Red State pick for RNC chair, Ken Blackwell:

If in fact you would feel better for me to say to you that, one, I believe homosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed, and that makes you feel better, then that is what I’m saying in the clearest of terms.

Presumably, there will at some point be a web poll in which I can vote for Ken Blackwell as RNC chair. When that day comes, I and the rest of the Red State Strike Force will be ready to rain down on Katon Dawson and “Chip” Saltsman like a bolt of lightning followed by sudden thundershowers.

    I think RedState has this guy confused with "Mr. Blackwell", the clothing critic of the celeb crowd. But that "Blackwell" died a little while back, although that doesn’t mean he couldn’t still be a swell-dandy head of the RNC. After all, functioning brain-matter doesn’t seem to be a pressing requirement.

    You have to admit, Mr. Blackwell did a splendid job of restraining his urges during those Oscar shows.

    I personally think they should go with Chris Blackwell, the founder of Island Records. SO much good music…

    Doug, can you get a tour jacket with that insignia on it? At least you know no one would want to steal it.

    Ah, the Strike Force. And what are they containing TEH GAY in? And how is Mr. Blackwell helping? These are urgent questions that RedState needs to get back to us on.

    "heterosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed"- just ask a catholic priest.

    For someone trying to speak in the clearest of terms, that was a fucking convoluted sentence…

    "blackness is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed"- just ask Jim Crow.

    "Jewness is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed"- just ask Adolph Hitler.

    I believe homosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed…

    Well, that is true…but so is heterosexuality.

    …and that makes you feel better

    Is this saying that repressing homosexuality makes you feel better? Geez, those hippie Republicans, always worried about what feels good instead of what is good. :P

    heterosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed

    All sexuality is a biological compulsion that can be controlled.

    I just don’t particularly trust or think that the government is the best moral agent to be the controller of all of our individual biological impulses.

    Chris Blackwell’s Island Records put out Nick Drake’s "Northern Sky". A truly gorgeous piece of music. If I recall the story correctly, John Cale was slumming in London at the time, and between heroin jags did the wonderful organ on that track. One of the most beautiful songs ever.

    That’s funny. He’s also my pick for RNC chair.

    Having lived in Ohio for over two decades at this point, I have witnessed exactly how competent an administrator Ken Blackwell can be. And I see exactly how he left Ohio when his route through our elected offices was mercifully terminated by the voters in ’06.

    If he can do for the RNC what he did for Ohio, he’d be exactly the guy I’d want helming the current GOP operation.

    DougJ,

    I just wanted to thank you for your service to this country. You and the other Red State Strike Force are the thin red line keeping out the hords of Obamislamocommunazism.

    God Bless you my son. God Bles you.

    Agreed. It was our first dance song at our wedding. The problem is that we can’t listen to it anymore because we both get all sappy and moon-eyed and maudlin if we hear it.

    @NonyNony:

    Replying to myself, it appears that the Ohio GOP disagrees with both me and Red State about Ken Blackwell being the obvious choice for RNC chair. The head of the Ohio GOP has endorsed Mike Duncan over Ken Blackwell for the position. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has witnessed just how awesome Blackwell’s administrative and interpersonal skills are, or to anyone who expects the GOP to put someone useful into that role. But still, sad for me because I have high hopes of being able to watch Blackwell drive the crazybus that is the modern GOP.

    Personally I would like to see some suggestions and plans for how we can assist Mr. Blackwell in his quest for the RNC Chair, something besides online polls. I suggest that everyone start writing op-ed pages. Maybe there is a phone bank that we can help man? Whose leg do we have to hump to make this happen?

    Jon Stewart set the standard comeback for stupid "gay is a choice" closeted fuckheads when he asked Huckabee "When did you decide to not be gay?"

    It should always be followed with "Well, unlike you, I didn’t have to make a conscious choice to not be gay" to really get their fucking goats.

    That’s why they favor wetsuits and ligatures.

    Contain. Contain. Must Contain. Constrict and bind and repress. Bind and repress and..whoops! How’d that dildo manage to pop outta there?

    Whew, good thing it wasn’t a real cock. That might indicate a compulsion.
