He’s Rick Perry, what exactly were you expecting?

I’ve been watching the backlash on Twitter from Gov. Rick Perry’s latest gay bashing political ad, ‘Strong.’ I only read a few hundred comments, but out of that I didn’t see a single positive one. the comments that I thought were really amusing were the ones that say something like, “Gov. Perry, I’m very disappointed in you. You are running for president, so you really need to get your act together.”

My friends, he’s a politician. What did you expect? He’s playing the numbers, and trying to gain support from his Evangelical Christian base. He will say anything to move himself closer to the end of getting elected. Most politicians are sociopaths. To expect them to be honest and moral is like expecting a gangbanger to start helping old ladies across the street.

Oh, and I just noticed that his ad now has nearly a half-million dislikes to just a few thousand likes on Youtube. I think that’s some kind of record.

 

When Swingers come a swinging

My wife was approached by a known ‘swinger’ yesterday. She apparently wanted her to “come over to her house” this weekend, to “have a good time.” Denice was pretty embarrassed by the request, and didn’t know how to respond.

I don’t know exactly what the lady had in mind, but I’m assuming, “have a good time” to a swinger probably involves some sort of kinky sex… possibly involving more than two participants. When I was a Christian fundamentalist, being propositioned like this would have most likely triggered a hostile, knee-jerk reaction from me. Back then I was pretty by the book about sex. It was only supposed to happen with two people, of different genders, and only within the confines of a church/state sanctioned marital union. Oh, and only the missionary position, in the dark was kosher.

I remember getting hit on once by a gay fellow. Well, it was more flirting that getting ‘hit on,’ but I didn’t respect the difference back then. I blasted the guy. I think I may have even pulled Leviticus 18:22 on him. Looking back on the encounter today, I regret my behavior. This guy was really nice, and in spite of my rudeness, was respectful of my beliefs. Today, I would have handled things much differently. I think I would feel honored that someone, whether male or female, found me attractive and/or interesting enough to inquire about getting to know me on an intimate level. I would probably thank them for their interest, but explain to them that I am already in a very fulfilling relationship.
