Protect us from the Protectors

Yesterday all the news was aglow with the story that a major spammer of your email was arrested.  That we are now protected from receiving information about our male members. 

There’s a dark side to this.  It’s not what it seems and it’s a power grab.  Remember after 9-11 the TSA?  TSA, a joke with no funny punch line.

Now when you buy an airplane ticket you see a charge for security.  Started out at $5.  Now $7.  Soon $10.  It’s a tax.  And it employs people who couldn’t find other jobs.  It’s control.  Take your jells and shampoos and toss them.  Off with your shoes.  Take out your laptop.  Remove your belt.  Stand in line.  And the bombers haul GUNS thru the scanners with abandon while grandma gets wanded down for nuclear devices. 

This is what kind of idiocy happens when the government begins to protect us.  We aren’t protected, just harassed and taxed.

OR

Remember Cell Phones?  Looked at your bill lately?  My cell phone bill is $45 per month.  But I write a check for $65.  Howcome?  TAX!

I would blame Clinton (he’s easy) but most of this happened in the last 5 years.  All in the name of security and equalization.  It’s all a lie.  My and your cell phone bill is the most taxed service we pay. 

NOW, we are going to be protected by some idiots against spam on the internet.  Really.  Is this going to be free?  Get real.  Every click, every email, every new page you open is going to carry a fee.  Oh, it hasn’t happened YET.  It will.  All in the name of protecting us. 

If you look behind the great Oz’s curtain you will discover that Mr really bad spammer mostly did tools, services and other things.  Not much about my male member.  He just did it better than most.

We are going to discover that most of this hoopla is just so much bulloney.  He didn’t steal identities, he didn’t cheat anyone.

This is about money, your money, this is about controlling the internet, this is about censorship, this is about the big shots using the power of the state to crush free expression.

I’m not fan of spam.  I am a fan of unfettered exchange.  I’m a big boy, I have spam filters.  I’m not easily fooled.  I don’t need to pay someone to protect me.

This is the dumbest thing since the Scooter Libby case.

Hang on to your pocketbooks and enjoy what’s left of freedom on the internet.  Life is about to change.

Why we MUST Fight Evil

Having Just seen The 300 which I urge you to see I was struck this morning by the newspaper.

There in full view was a picture of a man who was claiming “Credit” for the Madrid Terrorist Bombing of a couple years ago.

These cowards never show their faces.  They are evil incarnate.  Here is a picture of this cowardly dog.

What struck me was the similarity to the evil cowardly cadre of terror fighters in the 300.  They too covered their faces.  The too only used trickery to accomplish their evil.

Here’s what they look like.

Just in case anyone wonders what the battle is all about, one more picture:
Those are dead people.  People dug Out of the wreckage.  Mostly Young People Children.  These are killers of innocents.  Just like in the Movie the 300.

They Must be stopped.  Where they are.  Not here.  If they come here it’s too late.

NEWS FLASH - WAR IS HELL!!

A couple days ago after the secretary of defence announced that he was going to extend all tours of duty to 15 months there was the predictable pap from network news profiling some poor soul (for whom I do have pity) in his second tour of duty was injured very badly by a roadside bomb. Never mind that could have happened in his first tour.

Tears all around, angry wife, confused soldier (brain damage) and upset parents. If that were my boy I'd be upset too. But, War is Hell.

One of my all time favorite movies WAS Braveheart. The heroics, the bravery in battle. Fabulous stuff.

Then there's Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth and the battle of Argincourt. If you have seen the Kenneth Branaugh edition of this play on the TV you have seen a good one. It's wonderful.

And PATTON. I saw some of it today on AMC. The part where he is driving by the walking wounded and goes to the hospital tent. It is there where the famous slapping of the soldier incident takes place. We forget that in WWII we would lose as many men in one DAY as we have so far in Both Iraq and Afghanistan together.

MY NEW MOVIE FAVORITE and I expect anyone who reads my humble blog to go see it in theater. The 300. That was one of the most beautiful movies I have seen in years. Very colorfully and artistically done. The plot was about a brave group of men fending off people from present day IRAN who want to invade and destroy Greece and Sparta. They come across a village already destroyed. It's complete and brutal. They know they are dealing with a ruthless enemy. But there is a traitorous and cowardly congress unwilling to support the war effort.

So 300 men go against tens of thousands of Persians and prevail for the most part until a defector betrays them. The glory, courage and honor of these men in the battle is wonderful to behold. And the Kings wife was brave and courageous.

