The Fundamentalist Right: an oxymoron

I know that for the next four years we’ll have to get used to seeing odd ironies and logic that just don’t make sense to those of us who live outside of the faith-based community. Expect a lot of the oddness to center on sex.
Fundamentalists don't want sex education in the schools. Abstinence is the answer. Ever notice most of these folks who preach abstinence as a way to temper appetites are 75 pounds overweight? Go to Disneyland just to be sure.
Masturbation is a sin. They call masturbation "self abuse". Masturbation is "abuse" and boxing is a sport. I personally only once suffered a knockout, but I was in training.
They don't want teenagers to have condoms, in that "Silence of the Lambskins" campaign they’re running. Then they still try to blame teen sex on rock and roll music. Teenagers have sex because they're horny and because of peer pressure. If you're going to peg teen sex on rock and roll, why don't we just blame incest on Country and Western?

Regarding a woman’s right to choose, everyone is entitled to their beliefs; this is America. My belief happens to be that life begins when you start minding your own fucking business. I have a theory that the religious right wants to haul all of the coat hangers out of the closet to make room for the gays they want to shove back in. Remember, class: "Sodomy is evil". Unless it's a Glow Stick up an Iraqi prisoner's ass, lighting the way for Freedom across the globe. Then it's a Toby Keith song.
And, finally, they refuse to believe in evolution. Which I can understand, actually. Because if you subscribe to the theory of evolution, well then, there's a tacit obligation to PARTICIPATE in evolution. For some people that's a little too much pressure. Notice it's always the people with recessive genes who don't believe in evolution? "I believe in Creationism," they’ll say. Really? I believe in critical thought. But then again, my reading matter is a little more up to date than yours.

back when the youngsters were dumb enough to fall for most of the longstanding morals and values of their parents and grandparents. (Not all of which I thought were wrong btw, but many were) But the 60's came along and pretty much blew the smoke away from he mirrors and left the morals and values landscape bare for all to see. And a lot of it was repressive and cruel and so we changed it into something we liked and could live with. The status quo was challenged back then and was mortally wounded. These wingers and evangelists are trying to revive that model. As for me, I will openly mock and deride their foolish attempts to legislate morality. I think I'll go sin somehow now, just for the fun of it, who's with me?
