The Theater of the Absurd Still Attracts Audience

The last GOP debate before "super Tuesday" took place yesterday with hyperbole and hubris at center stage.  I liked the audience booing too. This theater of the absurdity is beyond critical evaluation; it's entertainment of the lowest (and we know how low this is) common denominator in Republican politics today.

Here's a better, funnier, cleverer clip of Jon Stewart. Enjoy! Don't even think why so many Americans actually believe the crap the conservatives have been dishing out, because you'll probably weep.

No SEX for Pleasure? Surely, they're fucking with us...

Warning: If you're offended by sex or don't want to think about sex (I know, it's too late now, don't read the following post, which is about sex, since the current controversy about contraception centers on sexual activity. Otherwise, those nuts wouldn't be obsessing about sex. So, you are forewarned. And, don't look at the picture below).


Sex! We are all here because of sex! This is what the "designer" requires. So, what's the problem? Oh, I see, sex is not for pleasure, they tell us. But, Wait! Men must have some pleasure while doing it, otherwise, you know, nothing comes out of it. Sex only within marriage then? Should a couple have sex only when sex is not for sex's sake but when sex is for procreation? Once such a couple obtains the desired number of offspring, no more sex since contraception isn't moral. Right?

Contraception must be immoral then. Why? I guess because having fun while having sex, or having sex for fun is too much for those wingnuts who ..know that the creator of the universe cares only about designer sex!

An appropriate solution to those who oppose contraception?

And, we're instructed by persons who have the least experience in (good, mature) sex, that sex isn't good for us. Many of the strongest advocates of this nuttery today are those clergy who looked the other way or even shielded the many perverts who've raped thousands of children. Ah, yes, add to them a bunch of conservative religious pricks in the US who stick their heads in our private affairs instead of sticking their heads in the usual place--whether the sun doesn't shine.

No fucking for pleasure, because, god-knows where this may lead.... Or, is it using contraception the main problem? Maybe that's why those rapists in the church overwhelmingly chose to molest--you know, orally and anally--children of the faithful. Ergo, no need for contraception there.  

Did you notice that God didn't do anything about it while this was taking place in his house of worship. Not one of those sodomites was struck dead. Maybe god is OK with it. Or, maybe he doesn't really care what the fuck we humans do down here. It's up to us to decide what's good or bad! It's up to us to think whether it makes sense to use contraceptives to plan family size and for women's health. It's up to us to rationally think and act without some false divine and private revelation, and without the perverse interpretation of some inane passage in the book god allegedly wrote.

It's, therefore, up to us to fuck however we want, among consenting adults, and have fun while doing it. Those who dislike sex do not have to have it. Or, they do not have to use contraceptives. But, most importantly, they should stay the fuck out of our way.