Of course it reminded me of the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Traitors and cowards in congress. Defectors (Pelosi) doing evil behind the backs of our men. Every soldier in Iraq and Iran should see this movie. It tells the story of the importance of standing firm against an evil invader.

It was true in 700 BC and it's true today.

By the way, every one of the 300 but ONE is killed heroically. War is Hell.

For my more pacifistic readers was the action portrayed in The 300 justified or not? If so, then, why isn't the Iraq and Afghan war as well.

The Great Arctic Land Rush

I’m going to start buying beachfront land in Barrow Alaska right away.

It appears that there is an imminent land rush about to ensue.

That is if you read and agree with James Lovelock of Great Britain who says global warming is going to get so bad that nearly EVERYONE on planet earth will die and as puts it:

“Before this century is over, billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic,” predicted James Lovelock, a renowned environmental scientist.

Now I love the Northern Lights as much as the next guy, but can you imagine how nice that will be laying out in a lawn chaise looking up at the skies in a bathing suit on the sandy shores of Barrow Alaska?  I have oceanfront views available for $19,999 this month only.

I particularly want those of you who are ardent Global Warming Enthusiasts to send your deposits in right away.  Apparently there is going to be a limited supply of this prime property.  Wait, there won’t be anyone here to buy.

We’ll all be dead.

Never mind.

Is Gandhi Burning for All Eternity in Hell?

A few days ago Bill Barnwell asked the question in part, Is Gandhi burning in hell? 

His argument was that Gandhi had done so much good work that he MUST be in heaven.

Bill is a great Pastor and a good theologian.  But, I differed with him.  When you read his post you will see my comments as well.  You are welcome to make your own.

Then I heard Fred Thompson of perhaps Presidential Candidate potential quote from a speech about Gandhi he made which is Quoted Here. You have to read this.  It will change (for the worse) your view on Gandhi.

Gandhi is held up as a hero of the peace movement today.  If Europeans, the British and Jews had listened to him people in United Federation of Deutschland (Europe) would all be speaking German today, and there would be no Israel because there would be no Jews.

Come to think of it that is the drumbeat of the PEACENIKSGo Gandhi - destroy Israel.

So, as to the question, Is Gandhi burning in Hell?

My guess?  Yep!

Queers** in War

What do these 3 stories have in common or what tale do they tell? 


I’m just asking................

Women shouldn’t be in combat with men either.  Unwanted pregnancy, adultery, fornication, and sexual harassment is the result.  Neither should homosexuals.  Women and Homosexuals have no place on the field of battle.  When I read the story that I considered so disgusting and then I transpose that to the battlefield, the barracks, or the tent I maintain that if it’s demoralizing and disgusting for American Idol, it’s devastating in warfare.

SO, you can disagree with me, but we have sown a terrible whirlwind.  General Pace was right and the cacophony from the pagan left about this is just tinny.  As if that was something new.

Let’s get the queers** and women off the field of battle.  War is for MEN!

I know that’s not a popular view, but it’s the truth and YOU KNOW IT!!!!

**I wrestled with the use of the word Queer to delineate homosexuals but upon examination it appears that Queer is the accepted nomenclature in the community:
Examples - Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tv Show, Or HBO’s Queer as Folk, There are now Queer Studies at Universities, Queer Lounges are at Sundance Folk Festival as hospitality suites for, Well, Queers, and it turns out there is a genre of music called Queercore.  So, Queer it is.

Particularly look at the Queercore link. Boy, makes you want to fight side by side as a band of brothers with a bunch like that doesn’t it?

Get Real. I want women to be real women and men to be real men. I want Men to love women for being a women and and women to love men for being a MAN. Anything else is an aberration. No one is a greater supporter of women than am I. No one loves women more than I do. That’s why I don’t want mom or moms to be on the battlefield killing other people. Can they? Sure.  Is it right?  NO!

Isn’t it going to be nice in 40 years when Bobby scampers up on Grandma’s lap and asks, “Who did you kill in the war Grandma?”

The pagan left and their great social experiment is a failure in process. Let’s hope sanity kicks in soon.

I be Concubining

LaShawn Barber is a regular read of mine in Blogdom.

A primer.  Who is LaShawn? She is Conservative, Christian, a Good Writer, Fairly Famous, from Tennesse and she is Black.

She is also the kind of Voice I love to hear that simply because of her skin color has the ability to speak truth to a culture that is not lost and drifting in America.

