“One of the things I will talk about, that no president has
talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this
country.” And also, “Many of the Christian faith have said, well,
that’s okay, contraception is okay. It’s not okay. It’s a
license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things
are supposed to be.”
Do things. Ummm … Not exactly a holistic attitude toward sex,
but instead a conception that breaks down making love into separate
and discreet activities … which people do, when they do things.
Can we elect an 11-year old to the Presidency? Because this is
the level of the former senator from Pennsylvania’s sophistication
with respect (well 'not respect' actually) to human sexuality. He
envisions a politics where government cannot regulate pollution or
insider trading, but can be cognizant of whether husbands and wives
are having non-procreative sex in anything other than the missionary
position. He feels life would be better if there were Vatican
authorized vanilla sex Gestapo agents standing by in case non-Vatican
authorized sex acts take place within the jurisdiction of the United
States. It's a sexy fantasy …. voyeurs with arrest warrants lurking
to seize upon any illicit “thing” We'll almost surely need
surveillance cameras for this operation, and then trials can be
broadcast live, and perhaps if things get really pure and historical
and back to the way the founders understood individuality, we will be
blessed with public hanging on the town green for all sorts of
“things” the evidence of which will eventually make its way onto
You-Tube. Of course, to watch the live executions or download the
You-Tube vids you are gonna have to be in a free country like Canada or
Holland.
Then again after food stamps are eliminated, gays kicked from the
military, all gay unions and marriages legally annulled, and the
nuking of Tehran, and all contraception pulled from the shelves, a decedant European welfare state will suddenly
appear very vivacious and quite a bit less Calvinist.
The Santorum Theocracy will never come about anymore than the
Caliphate will be re-established, but the sexy vision of power,
degradation, and servility we exorcise from our politics may linger
in our sex lives where, crude as they are, they are at home along
with all of our high and low hopes and passions
