Moralists Are Invariably Monsters: Edition 6,661

Well now, here's a surprise: it appears that an anti-gay crusader goes in for sex with male escorts. How can we account for this type of oddity? Why this hasn't happened since Mark Foley spearheaded the effort to protect kids from internet predation, since it turned out that Jim Bakker would fuck a woodpile if he thought there was a snake in it. Since Jeffy-Jim Guckert-Gannon tuned out to be a phony-marine posing as a reporter when not whoring out as macho "top" to gay guys. Since...oh yeah, Freud explained it -- projection.

The Spartans, arguably the baddest asskickers ever to walk the planet, perhaps because macho was officially the Spartan state religion, made boy-fucking pretty much a sacrament. They understood that an overweening interest in things masculine led one quite naturally back around to an erotic interest in men. And they were fine with that. What happened then? As Nietszche explains it, "Christianity gave Eros poison to drink. He did not die from it but degenerated to vice." That, in 20 words or less, is how we got today's crop of ubiquitous, nauseating hypocrites.
