Meghan McCain just can’t get sex off her brain.

Meghan McCain is, apparently, obsessed with sex and homosexuality:

Meghan McCain again took aim at some leaders of her party Monday night, declaring the GOP is currently being hijacked by those trying “to make it more extreme.”

In an interview on The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, the outspoken daughter of Arizona Sen. John McCain said the party needs to broaden its message as it struggles to regain power in the halls of Congress and eventually the White House.

“I do believe the Republican Party can be a safe place for the gay community,” McCain said in the at-times lighthearted interview. “President Obama said that he was going to repeal ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’ and I think me and a lot of other people are still waiting on that and the Democratic Party isn’t necessarily a better place for the gay community than the Republican Party is.

McCain’s statements come only hours before Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steeele is set to tell party leaders during a speech in Washington that the GOP should focus on conservative principles and that, “The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over.”

But during the interview with the faux-conservative Colbert, McCain suggested the party’s mantra of limited government does not conflict with more socially moderate principles.

“If you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party of keeping government out of your life, why can’t that include marriage?” she said.

McCain also criticized the recent push from Bristol Palin — the 17-year-old daughter of former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin who gave birth last year to a baby boy — to promote abstinence among teenagers, calling it “not realistic for this generation.

“I think we need to have sex education with condoms, birth control and etc, etc.,” McCain said. “I think that if the Republican Party says abstinence only is the only way to be then we’re going to lose a lot of young voters and I think I wouldn’t want to practice anything I didn’t preach.”

“It can be a party for a 24 year-old pro-sex woman. It can be,” McCain also said.

I barely know where to start with this one, which is often the case when it comes to comments written or made by Miss McCain. I guess I’ll start with how she thinks the Republican Party can be a safe place for the gay community. Is it not a safe place for them, now? Contrary to popular propaganda, which McCain is furthering with this statement, Republicans don’t hate gays. There are legitimate reasons to oppose gays openly serving in the military and there are legitimate reasons for opposing gay marriage. I’m not weighing in on the issue, I’m just saying that this opposition cannot be shut out by being labeled hate mongers.

It amuses me that Colbert is labeled a “faux-conservative” while McCain is accepted as a real one. I wish the press would stop referring to the Republican Party as “her party.” I’m not even a Republican and I am offended by this. If I ran around calling myself a Democrat and giving Democrats advice on how to win elections–let’s say I told them they should take a strong stand against gay-”marriage” and advocate abstinence only education in the public school system–I don’t believe the press would be willing to call me a Democrat even if that’s how I self-identified. They only let her get away with calling herself a Republican and claiming that as her party because everything she advocates is in line with the Democrat’s ideology.

Why are conservative ideals always labeled as extreme? Wanting to save an unborn child is extreme, while supporting the taking of that life up until the point it is being torn away from it’s mother’s womb and stabbed in the back of the head to have its brains sucked out isn’t. Wanting to preserve marriage as between a man and a woman is extreme, while wanting to radically change the definition of marriage isn’t. Wanting to keep children pure and teach them abstinence is extreme, but handing out birth control isn’t. I expect this kind of labeling from the left, but Meghan openly labels members of her supposed party as extremists. I’m more loyal to the Republican Party than she is.

Why is this chick picking a fight with Bristol Palin? What, is she jealous that Palin had a baby and still has a better body than her? If Palin, who as a single teenage mother knows better than McCain of why abstinence only education might be the best approach, wants to tour around the country promoting abstinence, what’s McCain’s problem with that? Look, if McCain wants to be “pro-sex,” which I would argue most conservatives are pro-sex–I don’t see too many liberals with six plus kids–then go ahead and promote the slutification of America. Let Bristol make her arguments and you can make yours.

I don’t think that promoting abstinence to this generation is unrealistic. There may be plenty of children having sex, but there are plenty of others who are waiting. Don’t project your own personal choices onto an entire generation. Not every teenager is out there sexxing it up. What you choose to do is your business, but get over yourself. How presumptuous can you be to think that your choices and experiences are representative of your whole generation? It’s well past time for someone to break the news to you that you aren’t that special. From what I can tell (based on your writing and what you have said in interviews), I think they concentrated a bit too much on boosting your self-esteem and not enough on the fundamentals of a good education.

As for keeping government out of our lives, your argument seems a tad disingenuous when you selectively apply it to one issue and not the other. When it comes to gay-”marriage” you call on your Republican ideology and argue that the government should stay out of the issue, but when it comes to children and sex you are arguing for sex education, which would presumably be funded by the government, to include condoms and birth control. If you are truly a Republican who is against government intervention and you don’t want them interfering in our sex lives when it comes to homosexuality, then why do you want them meddling in our children’s lives by promoting sex through the distribution of condoms and birth control while infringing on parental rights to educate their children as they see fit concerning sexual education? This seems logically inconsistent to me. Not that I’m surprised when it’s coming from you.

Meghan McCain should really close her legs shut her mouth. Every time she writes something or is interviewed her ignorance of the party she claims as her own is put on display under a spotlight. She’s so painful to watch I’m almost embarrassed for her. I just don’t get why she doesn’t change her party identification. I mean, other than the obvious: no one would care what she had to say if she was a Democrat! They only like her because she’s a Republican on call ready to bash Republicans for a chance at five more seconds of fame. If her father really wanted to help his party he would shut this child up.
