I was perusing through the daily news today and I couldn’t help but read the article(s) on the not-so-esteemed-Soon-To-Be-Former-Senator Larry Craig. I was reminded of a thought I had years ago when it felt like when a public person is caught in the act of “lewd” behavior, it just seems to be one from the conservative, right-wing end of the stick. I guess it wouldn’t be news if Michael Moore was caught attempting to perform a lewd act in public, now would it!
I have always found this rather amusing because these are the people who are the extremists amongst us. I mean, some of my best friends are conservatives. However, I believe I can safely say that they are also moderates. Which reminds me of the old “everything should be done in moderation” train of thought? In other words, in addition to surrounding myself with a bunch of people who are smarter than I am, I also like a very diverse crowd. But the people I surround myself with are also thinkers and doers. They all realize that nothing is absolute and there is quite a bit of grey area in just about everything…
So, back to the not-so-esteemed-Soon-To-Be-Former-Senator Larry Craig and the extreme right-wing conservatives. Are they really? I mean, how right-wing can a person really be if he/she is attempting to perform lewd acts in public, taking drugs, drinking and driving, etc, etc. Especially if he/she is a public persona, a representative of a conservative party, or even a person of the cloth. So when you get right down to it, many conservatives are not really conservatives. Or maybe they are conservatives only when it is convenient for them. Hmmm, sort of like those ultra-religious zealots who choose to quote scripture to me in an effort to show me what a devious lifestyle I live. They seem to forget about the rest of the scripture that their life doesn’t agree with (i.e., THE ENTIRE OLD TESTAMENT!).
These are the same people that complain about television shows with gay characters, and how that evil box has de-sensitized our society. I think they are right. I think that they have de-sensitized themselves so much by watching these horrendous shows (instead of changing the channel) that when one of them is caught in the act of cruising a frigging airport bathroom , he by all means has the right to change his story (after pleading guilty to a lesser charge), and claim the he is NOT gay. Yeah, right.
I think you just lost major points from your conservative card, Mr. not-so-esteemed-Soon-To-Be-Former-Senator Larry Craig. Just don't think that when you lose this fight, and you will, you will be greatfully accepted into my world.
