The Republican nominee for governor thinks bike paths are part of a UN plot to make us all sissies, or something. And Ken Buck is the nominee for the Senate and he seems to be pro-incest and is definitely pro-rape ara really not that far away from what most republicans and Tea baggers think, they are just a little more upfront about it. I have feeling that the lasting legacy of the Tea Party will be that they forced their candidates to explicitely state some things that make them pretty much unelectable in all but the most conservetive areas of the country.

That’s silly, like saying someone who is pro-choice must also be pro-murder, rather than saying that they are, in-fact, pro liberty or pro freedom or pro privacy.
Of course, Camille Pagilia, a democrat feminist atheist says abortion IS murder. (I’m not sure the government can find this to be true, the Constitution is silent):
But the pro-life position, whether or not it is based on religious orthodoxy, is more ethically highly evolved than my own tenet of unconstrained access to abortion on demand. My argument (as in my first book, “Sexual Personae,”) has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature’s fascism. Nature herself is a mass murderer, making casual, cruel experiments and condemning 10,000 to die so that one more fit will live and thrive.
Hence I have always frankly admitted that abortion is murder, the extermination of the powerless by the powerful. Liberals for the most part have shrunk from facing the ethical consequences of their embrace of abortion, which results in the annihilation of concrete individuals and not just clumps of insensate tissue. The state in my view has no authority whatever to intervene in the biological processes of any woman’s body, which nature has implanted there before birth and hence before that woman’s entrance into society and citizenship.

so you agree with buck that Rape victims and victims of incest should be forced to have the children?
what about the morning after pill do you consider that murder as well?
no, i said:
I’m not sure the government can find this to be true, the Constitution is silent.
I don’t like the government telling us what to do. If you give the govt the power to stifle my expression of freedoms, you give it the power to take away yours, too.
what freedom do you feel is being stifled?
there are two basic areas of privacy, let’s call them bedroom and wallet. with the exceptions of abusing another person, it’s best for everyone to stay out of each others’ areas, except by explicit invitation.
i don’t need someone to come after my wallet over something that i left them alone in their bedroom to accomplish.
don’t tax me to fix another person’s mistake. that’s moral hazard.
