Destroying human dignity one pop tune at a time

Destroying human dignity one pop tune at a time

Here's Kathryn Jean Lopez on those whores Michelle Obama and Beyonce. As Tbogg would say, "bless her heart":
I don’t want to linger on this, but last night’s Super Bowl half-time show was ridiculous — and gratuitously so. Watching Twitter, it was really no surprise that men made comments about stripper poles and putting dollar bills through their TV sets, was it? 
Why can’t we have a national entertainment moment that does not include a mother gyrating in a black teddy? 
The priceless moment was Destiny’s Child reuniting to ask that someone “put a ring on it.” As I mentioned on Twitter last night, perhaps that case might be best made in another outfit, perhaps without the crotch grabbing. 
It seems quite disappointing that Michelle Obama would feel the need to tweet about how “proud” she is of Beyoncé. The woman is talented, has a beautiful voice, and could be a role model. And she is on some levels — on others she is an example of cultural surrender, rather than leadership. 
When I saw the first lady’s tweet, I couldn’t help but think of the president talking about abortion in terms of his daughters’ freedom. I so want the Obamas to be leaders on building a culture of marriage and fatherhood and human dignity. Their actions seem to be telling me to get over my delusion.

Right. By praising a singer on twitter and talking about their daughters' freedom, that longtime happily married couple with two lovely children are personally destroying marriage, fatherhood and personal dignity. What could be more obvious?

Still, if Kathryn Lopez is offended by Beyonce and Destiny's Child telling prospective beaus they'd "better put a ring on it," I can only imagine what she must she think of this horrible mother of four?


Yes I know, Loretta Lynn is just another urban coastal elite destroying the very foundation of American morality with her slutty songs. Since 1975. Waddaya gonna do?