Her post today is what I wrote about regarding the need for Freisians to Speak UP.
She did.

Synopsis.  This rap star wannabe bozo gets 6 (SIX) different women pregnant at one tme.  They are all delivering this fall.  When the Judge asks him is he going to marry any of these women he says in this Story:

“No, I be concubining,” he said. A concubine is a woman who cohabitates with a man to whom she is not married.

Prosecutors said Lackey is expectant father of six children with six different women. The women all are expected to deliver between August and October.

What makes this really really sick is:
As Lackey left the courtroom Friday, a group of teenage girls there for another case appeared to know Lackey. “Oh, there’s Ricky Lackey!” one swooned.

Lackey shrugged the attention off with one word and a wave of his hand. “Fans,” he said.



Thank You LaShawn for saying what I am not allowed to say.  But, if it’s ok, I’m gonna turn that volume knob up a tad for you.  I hope others will too.

underserved and untargeted audiences

Friday’s Chicago Sun Times had this article.

Chicago takes Pride in gay radio format

February 23, 2007

BY ROBERT FEDER Sun-Times Columnist

Since its fairly modest debut in Chicago last spring, Clear Channel Radio’s full-time format geared to gay and lesbian listeners has become a national phenomenon. Pride Radio, which began on an HD Radio side channel of Top 40 WKSC-FM (103.5), has spread to FM stations and dozens of Web sites and other HD channels from coast to coast.

The format consists of upbeat, dance-oriented music, entertainment news, celebrity gossip from Perez Hilton, fashion tips from stylist Phillip Bloch and “Guest of the Hour” appearances by such personalities as Janice Dickerson and Joan Collins.

The breakout hit is “Pride With Ryan & Caroline,” a two-hour weekly talk show about entertainment. It recently was picked up in Denver; Las Vegas; Hartford, Conn.; Tucson, Ariz., and West Palm Beach, Fla.

“There’s a whole untargeted, underserved gay audience out there that radio is missing,” said Darren Davis, vice president of programming and operations for Clear Channel Chicago. “This show captures it.”

Clear Channel is missing it.  There are whole cadre’s of untargeted and underserved audiences out there.

Since the argument is about, “Homosexuals are born that way and need to be “Served”, what about:

Pedophile Radio, They are born wanting to molest and have sex with little children.  They can’t help it.  Let’s have a radio station with giggling little kids for them.  It’ll be such a turn on.

Adulterers, wife swapping radio, Moans set to music. I can hear it now.  It’s as natural as walking for men to want to have random sex with other men’s wives.  We were born that way.  We can’t help it.

Bestiality Radio, Radio for people who were born longing to have sex with animals.  Some people just have natural proclivity for a good looking dog or sheep.  Programming sexy barks and baaas.  It’ll be big.

By now you are sick to your stomach. “Redlin, you are one weird sick puppy” you are saying.

How is my underserved and untargeted audience any less valid or valuable than the Gay and Lesbian radio station? 

Wait, I just screwed up.  Right now as we speak some suit at Clear Channel is saying, “Hey this crackpot has a great idea.  Where can we line up some sexy sheep?”

Tokyo Rose Reincarnated

Last summer the newspapers reported that Tokyo Rose had died.  She lived in Chicago. 

Her messages to demoralize the troops were pretty straightforward and simple.

There were only three main themes:

  1. You will lose this war
  2. Your Government is Lying to you
  3. Your Family wants you to come home
Doesn’t that sound familiar.  I thought she died.  NO, wait, that’s the liberals in congress and the press who say that now.

And you thought I didn’t believe in reincarnation.

Pagan Worship of Mother Earth

Friday was the release of the Holy Writ.  The Pentateuch of the pagan community.  This gospel of the devil will have this proclamation in it somewhere:

  • You have sinned and by your sin been the cause of global wrath.
  • There are other sinners in the world who have not yet heard the bad news.
  • You must repent. 
  • You must do penance by changing your lifestyle and giving power over to the priests of the church of atheism.
  • If you do not, even worse things will be wrought upon you, your children and your children’s children even to the 3rd an 4th generations.
  • Only by sacrifice will this sin be expiated.

And the TV evangelists of this satanic scheme will ply your hearts with images of people and other living beings suffering because of your sin.

Guilt, You must feel guilt.  You are the one who did this.

Then a savior will arise.  They will be politicians and scientists who will pronounce the penance you must pay.

What sin did you commit according to these false prophets?

