Case in point: New Jersey passed a tough bill against bullying that requires schools and colleges to adopt anti-bullying programs and codes of conduct. What is wrong with that you may ask. Nothing! Anti-bullying laws should be mandatory all across America, but that is not the point here.
Groups of social conservatives in New Jersey opposed this bill...wait for it...here it comes...on the grounds that education provisions would legitimize gay marriage and force children to be taught about homosexuality in schools.
Better to have the school bully beat the crap out of little Billy or drive him to suicide than to have him turned into a fairy...right? It doesn't stop in New Jersey, there is more.
How about the fans of Dancing With The Stars getting their bloomers in a bunch over the possibility of a Bristol Palin win or loss? Where is all the righteous indignation over the fact that thousands - many, many thousands - of our American servicemen and women have died or come home with shattered minds and bodies from two insane and pointless wars?
You do know we are still involved in two wars, don't you? And, you aren't just sitting on your fat ass in front of the tube watching DWTS; you are supporting the war effort, right? Faded bumper stickers and torn American flags flapping from your car window don't count as support. That is just lip service.
While I am on a rant, my bride (who was there) said that travelers in the United Kingdom were getting fondled by airport security even back in 1975. So what makes us so special? Do we think the screeners get their jollies feeling up people who may have questionable hygiene habits? Who knows, this might be the only opportunity for intimacy that some of you will get all year. So, America, just quit whining, close your eyes and enjoy the moment. If it is really good you might be able to request a re-pat.
The body scanners bring up another interesting issue. Some of us are offended by the thought of someone looking at an image of our naked bodies. Here is a suggestion: get naked, look at yourself in the mirror (at home, please) and image how traumatized the screener is after a day of looking at wrinkled, pot-bellied grouches, with wads of flab oozing over their belts. Look around yourself at the airport and imagine these people naked. Are you getting sexually aroused?
Besides, if the TSA were to relax security measures and a plane was brought down by terrorists the uproar around the country would be deafening...and, it would all be Obama's fault, because that's how it is in the land of the free and the home of the delusional.
By the by, did you know that the boner from Ohio, John Boehner (R-I am one of you, sorta), can skip security? Being royalty doth have its privileges, but he doesn't know what he is missing.
