There ya go lying again. About "posing naked".

Yes, "courage of their convictiosn" means they stand up for what they believe is right even despite their own shortcomings.

Not like liberal Wanda who shut her mouf cause her massa don't wanta hear about no gay stuff.

Hef’s last boundary by Stephen Reed

Years ago in a religious studies class, a professor of mine--no prude, he--told us a startling remark by Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner to keep us on our toes. My professor referenced an early interview Hefner gave after he launched Playboy, in which the pajama-clad Casanova said airily, "Incest is the last boundary we need to cross."

So much for harmless soft porn, eh?

Well, as Hefner has been busy crowning the 50th Playboy Playmate, his famous publication is legitimizing at least conversation on such taboo subjects. Shia LeBeouf, a rising young actor, said in a recent interview that he found his mother so sexually attractive that if she wasn't his mother, he'd want to be with her that way.

While breaking through the last remaining cultural and ethical barricades makes some young Hollywood members feel liberated, there's a reason such barricades are up, of course. For one thing, they separate us from the animals. But, like Phil Donahue and others, Hef no doubt sees us as merely human animals, with no soul to protect and value in ourselves or others.

"Really, an outspoken Christian who poses naked for money, an unwed teen mother who preaches abstinence, thrice married politicians talking family values and defense of marriage, these to you are people with the courage of their convictions?"

It's all they've got. Anyone with any REAL moral authority left the (R) party long ago.
