Larry Craig has been a good conservative for most of his political
career. Unfortunately, this week's revelations that he apparently
solicited a homosexual sexual encounter with a policeman in the
Minneapolis Airport earlier this summer, and that he may have engaged
in other similar sordid acts, have shot his credibility to shreds and he
should resign to save the Senate, the people of Idaho, and the
conservative movement from further damage and embarrassment.
What's especially troubling , besides the hypocrisy of supporting
conservative morals and policies than engaging in immoral behavior, is the report
that he sought to play up his status as a Senator when he was arrested
by the Minneapolis airport police officer. Why do so many
politically prominent figures think they are immune from legal or moral
accountability? The recent arrest of House Veterans Affairs
Committee chair Rep. Bob Filner, a San Diego Democrat, over an incident
at the Dulles Airport luggage claim area, is another reflection
of the politicians gone wild mentality that is responsible for
legislators having such low public approval ratings.
Craig needs to own up to the fact that he has a problem with
homosexuality and seek requisite religious and psychological
counseling. (Assuming there are still psychologists that still
believe homosexually is morally aberrant behavior that can be
corrected). His case illustrates the dangerous pervasive spread
of this perversion in our culture. Someone should be able to
use a bathroom in a public place without having to worry that a
lecherous pervert wants to make a move on them while they are heeding
nature's call. Conservatives need to point out the destructive
results of homosexual behavior no matter how much Barney Frank and
other political and media apologists for gay rights howl. Our
country is asking for serious trouble if we allow such perversion to persist and continue to believe that sexual activity
outside of heterosexual marriage is acceptable.
