Rape-publicans it's always on their Mind

Rape is always on the minds of Republicans. From when they first wake up in the morning to the time they close their eyes at night, Republicans are thinking about Rape.

Rape. Rape. Rape.

Republicans love Rape.

Indiana Republican Senate Candidate Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock decided to instruct Women that being Raped is God's Will;
“I’ve struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
Lay back and enjoy it, honey. Rape is all part of God's Plan. Deus Vult!

Legitimate Rape. Forcible Rape. Real Rape. Honest Rape. Transvaginal Ultrasounds. Hold the aspirin between your knees.

Of course, the reason Republican men always have Rape on their minds is without being able to rape people Republican men would never have sex. This is why Republican men support blue Boner pills but are against contraceptives. But, this isn't limited to stodgy old Republicans, so-called Libertarians and conservative women think about Rape and punishing rape victims all day long as well.

St. Louis Tea Party "Darling" Dana Loesch stated that women who have sex are giving tacit consent to have Government conduct Transvaginal Ultrasounds at their lesiure. Liz Trotta of Faux News said Women who sign up for the Military are giving male service members consent to rape them. Phyllis Schlafly, the Grand Dame of the Patriarchy has stood staunchly behind Missouri Republican Senate Candidate Todd Akin.


And Todd Akin turns out to be very similar to the Ultra-Reactionary violent abortion clinic bombers and Doctor murderers. Todd Akin was arrested several times in the 1980's for criminal acts at anti-abortion rallies. The question is how many times did Todd Akin plan to firebomb and kill people who worked at abortion clincs?

Rape and controlling women's access to sex is a key plank of the Republicans Plan of Oppression and Subjugation of America.


Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan stand behind the Blunt Amendment to allow Employers deny Women Birth Control because of "moral objection". Paul 90X Ryan and the criminal Todd Akin crafted 38  anti-abortion bills.

The Republican Battle to deny women access to Birth Control, to force women to submit themselves to Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's Rape Wands, to make abortions impossible by legislating the number of air molecules allowable in abortion clinics, to defund Planned Parenthood and finally to encourage conservatives murder abortion doctors is all designed with bringing women to heel.

The Rape-publicans. It's an appropriate term for the everything associated with the Republican Party.

Notre Dame only finds morality when controlling Lady Parts not Football

"But hey, you have to have moral values. You have to start somewhere, and that’s what we’ve decided to do." - Mississippi Representative Bubba Carpenter Republican Pro-Coat Hanger Abortions
The Unversity of Notre Dame is among the multiple Catholic-based institutions suing President Obama over providing the Birth Control mandate in Obamacare.

As these institutions provide healthcare coverage as part of their pay/benefits to their employees, this is a cut and dried situation wherein a business does not have the right to tell it's employees what they may or may not spend their money upon. Nor can Notre Dame deny to cover needed/legal medical care based on their fantasy beliefs.

But, the key is the University of Notre Dame has only found it's catholic morality when it comes to controlling lady parts. For when it comes to controlling the behavior of Football players, Notre Dame takes a hands off approach.

In just May this year, 3 Notre Dame football players, Tommy Rees, DaVaris Daniels, Carlo Calabrese have been arrested. And this isn't the first time Notre Dame Football has had run-ins with the law or have had football players go off on alcohol fueled crime sprees.

Last year star Notre Dame Football player Michael Floyd was arrested for a DUI. Notre Dame made Floyd a Team Captain and described him as a "star".

In July, 2010, eight Notre Dame Football players were arrested for alcohol-related charges (mostly underage drinking) stemming from an off-campus party. None of the players missed a game.

But, even worse than Notre Dame's coddling of Football is that Notre Dame's Football program claimed the lives of two students in 2010.

Just 3 months before Floyd's arrest, incoming freshman Matt James died when he fell off a hotel balcony during spring break with a blood-alcohol level of 0.19.

And in 2010 Notre Dame killed Declan Sullivan, when they sent him up onto an unstable scissor lift in 50+ mph winds to film Notre Dame Football practice. The tower fell, Sullivan died.

