How can this happen? It's because Republicans are in power! If only Democrats were in power, we'd live in a magical land where the bluebirds sing us awake in the morning and money grows on trees!
In Pedophiles in Our Midst, Christy Hardon Smith tells tales of prosecuting pedophiles, and of the incurability and recitivism of pedophiles, that I’m pretty sure would not find a sympathetic ear with the left, were in not being told about someone they can characterize as being a Bush administration crony. Because the implication is that some people are just bad. And can’t be fixed. And need to be punished, or locked up for life. Which is usually anathema to the left. At least, until they are talking about members of the political right.
So, a fairly conservative point of view on the issue finding a home on Alternet. Interesting.
But the most notable thing about the article, to me, is the blurb, which I feel fairly certain was crafted by whoever edited the article for Alternet rather than Christy Hardin Smith:
Why is our government doing background checks on activists but not on its own staff?
Although, never having been convicted of any crime, no background check on Brian Doyle would have fingered him for anything. If only the government had been, say, listening in on all his phone calls . . .
But I digress. The point is, the government does do background checks on employees of all agencies associated with national security, including the DHS. There was just nothing, yet, on Brian. Now there will be.
But what I find most fascinating is the take of the rank and file Alternet readers commenting on the story. Take a look at the sort of thing your friendly neighborhood liberal has to say about the situation:
And check this out. Oh. My. God. Here’s the real reason Alito’s wife ran from the room during the middle of Alito’s confirmation . . . George Bush is a closet pedophile (and still an alcoholic):This is just more evidence that institutions that foster sexual repression (a la the Catholic church and the abstinence only Republican party) also seem to breed an excessive number of sexual deviants.
Isn't it interesting that some of the worst perverts are employed by the Cheney/Bush regime? IMPEACH ALL OF THE CHENEY/BUSH PERVERTS!
REAL NAZIS! Wake-up folks! These extremist republicans who are running the government are not interested in America for its people. They are hypocrites, liars , authoritarians, criminal scum, racists, extreme nationalists, just like the Nazi Party in Germany and the Fascist Party in Italy. We see them subverting all branches of the government. They believe they are above the law and morality and that they should rule the world for profit and glory, mostly for rich white Americans. Call them what you will, this is the reality. If Americans do not take back government from them, there will be a world conflagration just as in WWII. Most of the world has come to hate America just as it came to hate the Nazis and the Fascists. Sooner or later, they will do something about it, just as in the past.Truly, amoral criminals are in charge of this government.
It is comforting to know that within the Bush administration at least there is one crime that you can commit that will have consequences, namely a sex related crime.
This is something, although I wish that the administration would also focus on other criminal acts, such as making up a phony case for war in Iraq, for example. Did I mention illegal wiretapping?
While I totally agree that Brian Doyle should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, it seems to me that his immediate suspension without pay illustrates the administration’s obsession with sex, and their unrelenting focus on abstinence, contraceptives, gay marriage, pornography, and so on.
Should not some other administration officials, the list too long to include here, not also be immediately suspended?Sadly, there is a correlation between a sexual predator who wants to dominate his victims and an administration that wants to dominate everyone, that defends torture.
Frankly, I'm surprised this wasn't Cheney.
‘It seems that Judge Alito has a good-looking son, Philip, and when the family was at the White House recently to meet with Bush and his wife, the President somehow got the son alone and tried to kiss him!
The boy was outraged and told his father that Bush smelled like booze. The father said nothing, wanting the Supreme Court job, but the mother complained to Laura Bush."
Laura told her that ..."George is under so much stress these days, trying to protect America from terrorists that he 'slips' once in a while...."
...
I immediately passed this to a British newspaperman (Guardian) who shot back that a similar incident had transpired when Bush was visiting in England and it was a subject Not to be Discussed!...
Right in the middle of the hearing on her husband's suitability for the Supreme Court, Ms Alito suddenly fled from the room, weeping. There was nothing going on at the moment that justified it. My source tells me she is furious because Bush is a pedophile and she is afraid that her son will get nailed by the sick creep. Her husband wants his new job and will do nothing to prevent him from getting into a position where he can destroy Roe v. Wade.
Also, apparently Bush is a repressed homosexual. Wow!
And it's amazing how often the left brings up barely repressed homosexuality as a precursor to pedophilia. I thought they were more sensitive about that stuff. Apparently not. But, again, I digress.
Anyhoo, please refer back to any of my previous posts of the left’s future problems regarding winning the hearts and minds of the American heartland. Or on the foolish choices they make. This is a prime example.
The big problem for the left, and Democrats, to be found here? These are the folks who end up picking the candidate during the nomination process. And these are the folks that need to be pandered to, and there’s no way to hide that pandering when it comes time to run in the general election.
