Oh how soon we forget!
Sean Hannity was in the lead on the story throughout. False accusations of rape against Duke Lacrosse players made headline news. Then we learned she was pregnant. Now disbarred District Attorney Michael Nifong withheld crucial DNA evidence that proved not one of the accused had been with the accuser sexually. Subsequent DNA tests demonstrated that there would be no paternity liability on the part of any of them. She was not impregnated during her fake rape. Apparently, that happened later at her discretion.
In short, it was not a LEGITIMATE rape. In fact, it was so illegitimate that the DA lost his reputation, his office, his license, and his career.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Mitt Romney has gone on record continuing his support of a gay boy scout organization. This, of course -- continuing our sports theme -- is a triple double. Romney needed something to fit snugly between his past and present support for a gay military and gay adoption by gay couples.
Firestorm?
Nah, Romney’s homosexualism was just “fine and dandy AOK.” After all it wasn't in defense of innocent life as was Representative Todd Akins' comment that there's a difference between fake rape and legitimate rape. (See Lacrosse example above.) Also, Akins had the temerity to suggest that a receptive female partner in a willing relationship is more likely to become pregnant than is a violently assaulted woman. There is a certain hopeful logic to that whether or not one knows that violent rape does result in pregnancy.
More to the point is Akins' intent. If there were mistakes made in a rush of words, were they mistakes of the head or mistakes of the heart?
This consistently life-affirming, conservative Christian legislator has huge conservative ratings with the American Conservative Union. A graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary in St Louis, a school renowned as a bastion of traditional, bible-believing Christianity, Representative Akins earned a Master of Divinity. It is rare for one to pursue a Master of Divinity without some sense of divine calling. After all, it is the preparatory degree for ordained ministry. Also, it is among the lengthiest of masters degrees, requiring over 90 semester hours for completion when most others are in the 35-40 hour range. Finally, Akins was only addressing the subject because he was trying to make a pro-life point about saving the life of a baby resulting from rape.
Of course, this is circumstantial evidence about the intent of Representative Akins' heart. In any case, he was advocating immoral behavior as is Mitt Romney’s homosexualism.
So, if I was given the chance to replace one and keep the other....I'd be showing Boy Scout Mitt the door.
Romney is part of the problem right now, and in November Romney is the entire problem.
I sometimes employ the expression “gayism” to refer to the ideology as opposed to the simple moral failing. So I’m fine with the other word as well. It seems useful.
There is no such term in English as “legitimate rape”. You either committed rape or your didn’t. The Duke Lacrosse case was a false accusation of rape. It is sort of like saying “biological father”.
Objection to the Sodomite agenda is a dirty deed or is it JR commits dirty deeds?
Just wondering.
So you think that Mr. Jim Robinson "rants"? This is his site, his home if you will, and we are guests here through his good graces. If nothing else, it is bad form to say that our host rants.
Jim has fought for his country, build the world's premiere Conservative web site from scratch and has provided a forum for we pro-God, pro-life, pro-gun and pro-liberty to engage in Conservative activism. This is the site that was instrumental in the Clinton impeachment, the exposure of John Kerry's lies and the removal of Dan Rather. To characterize the thoughts of Mr. Robinson as "off the wall rants" reveals a lack of respect for the boss. I've learned a lot from him and his thoughts have only served to solidify my Christian Conservatism.
Thanks. I’ll bookmark it and do the research on it in the morning.
Hi Yash & P-Marlowe,
They took this thread and pulled it from editorial, freeper editorial, and the news forum.
I’m not sure which forum it’s in yet.
Apparently, the “truce” is over, and non-supporters of Romney are going to be hidden in the back rooms of the mansion.
If we get banned we’ll meet on the other side of Jordan some day.
Rotflol!
You don’t read much do you? That term was coined by Tom Wolfe in Bonfire of the Vanities.
Utterly delusional...Obama's socialization of America is the problem.
To be fair, I'm thinking that what Akin might have been talking about with this term is along the lines of "rape that actually occurred," as opposed to the sort of "rape" that happens when a girl gets with some guy, her dad finds out, gets mad, and then she claims she was raped to save her own skin.

Same here. I don't think I've ever used the term "gay" to describe the miserable, unhappy creatures that deliberately and maliciously engage in the despicable acts that clearly are against the Will of God. Granted, I'm of an older generation (now 70) when the word "gay" meant happy and joyous. In fact, I'd even characterize my marriage to my dear, late wife as gay. God Bless her memory and the wonderful years we shared.
I may be fighting a losing battle, but before I pass on, I'd sure like to see "gay" restored to its rightful and original meaning. The sodomites have ruined so much -- even our English language. Let's take it back!
You’re really going to need to explain yourself, here. I’ve read your reply several times, and can only conclude that you dislike Jim Robinson for his opposition to gay agenda issues.
Is this a fair reading of your intentions in writing this? If so, why are you here?
Never mind. {;^)
Of course there is. See Merriam-Webster definition #2 below. It's an adjective and a noun. I'll use it in a sentence. The Duke Lacrosse players did not commit a legitimate rape. (It was not a spurious rape.) From Merriam-Webster: Definition of LEGITIMATE 1a : lawfully begotten; specifically : born in wedlock b : having full filial rights and obligations by birth 2: being exactly as purposed : neither spurious nor false 3a : accordant with law or with established legal forms and requirements b : ruling by or based on the strict principle of hereditary right 4: conforming to recognized principles or accepted rules and standards 5: relating to plays acted by professional actors but not including revues, burlesque, or some forms of musical comedy
