitment and protection of pedophiles who sexually tortured hundreds of children and even small infants.
