“when I look at this material on the desk, as a grandfather and as a father who is very lucky to have five children, it puts me in a fighting mood. This is material promoting and encouraging what a majority of people in this country consider grievous sin. There is a Federal role when our society is degenerating, when our culture is literally melting down, when we live in a country where the whole world points at us and refers to our child pornography, our drive-by shootings, our gangs and carjackings, where people are pulled out of cars by teenagers and beaten sometimes to death. Our culture is melting down. This is one of the root causes, trying to sell sodomy as a healthy lifestyle. Not, I notice that the distinguished, wonderful gentlewoman from the great State of Washington said that the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Hancock] was obsessed with this issue. The word ``homophobe'' never appeared in that dictionary until a new edition was put in here 2 years ago. In my first 15 years around here, there was no such word. Why is it that people are insulted when we stand up here in disgust of the moral degeneration of our country and want to defend traditional family values? I am tired of this.”
