Obama: "Sexuality Is Sacred"

 

During the debate's discussion on abortion and teenage sex, Obama seemed to have launched some sort of mysterious abortion rights cruise missile that just flew under the radar: "Sexuality is Sacred."

I have never heard that phrase in my life, but apparently it's a huge hit with the lib chick bloggers. Why? Engaging Google-Fu...

UPDATE: Alright, apparently "sexuality is sacred" is not some N.O.W. cliche as I suspected. Rather, it has not only been adopted by the Democrat candidate for President, but a full spectrum of diverse --- and totally bowwwn-chicka-bowowwwn freaky-naughty--- sexual adventurers.

For instance, the Wiccans:

But Wicca says that this sacred, transformational act...is sacred, as long as there is love. It is sacred when a couple in love unite their bodies with intent to make a baby. And it is equally as sacred when there’s birth control involved, when the sex cannot result in reproduction, when it’s two men or two women, or when the first kiss is not to her lips but to her booted foot. Where there is love, be it the deep connection of marriage or the affection and respect of friendship, then there is a sacred union. Where there is caring, where there is respect, where there is sharing of more than just the physical....in this act we worship without words, but in action. As each person is an aspect of the gods, whether male or female, our sexuality is sacred, however we manifest it.

Foot fetishes, Obama? HOT.

Or how about the Tantric Massage Therapists:

Goddess Temple is committed to bringing back a world nourished by the truth, that sexuality is sacred and our survival is dependent on the education and embracing of who we truly are as spiritual, heart based beings. Our life force or sexual energy can be healing, creative, beneficial to health and happiness. Sex is holy, sacred and divine.

Or perhaps the total freakfest Satsang:

We are told that orgasm is the most important goal, that you need to learn the appropriate techniques in order to satisfy your partner, that sex is all about excitement, results and personal satisfaction. Friction sex, we could call it, the rubbing together of two bodies for the pleasure of the separate ego. Sexuality is sacred when it becomes the making of love from Stillness.

Or Shamans:

Most people have never heard the term Spiritual Sexuality. It is a foreign concept to them. As there is a division between government and church, so have churches created the division between sexuality and spirituality. When given half a chance, an individual has an innate knowing in their soul that sexuality is sacred.

And Druids and Pagans:

The Queen of Heaven, Mother of All, Creatrix of the Universe, was worshipped and celebrated for tens of thousands of years as the primary deity. Sex was a joy and a celebration in antiquity and people loved life, taking great enjoyment from nature and from sexuality. Sexuality is sacred in its most natural form when it contains the whole mystery of life. Opening our body to its full pleasure potential requires embracing the different parts of ourselves that have been fragmented so we can feel whole again.

So my key takeaway from the debate?

UPDATE: Thanks, Ace. Of course this is all jokey-ha-ha on my part; if you're a horndog Catholic who totally gets the "sexuality is sacred" thang, go for it, baby --- marriage certainly could use some Church-encouraged spice every now and then. Just lick the boot first.

To finish the Obama quote:

"..they should not be engaged in Cavalier activity."

My question is, why does Obama hate the University of Virginia?

Did you know that you can practice a sacred act for $50 on the streets of NYC?

That's what I heard.

Less than that, if you're not too fussy about the quality of your sacred-ness.

My guess is that he was hoping that the phrase would help him poll well with Catholics.

It's $20 bucks behind a dumpster in Chicago!

$20? That's what you get when stupid union work rules prevent competition in the marketplace.

I am surprised that the Obamunist had to pander to the San Francisco crowd. Doesn't he have the vote in the bag out here?

You gotta wonder if Obama's Commie mentor, "Uncle Frank", taught Obama that one while passing around jelly jars full of whiskey.

(I dropped the following in the comments at Ace's & thought it'd give some additional context to this post)

Just so we're clear, I'm digging all of this sacred sex talk. I'm not a religious guy (pagan, Catholic or otherwise), so this is all very enlightening. And hot.

I just never expected that unfamiliar (to me) phrase to slide so easily into a Presidential Debate topic about teenage sex.

Half-attentive with a few beers, my first reaction was "holy crap, Obama thinks the unbridled sexuality of promiscuous teenagers is sacrosanct!" Combine that with his infamous Illinois sex-ed bill and you can see how I thought he had just stepped in it, big time.

Oh well. It still gave this political junkie a brief, sacred boner.

[Josh Miller]

As a Catholic (and a theologian), the term "sex is sacred" has meaning. But the term "sexuality is sacred" means absolutely nothing, because we're referring to a proclivity rather than the act itself.

In other words: wind up and try again, 'bama.

"My guess is that he was hoping that the phrase would help him poll well with Catholics."

I'm Catholic and just thought it was really creepy and weird when he said that.

And how about, "Who the f- are you to tell us what's sacred?" Our new high priest?
