Like the jihadists, Boomers in the late 1960s and early 70s believed
that their cause justified extreme violence. They thought it cool to
blow up college computer centers and police stations, or to rob banks
and kill people in the process.
Nancy Pelosi's generation adopted the Weatherman slogan, "Bring the war
home; ice the pigs; kill your parents." Speaker Pelosi still likes the
first part of that slogan.

It Gets Worse
For Milton Himmelfarb, paganism is the characteristic religion of
today's elite — and it stands for promiscuity, misery, and death.
He traces the taste for paganism to Enlightenment philosophies such as
Diderot, to their 20th-century academic admirers, and to the psychotic
sixties, when nature-worship and sexual promiscuity began to seem
positively good and Christianity began to seem evil.

New vaccine would promote promiscuity, undermine abstinence
Pharmaceutical giant Merck & Co. Inc. has received federal approval
for Gardasil, a vaccine that protects against the disease HPV — or
human papillomavirus — that can lead to deadly cervical cancer.
Lawmakers have been quick to mandate that school girls be vaccinated
against HPV.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has signed an executive order requiring all girls
entering sixth grade to receive the vaccine. Michigan lawmakers are
debating such a requirement.
The vaccine appears praiseworthy as a weapon against disease. However,
imposing it on young girls devalues personal morals and promotes
society's increasingly tolerance of promiscuity and the willingness to
"medicate" the effects of a problem rather than solve the cause of it.
HPV is a sexually transmitted disease, and these diseases among
American teens are at epidemic highs.
This leads supporters of the mandated vaccine to assume the sexual
behavior of all young girls, discounting those who embrace the moral or
religious values instilled by their parents.
Lawmakers should support young women embracing abstinence and other
values-based initiatives designed to prevent problems in the first
place.

Conservative conception of morality
It is quite strange to me how in this country, Republicans have always
been considered to be the party of "family values" and "morality."
Republicans want to end social welfare programs, criminalize
homosexuality and institute a system of forced-childbirth for our
nation's women. This has never struck me as particularly moral.
Liberals,
meanwhile, care about combating the spread of global poverty, ending
climate change and raising the minimum wage. These are true moral
concerns.
A recent controversy underscores the hypocrisy in the Republican position. The debate concerns the new HPV vaccine.
It's an indisputable fact that mandating the HPV vaccine would save thousands of lives.
Yet, conservatives groups like Focus on the Family have led the
opposition to mandatory vaccinations, arguing that it encourages sexual
promiscuity in young women.
This
is just stupid. First of all, there's absolutely no evidence supporting
that claim.
Moreover, even if the vaccine did encourage promiscuous behavior, ask
yourself what's worse — a sexually active 16-year-old or an 18-year-old
with cervical cancer?
