Crouching Conservative, Hidden Homosexual?

I think it's safe to say it takes a fair amount of denial to be a Republican.

You have to deny science, deny history, deny logic, deny morality, deny facts, deny reason.

So it wouldn't be a surprise to me to know that many high ranking Republicans are closeted homosexuals. To live in the closet you have to deny your innate, biologically wired sexual urges. The ability to live a life of denial to fit into the accepted mainstream lifestyle lends itself well to a successful political career as Republican operative.

Unless you are sociopath, you have to resort to denial as a Republican. Deep down every Republican knows that their career is undoing all of the progress society has made towards fairness and equality. The GOP really is just the largest organized crime family, shaking down the middle class. You either use denial as a defense mechanism or you become a really miserable self loathing human being.

Why all the homophobia from the right? Is it just a matter of political advantage? Could it be that a lot of the people on the right resent and are deeply jealous of people who choose to live their life honestly, despite the hardship, instead of living a life of denial like they are stuck with?

Now i'm not saying most Republicans are closet cases. I just think a lot of the people in the leadership may be. It makes a lot of sense.

It is empirically established that self-identified homophobic males are much more likely to be aroused by gay erotica then a control group of non-homophobic males, indicating that the homophobia is a defense mechanism, to keep from acting on their same-sex desires, or from self loathing that arises from past daliances.

The new head of the RNC, Ken Mehlman has been outed as gay on account of his hypocritical attacks of democrats who advocate equal civil rights, including homosexuals. Several high ranking White House officials set gaydars abuzz, Karl Rove and Scott McClellan, in particular. George W's longest and dearest friend, Victor Ashe, fellow male Cheerleader at Yale, and former "roomate", now the Ambassador to Poland, is reportedly gay. A St. Louis man, Elliot Sanders, claims to have had a three month gay affair with Rush Limbaugh in college.

The whole Jeff Gannon, fake report, gay pornographer/pimp story has brought back from the memory hole a story from the '80s about a D.C gay prostitution ring that implicated White House officials and involved possible ties to CIA blackmailing schemes. This isn't just Internet mumbo jumbo rumors. The story broke in the Washington Times with the headline "Homosexual Prostitution ring ensnares V.I.P.s with Reagan, Bush -- 'Call boys' took midnight tour of White House."

The man at the center of the scandal later was found dead, from an apparent suicide. Let your conspiracy theories bloom hence.

---------
Spence was a conservative lobbyist during the Reagan-Bush years. The New York Times called him "Washington's ultimate power broker." He was also running a gay prostitution ring which employed adolescent boys. As perks of the job, he treated his boys to after-hour tours of the White House. In The Washington Times of August 9, 1989, Spence "hinted the tours were arranged by top level" persons, including Vice President Bush's National Security Adviser Donald Gregg, whose name also figures prominently in the October Surprise story. The paper added that "Spence, according to friends, was also carrying out homosexual blackmail operations for the CIA."

...

The Spence story never really registered on the national media’s radar screen. Despite being a largely Republican scandal, it was completely ignored by such pillars of the purportedly liberal press as the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. The story soon disappeared entirely and Washington and the media proceeded to pretend as though nothing had ever happened. According to a Washington Times reporter, the paper trail was quickly covered up. Some 20,000 documents pertaining to the case were sealed by court order and the U.S. Attorney’s office issued a gag order on the release of information. By the time that Craig Spence turned up dead in a Boston hotel less than five months after the story first broke, he had been all but forgotten. He had earlier told a friend: “I may be disappearing soon. It will be sudden. It may appear to be a suicide, but it won’t be.”

It's an entertaining read the complete run down on this scandal: http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com/

1. Read Sex, Lies, and Politics by Larry Flint

It is a great read, and goes into this as well.

2. How much self loathing must

an individual have to be a closeted rightwinger? Drudge. Gannon. Sullivan (not even close to being in the closet), Limbaugh (aka male prostitute hustling Jeff Christie). If these guys were psychologically healthy, they'd be liberals with satisfying sex lives.
Instead, they're self-loathing prisoners of their sexuality living pent-up hostile lives soaked in venom and self-hate. They want so desperately to be part of a club which detests their very existence.
We should pity them.

3. What if Guckert's un-used website addresses

were part of a scheme to ensnare politicos and military guys in a blackmail scheme? Then he isn't a hypocrite, perhaps he isn't even gay (per se) and a lot more fits.