YOU, YOU EVIL SINNER caused global warming.

And NOW YOU MU$T $PAY$.

Give up your rights, give over your way of life, give up your money, give up everything for the cause of the religion of atheism.

MOTHER EARTH

You think I am kidding? You wait.  And, if you are a scientist who doesn’t accept this or tries to preach against it you are poo pooed and denigrated as a pagan.

Let me set the record straight.  THE CLIMATE IS CHANGING.

That’s not big news.  It’s been changing cyclically for millions of years. For the last 10,000 reliably.  Long before there were cars and industrial pollution there was climate change.  Radical climate change.  Yet things always cycled.  Hotter Colder.

We have been in a long temperate period.  It was bound to change.  It is.  It will.  It may surprise you, we may be just a few years away from another global ice age.  So don’t put away those winter parkas just yet.

But, here’s the truth, you didn’t cause it, you can’t change it.  If every human on earth was eliminated (that means killed) and nature was allowed to take its course without nasty old humans walking around the climate would change, up down up down.

Who you gonna blame then?  I just wonder how far away we are from sacrificing virgins to appease the earth gods to save us from climate change.  Not as far as you think.

I remember chick tracts of 30 years ago with a tribulation scenario.  The new global religion was one of ecology and earth worship.  I thought it was a little far fetched.  Not any more.

Here are a few questions for the doubters among you.

There was a little ice age that took place during the 1300-1600s.  The ice was so bad that in Norway and Sweden they stood at the edge of the glaciers that were encroaching on their land and prayed to God that they would stop.

But, without cars or industrial pollution the climate warmed back up and has stayed temperate since.  What caused this several degree climate change that thawed all the glaciers.  HMMM?

The Tang dynasty in China was doing fine for over 300 years.  Enjoying good life, good crops, good prosperity.  Then the weather changed, in 907AD the revolt took place and there was no more.  That wasn’t caused by any humans.

Or how about the MayansThey prospered well.  Built huge cities.  Wealthy cities.  The peak was about 800AD.  Then about the same time as the Tang Dynasty collapsed so did the Mayans.  The Early 900s.  Why, every 208 years there was a cycle of sun intensity changes that caused the world to warm and dry up.

It did in the Tang dynasty.  It did for the Mayans.  It probably will for us.

But we are mobile. We have trains, planes and automobiles.  We can move to where it’s more temperate.  There will be disruption.  Mankind will survive unless he refuses to adapt.  I plan to adapt.  So should you.

There will be politicians and dictators using these negative changes to accumulate power.  They are evil in their intent.  This whole scare is about power and getting in your pocketbook.

They are manipulating people led down this primrose path into believing that you, we, I had any effect on the climate of the earth.  What arrogance to think we have any effect whatsoever.

Don’t believe them.  It’s all lies and manipulation.  This may well be the platform from which the anti-Christ will arise.  What’s even worse some Christian leaders have bought this lie.  No discernment.

It is interesting to look over the atheists of celebrity who are on this list.  Ask yourself this question, for a large part, do these people support abortion on demand, oppose the war, are for more government in your and my life and are supporters of the global warming conspiracy?  I submit being an atheist lends itself to views of populism and looking for acceptance from others.  Atheism is a lonely place to be.  You need others to accept you since you have no God who loves you and gives himself for you.

Since atheists have no God they worship the earth.

How Sad.  She doesn’t care a whit for them.

Evil Witch (SIC) from California Barbara Boxer

Barbara Boxer says that unless and until Condi Rice has kids (Like Ms Boxer does) she is not qualified to comment on the Iraq War.

In essence she condescended to say, “Since you can’t or don’t have children you can’t possibly grasp the war and it’s consequence”. 

OR

I am fertile, you are cursed and childless.

Therefore God and I hate you.

I can’t help but wonder what the level of outrage would be if a conservative had said something this stupid instead of a liberal.

Oh, Yea, That’s right, in the MSM no liberal can do wrong, no conservative can do right.

My bad.

A Movie We’ve All Seen

Nevada, 1880 The town, Rockton.

People in Rockton are living in fear and oppression from Black Bart the outlaw and his gang.

Black Bart is a villain; he keeps the town in fear.  He kills an occasional citizen to maintain “Order”.  Bart’s gang takes what they want when they want to.  The citizens of Rockton have learned to live under this reign of terror.  They hate it but there is an order to it.  No other outlaws dare invade Bart’s fiefdom.  The devil they know is better than the devil they don’t know.  People live, grow up, go to church, have businesses but by and large only by the permission of the outlaw Bart.  Oh, in private they wish Bart would go away, that he would drop dead but no one dares take him on.

