What I do find interesting is that the RNC quickly found their scapegoat and fired her. Yes, of course it was a woman that they found to fire. But, the most interesting thing to me was that it was actually a GOP donor who picked up the tab. Not the RNC staffer.
So, the staffer organized the field trip to the lesbian bondage strip club, but it was paid for by a GOP donor. The donor then turned in the receipts asking for reimbursement. So, why fire the staffer? She isn't the one who requested RNC funds pay for the trip. And she isn't the one who approved it? This is typical of how Washington works. Find someone to blame who actually has no authority or power over anything, and fire that person (usually a "her") and then pretend that everything is just fine. And, the media generally goes along with that.
A lot of people have had a lot to say about the club "Voyeur" that they went to. But come on people. We're talking about republicans here. They aren't gonna get together and go to Baby Dolls which is located under the I-35 overpass in San Antonio and hang out with the "Real Americans." No, republicans like their strip clubs the same as their golf and country clubs. Exclusive.
For the record, I found Baby Dolls (not sure if it even still exists) to be really scary. In fact, I remember thinking to myself that if it was THIS scary at 3:00 in the afternoon, I REALLY didn't want to see that place at night. So, although the conversation with "Willow," a very sweet girl who was only 8.75 months pregnant at the time, was quite fun, I chose not to return to that place. I stuck to Wild Zebra from then on. Although, I'm pretty sure the RNC people wouldn't go there either.
What strippers might look like...
Speaking of strip clubs. Did you see that Iceland has outlawed them completely? So much for my ever visiting that shit hole. I've seen a few articles by women hailing this new law as a great victory for feminism. Personally, I see it as a horrible (and ominous) defeat against freedom of expression, speech and women's control over their own bodies and lives.
One thing I've always been amazed at, is left-wing "feminist" groups willingness to team up with right-wing "Christian" groups to go after places like strip clubs and legalized prostitution. But, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that they would team up like this. The one thing both groups have in common is their desire to control women. Strippers and prostitutes and others are in danger of not being dependent on feminist groups, so those groups try to outlaw strip clubs and whatever else in an attempt to get women back into line.
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying that stripping is a beautiful and wonderful life. Although for some it really probably is. I'm not saying that it isn't humiliating and doesn't often times lead to heavy drinking and drug use and other bad things. But, outlawing strip clubs does nothing to address the real economic and social issues that drive women into the world of stripping, prostitution and porn to begin with.
And, none of the "feminist" or "Christian" groups that are so happy by Iceland's new law, and who tirelessly attempt to pass similar laws here, actually do a damn thing about those REAL problems. They just want to be the ones who tell women what they can and can't do to make money. And, their biggest fear is that women will not be dependent on them, so they try to use the laws to force them to be.
Okay, so that isn't really where I intended this post to go, but there it is.
After all, as I have said many times, Strippers are People Too!
