I am Old - and Conservative

I am old and conservative. I’m good with that. I really don’t mind. I know I’m old because my kid is feeling old. But that’s a different problem.

Today, Ann Coulter’s book Godless hit the markets. The first chapter was published at www.townhall.com. I read it. I agreed with it. It printed out on 14 pages. I totally enjoyed reading it. I want to buy the whole book.

She points out the idiocy of the theocracy of liberals. Liberalism is the state religion. The only other religion we are allowed to study is Islam.

I don’t know when I lost my country. I know that we keep trying. I am on a mailing list that has been discussing gay marriage and the horrific “suffering” foisted on gays by us horrible conservatives who won’t let them into a marriage. The horrid conservatives keep reiterating that we don’t give a flying rat’s ass if gays wish to have a union that is sanctioned with all the legal hoopla of tax breaks and insurance coverage. But, we point out, marriage consists of one husband and one wife.

Some liberal pointed out that she knows a couple who designate who is the husband and who is the wife in the same sex marriage. That’s pretty much like deciding that because I want to, I am now going to call a cow a horse. If there are children involved in this couple’s union, can you imagine the confusion about having one woman be your mother/the wife and the other woman being your father/the husband? Just too bizarre.

Back to Ms. Coulter. She speaks about the liberal agenda with the sanctity of life. Pointing out that humans are nothing special, we are just another animal. And that for goodness sake, protect any and all other plants and animals at the cost of foolish humans. Especially if those humans are not yet born. Those humans count for absolutely nothing. I wonder if my impending grandchild knows he/she is absolutely nothing to some people. Because we don’t think that he or she is anything but prized.

Then there is the whole sex is for fun. Don’t worry about diseases. They will teach you about disease prevention. Because teens will have sex. And they mean WILL have sex. Abstinence is to be loathed and fun is the order of the day. And the night.

We have become so enchanted with seeking some place where no one feels bad about doing anything wrong. There should be no guilt. In order to find this place, we have decided that there is no right and wrong. There is only right. And you need never feel guilt because whatever you do, it is okay. Unless, of course, you wish to pray. Or save a fetus because you believe it is a baby. Or be a consumer. Or eat meat. Then you should, by something that might or might not be God, feel guilty.