After all this is the Univserity which has "Touchdown Jesus", Joe Montana and the legend of little Rudy Ruettiger, who in December 2011 was charged with SEC violations and paid a fine of nearly $400,000 dollars. Of course, Football players may do whatever they wish.
"I think if you’re saying that South Bend is the only place in the world where that occurs, then maybe that would be true. But these are things we deal with in society all over the country. Everybody’s working to teach and communicate about making good choices. We’re going to hope that the guys model and lead the right way." - Notre Dame Football Coach Brian Kelly.
So, yet again with have religious institutions which only finds Morality when it comes to oppressing and controlling women. When it comes to controlling the racacous criminal behavior of King Football well then Notre Dame "hopes" and relies on the unseen magic of "Touchdown Jesus".

Corporate Slavery starts with your Facebook Password

Corporate Dominance of Americans is increasingly becoming a reality.

Republicans claim to loathe the government. The only part of the Government Republicans hate are those laws and governmental bodies which help the poor, protect the weak and empower the 99% against the Plutocracy. Anything which serves to aid or protect individuals is hateful to Right-Wingers. But, what Republicans do love is unbridled Corporate Hegemony and Corporations unrestrained by anything which hampers their acquisition of Power and Money.

Thus, while we have protections from the Government, Americans increasingly have no protections from the oppression by Corpoate Neo-Feudalism and their servile Republican lapdogs across the Nation.

There is no point discussing this with some Right-Wingers who have so swallowed the lies of the Republican Party as to not see the chains of Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage fastened around their necks.
Employers asking for your Facebook password as a pre-requisite for employment?

Employers asking women for what possible reason they want birth control pills?

Churches or Business owners being able to deny you health care because they have a moral objection to how you use it?
Think about this. You, as an American, could tell any individual, police officer, or right-wing bureaucrat to go Transvaginal Ultrasound themselves if they asked this information of you. Yet, Republicans and Right-Wing crypto-fascists are not only happy to let Corporations violate your basic rights but are actively passing laws to empower Corporate Behemoths to oppress and control you. Republicans in Arizona have already made it legal for an employer to ask women about their sex lives and to deny them access to birth control.

When Rand Paul or Ron Paul state they wouldn't have voted for the Civil Rights Act or dance around it's repeal, it is because of the constraints it puts upon businesses. A private business can discriminate, can violate your rights and can have total control over you because it's not government.

When Newt Gingrich or Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah say child labor laws are unconstitutional it's because they feel that Coprorations should have No Restraints put upon their Ravenous predation of the American people including your children.

When the Republican-led House, bolstered by vast number of Democrats, votes to pass a Orwellian-named "Jobs Act", which would further eliminate safeguards, roll back transparency and deregulate the gambling Wall Street interests who crashed the economy a mere 5 years ago they feel no compunction, let alone guilt at their actions, because Corporate/Banking/Wall Street power has so throughly corrupted the US Government all ill-gotten profits are privatized while all losses are subsidized.

Already Corporations pay less in taxes than the average middle class American. Already Corporations, like Boeing, steal Hundreds of Millions of dollars but get away with it under the euphemism of fraud. Already Corporations, like BP, routinely violate pollution standards by willful malfesance or gross negligence. Already Corporations, like Massey Energy, kill their workers by knowingly placing them in unsafe conditions but get away with fines instead of jail time.

What this amounts to is Unequal Protection. The whole Lard Ass Republican Party and most members of the Democratic Party are greasing the slippery slope of Corporate Neo-Feudalist Wage Slavery.

Republican War on Women enters the States Rights Lie Back and Enjoy It Phase

Just Close Your Eyes and
Think of Pennsylvania
"Just relax and enjoy it," - Texass Republican Clayton Williams
The Oppressive Totalitarian Right-Wing Crypto-Fascist War on Women gets worse everyday. We are now moving into the phase were the Right-Wingers will drill down into every level of society and government to advance their agenda of control and subjugation of sex and women.

Pennsylvania Republican Governor Tom Corbett echoed Clayton Williams when asked about a mandatory Bob McDonnell Memorial Rape Wand Law he requested be passed for all Keystone State Sluts, "I don’t know how you make anybody watch. You just have to close your eyes."

