Wedgies

My apology for not posting in quite awhile. I use the tired excuse that I have been busy. There, that’s out of the way. (One of my activities was being afforded the honor of serving as guest host on The Peter Heck radio talk show – WIOU 1350, Kokomo – a couple of days in early October. Even though a nervous venture, I had a blast!)

The Democrat Party (henceforth the DNC) has been giving conservative Christians and the Republican Party (RNC) a wedgie; to wit, they have been trying to put a wedge in between conservative Christians and the RNC on the basis of the Foley scandal. In summation, the DNC wedgie declares that the RNC is hypocritical and no longer the political party that reflects the values of the conservative Christians.

Foley’s actions are a reprehensible scandal. They certainly do not reflect the values of the conservative Christian voters who elected him or any Republican to office. But this does not, by any stretch of the imagination, make the DNC the default values political party for conservative Christians.

Conservative Christians know a thing or two about hypocrisy. When we face our relationship with God with genuine honesty, we know that we fall far short of His glory. We also know that God’s initiative, and His alone, has provided the way to forgiveness and reconciliation. God’s way is confessional belief in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Even though he should face the appropriate judicial action through the American legal system, Mark Foley can be forgiven by His Lord if he sincerely seeks forgiveness and reconciliation available to any penitent believer.

So let’s investigate further the acts of hypocrisy being committed in the DNC wedgie. L. Brent Bozell III has an illuminating article titled “Democrats on Sex and Children.” He writes, “Let's get to the point: Since when have Democrats like Nancy Pelosi cared, really cared, about men seeking out boys for sex? There's an organized lobby for this perversion: the National Man-Boy Love Association. In 1997, NAMBLA made national headlines when a 10-year-old Massachusetts boy named Jeffrey Curley was abducted by two men, choked on a gasoline-soaked rag when he wouldn't consent to sex, murdered and then sexually assaulted. Curley's parents sued NAMBLA, since one of the killers said he was discouraged from following his fiendish desires until the organization encouraged him. The Curleys' lawyer explained how the group instructed perverts on how to lure children into sex, citing a NAMBLA publication… "The Survival Manual: The Man's Guide to Staying Alive in Man-Boy Sexual Relationships." What does this have to do with the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi [D-CA, House Minority leader]? …NAMBLA easily found lawyers to defend them against the parents of the murdered boy -- the American Civil Liberties Union. Democrats like Pelosi are demanding that every Republican return any dirty Foley contributions they received, but do you think a single one of them has ever returned a dime generated for their coffers by the ACLU? The American Spectator reported that in a 2001 "gay pride" parade in San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi was just three spots in the parade from radical gay advocate Harry Hay, who avidly spoke in favor of sex with teens and fiercely advocated for NAMBLA's inclusion in gay-pride parades. Did Pelosi ever protest NAMBLA's presence in parades?”

Mr. Bozell continues that the left has been quietly attempting to reclassify teenage girls as women so that their “right” to abortion can remain a private part of their “women’s medical records.” Pointing out the obvious, he also asks that “…if liberal Democrats think sex between adults and children is gravely wrong, why are they accepting massive donations from Hollywood?” It certainly comes as no surprise that the entertainment industry portrays sexual activity among teenagers in a more than positive light. One plot pushed by the unfortunately popular “Desperate Housewives” included the very theme that the DNC is now decrying: “Bree, the red-headed Desperate Housewife, started seeing a man who was not only a drunk, but a sex addict. Bree's children then started trying to seduce him, and ultimately their mother came home to find her gay teenage son, Andrew, in the bedroom with her new beau. For ABC, this was all a delicious plot twist, a naughty giggle. No one was outraged. No Democrat returned contributions from Disney.”

The DNC the values party of choice for conservative Christians? I think not. No wedgie for this conservative Christian!

Don’t forget to vote on November 7th!
