Hey, homosexuality is only natural

According to Barack Obama, the United States is not a Christian nation, yet we are a Muslim “country.” In fact, many on the left would tell you that our founding fathers wanted to keep religion out of our government completely. That, my friends, is a different discussion for different day. But, what if we discount Christian morality? What, then, do we use to gauge right and wrong? Many would say that we only have to turn to nature and observe what the animals do. Hence, right and wrong should be defined, not by what is moral, but what is natural.

Homosexuality is natural. Take a look at penguins, and you will quickly see that homosexual couples are perfectly normal. Some gay penguin couples even pretend that rocks are eggs. Isn’t that sweet? Yes, modern society frowns upon the act of homosexuality, but nature is nature. So, how then can one disagree with human homosexuality when it has been documented in nature? I guess, you can’t. One can only apologize for being so closed-minded. I feel stupid — well, ignorant to be honest. How could I have been so callous? How could I have joined in on the frowning by an uniformed society? Maybe it’s bigotry…or maybe, it’s just civility. So, let’s talk about nature.

Homosexuality is natural. Yes, and polygamy is natural, too. Did you know that, in many species, one male procreates with many females? Well, you should. That knowledge would help you to justify a lot of the problems in humanity. I mean, a man’s natural instinct is to spread his seed, so how can you credibly chastise him for that? Adultery? Polygamy? Well, they’re just natural.

Have you ever heard of competitive infanticide (look under poygany)? It’s not really a big deal, but where in some species, males will kill other younger males to perpetuate their own virility. You know, eliminate the competition, like in business. Every human male would naturally kill a young boy to stop him from copulating with females, right? So what about murder? Relax, it’s only natural.

Let’s talk about nature. I hate you. You threaten me. I will kill you. That’s natural, right? You can’t judge me for killing you, because it happens in nature in almost every species. See that young girl over there? I think I want to have sex with her. I’ll try to make it quick, because, I – am – starving! Is KFC still open? Hey, if you don’t like it, well, I’ll just kill you. No, no, and absolutely no! You cannot punish me, because who are you? My behavior is 100% natural. Check science, buddy.

Monkeys fling their own poop at each other. Of course, it’s just a natural occurrence. What human doesn’t throw poop at other people in the heat of an argument? Uh, well, the civilized ones. That’s who.

I am so sick and tired of listening to the silver-tongued devils on the left — feeding us poetic words of love and acceptance. If they want to use nature as justification, then they need to be prepared to justify a whole world of evil. They need to be ready to release every murderer, rapist, child molester and thief in prison today, because those “crimes” are not crimes at all.

You see, any level-headed liberal would inform you that these actions are, well, only natural.

 
Bipartisan ethics committee throws paper at Sen. Larry Craig

It was a tough year for Senator Larry Craig (R-Idaho). In 2007 he was arrested in a "men's room sex sting" operation for which he pled guilty. He also tried to use his position and influence to procure special treatment after his arrest. Following that, he spent more than $213,000 dollars in campaign money to pay for legal and public relations expenses.

A few eyebrows were raised, but Craig went back to work: business as usual in Washington.

Then something snapped among Craig's peers when he recently tried to retract his guilty plea. The bipartisan Senate Ethics Committee decided enough was enough and swung into action. Did they move to censure Craig? No. Did they move to have him expelled? No. Instead, these beacons for "truth, justice and the North American way" had something else in mind for this profligate senator. They decided….to write him a letter.

Yes, it was a grand show of Republicans and Democrats putting their best foot…er, uh..feet forward to show they can truly work together to give one of their own yet another break.
They wrote:

"Your claims to the court … to the effect that your guilty plea resulted from improper pressure or coercion, or that you did not, as a legal matter, know what you were doing when you pled guilty do not appear credible."

In the same story the AP went on to report that:

"Any future use of campaign money for legal bills will be seen as 'demonstrating your continuing disregard of ethics requirements,' the ethics committee wrote in its three-page letter."

Gee…I thought he already disregarded ethics requirements when he tried to solicit sex in a bathroom of the Minneapolis airport.

And for that, he keeps his job, (sans "several GOP leadership positions on Senate committees and subcommittees") and gets a nice little letter from the ethics committee telling him he was a bad boy.

Censorship? Expulsion? Naaaaaah….he learned his lesson; We'll just, ya know…give him a piece of paper telling him he should know better and we'll let the entire free world read it. That'll teach him. When it comes to disciplining one of our own, we don't mess around.

That's what I call zero tolerance….for doing the right thing. What a bunch of pansies.

 
MADD- or just Mildly Annoyed?

Back in the 1980s, I remember MADD being just about everywhere, pushing their message that drunk driving is wrong, that it kills. I totally agreed with them.

But somehow, over the years, the mad in MADD seems to have lost its temper, literally: I just don't hear anything from MADD anymore.

Case in point, the story of Paige Grable. Paige was a senior at Providence High School, in Clarksville, Ind. One night, she decided to indulge in some underage drinking, as so many her age do. Alas, on the way home, Paige struck another car, carrying a classmate. As is so often the case, Paige survived and her classmate died.

She ended up getting sentenced to only 15 months in jail or the offense.

Then, just a week ago, there was talk of her being released early- because in only a few months of prison, she had earned her GED and her High School diploma. Apparently, these benchmarks qualify her for her for early release.

Skipping over the wrongness of letting killers out of jail because after they get caught they want to be good, my question is, "Where was MADD?" Why no statement from MADD, voicing their opinion? I sure didn't see anything in the news about MADD's view on the case.

Similarly, there was an even more troubling story concerning the recent election for the Jeffersonville City Court Judge. The previous Judge, Vickie Carmichael-D, was elected to the Clark Superior Court #1 in 2006. A replacement was appointed, local attorney and former prosecutor Scott Lewis-R. After the primaries, Mr. Lewis faced a single opponent, Ken Pierce-D, a slightly younger attorney. While not formerly a Prosecutor, Mr. Pierce did have a familiarity with the City Court- he'd been convicted there for Public Intoxication. The conviction was part of a plea deal in a drunken driving arrest.

After Mr. Lewis's campaign sent out a very tacky postcard, pointing out Pierce's prior conviction, folks began whining about how he (Pierce) "made a mistake"; "he's learned from his mistakes"; "he's man enough to admit he made a mistake" etc. etc.

Blagh.

I know there will always be idiots who don't care that former criminals run for office. Heck, at least half the elected officials in this country undoubtedly have committed some kind of crime. But where's MADD?

If I went to a MADD drunk driving educational presentation and pointed out that the drivers who killed the MADD founders' kids just "made a mistake" and we shouldn't hold it against them, I'd probably be lynched.

Aw well, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I think I'll go get me one of those cool beer can hats and hit the road with a six pack. After all, everybody makes mistakes.
