Born Again, Also .....

       Porn again it seems.

A new study (link1,  link2) shows that the states that consume the most porn tend to be the more conservative and religious states.  8 of the top 10 Porn-Consuming States Voted Republican in 2008 Presidential Election. And another one, Florida voted Bush in 2000 AND 2004. So that effectively 9 out of 10 of the more religious and more conservative states are the biggest porn consumers. This isnt new either. Been going on for years. Roy Cohn, staunch conservative lawyer during the McCarthy era of the 50's, died of AIDS, And it WASNT from a blood transfusion either.

At first glance this could be laughable and we could shrug it off as who cares. But then we must take a second, closer look at whats happening here.  It is following a pattern.  It follows with all the conservative civilians, politicians, evangelicals, pastors, ministers, priests, what have you, who continue to publicly preach one life style, while practicing something vastly different themselves. Im not suggesting that they all are guilty, but certainly some of the more hi profile ones have been exposed.  Ted Haggard (Leader of the National Association of Evangelicals ) is a prime example. Now two or more years since he got caught and "fixed", cured of his homosexuality, Ted Haggard admits that he still has homosexual thoughts and tendencies. Only difference is he says he no longer acts on them.  Im sure this doesnt feel right to the holier than thou religious conservatives in this country.  Im sure they wish Haggard would just go away. You see he isnt really "cured" as most religious assure us is possible, rather he has learned more self control.  i saw his documentary on HBO, he is still not a happy man, and probably will never be as long as he is forced to "control" and hide his real self.
 And lets not let those conservative repuublicans get off the hook here,.  you almost lose track, there have been so many conservative republicans caught with their pants down so to speak.  there is  republican Larry Craig, U.S. Senator, in a Minn airport bathroom, there is republican Foley (U.S. Representative )  in Florida with young male interns, I mean just google "republican scandals"
 And then we have all those catholic priests who molested all those children over the last 40 years AT LEAST.

So you see, we have a do as i say not as i do type thing going on here.  Laws, and rules (doctrines anyone) are created by those who feel THEY dont have to obey them, THEY are ABOVE them  .But they insist that WE DO have to abide by them. This is a ridiculous proposition.  Since childhood, i have always despised hearing that famous "do as i say, not as i do" line.  Isnt it time they literaly "practice what they preach"?  Isnt it time WE MADE THEM.

 Every day now we are learning to trust NO ONE as some of our biggest leaders in all different fields fail us, from the highest financial wizards and business men to the highest politicians, to the highest echelon of religious, clergy, priests, ministers pastors, bishops, cardinals etc....All have lied to us at the very least.  Who and what is there left for us to trust.

 Democrats dont have this problem, simply because they will tell you to you face if they are gay, if they like porn, and hell yes they do like sex, just maybe not with their spouses .........
