You must favor, and live up to, abstinence before marriage.My children were born in this state. It's a curse! The good news is that this pledge effectively eliminates 99.9% of Republicans from running for office. Actually, now that I think about it, this eliminates 99.9 % of South Carolinians from being a Republican.
You must be faithful to your spouse. Your spouse cannot be a person of the same gender, and you are not allowed to favor any government action that would allow for civil unions of people of the same sex.
You cannot now, from the moment you sign this pledge, look at pornography.

Republicans ARE Rush Limbaugh
Rush Limbaugh wears a device on the side of his head that transmits sound into his head. He has to have this because he took so many Oxycontin pills that it deep fat fried his hearing. Rush also got caught coming back from a Caribbean island vacation with a satchel full of Viagra. It appears that the mouthpiece of the Republican Party has several physical problems that require medical intervention...his ears don't work, his penis requires chemical assistance, and his mouth won't shut until after the bile runs out and sloshes all over everything worthwhile in America. His foul and twisted utterances are what the Republican Party thinks of as political discourse.
Rush Limbaugh is a big fat bully. He picks on women. Rush called an accomplished young woman a slut and a prostitute for standing up and testifying for women's health issues, specifically the right of women to have contraceptive care included in employer provided health insurance in the same manner that Rush Limbaugh's Viagra is included in employer provided health insurance. Rush even went so far as to demand that he be given video of the woman using her contraception since Rush says he'll be paying for it. This foul person who is the spokesman for the Republican Party appears to have a diseased mind to go along with all of his other medical problems. He wants his Viagra but doesn't want Georgetown University Law student, Sandra Fluke, to have comparable women's health insurance coverage. For speaking out in public, Rush Limbaugh called her a slut. Rush is a dick.
President Obama called Sandra Fluke and told her that her parents should be proud of her.
Unfortunately, Rush Limbaugh and his brand of discourse is what the Republican Party has become as it continues dragging America into a dark putrid mess of a place. They have nothing to offer America except fear and hate and the coordinated lies necessary to make their gullible acolytes believe the myth of the day. Somehow setting standards for how businesses treat their employees has been transformed in the Republican mind into an attack on religious freedom when a church owns the business. Somehow the gullibles believe President Obama is going to "take our guns" now that the election approaches and Obama has said nor done anything of the sort. Somehow Obama is a Muslim even though a Muslim would have committed blasphemy in attending the same Christian church for twenty years. Somehow President Obama wasn't born in America even though his 17 year old expectant mother had no passport at the time she would have had to travel out of the United States to Africa and get back into this country with a newborn child who also would have had no passport. Somehow the flames of racism and hatred get fanned to rile up the gullible class while corporations destroy our clean air and clean water and our children's future on this planet in the name of getting despicably richer.
Just once I wish a Republican would sit with me and have an honest conversation on the policies of the Republican Party and how they will improve the lives of most Americans. They can't do it. Republicans are Rush Limbaugh.

Quote of the Day (Is the GOP really as Nuts as they seem?)
If they can distract you with their insane15th century views on subjugating women, maybe you won't notice that they're stealing the middle class blind...
The war on women’s health is first and foremost repugnant. It masquerades as a wedge issue to disguise the fact that the GOP and conservatives have not entered this current election period from a vantage point of strength on the economy or foreign policy.George Kennedy

Results Are In: Greed Class Might be Lying
We needed a scientific study to prove this?
In seven separate studies conducted on the UC Berkeley campus, in the San Francisco Bay Area and nationwide, UC Berkeley researchers consistently found that upper-class participants were more likely to lie and cheat when gambling or negotiating; cut people off when driving, and endorse unethical behavior in the workplace.Remember that every time you hear anyone say those big bad government regulations are hurting the economy, that what they're really saying is they want the referees off the field so they can cheat. So that brings us to the Quote of the Day:
If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.PJ O'Rourke

This is a Very Brave Young Lady
Previous post is here.
Christians would be better served to follow Jesus instead of the church in respecting religious matters that are different from their own. I tend to think that people who get irate over differing religious views do so because their own justification is rather weak. This young lady sees the ever present promotion of faith within her school as an oppressive thing and a violation of American principles.
See also Jack McElroy's piece, "If we shrink from controversy, we might as well not have a First Amendment." Jack also openly admits that his bosses tell him what he can publish in his newspaper.

The Christian faith cannot rule the United States. It is unconstitutional. Religion and government are supposed to be separate. If we let this slide, what other amendments to the Constitution will be ignored? I leave you to decide what you will or will not do, but just remember that nonbelievers are not what you originally thought we were. We are human beings — just like you...Krystal Myers, Editor Lenoir City High School student newspaper
