Quick! Hide the Virgins!

This piece basically stands on its own.  It's a masterwork of hysterical RW hysteria.  

An Obama presidency would signal the final salvo by the Left in the culture wars. Obama's advance troops have already taken over our college campuses, have bound and gagged our conservative professors, have ravished our virgins, have pillaged our stores of wisdom, and have ensconced themselves in the thrones of power in deans', presidents' and department heads' offices.

The victory cry is heard across the land in the cheers of Obama's constituency on college campuses.

This has been going on under the very noses of the Republicans.

That's all good and well, but you've got to go read the comments. I heart Balloon Juice.  

Best comment "It's hauntingly beautiful, in its own special way."

Now I regret skipping my last reunion.  Good times.

There weren't any virgins at my (extremely bookish) college when I got there.  Certainly no female ones, but that didn't hinder the modesty or respectability of the overriding majority of those I knew.

Apparently, now chastity pledge "virgins" are the ones who are having the REALLY nasty sex.  You know, anything goes but that!  

As Bill Maher said:

New Rule: Abstinence pledges make you horny. A new eight-year study just released reveals that American teenagers who take "virginity" pledges of the sort so favored by the Bush administration wind up with just as many STDs as the other kids.

But that's not all -- taking the pledges also makes a teenage girl six times more likely to perform oral sex, and a boy four times more likely to get anal. Which leads me to an important question: where were these pledges when I was in high school?




Wow. (Silence Dogood - 6/12/2008 3:22:13 PM)
I clicked through the link because I didn't understand how it could possibly be true that "a boy [who takes a absintence pledge] is four times more likely to get anal," and I wanted to get more information about the study.  I never did find the answer--I suspect the confusion is mainly about what the phrase "get anal" implies about pitching versus catching.

But what mainly distracted me from finding the answer was, as always, Bill Maher's wit:

Is there any greater irony than the fact that the Christian Right actually got their precious little adolescent daughters to say to their freshly scrubbed boyfriends: "Please, I want to remain pure for my wedding night, so only in the ass. Then I'll blow you." Well, at least these kids are really thinking outside the box.

"Thinking outside the box?"  Brilliant.
