There’s a comedy sketch from the 1990s about a male character who stops having sex and becomes a scholar as a result, while a female who starts to have more and more sex becomes an intellectual vegetable.

And don’t go thinking that this is funny. If you want to know why our society at its height of prosperity, opportunity and advanced technology has fallen off a cliff, one of the main reasons is sex.

Oh, sure, we know. Sex keeps your blood flowing. Sex keeps you young. Ha-ha-ha… Sex is funny. Boring conservatives don’t have enough sex. Sex feels good. Sex is natural. God created sex… Blah, blah, blah…

But the way that sex and adultery are so widespread today with easily available abortion and birth control designed to remedy the natural outcome, promiscuous sex has become very dark and is spreading disease at epidemic rates, is causing untold emotional harm, and in the end is producing millions of unplanned pregnancies, abortions and all the consequent social ills.

In short a sexually well-behaved culture is going to progress much farther than a promiscuous one; the comedy sketch is accurate. Restraint and moderation indeed are the essences of all moral, intellectual and material prosperity. Rome fell after its descent into license. And America now is falling too.

Just look at Bill Clinton. He was a sex hound and he ultimately ruined his presidency as a result and became a national joke.

We all know many people who have had too much sex. They have heads that are more like heads of lettuce. Many have been destroyed emotionally, intellectually, physically and often financially.

In fact the best-adjusted people you are likely to know are married and have been married to the same spouse from the start.

Yet what did the socialist/communist left tell us in the 1960s: “Sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll, yeah baby!”

Take these one at a time: Rock n’ roll is trash and should never be taken seriously. Drugs should be avoided at all costs. And promiscuous sex will utterly ruin you if you become obsessed with it because it is just another addiction.

Every rational person knows that permissiveness is appealing but is destructive in practice. And the lefties knew that by promoting excesses in all three areas in the 1960s – sex, drugs and rock music – that they could undermine a whole generation. And they did.

Now just look at the millions of guys who thought that they could get away with extra-marital sex and all of its associated traps. They get caught, they lose their marriage and their career, and/or they fall into despair (Clinton, John Edwards, Ted Kennedy, Anthony Weiner etc.)

Then look at all the girls who have sex, sex, sex. And they never learn to relate to men except with their clothes off. And many end up unmarried and childless as a result. And desperately unhappy.

In early January ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Mitt Romney a question about birth control during a debate.

Everyone, including Romney, seemed puzzled by the question. But it was just a setup for the birth-control debate that is now in the news every day sparked by Obama’s health-care ruling.

The Democrats are now trying to portray Republicans as anti-women because many religious conservatives are opposed to birth control and because Republicans in general are opposed to birth control in insurance plans and in federal funding.

So the Democrats called out the Screw Patrol to respond. During testimony before the House Democrat steering and policy committee a female named Sandra Fluke said that her female peers at Georgetown University law school are having trouble paying for birth control. She said:

“Forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law reported to us that they struggled financially as a result of this policy. Without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school.”

Oh, so there you go. “Without insurance coverage…”

Those three words explain what this entire debate is all about – money, insurance, i.e., getting other people (those who pay for health insurance) to subsidize another liberal “entitlement” (birth control) rather than restricting insurance to cover things like broken arms and heart attacks and other health emergencies.

This is another reason that insurance rates have gone through the roof – because the Democrat left has been using insurance policies as a shopping cart to cover more and more personal behaviors promoted by… Democrats.

First, those “forty percent of the female students at Georgetown Law” are paying $60,000 a year to go to Georgetown and they are worried about the $1,000 a year they need to spend for sex?

Ever heard of “saying no” or “cutting costs” or “giving up things” or “behaving like a lady”? Or using the “rhythm method” of natural birth control? Or “asking the guy to wear a condom”? Or “asking him for the money”?

Unbelievable. These girls are such trash. No decent parent would want their daughter to act like that. And then these girls mostly end up being useless feminist lawyers. You know, the emotional terrorists that no man really wants but whom liberal men need desperately. For sex.

Second, why don’t these females ask for a tuition credit from their leftist cronies who run grossly-overpriced Georgetown? You know, so they can have more sex. Because that apparently is so important to their grade point average.

No, they won’t ask because instead they want the public at large (i.e., including conservatives) to pay for their personal habits through higher insurance premiums and higher taxes.

(Note: One of the serious side effects of birth control pills is blood clots.)

So what about that comedy sketch about the girl having all the sex and becoming an intellectual midget?

Well, Georgetown Law proves it’s true. Because all these sex-crazed tarts at Georgetown are destined to become Democrat barristers who harm society endlessly with their stupidity (i.e., we must subsidize sex, we must put up windmills, we must be nice to terrorists etc.). Many will never have children because they are taught to hate children. Many will never marry because they are such repugnant beings that no man wants them (i.e., Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Janet Reno, Molly Yard, Barbara Mikulski etc.)

And these girls are not only dumb as a bag of hammers, but they are narcissistic and heartless like so many of the sex hounds in America. Like all those horny guys who, throughout history, impregnate women and then run away, never to see their child.

Actually this sexual addition is no different from any other addiction – drugs, cigarettes, alcohol, food etc. And addictions are simply human weaknesses that can be overcome by disciplined people.

Yet the sexually-addicted Georgetown culture is somehow supposed to be A) different and B) entitled to have somebody else financing their addiction.

And don’t forget the crucial essence of addiction; that it can never be satisfied. The more you get the more you want until it gets to the point where the addiction controls you while the original desire – sex, food etc. – becomes moot.

Addictions must be conquered, not accommodated. But liberals believe that somebody else must pay for their addictions because they sure cannot control their primitive urges.

And don’t think for a second that the sex addicts in our culture are “having more fun” than everyone else. They are not. All addictive behavior runs to extremes and finally destroys people.

The addicts get “high” from the sex but then there is a very dark side to their behavior and they get very, very “low”. And then they need to get “high” again. And if you look realistically at this cycle you then see the truth. It is a dead end… like all the rest of socialism. It fits perfectly.
