“Virginia is for lovers”

Dog lovers. GAY dog lovers. Or does pig on dog make it bestiality?

Stupid as this is, I really don’t think spanking the dog’s monkey is a crime.

OMG! I agree with Cass Sunstein on something

Marriage. And here, predictably, is WND getting their tits in an uproar over it.

Of course the organ-donor and abortion stuff is way out there.

Banging 13 trumps free exercise of religion?

Here’s an incredible tale of a man who can’t attend the church of his choice because he once had sex with a teen girl, and later had a rape conviction…and there’s a child care in the church.

The hysteria about child abuse needs to stop, now.  Pre-pubescent? Yeah, I’d vote for anatomical alteration. But doing teenagers, which was normal through most of the history of mankind?  Maybe not a good idea, maybe something that needs some legal sanction, but nothing to lose civil rights over. Ask Loretta Lynn’s family.

I wish his suit well. It looks like it has merit to me, but the courts are notorious these days for bending over backwards to support government power.

“Lion of the Senate, tapeworm of the vulva”

…gross but accurate comment at Ace’s story about the National Enquirer’s claim that Uncle Teddy claimed “mille e tre” (well, “over a thousand”) conquests in his memoirs but that it got edited out.

Obama wants your foreskin

Well, not personally…it’s probably more accurate to say that “some nameless bureaucrat at the CDC wants your foreskin.” But it’s for your own good, of course…because men don’t have the control to keep the most tender part of their body out of places where they shouldn’t even put their umbrellas. So let’s rough it up a little, shall we?

And it’s nice to see a woman standing up for us.

ELCA goes queer

It’s not enough to commune with known abortionists; now they’re fixing to hire open and actively gay pastors, as long as they’re in a “lifelong monogamous relationship.” So does pastor get fired if he’s caught at the bathhouse, even if his partner consents?

Opponents of the statement argue that adopting the statement would constitute abandonment of Scripture, as the Bible does not support homosexual behavior. Supporters, however, say the document maintain that it is consistent with the biblical command to care for one’s neighbor and build trusting relationships.

So, do I have a Biblical mandate to caringly give my neighbor an orgasm if she needs one? Hmmm, maybe I should have stayed “Lutheran”; I could have saved all that pagan wandering-in-the-wilderness back when I was too big a horndog to accept God’s Law. Maybe I don’t need the scare quotes around “Lutheran”; Unca Marty thought that priestly celibacy was optional too, Get started with heresy, and there’s just no end.

I don’t imagine we’ll see an ECUSA-style breakup, though we might see some larger LCMS congregations.

UPDATE: They done did it, thanks to “thinking” like this:

Sara Gross of the Oregon Synod said some “dear members” of the church will be lost if the resolution passes. But, she said, “A vote to reject this recommendation sends a message to the world saying ‘not all are welcome.’”

Hmmm, well, let’s not let any spiritual problem at all be an impediment to serving as clergy. Kleptomania, alcoholism, a fixation on touring the country proclaiming that ‘God hates fags’ –yeah, anything’s OK, because if we don’t hire the pastor because he’s a drunk, it sends a message that drunks aren’t welcome.

Gays (and drunks, thieves and Fred Phelps) need to be welcomed to the Church. That doesn’t mean telling them that gay behavior is OK. Clue by four: NONE OF OUR BEHAVIORS ARE OK! The urge to screw another guy is no worse than the urge to plank the hottie in the back pew, and there’s no reason why gay people shouldn’t be pastors. But a person who (heterosexually) philanders openly and says it’s because “God made me this way” has effectively given up the battle against sin, and is in no position to lead that battle. Nor is a gay person who insists that gay sex is OK in such a position.

No Obama baby boom

On Nov. 4, the hope and happiness seemed boundless for supporters of President-elect Barack Obama, leading some to speculate, with a wink and a nod, that in nine months there would be a virtual Obama baby boom — a celebratory uptick in the national birthrate.

But now, 40 weeks later — the average human gestation period — MSNBC is reporting the prediction has largely been nothing more than, well, false hope. In reality, experts said, a generation is not borne from one night.

Well, duh. The people who would celebrate the election of The One are the folks using birth control and having abortions. The folks who actually make, raise and support babies were in no mood. So it all cancelled out. But there are now too many babies named Barack…which should reduce the supply of Tyrells and Antwons.

Linda straightens out Harry

Remember Harry and Pepper, the two allegedly-gay penguins at the San Francisco Zoo?

Apparently Harry isn’t.

from the People’s Commissar for Sexual Enlightenment

The Cleveland Journal of Bourgeois Marxist Culture has taken umbrage at abstinence-based sex ed, in an article entitled “CAN WE TAKE GOD OUT OF SEX ED, PLEASE?”

In her final comment, the only sincere-sounding statement in the entire interview, Huber reveals more than she probably intended: “Teens receive all the information necessary [from abstinence education] to make a good decision regarding their sexual health.” In other words, they get all the information people like Huber believe they should get, in order to make the decision that people like Huber want them to make.

Any sex ed that goes beyond the science of reproduction and reproductive health is similarly prejudiced. Frank Lewis doesn’t want God in sex ed; doesn’t that lead teens to make decisions that Lewis wants them to make?  The problem is in having a state monopoly on education, and using that to teach values. But is abstinence-ed per se a bad thing? Lewis says it’s ineffective. That’s because it’s facing down a cultural tsunami pushed by people like Frank Lewis. If it was so ineffective, then it’s a good thing we aren’t stuck with the illigitimacy and VD rates of the 1950s, right?

Consider this:

Whatta we gonna tell your mama
Whatta we gonna tell your pa
Whatta we gonna tell our friends when they say “ooh-la-la” …
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked, our reputation is shot

The interesting thing about the Everly Brothers “Wake up, little Susie” is that the trouble is more widespread than breaking a parental curfew. There’s a societal rule involved as well…anyone sleeping together all night is obviously sexually active, and that’s a bad thing. There’s peer pressure for chastity. Can you imagine these lyrics in a hit song nowadays? (I’d love to hear a hip-hop group do a cover of this, but you know they’d only do it ironically.)

Hey, I’m a veteran of the sexual revolution, and have the battle scars (2 failed marriages, etc.) to prove it. I was born the year before “Wake up, little Susie” came out, and hit puberty somewhere between the Summer of Love and Kent State. So I’ve seen some history and some changes…which I suspect Lewis has not. Dissing the abstinence message shows a certain lack of perspective and maturity. Neither of us gets a vote on whether any individual is sexually active, though we’d offer different advice.  But the tone is a bit like those Communist countries in which everything not forbidden was mandatory.
