Are we done throwing rocks at the Christian Conservative Duggar Family yet?
Would we be having this discussion if they were anything but Conservative?
Would we be having this discussion if they were anything but Christian?
And...
Why should we care?
How much is enough?
How long do we beat this Dead Horse before we tire of it?
Should we find some Liberal Sexual Perverts to beat-up on, next?
Lord knows, there's plenty to choose from.
we should care because the family has been raking in MILLIONS from the rw rubes out there whilst hiding a heinous un-christian secret.
Sexuality (and related deviancy and aberration and perverseness) is a human condition, not a religious one, nor a sectarian one.
If such an episode had occurred in either your family or mine, would you (or I) have covered it up? I believe that the likely answer is: "Yes, of course."
Can it be said that, after such an unfortunate incident, that the teen-offender (Josh) had straightened-out, and was no longer likely to offend? Probably.
Can it be said that - once the offending teen had been straightened out - that they were once again, worthy spokespeople? I dunno. Maybe.
Can one offend - or be associated by blood ties with an offender - and have a change-of-heart and mind - and become worthy to speak on such? Maybe.
There's no escaping the fact that the kid phukked up.
There's also no escaping the fact that the Mainstream Media has turned the thing into a shark-like feeding frenzy and greatly harmed the family.
Rather like taking a rusty serrated steak-knife and slicing down the middle of an old scar - just to discredit and embarrass a family that had already suffered and had managed to heal and get past the pain for the most part and moved on with their lives.
Beyond the ghost of the 14-year-old offending teen - locked away in the mists of time - I blame the goddamned media for this particular feeding frenzy.
As well as the Liberals who are positively gushing with orgasmic delight over the distress of this family.
Mind you, Conservatives are capable of doing much the same thing, when the opportunity presents itself.
All of which speaks volumes as to the draconian manner in which we Americans have divided ourselves into two camps of similarly deluded plebians.
