Where shall I begin, sex or the Supreme Court? If I start with the Supreme Court at least I know you will keep reading.
Wizbang has all the sites for and against Arlen Spector to head the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Monk has a good take on the leak of a possible Chief Justice Clarence Thomas. h/t McGehee.
It is truly beyond comprehension that abortion has become the number one deciding factor of judicial nominees. But don't look at Republicans. We have both pro-choice and pro-life senators and judges (not to mention bloggers). It is the democrats that are one minded on this.
What everyone knows is the whole Clarence Thomas confirmation debacle was about abortion. NARAL and NOW went moonbat insane over his nomination. They began a personal smear campaign the likes of which had never been seen before. How Justice Thomas withstood it is a testament to the kind of man he is. Not only full of integrity and honor, but one who wasn't going to let a bunch of hate filled abortion 'rights' zealots tear down a lifetime of hard work.
I am a advocate for the unborn child. Make no mistake about that. My generation of women were lied to and manipulated by the abortion industry. An industry that profits (big time) off the agony of women. But this isn't a post about the issue. It is, once again, a post about the RIGHT of those of us who are pro-life to have just as much of a say in what kind of country we want as the democrats do. (and moderate Republicans for that matter)
A friend of mine tells me that Spector owes Bush big time and will support his nominees. I wish I could believe it, but I don't. Spector may have supported Thomas in those viscous hearings, but my view was that Spector was so disgusted with Anita Hill that it overcame his absolute support for abortion. Spector is not a 'moderate' Republican, he is a liberal one. Period. And not just on the abortion issue, but on everything from school choice to racial preferences.
As NRO says:
"Specter votes like a Democrat until late in his term, when he remembers that he will need at least some conservatives on his side.."
I'm with NRO on this. And to all my fellow conservative bloggers who see Spector has just fine, just think about the absolute meltdown of the left if Thomas is confirmed as Chief Justice. We are talking head spinning and vomiting the likes of which one has not seen since the original Exorcist.
Wouldn't that be satisfying enough for you?
And to Glenn, Wizbang, Powerline, Jeff, and all the rest, you may disagree with me on this, but you know there is a southern saying: "you gotta dance with the one who brought you."
And we brought you Bush. So get your dancing shoes on and get out on the dance floor with us. And remember, Spector is not invited to this party.
Now on the sex part, but your not gonna like it. If you haven't heard about about the book "100 Strokes of the Brush Before Bed" by Melissa Panarello yet, you will. Melissa, an Italian girl from a middle class home was 16 years old 2 years ago and kept a diary. That diary (which is the book) is now published and being released this month in the U.S. It came out in July of 2003 in Italy. It was a runaway bestseller. To date it has been published in 23 countries. A best seller everywhere. Why would a 16 yr olds diary be a best seller? Well, sex of course.
Her catalogue of sexual escapades of lesbianism, sex with transvestites , and S & M adventures, one orgy, and several gang bangs, not to mention your garden variety heterosexual encounters is not something one might come to expect from a 16 yr old girl's diary, but there it is.
In reading reviews of this book I became not only sickened by the fact that so many want to read about this, but that no one reviewing it seems to be bothered by the fact that many of her sexual adventures were with overage men. In case your not up on this, it's called statutory rape, willing partner or not. You see, she was a minor. Maybe this isn't the case in Italy, I don't know. But is there any doubt the book will be a best seller here?
Please prove me wrong America. For God's sake, prove me wrong.
The feminists I read that reviewed the book saw it as some sort of poetic piece of sexual awareness. In an interview recently Melissa said that really all she was looking for was love. She thought she had found it with a 40 yr old man. She says..."He represented for me the father figure that in one way or another I've always been lacking."
Which really says it all for me. I don't know about her family life, but a little girl needs a father. A good father. She needs a father's love. I have always noticed and studies have shown that those little girls without that love go looking for it in other men in other ways and usually before they are emotionally or physically mature enough to even know what love is.
I hope to God, Melissa is a case for the extreme, but it does illustrate the importance of our culture on our children. When we conservatives talk values, we usually are always talking about our children. We are sick of a culture that has let adult sex and adult choices enter into the lives of our children.
Gosh, what a downer this post was. Today or tomorrow I will lighten up. I PROMISE!
I have to leave you with some good feelings...I just have to! Bush won, Arafat is dead/maybe dead/as good as dead. We are kicking ass in Fallujah, and most of the leftie bloggers seem to be in hibernation.
