What is it with these so-called Christians-slash-conservatives and their sex problems? As in adultery, rape, molestation, harassment, texting/sexting and visits to prostitutes? Their membership is legion — David Vitter, Bill O'Reilly, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Strom Thurmond, John Diehl in Missouri, that guy in Vermont... for a longer list (and if you have a strong stomach), click here.
Now, naturally, Democrats have been guilty of some of this stuff, too. But we are not the party of the righteous wingnuts, trying to tell everyone else how to live. On the Republican side, however, the latest case in point is "Josh Duggar," who has been forced to resign from his position at the Family Research Council because it's been revealed that as an underage teen, he molested other underage teens.
Since we're political beings, we were trying to figure out why this "Duggar" jackass thought he could take a prominent position with the Family Research Council — not that we care about the effect on the Family Research Council, but you get what we mean — knowing that this outrage was lurking in his past. And how many Republican candidates have had their pictures taken with him? The mind boggles. We just didn't get why "Josh" didn't realize he was putting his party and his employer in peril.
A friend suggested this: "Because Jesus has forgiven him!"
Well — fine. That still doesn't explain the political arrogance — or naivete.
But then it dawned on us: Maybe Jesus hasn't forgiven him. Not at all. Which is why all this is coming out in the first place. God works in mysterious ways! We cats PURR.

I read the entire list. Amazing. Republicans are even
creepier than I thought.
