The LEFT has no boundaries.

The LEFT is a miserable lot.

Most have sexual diseases, gay, humped everything in sight, had abortions and to condemn this HURTS THEIR FEELINGS. The more misery they can recruit the BETTER THEY FEEL. The morality of the LEFT is a free for all on everything.

According to its editorialists, the newly evaluated abstinence program succeeded because it was “freed from the moralistic overtones and ideological restrictions” of prior abstinence education.

I've been saying until I'm blue in the face, it's about advancing the Sex Positive Agenda which seeks to end all moral judgements over ALL sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

They oppose abstinence because they find it to be a denial of sexual desire. They seek to see everyone sexually active at every age.

This goes beyond merely lining Planned Parenthood's coffers. This goes beyond just advancing the Homosexual Agenda. This is the shebang.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-positive_movement

Positive.org has a "just say yes" campaign for teens, encouraging them to experiment sexually.

http://www.positive.org

The dirty little secret is that WE as taxpayers fund this lobbying effort through our public hospitals, public universities, and taxpayer support of Planned Parenthood and other such groups.

It's international in scope and contrary to social mores. Kinsey and Reich were among the mid-20th century proponents. Feminists were also on board.

Bump from earlier in the week:

Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings Favorite Book for Teens Too Lewd for Seattle Times (Parents and Teachers for Responsible Schools | February 7, 2010)

The book is a collection of essays, purportedly written by homosexual teens. Under the guise of offering advice and encouragement several of them detail sexual encounters they enjoyed as children and teens, sometimes with adults! They are presented as fond memories, not as risky behavior or molestation.

Abstinence and the Left (Why does the New York Times hate teen abstinence?)

Namely because teen abstinence stops abortion and venereal disease in its tracks, both money-making industries for the Dem Party and their liberal allies (think Planned Parenthood).

They can seduce the children (literally and figuratively). Drive a wedge between the kids and their parents’ religious teachings (homosexuality is NOT wrong but your PARENTS ARE...).

Break them down, rebuild them. Just like the military.

It all makes sense, as the Times' editorial board is composed of irresponsible creeps who behave like ****ing adolescents.

I almost forgot, the LEFT advocates the opposite of what is RIGHT so they can RECRUIT more destroyed people. Single “mothers” are typically doomed to poverty. They will look to GOVERNMENT to make life better at YOUR EXPENSE. The LEFT will use promiscuity to ENSALVE you to government in whatever form they can.

Abortion is a cash cow. They want the money to keep pouring in and ideally have YOU subsidize it if not directly pay for it through HIGH taxes. Abortion takes a tremendous psychological toll of the self esteem of females. They LIKE this. This too will reduce their self confidence. They will be encouraged to keep making the same mistakes when they are REWARDED for these mistakes. Yes, your subsidizing or paying for abortions REWARDS those having them. There is no more INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY left. It becomes a “community” or a societal problem. The bigger the problem the MORE YOU PAY FOR IT.

Tell me, how many people will admit THEY made a mistake? In this self absorbed, point the finger to someone else, it rarely happens. If it does happen the MDEIA disses them to keep the lies alive - meaning it's not your fault and you shouldn't have to pay for it. Spread the responsibility around to someone else - ideally through BIGGER GOVERNMENT and HIGHER TAXES that someone else should pay to make your MISTAKES BETTER. To be IRRESPONSIBLE is to be politially correct. Blame someone else and be a victim all your life is what is more acceptable today. The conservative message is against this so it must be ridiculed and silenced.

Absolutely!

I constantly point out how wrong the left is and how their ideology is a timeless recipe for self destruction.

One reason, I think, is the Left's view of human nature.

The Left seems to think that young people WILL ALWAYS have sex. The Left seems to think that there is NOTHING that can control the raging hormones in America's young people.

So, since the Left cannot possibly imagine young people who have something called "self control:, it just gives up, and says, in effect, "Since we really do not want to take the time to instruct you on the benefits of self-control, we will teach you, instead, about the techniques of sex."

This same attitude -- about the futility of teaching or expecting self-control -- also drives, it seems to me, the Left's notion of things like adultery and homosexuality.

We constatnly tell them differently.

I explain, with patience (and struggle with civility at times...) that they are emotionally disturbed and oftne physically abused people who lack proper roile models and guidance and live in denial of the obvious - the parts don’t fit.

God didn’t create Steve and Joe. He created Adam and Eve. The parts fit and they were able to reproduce.
