For Love Of Country

Sure, I'm late to the party on this one, but the systemic impact from this could prove to be a great new talking point for the Modern American Right:

There’s no question at times of my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate. And what I can tell you is that when I did things that were wrong, I wasn’t trapped in situation ethics, I was doing things that were wrong, and yet, I was doing them. I found that I felt compelled to seek God’s forgiveness. Not God’s understanding, but God’s forgiveness. I do believe in a forgiving God. And I think most people, deep down in their hearts hope there’s a forgiving God.

Somebody once said that when we’re young, we seek justice, but as we get older, we seek mercy. There’s something to that, I think. I feel that I’m now 67 I’m a grandfather. I have two wonderful grandchildren. I have two wonderful daughters and two great sons-in-law. Callista and I have a great marriage. I think that I’ve learned an immense amount.

And I do feel, in that sense, that God has given me, has blessed me with an opportunity as a person. Forget about all this political stuff. As a person, I’ve had the opportunity to have a wonderful life, to find myself now, truly enjoying the depths of my life in ways that I never dreamed it was possible to have a life that was that nice.

Because that's all it takes, doesn't it - asking forgiveness from some invisible man in the sky and wrapping it in the America Flag will make even the most scandalous of transgression go away; even from someone as high profile within the Modern American Right as Newt.

It's the new excuse du jour - I love my country so much that I ( insert what would normally be an unpardonable sin in accordance to alleged "standards" of the Modern American Right ) but I sure do love me some Jeebus!

So what happens when the Republican Debates ramp up and Newt has this thrown back in his face? Will that even happen? We've been accustomed to Right Wingers not heavily pressing their own. And if it's Palin that is questioned, then the entirety of the Modern American Right gets all twisted into knots that they don't know how to act. I'd look for the "rules" to change dramatically come May when Republicans gather at the Shrine of St. Ronnie - without Sister Sarah.

Maybe she's going to skip the other debates too because "she loves America and Baby Jesus so much" too?

EXIT QUESTION: I normally leave the "what ifs" to my ideological opponents, but wouldn't it have been great had Clinton used this as his excuse. It certainly would have made for great TV back then but likely would have made Newt's excuse even more preposterous than it already is.

Sexual Politics Of Race

In which there is more race baiting over at Fox"Nation", supplied by the Murdock-owned New York Post

White people report having less sex than members of other races, according to a study released Monday on ethnicity and sleeping habits in America. However, they don’t have the least amount, the study found.

According to The National Sleep Foundation’s 2010 Sleep in America, African-Americans and Hispanics are more likely to report having sex. Ten percent of blacks and Hispanics responded that they had sexual relations every night or almost every night in the one hour before going to sleep. Four percent of whites answered the same, compared to 1 percent of Asians.

I'm not entirely sure that the study that was intended to find or how the results were going to be used, but this is a classic example of how racial animus flourishes within the conservative community.

Here are just a few of the comments:

TRADITIONAL VALUES
White folks just don't pop kids out like it is a hobby or something cool. We do it abiding to our faith as well the proper time in financial matters.

conservative and proud
Look at all the welfare recipients, Mostly black or hispanic. They push out the kids and then don't bother to parent them. White people work, raise a family and take care of their own business. We are tired from living a full,respondsible life. My husband and i are very happy with our lives, thank you very much.

Does that mean us white folk don't rape as much?

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT, WE WHITE FOLKS HAVE TO WORK TO KEEP THE OTHER SLACKER AND DRUG PUSHERS IN THE WELFARE STYLE THAT THEY ARE USED TO.

So according to the patrons at Fox"Nation", non-whites ( primarily blacks judging from the comments ) are anti-religious welfare queen rapists that squirt out kids as a hobby while peddling drugs on the side.

What was that again about there being no racism within the conservative movement?

That Was A Really Long Decade

( h/t Scholars and Rogues )



Looking back not only at the decade, but where I was 10 years ago, it really amazes me at times that the country isn't more screwed up than it already is.

The Magic Of Jesus

Of all the suggestions on how to regain the favor of the American public after having multiple sexual trysts, I'm thinking that this one has just won the award for greatest use of the Bible:



Because as conservatives know, the more people know that you love Jesus, the more women you can fuck.

Opposite Marriage XXX

Turns out she just might be a "loose" lady rather than a "Luce" lady.

Carrie Prejean demanded more than a million dollars during her settlement negotiations with Miss California USA Pageant officials -- that is, until the lawyer for the Pageant showed Carrie an XXX home video of her handiwork.

The video the lawyer showed Carrie is extremely graphic and has never been released publicly. We know that, because TMZ obtained the video months ago but decided not to post it because it was so racy. Let's just say, Carrie has a promising solo career.

We're told it took about 15 seconds for Carrie to jettison her demand and essentially walk away with nothing.

