I quit.
I give up.
Ive spent the past two years a television junkie, binging for days on 24/7 news channels, desperately trying to make some sense out of what anybody was saying. Today I saw something that proved to me that Im just not up for the task.
Im going to put away my philosophy, anthropology and poli sci books, and go dig into some good ol Marry Higgans Clark. Better yet, Ill go watch friends, you dont need to move your eyes across the pages, and its almost like youre not even thinking at all.
Ann Coultier was on Crossfire. Thats what did me in.
You know, attractive blond Nazi. She got fired from the National Review last year; theyre just ultra conservative, whereas shes OH-MY-GOD-YOU-DID-NOT-JUST-SAY-THAT conservative. Some of her greatest one liners have been, Bomb them, kill their leaders and forcibly convert them to Christianity, and, They should be rounding up any swarthy skinned young man trying to get onto an airplane.
Anyway, they were talking about, what else; war. War in Iraq.
What do ya know, shes all for it.
Civilian casualties be damned, we need to bomb Saddam out of Iraq. Any women or children that get caught in the crosshairs on our way to Saddam are acceptable losses. Collateral damage isnt even worth talking about.
She never got too clear about the why of it all- something about how we need to drain the swamp, and not worry weather each and every mosquito is bad. Bomb the shit out of every AyRab you see, and by sheer probability youre bound to get a couple of the EVIL ONES along the way...
Apparently.
Now, heres where my mind begins to warp a little. A couple of weeks ago she was on another program talking about celibacy.
Shes all for it.
People should never have sex outside of marriage. (Her logic was a little fuzzy there too, but what she lacks in sense she more than makes up for in her ability to badger anyone who doesnt share her opinion.)
After they talked about the raising rate of teens identifying themselves as celibate on a center of disease control survey (a jump from 10% to 11%), and the need to teach little Johnny to keep it in his pants or hell die of aids, they turned to the one dark spot of the survey.
A large increase in kids having oral sex. This, to hear her say it, is BAD BAD BAD. A sign of or moral degeneration as a culture, a pox from the Evil days of President Clinton you can almost see the venom dripping off of her tongue when she pronounces his name-a sign of the scourge that the liberal media, and leftist academics with their doctrines of moral relativism have wrought on us...
Which I found confusing as all hell. I would think that, as a dogmatic Christian, shed be all for oral sex. From my experience its as close to following Christs Golden Rule of do unto others..., as most people get in their relations with other people.
So there you go. Oral Sex is bad. Cluster Bombs are good.
That someone could hold a world-view without her head exploding is beyond me. The fact that they could spout it on national television from day to day and have other people treat them as if they were at all coherent makes me want to drop to the floor and crawl for Canada (remember-the smoke will kill you before the fire does)
Unfortunately, they dont take viewer calls, so I wasnt able to ask Ann the question thats been burning a hole through my mind ever since:
Would collateral blow jobs be acceptable if they occurred in pursuit of the ultimate goal of eliminating weapons of mass destruction?
I give up.
