Then Mr. Bush Was a Serial Offender

The individual with the pen name of "Robin of Berkeley" is a frequent contributor to the conservative web site American Thinker and, in her words, "a recovering liberal and psychotherapist" as well. With articles titled "Sarah Palin Is One Tough Mother" and "Obama the Repo Man", this writer's allegiance is certainly without question. And while she definitely has the freedom to voice her opinions, the most recent article went way too far. That article, "The Rape of America", actually compares being raped to the actions of President Obama and the Democrats:

• "Let's start by analyzing the mind of a rapist. His goal: Domination and absolute power, through any means necessary. His motivation: punishing another, degrading her, feeling superior and godlike. Making her feel like an object, nothing, a no-thing. What else propels him? Taking what he wants just because he wants it. Feeling the surge of power, the adrenaline rush, the thrill of stealing a piece of her. Anything else? Feeding primitive, twisted impulses; expressing sadistic needs; the savage excitement of subjugating and controlling another."

If you think those comments were offensive, "Robin of Berkeley" didn't stop there:

• "And the aftermath of rape? The destruction of something in the victim that will never return: a feeling of safety in the world, in her own body. The nightmare of being treated as an animal -- no, worse than this since animals are now venerated. And from this nightmare, she may never completely awaken."
• "This country is being raped."
• "And just like in a gang rape, people who could have done something about it didn't. In fact, the liberal media and many Democrats have stood around watching, egging on the players. Can someone explain to me how the Democrats' complicity is any different from what happened a few months ago at Richmond High School? There, a gang of boys raped and beat a girl as a crowd not only snickered but filmed the assault."
• "We also have the economic rapes, the constant shrieks of 'Gimme, gimme'. Give me what you have because I want it. Whether it's the iPod torn from your ear, or a big chunk of your income, or your standard of living, no matter. I want it, I demand it, give it to me. Or the intrusions into our very bodies by Obamacare's biggest of Big Brothers. Our medical records, our personal information, our physician/patient relationship, our DNA -- they want it so they will take it from us."
• "And now that the left has finally appropriated our health care and our student loans, our banks and newspapers and automobile companies, are they happy? Satisfied? Grateful, for God's sake? No, the mocking continues, the outright threats and the violence escalate."
• "Still not sure that the sexualization of children, the wilding of women, the looting of the economy and the intrusions into our bodies constitute the rape of America? I have one final piece of evidence. A majority of citizens are shouting 'No' from the rooftops. No to Obamacare. No to socialism. No to trashing the Constitution. And yet, to Obama and the left, the assertion of 'No' does not matter. Smug and entitled, drunk with power and giddy when they see our fear, they take what they want anyway."