A new governor of the state of Nevada decides that we will not have these corrupt fiefdoms anymore.  He appoints a State Marshall to go to Rockton and take control of the situation.  If the state of Nevada is ever going to become the peaceful state the Governor believes it is destined to be the town of Rockton must be recovered from the thugdom of Black Bart.

The Marshall, Buck White (the color of his hat) shows up in Rockton, the sheriff of the town tells Buck that they don’t need his help.  Things are fine as they are.  Go away.  The Sheriff is Sheriff because Bart put him there and keeps him there.  Sheriff Spite tries to have Marshall White Killed. 

Marshall White figures it all out and jails Sheriff Spite.  Bart doesn’t take this lying down.  He sends several of his thugs to get rid of Marshall White.  But Marshall White is capable.  He has deputized a couple of the locals, and he brought with him two effective gunfighters to help him.  Black Bart doesn’t easily displace Marshall White.  He does inflict casualties.  The two men he brought with him from Reno are gunned down one by one.

In retaliation for Marshall White’s efforts Black Bart burns down the livery stable, shoots up the saloon, and scares heck out of the citizens of Rockton. 

Then the big showdown comes.  Black Bart announces that he will be coming to Rockton to take his town back.  Without Marshall White’s two gunfighters the situation looks grim.

The showdown is going to be at high noon.  Dickey the storeowner tells the Marshall that he should leave town, that Bart is going to kill him like he did the two gunfighters.  Ted the undertaker says nothing is going to turn out OK and life was better before Marshall White came to town.  The saloon keeper Harry and his barmaid Nancy tell Marshall White they wish he had never come to Rockton.  “Look at all the destruction and the men that have died because of the governor’s plan and the Marshall’s arrival”.  In fact the local newspaper publisher, Christopher takes up a petition to be sent to the governor to have Marshall White recalled to Reno.

Marshall White appeals to the townsfolk to support him.  Just have a gun and shoot from behind the closed doors.  Fear keeps the townsfolk from being brave or even taking action to defend themselves. 

Just before high noon Reverend Patrick from the Church picks up a rifle and takes a stand in the steeple of the Church.  Old Joe who was rejected by the cowardly townsfolk hides behind a water tank with just a pistol.  And the deputies emboldened by the support of just a few of the citizens of Rockton are lifted in spirit.  They decide to fight rather than run.

Noon comes, Black Bart and the Gang ride into town.  All is quiet for a bit.  Marshall White steps out onto main street, his guns still holstered.  He tells Black Bart to leave and never come back again or else.

Black Bart leans back in a huge guffaw and says “or else what”?  He makes ridicule of Marshall White.  The townspeople all cower and say to each other, “he should have got out when he could, he’s doomed”. 

Suddenly Bart and his men go for their guns.  Gunfire erupts all up and down Main Street.  Black Bart is killed immediately by a deadeye shot from Marshall White.  His men are confused.  They begin shooting randomly.  Several die.  The rest flee Rockton with haste.  One of the deputies is wounded, Joe is grazed by a bullet, but the Marshall is victorious.

Then, the townsfolk come out, self-congratulating each other on the great victory.  They knew it all along.  They just KNEW the Marshall would do it.

Marshall White mounts his horse and announces he is leaving, Bart’s Gang being destroyed his job is done.  The townspeople say, “Wait, what if his Gang comes back?” Marshall White says, “you have my deputies and now it’s up to you to maintain peace”.  “Elect an honest and effective sheriff and back him up.  Your security from here on out is up to you”.

With a tug on the bridle, he gives his pony a poke and off they go into the sunset.

That’s exactly what President Bush announced he is about to do.

The townsfolk of Iraq are going to have to take up the battle.  We aren’t sticking around forever.

Now if we could just get some of the cowards and traitors from our country to stop hiding their heads in the sand we might have a chance.

The Cast of Characters:

  • Black Bart and His Gang – The Islamofacists in Iraq
  • The Governor - President Bush
  • Marshall White – Our Armed Forces in Iraq
  • Sheriff Spite – Saddam’s Army before
  • Dickey the Cowardly Storeowner - Dick Durbin
  • Ted the nay saying Undertaker – Ted Kennedy
  • Harry and Nancy who run the Saloon – Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi
  • Christopher the Seditionist Newspaperman – Chris Matthews
  • Reverend Patrick - The Religious Right
  • Old Joe – Joe Lieberman
  • The Deputies – The Iraqi Security Forces
Let’s hope the story ends like in the Westerns.

