Pat Buchanan: "when my generation was growing up, there was a certain mystery about sex."

[CTyankee]

He was longing for the good old days today on Morning Joe. This is the kind of crap that gives us seniors a bad name!

I started yelling at the TV "Mystery! You mean IGNORANCE, you dipsh*t!"

Yeah, under that rationale let's not give kids any driver's ed, either. Keep the mystery. That works, doesn't it?

[JaneQPublic]

1. Yeah, and the mystery was...

..."Why would anyone have sex with Pat Buchanan?"

[meegbear]

4. +1

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

7. Goodbye, baseball!

[Mist]

13. JaneQ gets the funniest post of the morning award! nt

[CTyankee]

18. Absolutely!

[EFerrari]

22. LOL!

[Courtesy Flush]

2. There was also a mystery about DNA. nt

[roguevalley]

30. there was no mystery. people were having it as much then as now

but it was easier to get caught.

[Johonny]

33. the birthrate is at an all time low now

so we might not even be having it as much as then. Or at least we are better informed about what happens :)

[Johonny]

31. tides go in, tides go out

you can't explain that!

[spanone]

3. i bet it's still a mystery to pat.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

14. +1

[LiberalLoner]

16. I bet so too, LOL! +1 n/t

[Doctor_J]

24. Well, he and Shelly ARE childless

so you may be right

[Greybnk48]

5. yeah, he wondered if he was ever going to get any.

Pat 'virgin 'till at least college" Buchanan.

[Mist]

12. Since Pat and his wife have no kids, it may still be a mystery....nt

[RKP5637]

6. Just about everything is a mystery to that dinosaur. I can't even watch that

lame comedy show.

[HughBeaumont]

8. Hey, Pat. Pleaaassse don't talk about sex, OKAY?

In fact, can you just seal your mouth up for, you know, all eternity?

[Oilwellian]

19. Indeed

Pat Buchanan and sex in the same sentence is NOT a good visual. :D

[CTyankee]

21. Yeah, the EWWW factor! Once Pat and Barnicle had a little chat on the show

about what was clearly "days that are no more" as in "can't get it up anymore." Seeing these two old guys talking about (clearly) sex, I was embarrassed myself!

[HopeHoops]

9. And he never figured it out.

[FSogol]

10. That's why various veneral dieseses were an epidemic in the 1950s.

Ignorant dumb-ass.

[MineralMan]

11. I guess he wants to back to the days where boys learned

about sex while sitting in a circle. :rofl:

[myrna minx]

15. Back when he had an onion on his belt, which was the style at the time.

The last thing I want to ruminate about is Pat Buchanan's sexual mysteries.

[ehrnst]

17. It's called a clitoris, Pat. Located "front and center." (nt)

20. "Why can't they be like we were?" - BuchAhole (R)

"Perfect (smirk) in every way.
What's the matter with kids today."

[Solly Mack]

23. The mystery was often solved in the backseat...the ignorance, not so much.

[no_hypocrisy]

25. Pat's confusing mystery with ignorance.

Nobody taught birth control, certainly not school and not likely parents and/or physicians.

Planned Parenthood was not as established as it is today.

Unwed mothers were bundled off out of town and their babies taken away from them and adopted out, severing all future contact with them.

If you were unmarried and engaged in sexual relations, males got a free pass if not admiration. Females were "bad girls".

Girls tended to marry young in order to "legitimately" engage in sexual relations. Sometimes they didn't finish high school in order to marry.

Birth control was available to only married couples in many states. And the pharmacist was the gatekeeper to contraceptives.

Sexually transmitted diseases proliferated due to ignorance of the symptoms and pathology.

There was the absence, if not vacuum, of "mystery" if you were gay. You could expect to be beaten severely, threatened with public humiliation which included losing your employment and your family, and no hope for redemption in the community.

[H2O Man]

26. While Patrick

would like to "forget" much of his teenaged behavior, and might lie to cover parts of it up, I am willing to take him on his word that sex was a mystery to him.

[jberryhill]

27. It was only a mystery because sheep can't talk

[JoePhilly]

29. Just say "naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

[Bluenorthwest]

28. Pat like Obama is opposed to equal rights for all due to their

shared set of religious dogmas. Pat is not see as a 'senior' he is seen as a Christian and as a Right Wiinger. He has been the same bigot he is today since at least the Nixon administration, so his age is not a factor in his raving ignorance, as his ignorance is vintage, dating back to Pat's dewy youth.

[AsahinaKimi]

32. SO why is it that Devotely Religious people

Who hate sex, do not have their own equipment surgically removed? What ever happened to practicing what you preach? (Ew! gross, yes ..I know.)