I wonder what Fox"News" and conservative bloggers and pundits think of their second-favorite pageant girl now?

Breaking News: Meghan McCain Has Tits - Twitter Followers Goes Nuts

I follow lots of people on Twitter - from the average joe and jane, to businessmen, porn-stars, politicos, other bloggers, and yes, Meghan McCain. She's not always someone that I agree with and there is still that spektre of John McCain being her day, but she's still a more tolerable than say Mary Kathrine Ham and not nearly as single-minded as that Scott Baio kid from Happy Days. But when people get incensed about this pic:



Then what's really going on?

I honestly didn't recognize her at first, but realized it was here. What I didn't expect was to hear that she was suddenly branded a slut. Was it the fact that she like Warhol? Was it her pseudo-90s banana-clip hair-style? Oh, it's the boobs.

You know, for all the salivating that men in the Republican party did over Sarah Palin, of all the adoration that was showered upon her simply because of her cougarish looks, why suddenly are people enraged by Meghan McCain's sweater tigers?

Yes, she's good looking and has a great pair of baby feeders. Are Republican women not supposed to be proportionate in this way? Apparently some think so. People are quite perculiar at times in their behavior towards women that are attractive, and this is just another example of that.

It apparently got so bad that Meghan was considering deleting her Twitter account:

why I have been considering deleting my twitter account, what once was fun now just seems like a vessel for harassment.

If she quits, then she quits, but if she lets the puritanical ravings of a small segment of the Twitterati get to her like that, then she really needs to toughen-up. She certainly handled the Laura Ingraham dust-up better than this.

Happy Anniversary O'Reilly

It seems like only yesterday that we first heard from a woman named Andrea Mackris.

In her complaint, Mackris produced quotations from phone conversations between herself and O’Reilly in which he suggested various sexual fantasies he had for her. A widely publicized portion of one conversation included a scenario where O'Reilly would massage her with a loofah in the shower. At one point during the conversation, O'Reilly referred to the loofah as "the falafel thing." "Falafel" eventually became a short-hand reference to the affair.

The complaint alleged a number of other sexual conversations and encounters from O'Reilly toward Mackris,as well as O'Reilly stating that radio talk show host Al Franken would "get what was coming to him," and that any woman who crossed him or Fox would be destroyed.

I wonder if his wife reminds him of this every morning on October 13th over breakfast.

"Good morning dear. Here's your coffee. Remember what today is?"

Suck On Their Sticky-Sweat-Icy-Balls

With Burger King, who's ads have been increasingly sexual in a more creepy way, Hardees tends to go for the straight-forward approach. Although the Carl Jrs. end of this franchise consistantly equates burgers with cheap, tarted-up whores, this commercial has its own unique, and comical, approach.

Truth In Advertising

Would you like fries or an apple-pie with your cock sandwich?

Fellowship Of The Promise Rings

Pledges are something that sound great at the time.

It may make your parents happy, or even give you this false sense of accomplishment.

So, is it any wonder that premarital abstinense pledges are ineffective?

Teenagers who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and are significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control when they do, according to a study released today.

The new analysis of data from a large federal survey found that more than half of youths became sexually active before marriage regardless of whether they had taken a "virginity pledge," but that the percentage who took precautions against pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases was 10 points lower for pledgers than for non-pledgers.

But, this study comes with those that are claimed that the analysis has an "ideological tilt":

"It is remarkable that an author who employs rigorous research methodology would then compromise those standards by making wild, ideologically tainted and inaccurate analysis regarding the content of abstinence education programs," said Valerie Huber of the National Abstinence Education Association.

More from the Washington Post.


If you want some solid proof that teens are having sex - and most likely unprotected sex - here's your fun fact of the day:

Bristol Palin, the 18-year-old daughter of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, gave birth on Sunday to a healthy 7 lb., 4 oz., baby boy in Palmer, Alaska.

Bizarre Sex Laws

Did you know that you could have sex with the animal of your choice in Tacoma, Washington? However, if that porcupine happened to be clinically obese, you're in trouble - that is if you get caught. You can't have sex with your boyfriend or girlfriend in Georgia. If an 'underage' couple have consentual sex - in most states - it's considered 'statutory rape'. However, if she/he’s your cousin, you’re both over 65, and that's your sort of bag, head to Utah where you can get married!

If you watch much cable news, you'll notice that there is a preponderance of stories about 'sex'. If you watch The O'Reilly Factor on Fox, there's are LOTS of stories about sex. This isn't proof that the world is devolving into a depraved, man-on-dog, booze-fueled orgy. The only thing that it proves is that O'Reilly ( and those like him ) create the illusion that the country is in such a state because of their compulsive nature to do story after story after story that are sexual in nature.

But, when one take a look, there are lots of strange laws in the US governing sex.