50% unemployment in Iraq is a BIG DEMOCRAT LIE

You have heard that number.  It has become an institutional number.  Institutional in that no one doubts or questions it. 

In fact, here’s a liberal news story from a liberal news source which uses this lie as if it were gospel.

“I think the principle problem is 50 to 70 percent unemployment in Iraq … means you have approximately 1 million to 1.5 million 19 to 49 year olds standing on street corners,” Hallett said. “Young men standing on street corners equal trouble.”

That is an image we have all bought.

One little problem.  It’s just not true. 

The real Iraqi unemployment is under 10%.  They don’t work a 9-5 day.  Most Iraqis are day laborers.  Working one of the thousands of construction projects.  They don’t qualify to be reported out as employed.  It would be the same as if we were to take official records to report what the illegal unemployment rate is.  I’ll bet that would be over 50%. 

I have this on good authority from someone who lives and works there.  It needed to be called what it is, a big LIE. 

From the liberals no less.  What a shock.  I have come to distrust and disbelieve almost ANYTHING they say.

As soon as I am able to get good substantive support to link to I will.  I just thought it was time to set this record straight.  Something liberals are unable to do.

Osama bin Laden Meet Mr Motorola

Last week all kinds of Cell Phone Pix emerged with videos of Saddam being Hung.  Then there was the Michael Richards deal that nailed his comedy coffin shut.  I guess in desperate Iraq people still afford camera phones.  I think that’s global.  It’s how you prove something today.
Watch any “Funniest Video” program.  Cell phones.

So when the world continues to say OBL is alive and well living with Elvis, Castro and Franco in Pakistan I want to see some video.  Come on Osama, cough up a few bucks.  You don’t even have to fire it up, of course if you did we would shoot a hellfire missile up your sorry rear end.

I don’t think a well financed outfit like the Billionaire OBL organization would have any trouble ginning up a 15 second infomercial for Al Queda with a Motorola cell phone.  What a slap in the face to the great Satan that would be.  How humiliating.  NA NA NA NA.

You know why we don’t see this.  Or for that matter a similar cell phone candid from Cuba.

Like that goldfish you flushed down the toilet as a kid, they are all gone.  Alive only in your memory.  And, those in power on both sides want it that way.

Osama, Give me your address, I’ll send a camera phone to you if you promise to email me the video.  On the other hand I don’t know if UPS delivers to HELL.

Men Who Loathe Sex or The End of Civilization as we Know it

I have posted an article which was published in today’s Chicago Sun Times.  I guess it’s OK, but, it’s pretty graphic.  You can read the whole thing HERE.

Excerpts of the article:

Welcome to the new breed of healthy young men who rate sex way beneath their other appetites. In this brave new world, girls are a pain, a disappointment, and rather dangerous to the soul. Self-preserving boys would rather be satisfied with a brew and bit of beef than an erotic tide of reckless passion.

There are lots of guys today who have sexually retreated, or soured on the mating game altogether, and you don’t have to search out “Miller Time” or Taco Bell to find them.

My chief indictment at present, the one we can prove, is Pharmaceutical Abuse. Many of America’s favorite medicines depress the libido, and ironically, the most notorious ones are used to treat depression. Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, and all the rest have made a lot of people feel “happy” at the expense of feeling horny.

I find the spectacle of men’s declining sexual self-interest disturbing. I never would have guessed that this would be the threat I’d be confronting thirty years after the modern gender liberation movement began. I’m an advocate for men being sexually sensitive and discriminating, but what I see in the erotic arena is mostly men who feel disconnected from their bodies, from the “dating game,” and who feel terribly pessimistic that anything is going to change.

I know from those I spend time with in Marriage Counsel that this is a problem.  It has become too much work to do the deed for some men.  They don’t want to fight the battle any more.  The pleasure derived from a beer, a burger and a ball game has become a substitute for being a marriage partner in every way.  And there are other things which I won’t go into here.

Sufficient to say, if this trend continues we will have neutered men, desperate women, childless and lonely.

How did we get here?  What happened? I would appreciate an opinion.  I think we have deep trouble.

PS: I did not link directly to the article which first appeared in Huffington Post this summer.  The comments were very direct and graphic.  If you insist on reading them let Google be your guide.
