From our “Death of Civilization” file – via Jammie Wearing Fool:
Sex is fine. They’re just not down with the bunga bunga.
More than 100,000 Italian women and their supporters turned out across the country to protest against Premier Silvio Berlusconi, saying his dalliances with young women humiliate the sex as a whole and degrade female dignity…
If you click on the link, you’ll see a picture of Italian women holding up signs saying, “We Like Sex, not Bunga Bunga”. What is “bunga bunga”? Not entirely sure, but it isn’t having tea with the queen. This article in The Telegraph goes a bit in to it, but its still unclear if its actual sex, or just being a geezer politician paying young floozies to hang around with him. Demonstrating the universality of civilization’s death, the demonstrations are in Italy, but the signs are in English.
Berlusconi is claiming that the demonstrations are politically motivated. No, kidding. Wonder if he figured that out all by himself or did he need a team of consultants to work it out? This scandal demonstrates a truth that conservatives in America should pay heed to – you can’t be conservative unless you are actually trying to live a moral life. Its not that people can’t fall short – we all do; but there must be a conscious effort, every day, by those who propose to lead a conservative movement to live a decent life. Berlusconi may fall from power over this – an old, successful and powerful man to be brought down because of a nauseating desire on his part to use women as tools for personal pleasure. This will not only wreck him, but also probably lay his party in ruins, thus paving the way for a leftist party or coalition of some sort to gain control of Italy. All that Berlusconi wanted to do undone because he lacked the wit to understand that morality comes before everything else.
Here in the United States we have a lot of people saying we conservatives should lighten up about sexual matters. Not be too concerned about marriage. Be ok with abortion and birth control. Don’t dare try to purge the pornography and violence from our popular culture. Get “with it”, as it were. Well, if we do that, we’ll be destroyed – we’ll eventually be led by a herd of Berlusconis who will destroy everything we’re working for. We’ve already found enough trouble in this area – we don’t need to invite even more of it in to our house.
So, no to bunga bunga – let’s have a conservative movement of strong moral courage; a movement to be proud of and a movement which will lead to victory.
