Liberal Lunacy

Every day I have tons of positive things to write about; then I listen to talk radio, check the internet and hear about some outrageous liberal lunacy and I’m hooked.

Today’s edition is about the femi-nazis at NARAL Pro Choice America.

One of the leading abortion-rights groups took a swipe at cultural conservatives by inviting young donors to a "Screw Abstinence Party" in Seattle. The event promo says: "Tired of Bush & Co. spending your tax dollars on abstinence-only-until-marriage initiatives that promote dangerous misinformation? Throw your hands up and say it loud: 'Screw Abstinence!'"

Even the lefty Seattle weekly, The Stranger, thought NARAL was making a politically foolish choice.

Does this strike anyone else as a cringe-worthy and counterproductive theme for a pro-choice fundraiser? It seems politically idiotic for the preeminent pro-choice group in the country to be sponsoring this pandering, pseudo-hipster 'sex positive' event.

The Stranger worries about stereotypes of the left as a promiscuous bunch of libertines.

Wow-weee, the left is 'pro-sex' and those meanie Christian activists want to preach abstinence in the schools. Look, I'm just as freaked out as anyone about the creeping evisceration of separation of church and state … but let's be smart politically. A 'Screw Abstinence' fundraiser is … trite, juvenile, and politically stupid.

When The Stranger thinks you are stupid libertines, you'd better worry.

NARAL's screwy party was designed to raise funds for programs to "secure comprehensive and medically accurate sex education" for all and sundry. NARAL wants your kids to be sexually active because it's good for business: Abstinent kids don't buy contraceptives and abortions.

NARAL committed a grave tactical error in revealing its true colors so brazenly. Moms and dads who may not have been paying much attention will now clearly see NARAL's pro-abortion, pro-contraception, pro-child-sex agenda. This event will likely have parents running to their school boards demanding protection from comprehensive sex education.

The historian Will Durant, writing of the decadence of ancient Rome, described this NARAL attitude as "a shallow sophistication which prides itself on childlessness and despair". For NARAL, sex is for gratification and nothing more - an animal action disconnected from anything higher than momentary physical pleasure.

When Democrats wonder why they get shellacked at the polls on the issue of moral values, they really need to look no further than at NARAL and similar groups.

We should get on our knees daily to thank GOD that President Bush will have the opportunity to pick 2-3 Supreme Court nominees. People (Hillary et al) who think like and support the NARAL crowd are too stupid to be given such authority.
