ORIGINAL: SpinnerofTales quote:
Something that is blatently obvious about your statement that I don't believe anyone has noticed. That Ds isn't about being gay. Neither does it have to do with porn. It doesn't even have to have anything to do with BDSM. In fact, BDSM doesn't have to have anything to do with porn or gay sex either. Your question pretty much sounds as silly as asking why christians participate in DD or Ds. Don't confuse and mix up the whole lot and you can pretty much get why conservative supporters are and can be happily involved in Ds relationships. It could be you simply need to reformat your question? I have no desire to change my question. The fact is that the conservative financial agenda is tied in with the conservative social agenda and we are not part of it. I will instead, since you want to so distance yourself from other alternative sexualities, quote the words of Martin Niemoller, a German pastor and theologian about the results of such thinking. "In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."or, to use the words of Ben Franklin, "I we do not hang together we most assuredly hang separately" Funny I posted the same quote during the Obama primary campaign when the rhetoric was hot and heavy about the man's history of study of Sol Olinsky, his work as an activist street organizer, and his affiliations with people, to put it mildly, on the periphory of society, like a Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and the good Pastor who was happy that the "chickens came home to roost" when my friends, co-workers, and neighbors, were killed on 9/11. All of those concerns expressed by Sean Hannity and the head of the republican party Rush Limbaugh, and all the other right wingers on talk radio are coming to fruition, and we have only just passed the first month of his administration. Within this month we are seeing the biggest political payoff in history with a trillion dollars of spending in HR1, tens of billions of dollars going to be directed to the most irresponsible among us...from Wall Steet to Main Street, the beginning of the destruction of our healthcare system, the potential for nationalization of the banking system per the good Senator Dodd, and the take-over of General Motors by the government (really by the UAW). We witness a call to battle from the new Attorney General who insults every white person in this country with namecalling...we are "cowards when it comes to race"...coming from a black man, appointed by a black President, elected by white people....mis-informed white people but white nonetheless. We are on our way to becoming a second rate economic power to China and India with hundreds of billions of borrowed money being spent to build a "duplicate grid" to move the power of "windmills" to...I dunno...Disneyland maybe! Thousands of windmills across the beautiful horizon of the land...having to be backed up with fossil fuel generators since the wind can't be counted on ... O beautiful for spacious skies, dotted with the insanity of men, For amber waves of grain, not to feed the poor but gas tanks! For purple mountain majesties .... Above the fruited plain covered with towers catching the wind America! America! Where have you gone...my America!