Defeating the Roy Blunt Amendment didn't end the issue as multiple Republican controlled states moved to advance bills in their State Legislatures accomplishing the same goal.

Arizona, that seething cauldron of bigotry and evil, rushed forward a bill allowing Business owners to interrogate Women about their Sex lives.
Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.
Lesko had the gall to claim,
“I believe we live in America. We don’t live in the  Soviet Union. So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs.”
First, Represenative Lesko, go Transvaginal Ultrasound Yourself! Second, anytime a Crypto-Fascist Republican uses a phrase like "I believe we live in America..." they are about to pass an incredibly destructive law designed to aid the 1% in their goal of destroying and oppressing millions of Americans. Lastly, despicable Arizona Republicans just empowered your boss to interrogate you on your off-hours activities to make sure you aren't doing something they find objectionable, like having sexy sex.

Besides Arizona, according to Talking Points Memo, New Hampshire, Idaho and Georgia have taken up bills to expand exemptions for contraception coverage. Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Idaho and Wyoming lawmakers are moving symbolic resolutions condemning the administration’s contraception coverage rule.

Remember how Right-Wingers "claimed" the denial of Birth Control was based on Religious Liberty?

Too bad for conservatives that Darrell Issa and the Republicans are so stupid they named their SLUT Hunting committee the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the contraception mandate instead of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on religious freedom. Oops...

Well, either it was a case of self-delusion or conservatives are shameless liars. Right-Wingers want to tell you what you can and can not do. Because they get off on controlling you.

From Carolyn Jones at the Texas Observer, comes the story of a woman forced to endure additional agony because a bunch of Right-Wing misoygnistic bureaucrats know that Rape Wands, a 24-hour waiting period and Doctors telling women lies about the after-effects of abortions will shame, degrade, humiliate and stop women from getting abortions.
Halfway through my pregnancy, I learned that my baby was ill. Profoundly so. My doctor gave us the news kindly, but still, my husband and I weren’t prepared. Just a few minutes earlier, we’d been smiling giddily at fellow expectant parents as we waited for the doctor to see us. In a sonography room smelling faintly of lemongrass, I’d just had gel rubbed on my stomach, just seen blots on the screen become tiny hands. For a brief, exultant moment, we’d seen our son—a brother for our 2-year-old girl.

Instead, before I’d even known I was pregnant, a molecular flaw had determined that our son’s brain, spine and legs wouldn’t develop correctly. If he were to make it to term—something our doctor couldn’t guarantee—he’d need a lifetime of medical care. From the moment he was born, my doctor told us, our son would suffer greatly.
This entire Right-Wing Assault on Women is a kick to the Uterus. And they aren't going to stop.

Especially not when you have Faux News willing to stoop so low as to claim all any American woman needs is a simple $9-a-day Birth Control from Wal-Mart lie. Which every Right-Wing blog and full of shit conservative picks up and repeats ad nauseum on every site and news story they can.

Why is it a lie? Conservatives always talk in giant sweeping generalities because when their inhuman policies are applied to actual American people in real world situations they fall apart. Hardly any woman at all can simply use the cheap junk grade pharmaceutical crap that Wal-Mart or Target peddles. This isn't like picking up some generic aspirin. But, why the fuck do conservatives who are supposed to be about choice in the marketplace demanding women only get access to one type of birth control, anyway?

Because this entire issue is one of control and oppression. Because Conservative thought builds these grand edifices on a foundation of shit and lies. When you actually apply Right-Wing theories to human situations they crumble and people get hurt. But, Republicans don't care because they don't represent 99% of the American People. Republicans represent 1% and that 1% only cares about oppressing the 99% to make Money.

It's just gross what the Right-Wing is doing.

Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am!

"Women should stay home and make babies. Preferably, manchild." - Chiun, Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation - Joan Jett, Bad Reputation
Conservatives will never be truthful when it comes to advancing their agenda. Since the 2010 elections, their attempts at denigrating women have reached new depths. The Republican assault on women, their repeated Rape Wand Laws, their hang-ups about sex and contraception, and hatred for LGBTQ all stem from ignorance and lies.

