The first Ruse to march out the Republican door with its talking points in hand, now that Romney has won Nevada, is:  President Obama is out to destroy religion. 

REASON FOR RUSE:  President Obama will never attack Gov. Romney based on his religion, he’s not that kind of man.  But when someone does attack Romney based on his religion, whether true or not, this Ruse gives talking heads and Republican politicians permission to ask the President, “the Republicans say that your are out to destroy religion, what say you?” 

(Have you been hampered in practicing your religion since President Obama was sworn into office?  Any of your friends?) 

PREDICTION:  RUSE 1 is the first of the RELIGIOUS WAR Ruses planned for the 2012 Republican Presidential campaign. 

RUSE 1:  ROMNEY WATCH:  He will approve of RUSE 1.  The Mormon church donated millions of dollars in support of Prop. 8 in California, a voter initiative that defined marriage as the union of a man and a woman.  Later today, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will issue its ruling on Prop. 8.  No matter the decision, be on notice that RUSE 2 will be born: 

Gays are out to destroy America, the next shot in the Religious War Ruse. 

Without my sorrow

Going home

Sometime tomorrow

To where it’s better

Than before

Going home

Without my burden

Going home

Behind the curtain

Going home

Without the costume

That I wore

I am left with the unavoidable conclusion that all these guys believe America is a Christian nation.  It is not.  America is “a free to worship any God or no God” nation. 

Question:  Mr. Campbell, do you ever get in the Christmas spirit?

My Father:  Yes.  And when I do, if I sit very still, it goes away.

OUTRAGE # 2: Jerry Sandusky was seen raping an 11 year old boy in the showers of the Locker Room at Penn State, among other alleged charges involving sexual abuse (rape) of underage boys. He is a free man, awaiting his fate.

If the same Jerry Sandusky at Penn State had been seen raping an 11 year old girl in the showers of the Locker Room at Penn State, among other alleged charges involving sexual abuse (rape) of underage girls, would he be walking around a free man, awaiting his fate?  NO.

Would Joe Paterno and Penn State have behaved differently?  YES.

So raping underage girls is taken more seriously than raping underage boys?  YES.

Take a moment and ponder this: 

An 11 year old boy is being raped by a pedophile in the showers of a college football locker room.  The pedophile says to the mainstream media:  “I may have touched his legs in the shower, I love children.”

An 11 year old girl is being raped by the same pedophile in the showers of a college football locker room.  The pedophile says to the mainstream media:  “I may have touched her legs in the shower, I love children.”

I do not think a crowd would have gathered outside Paterno’s home and spread their love to him if Sandusky’s alleged victims were underage girls.

The difference? 

1.  It is still acceptable for mouthpieces in the mainstream media to spout their demonization of adult men who have sex with adult men. . .  And it is also a firmly held belief by these same mouthpieces, spoken or implied, that underage boys must have deserved their “due” since they didn’t fight back. 

Like I said, outrage.
