I've been wanting to comment on the latest big news, that being the prostitutes and strippers the Secret Service members were hiring on a recent trip to Brazil. I'm probably going to take a little different view point on this and part from my "conservative" self for a while. I'm not a complete conservative though in the strictest definition of the word. I do have some liberal in me but only in the context of live and let live.
I know that there are certain people who believe that the government, meaning the people who are in charge of things, can do no wrong. There is an expectation that the people who supposedly serve the county will do the right things all the time. Only a very ignorant person would actually believe that, and there are a lot of ignorant folks out there that get to vote.
The Secret Service is made up of people who get up and put their pants on one leg at a time just like everybody else does. We shouldn't expect to hold those people to a higher standard than we do anyone else. What the heck, we have school teachers who are sluts, playboys, and have all manner of bad habits, and they are allowed to teach our children! Why should we expect Secret Service agents to be any better?
I realize this "big story" is nothing more than hyperbole from the news media. The news media is a two edged sword in most cases. The people that mainly make up our news media are morally bankrupt and have no sense of decency. They openly support one side of the political spectrum and God help the poor soul that goes against them. It was my understanding that people of their "ilk" thought it was ok to have prostitution and freedom of expression. After all, this is the same group of people who thinks it's ok to murder the un-born human, and allows homosexuals to marry.
Liberals beliefs and common-sense are something of an oxymoron anyway. Liberals are like a bunch of PMS'ed women; there is no rhyme or reason to what they think or do. I for one don't hold the men of the Secret Service in any higher regard than anyone else. There are millions of men who use prostitutes and go to strip clubs and nothing is ever said about that. This crap is nothing more than the news media trying to get ratings, and this stinks! I would love to "investigate" some of these assholes that love to report scandals, and see if they live up to the measure they expect of everyone else. I know one thing; the older I get the more I realize that most people are a whole lot more similar than not, and it's a very fine line one ought to walk before "casting stones" at someone else.
There is not a "real man" alive that doesn't want to look at pretty women, and indeed that doesn't think about having sex with pretty women. If a man tells you differently he is a damn liar! That is the way we are wired and it doesn't make a lick of difference what his chosen profession is, be it preacher or banker. These Secret Service men do not have a LIFE as we know it. I'm not saying what they did was right, but if I never had a chance to date or have a personal life it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibilities for me to go to a strip club. I doubt seriously that I would ever hire a prostitute, but I have bought drinks for a woman (when I was single) with the intentions of "sleeping" with them. Semantics here, that's all it is. It's the same dang thing, just one is more acceptable than the other.
