Ecosexuals: A Love Story With Progessive Academic Inanity
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | Jesse Hathaway

Posted on 11/08/2010 2:33:07 PM PST by Michael van der Galien

Attention, taxpayers: last week, your hard-earned money paid for little Johnny and Jane College Kid to learn about the sexuality of the environmentalism movement. Aren’t you proud of what your children are learning in college?

Here’s some background about me: I’m a proud graduate of Ohio University, nestled in the Appalachian Mountain region of Ohio. Going to Bobcats games on Saturday… hanging out on Court Street on weekend nights… what a time those days were.

However, there’s one aspect of OU that I don’t miss: the stifling progressive inanity that pervades the Athens air like a San Francisco summer smog—two parts Democratic Party machine politics, one part youthful ignorance of reality, and one part student-activist radicalism.

From “whackadoodle” feminists comparing student-run pop-culture magazines to the Coming of the Fourth Reich, to pseudo-Black Pantherettes claiming that urban decay is caused by white people, and proud terrorist-supporting professors, Ohio University more than earns its moniker of the “People’s Republic of Athens.”

That’s why I wasn’t surprised when I heard that the “Ohio University Department of Sustainability” was promoting an art exhibit entitled “Ecosexuals in Love: Our PollenAmorous Relationship with the Earth, Sky, and Sea.” Err, what?

The two artists, California natives Beth Stephens and Annie Sprinkle, explain that their exhibit is about exploring their “very sensual relationship with the Earth… You can lie in the field naked in the sunshine, and that’s all you really need.” Stephens is an art professor at University of California-Santa Cruz.

Sprinkle, who claims to be the world’s first adult film actress to hold a Ph. D., adds that their artwork was inspired by the many “Earth-related fetishes like skinny-dipping, being covered in dirt, and butterflies.”

Some people can’t just let their freak flag fly in the confines of their own home I guess...But schools? Really?

You can lie in the field naked in the sunshine

Come to Florida. Chiggers and fire ants.

I don’t know about rock stars, but Annie would do it with just about anybody. She was a porn star and made a lot of them. Now she makes sex videos and books and is a “performance artist.”

If I were these two, I’d think twice about lying in a field naked. This time of year, all sorts of animals are looking for thickets and caves to hide in.

If you’re an “environmentalist” you’re not supposed to breed.

Also I think having sex generates too much CO2, cut it out stoopid hippies!

:(

I have 2 children graduating OU this month. My daughter is active in the dem. party there. It’s rather distressing she turned out the way she did, but her father was a dem. Too bad I didn’t find out about his political party till after we were married. Obviously he’s an ex.

I was just gonna say, come to a field in my second home state of Missouri in the Ozarks. Lay down in a field and get covered in ticks.
