Extreme Hypocrisy: The Sex Lives of Republicans

This is perfect metaphor of what Republicans do- anally rape those who are asleep.

Extreme Hypocrisy:
The Sex Lives of Republicans

by Michael I. Niman, ArtVoice 5-26-05

In early November of 2004 I wrote about George W. Bush’s first post-reelection appointment – his selection of anti-abortion activist Dr. W. David Hager to head the FDA’s Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee. This was the same Dr. Hager who wrote that women suffering from PMS need only to turn to the bible for help. In his private practice he refused to prescribe birth control medication to unmarried women. As a Republican political activist Hager opposed the sale of birth control drugs he identified as abortifacients. In essence, by putting an avowed opponent of reproductive health in charge of reproductive health drugs, Bush followed suit on his four-year track record of putting wolves in charge of hen houses.

Hager won appointment, not as chair, but as the Advisory Committee’s most influential member nonetheless. Since his appointment, Hager successfully prevented legal over the counter sale of the “Plan B” morning after emergency birth control pill. Advocates point out that the pill is only effective if it is readily available so that women can purchase it the morning after having sex – or after being raped. And by all accounts, the pill is benign – probably safer than aspirin. Hager’s complaint has nothing to do with product safety, however, which is the charge of his committee, but with his belief that the Plan B pill is an abortifacant, since it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus (Breast feeding, by the way, has the same effect on a woman’s body, usually preventing pregnancy as long as feeding continues).

Bush’s Butt Master

Hager has been in the news more recently, since his Evangelical Christian conservative wife of over thirty years divorced him, for among other reasons, Hager’s compulsion to anally rape her and his strange need to leave money by her bed after doing so. At first, his former wife, Linda Davis, now married to a Methodist minister, kept quiet about the abuse, wanting to protect her adult children from the scandal. Eventually, according to an interview published in The Nation, Davis came forward after hearing her ex-husband stand on a church pulpit and spew a ‘my wife done me wrong and left me after 32 years’ country music sort of misogynistic sermon. Davis was disgusted that her husband “had the gall to stand under the banner of holiness of the Lord and lie, by the sin of omission” about his divorce. After that, Davis felt she had a moral obligation to make the record of her divorce from Hager public.

Davis explained how Hager, true to his fundamentalist beliefs, felt that the man of the house should control its wealth – hence he kept strict control of the family’s finances. He gave his wife access to the family’s money in the form of payment for sexual services. Usually this meant various forms of sodomy that disgusted and pained Davis. When Davis later developed narcolepsy, according to The Nation, a disorder affecting sleep-wake cycles which causes its victims to unexpectedly pass into unconsciousness, she alleges that Hager would take advantage of her unconscious states to penetrate her anally. In Hager’s mind, this rape wasn’t theft, since he always left money at the scene of his crime. Perhaps nonconsensual anal sex is Hager’s fundamentalist idea of Plan B contraception – a nation of “Sodomite” rapists without any need for abortion or birth control. Or more to the point – Hager’s own domestic life models his hatred toward all women – who in his world would be nothing more than a flock of child-bearing cows and whores – financially dependent and without reproductive rights.

The above data clearly shows a pattern. The religious right has good reason to be concerned about family values – their own family values. They should deal with their own tortured lives and leave the rest of us in peace.

Interesting site dedicated to the sex lives of the gop:

It lists the names and actions of those who are heros to the crew at free republic.

The emphasis of this site is on priests and preachers gone bad:

who had to put up with that kind of treatment.

It has long been my belief that most fundies who object to SEX are also people with really screwed up ideas about SEX. Mommy and Daddy teach them that sex is nasty and dirty and bad, yet they themselves still want sex! It is sex that must be evil, not they!

You scratch just beneath the surface of any freeper, and there is some sick, twisted stuff going on in that mind. Who Would Jesus Anally Rape?

I wish these people would get therapy and shut the hell up.

Has the statute of limitations run out? This is rape. I can't even express how the above makes my skin crawl. I'm only sorry that his wife did not press charges.

They need to be in therapy.
