There’s More To Civility Than Not Using Bad Words

I was going to ignore David Anderson’s post yesterday on “Culture,” but then he went and posted this nonsense – charmingly titled “Not everyone wants to be a slut.”  Seems that in David’s world there are only two types of women:  good girls and sluts.  Which shouldn’t be surprising given his sanctimonious rantings on the Sex Offender Registry thread.

As for the young woman in GA, she deserved to have a record. She was older, yet she gave oral sex in public around younger children. How can anyone not have a problem with that? At the time she was a disgusting person and so was her partner.

Notice how David states that she gave oral sex.  A few comments later he follows up with this gem.

If you can’t say “that is a disgusting human being who would do that in a public place with children present”, then you have no standards sufficient to have a civilized society.

Seriously?  Who died and left David in charge of the standards of a civilized society?  And why can’t I say they were stupid kids who did a stupid thing?

Which now brings us to his stellar post from yesterday, in which he claims:

This is the reason the Liberals spend so much attention in trying to undermine the culture. They understand that if one respects private property than the politics of greed have no play. They understand that if marriage and family are central that their freewheeling lifestyles have no support. They understand that a society with strong families doesn’t need cradle to grave government. They understand that a society which respects life over license won’t buy into secular model. The best way to protect a free economy is a strong culture. The best way to pass on a strong constitution is with a strong culture.

So according to David liberals are greedy people with freewheeling lifestyles who rely on government, have no respect for life, and are anti-religion.  Not very civil, but since he didn’t use the F-bomb I guess he gives himself a pass.  Hmm… I seem to remember the bible saying something about let he who is without sin cast the first stone and judge not, that ye be not judged.  And the writings above seem to be those of a judgmental, stone-thrower.  They are not civil.  They are insulting and pompous.

And one more thing… having religion does not make you morally or ethically superior to anyone.  It is not a trump card.  If anything, it’s the lose the argument card.

Conservatives Are The Reason Support For Gay Marriage Is Rising

Conservatives are becoming hysterical, and their rhetoric proves it.

“The NOM has argued that it is not a homophobic organization, but Card’s remarks suggest otherwise. Card, who represents the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the board and received an effusive welcome last week from NOM president Maggie Gallagher, supports criminalizing sex between same-sex adults:

Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books…to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society’s regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens.

“Card has also advocated overthrowing the government if same-sex marriage is permitted:

How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.

Biological imperatives trump laws. American government cannot fight against marriage and hope to endure. If the Constitution is defined in such a way as to destroy the privileged position of marriage, it is that insane Constitution, not marriage, that will die.

Mortal enemy?  Destroy that government?  Insane Constitution, not marriage, that will die?  And my personal favorite:  flagrantly violate society’s regulation of sexual behavior.

And then there’s our local conservative with one of my all-time favorite comments:

When you go to the great white throne judgment, God won’t ask your tax policy. He will judge your abortion policy. Money is not the be all end all.

Besides your long run economic policies are scary. There won’t be many rich white guys left or black women or Latinos for that matter. The American dream will be on life support until Sarah Palin comes and saves us all.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to present the 21%.  Actually, with talk like this my money is on that number dropping lower.  Conservatives are on a suicide march, and they’re intent on dragging what’s left of the Republican Party (all 10 of them) over the cliff with them.  Face it moderates, you’re outnumbered within the current ranks of your party.  You missed the opportunity to get a handle on your social conservatives.  For years you’ve relied on this group for votes, knowing darn well that compromise wasn’t part of their vocabulary.  Now, the table has flipped, and not to get all biblical on you, but… you’ve reaped what you’ve sown.