Results from a recent study show Sex Education delays sexual activity in young adults.
The study, conducted by researchers from the reproductive health research organization The Guttmacher Institute, used data from the 2006 to 2008 National Survey of Family Growth

The results showed, however, that two-thirds of young women and 55 percent of young men received some sort of instruction on birth control and abstinence before their first sexual experience.
Already Right-Wingers know they can dismiss and attack the study because it doesn't conform to their pre-conceived notions or the opinions given to them by their oppressors. What it shows, is no matter what the consequences Right-Wingers are going to use all the power they can to exert their control over Americans.

Instead of dropping the contraception issue Right-Wingers are lying because once the truth seeps into their minds they're going to crumble. Once you lie that this is about "religious liberty" or not wanting their tax dollars going to pay for people to have sex the lies can not stop.

Conservatives aren't paying for other people to have sex. As much as they may want to and as much as they want to watch. But, Limpballs repeated derogatory insults and attacks on Sandra Fluke and paragon of sexual morality Bill O'Reilly's happy leap into the affair along with Faux News, while multiple right-wing blog sites and their conservative drones repeat the vile insults and lies shows the depths of depravity the Right will strive towards in their never-ending quest to exert power and control over others.

And it's not even because of the rank hypocrisy of having two well known sexual deviants leading the charge or really even when any Right-Winger is caught with his pants down that's a conservative hang-up. It's the lying for power.

Because what is driving this Sexual Crusade is Control. Control of Sex. Power over individuals. Oppression. They've gone to far to turn back now. The Assaults must continue. Control must be exerted.

SmartyPants has an observation from a New York Time article:
As we hear the shrillness of the political chattering class ramp up, its important that we keep in mind that there are women all over this country - Democrat, Republican and Independent - who are not going to put up with this crap. The misogyny is sounding pretty loud right now. But come November - the women of this country will speak!

Seems the Cathars and Christopher Hitchens had it right...

About anal sex and the Catholic Church...
"Can you understand the feeling some conservative have?" -David Gregory, Meet The Press.
Yes, I can understand. Conservative Christians are on a Totalitarian Birth Control Crusade. So, yes I understand. And the answer to these mendacious right-wing zealots is Fuck Off. Conservatives are regressive scum who espouse a totalitarian ideology designed to subjugate and oppress people.

Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! noted,
According to the nonpartisan Guttmacher Institute, which studies reproductive health issues globally, in the United States, “among all women who have had sex, 99 percent have used a contraceptive method other than natural family planning. This figure is virtually the same among Catholic women (98 percent).” According to a Public Religion Research Institute poll, 58 percent of Catholics believe that employers should provide employees with health-care plans that include contraception.
Claiming this issue is about "religious liberty" is akin to claiming slavery is about "religious liberty". This is about Totalitarian Control.

What the Totalitarian Right-Wing christians want is, as Christopher Hitchens put it, "a celestial dictatorship, a kind of divine North Korea."

After the deft move by President Obama laid clear the Religious Zealots motivations, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops continued down their road of moral turpitude bemoaning, “It would still mandate that all insurers must include coverage for the objectionable services in all the policies they would write,” the bishops said. “At this point, it would appear that self-insuring religious employers, and religious insurance companies, are not exempt from this mandate.”

Timothy Dolan speaking for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops proclaimed the President’s plan will require “careful moral analysis” and hoped "our religious freedom are not harmed by these regulations."

Religious authority. "Moral Analysis". What a joke. The same day the U.S Conference of Catholic Bishops was frightened loose women would get contraceptives, previously sealed documents filed in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee bankruptcy listed at least 8,000 new instances of child sexual abuse by 100 alleged offenders - 75 of them priests, all of them previously unidentified.

So, Dolan and the bishops can take their "careful moral analysis" and stick it in the Vatican Catacombs.

As Jill over at Brilliant at Breakfast noted,
Where these absolutists are concerned, there IS no such thing as balance. You're either going to run this country as if it were a radical Christian theocracy, or you're going to run it in a sane manner.
Jill is correct. The Christian Fascists are All In. They are never going to accept anything less than absolute power.
