(Star) Parker Blames Sexual Promiscuity For Poverty, Government Spending, All Social Problems
In an appearance on Family Life radio on Sunday, Star Parker argued that all of America’s ills, from excessive government spending to deep-rooted poverty, are a result of “sexual promiscuity” and “immorality.” Parker, who wrote in a column this week that America “can’t divorce our sexual promiscuity from our fiscal promiscuity,” told Family Life said that “sexual irresponsibility and immorality” led to “the top three social crises confronting us as a nation today,” which she said are “AIDS, abortion, and the entire welfare state.” Only by reducing our “sexual energy,” Parker claims, can we produce “economic health as well as moral health"...

12. I second that. Who is Star Parker?
OK, I see she is some right-wing commentator.

Low bar set there, I guess anyone these days can get a job selling that crapola.

2. Didn't we have these problems back in the 50's before
divorce and singles living together were common? Rather when the family unit was together we still had these problems so the splitting of the family unit could not be the problem.

13. I'm very socially conservative when it comes to sexual promiscuity...
Edited on Tue Oct-25-11 02:03 PM by Sarah Ibarruri
1. I'm in favor of monogamy (polygamy is exploitative, and the women that defend it remind me of the victims of James Jones, who drank the Kool-Aid).
2. In favor of marriage because it sets clear guidelines for financial obligations, particularly when there are children.
3. I'm in favor of people living together only under some sort of contractual agreement, and not out of one (same reason as above).
4. I'm in favor of gay marriage.
5. In favor of giving out condoms on street corners for free, so people stop having unprotected sex. (Health is vital).
6. In favor of sex education. (So kids stop getting pregnant out of stupidity).
7. I think adultery lawsuits against 'the other man' and 'the other woman' should be allowed freely. (Because adultery causes chaos in marriages and society, particularly where children are involved).
8. I'm against polygamy.
9. I'm against swinging.
10.I'm against sexual promiscuity.
11.I'm against porn involving or portraying children, teens, enslavement, or death.
12.I'm against nude clubs being allowed inside cities and towns. Let them be in the outskirts, where they have trouble making money.
13.I'm all for throwing expensive call girls in the same dirty slammers along with poor, drug-addicted prostitutes, and forcing them all to undergo months of rehabilitation, so they quit using their bodies as trash.

I am against Star Parker, because he's a #1 asshole racist.

17. Er, are you sure you're on the right forum? Lemme respond a bit.

#1, 2 are alright. 3: would you support enforcing that through law?
4: GREAT!
5: Someone just heckled: "PEDOPHILE SOCIALIST!"
6: Ignorance never solved any problems.
7: Expect a jam-packed court system.
8: Good.
9: Swinging is NOT classy.
10: Yeah.
11: That's what child porn and obscenity laws are for.
12: YOU BIG GUBMINT NANNY STATIST! What about the First Amendment? And if you don't support a business, stay home!
13: How about taxing and regulating prostitution instead? Prohibiting it only drove it underground just like what happened with alcohol and marijuana. Against 1st amendment right of association.

19. But how would you legislate these issues, if you were in a position to do so?
Long-time reader, first-time caller---in other words, I don't think we've ever spoken, but I enjoy reading your posts.

If someone waved a magic wand and made you a US Senator, would your votes match your personal convictions that you've listed, or would you leave those as your personal beliefs, and not want to make laws based on those beliefs? Specifically, polygamy, swinging, sexual promiscuity, and some of the non-illegal porn. You're not really a senator, and there are no wrong answers--I was just curious. Thank you.

15. just another Repug hack
Star Parker (born Larstella Irby in 1956) was the 2010 Republican Party candidate for the California's 37th congressional district, and a American political commentator, author, and social critic. Parker is also an advocate and spokesperson for American conservative causes. Nuff said.

16. Everyone knows Diaper Sex with Hookers (R) is the real problem
especially when indulged in with toe-tapping, luggage-handling faux lesbian B & D rentboys (R) in public airport bathroom stalls (R) while partying on the offical Republicon Party credit card and smirking hideously while proclaiming the 'superiority' of your Republicon Family Values

That much every honorable person on the planet understands

20. Ms. Parker, can you please provide even one iota of data to support your bullshit claims?
No? Didn't think so, Star.

Now, go sit down and shut the fuck up, and let the adults do the talking.
