I’m reading him right, right? This is what he said—in essence, that birth control, provided by people who think women can’t control their libidos, makes women “helpless.” It’s the culture of dependency again, but this time transferred from the ghetto to the uterus. The Democrats, I guess, want women to go out and have unrestrained sex, so Democrats can then go out and destroy America by distributing these sinful contraceptive devices. So women, you see, are not human beings with agency and volition about their sexuality in Huckabee Land. They’re nothing more than the cat’s paws of the godless, baby-killing Democrats, who want to keep them on the Democratic plantation. The Pill, the welfare check, the Earned Income Tax Credit—all the work of
Satan, propagated by the party of Satan.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1875em; vertical-align: baseline; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6;">As with <khlink class="khlinks" lang="en" href="http://curiyo.com/en/topic/Todd Akin" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; cursor: help; display: inline !important; float: none !important; padding: 0px !important; margin: 0px !important; border-bottom-color: rgb(61, 188, 220) !important;">Todd Akin</khlink> and other recent Republican men who’ve been such marvelous spokesmen for the female side, it’s just hard to believe that this offensive gibberish even came out of his mouth.

The man is trying to ban abortion in the state of Ohio, and he’s never thought about why a woman might want one. Certainly he’d never actually asked a woman. That, I think, is what makes these right-wing men say these deranged things. They either never discuss these matters with women, or they discuss them only with
women who are as right-wing and moralistic as they are and who don’t just speak as a normal, apolitical woman with the normal level of sexual desire and activity would. So they haven’t the slightest idea what regular women think, nor the slightest interest in it. That’s just incuriosity. But it’s an incuriosity that produces ignorance and intolerance, which is what the GOP specializes in these days.</div><div class="adsense-container" data-sensitivity="800" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; margin: 9px 31px 9px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; float: left; clear: left; width: 235px; height: 350px; background-color: rgb(246, 245, 240); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><div class="adsense-inner"

He has no idea what he’s talking about. They weren’t interested in “healing” anything. Quite the contrary, they started the revolution that split the country in two, the two sides that are still doing battle, and Huckabee sure ain’t on their side. Reactionary fundamentalists of Huckabee’s ilk despised
The Beatles in 1964, and The Beatles—authority-haters and atheists one and all (except for George later, but that was very different), and Lord knows great believers in the powers of contraception—would have despised him. Besides which, they already had a pretty good bassist, Bub.</div><div style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: 0px; margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; border: 0px; font-size: 1.1875em; vertical-align: baseline; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.6;">His rewriting of Beatles history is a minor transgression but it’s of a piece. These people live in a morally simplistic fantasy land that’s impervious to facts and to the very real complexities of life.
