This newspeak really frosts me.

Nah,what he is RIGHTLY writing about is the fundie fondness for gleefully screaming "You are going to HELL TO BURN FOREVER!" for having sex of any kind outside of marriage,and their eagerness to put people in jail until they do die for these same "sins".

This,more than any other one issue is what turns people against the Republican Party. Too many Republicans are fond of screaming about "it's none of the governemnt's business!" until it comes to what happens in the bedroom,and then suddenly it IS the governments business,and they should send these people to jail to punish them.

Funny, the only place I hear such things is on TV shows trying to create a straw man fundamentalist preacher to attack. And please cite for me the last case where the federal government executed or put anyone in jail for having sex outside of marriage (or a state government, for that matter).

There is now plenty of evidence to indicate that the 'sex anywhere, anytime, with anyone, without responsibility' position is dangerous and foolhardy. This is a legitimate reasonable point of view. Most of us that you would consider 'fundies' only demand that the 'sex anywhere, anytime' point of view not be taught to our children in public schools. And unlike your rant, we can point to dozens of cases where exactly that was done, without parents' permission.
