Let’s say you’re a state legislator who’s so committed to the idea of “protecting life” that you’re a co-sponsor of the “Heartbeat Bill,” an absurd piece of legislation passed by the Ohio House that sought to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable (the hearing was so absurd that supporters tried to call a fetus as a witness). In essence, it would ban all abortions in the state. Protecting life.

Now let’s say you’re away from home and that you’ve had too much to drink. It’s almost midnight. You’re not plastered, but you’re definitely impaired, and you know you’d fail a Breathalyzer. You are over the legal limit in any state in the union. If you get in your car and drive somewhere, can you really claim you believe in “protecting life?” Can you say that you are not risking the lives of innocent drivers around you, as well as your own, as well as the 26-year-old stripper in the passenger seat? Endangering life.



The man picture above is Ohio Rep. Robert P. Mecklenborg, a “family values” Republican who managed to finagle himself into enough trouble that he had to change into one of them fancy new orange shirts.

Mecklenborg found himself in a tight spot in the night of April 22nd, the evening of Good Friday no less.

An Indiana state trooper pulled him over on U.S. 50 in Lawrenceburg upon noticing a burned-out headlight. Smelling alcohol on his breath and spotting his “glossy, bloodshot eyes,” the trooper asked Mecklenborg to step out of the car and perform three field sobriety tests, all of which he failed despite denying that he’d been drinking. He refused a Breathalyzer test and a chemical test. “I’ve just been working hard, and that’s it,” he told the officer.

2. He's in jail?

I figured a "family values" man like him would just get a slap on the wrist.

:shrug:

3. See, that's just dumb.

He was just giving the nice young lady a ride home after work, he should have let her drive though...I mean she was sober, right? It's my general impression that workplace intoxication is frowned upon. :P

4. I do notice the auxillary hypocrite brigade in this as well.

Look at Mecklenborg, easy to Spot the Hypocrisy there! But also, please make note, the various politicians in both Parties who, when asked about Marriage Equality launch into long winded sermons about religious values, Sacraments needing defense, and God in the mix look at the likes of Mecklenborg and suddenly, they have no desire to mention their faith, the need to defend a pure Sacrament, in fact, they say nothing at all. They interrupt their description of Straight Married People as being 'sanctified by God' unlike teh gay, to fall utterly silent in the face of such open assaults on their precious Sacrament. All I can conclude is that they do not give a flying fuck about the Sacrament, they do give a shit about the 'sanctity' of marriage, they simply do not like gay people for reasons of personal bigotry. If they actually thought God was in the Marriage Mix, they would speak out against all who threaten the institution.
Why is it that this clown's behavior does not lead any of the pursed lipped anti equality religious shouters to say a word? Why do we not hear about faith and God in the mix, and the war on marriage, when we see this display? The answer is because marriage means nothing to them, they are just bigots.
Mecklenborg is the blatant hypocrite whose actions highlight the less glaring hypocrisy of those who hold his coats with their silence, who reserve their judgmental rhetoric not for Mecklenborg, but for good gay couples. Their silence toward Mecklenborg and all the other Straight adulterous liars shows support for Mecklenborg. That is correct, they support him with their silence, and that is made doubly obvious when they go off on gay people instead of those liars.
So why does the President not mention God in the Mix around Mecklenborg, Edwards, Ensign, Gingrich, Schawtzenegger, Vitter, or any of the others? What happened to the mix? Where is the 'Sanctity' Obama raves about? Why no outraged dogma flung at them, only at teh gay?
Spot the hypocrite, there is more than one in this picture.
