If "moral values" are so damn important to the Right.............
Edited on Thu Nov-04-04 11:02 PM by Old and In the Way
why doesn't Bush and the Republicans push for a Department of Moral Values? Seems to me that they should lay out a big heaping agenda chock full of goodies for their righteous majority.

Let me help them here-

(1) Department of Moral Values, nominate Pat Robertson to head it.
(2) Ban abortion.
(3) Ban gay sex.
(4) Ban sex outside of marriage.
(5) Mandatory church service.
(6) Strict censorship of media, particularly TV and movies.
(7) Ban divorce.
(8) Ban gambling.


C'mon George....what are you waiting for? The people have spoken! Your Party has made a career of running on values....when are you going to execute on the agenda? Can't blame us Dems...you own the government now. Don't be a bunch of LYING FUCKING HYPOCRITS....you have a mandate!

1. Let's add to your list. Number 7: Ban divorce. You get hitched for life
In addition to banning sex out side of marriage, we need to ban extramarital sex. Adultery should be punishable by death.

Oh and the Sabbath day. Not honoring the Sabbath should also be punished by death.

2. I agree. Death by stoning. Let's do it right.
Which Taliban member do you think we could get to come over and help us set up this Dept of Morals ?

3. I think 4 covers extra-marital sex...but good idea about divorce.
I can't think of anything that threatens the sanctity of marriage more than divorce.

Oh yes, let's not forget Bill Bennet's favorite vice....gambling! Yep, I think we need to have the moral values crowd shut down all forms of gambling, too!

4. Yes... Ban Divorce and institute the Death Penalty for Adultery
Doesn't the Bible promote stoning for Adultery.

Let's see who would go first? Rudy??? Newt???? Rush?????

8. Speaking of moral values..
..didn't Reagan start all this "family values" crap??.. so believable from a twice (or was it thrice?) divorced person..

and speaking of ironies, he was once president of a trade union, too.

5. He knows that he only has a mandate from ultra right-wing fundies
and ignorant idiots.

He can't push his agenda against the majority. He has NO mandate from the average American. Rove and Bush were smart to frighten every single right-wing extremist and ignorant moron into voting. They fired up their base with their "Kerry will ban Bibles" and "Democrats have no moral values" bullshit.

We fired up more Democrats to vote, too. But they were just better and beat us in our game. Stupid people are just easier to manipulate. And we are too honest to use lies to gain votes.

Over 40% didn't vote and a great majority of young people didn't vote. And we didn't make clear that Bush's "moral values" means tax-cuts for the rich with money taken from the poor, leaving children without health care and proper education, destroying the environment, and spreading hate against people who are different.

We need some people in every state to out Republican the Republicans. Start railing hard on the extreme side and hold these shitheads to their rhetoric. Start a huge PR campaign....People for Moral Values and demand Republicans to initiate this agenda.

11. You are right. These hypocrites have to be exposed for what they are
Every time one of them gets caught defrauding, cheating, stealing, child-molesting, wife-beating, we should make it known to America.

Bush and Bush supporters having "moral values" ... that is the ultimate oxymoron.

There have to be tons of people who hate Bush who have knowledge of immoral or criminal behavior by well-known Republicans and Bush supporters.

10. Remember to ban all non procreation sex
That's right if your not doing it to create children you should not do it. That would include oral, anal, and of course sex for people no longer able to create children.

The "Conservative" Sermon On The Mount


Blessed are the rich for all good things trickle down from them. Cursed are the poor for poverty results from their moral failings. Blessed are the war makers for they keep freedom on the march. Cursed are the peacemakers for they shall be called appeasers. Blessed are those who inflict harsh punishments for they maintain law and order. Cursed are those who forgive for they shall be called soft on crime. Blessed are those who pray loudly standing in the churches and on the corners sounding the trumpet before them. Cursed are those who shut the closet door and pray in secret for their prayers are not heard. Blessed are those who cast the first stone for the sake of sexual morality for that is the only morality that matters. Cursed are those who see sexuality as a private matter for marriage must be defended against them.


By me, Brian Shawn Mary

And, I propose a mandatory death penalty on anyone who fails to honor their mother and father.
