Use of "Tea Bagging" Term Has Unintended Implications

Are Liberals Encouraging Pedophiles with their "Tea-Bagger" Epithet? You Decide.

Reader Beware! This article is for adults only. It’s not for the timid, squeamish or otherwise easily offended reader either. It contains explicit, graphic sexual descriptions. Any reader who objects to such subjects in the public forum should send a special note of complaint to mainstream media outlets and liberal politicians, as they are responsible for making this discussion absolutely necessary for the protection of our children.

Public commentators with huge, primetime audiences now use the phrase, "tea-bagging," with utter impunity. Formerly respectable newspapers print columns by liberals using the phrase with perverse humor. NPR has even used donor dollars to produce a video making fun of the language of "tea bag." The president of the United States has had the unrivaled depravity to joke about "tea-bagging" protesters. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has called political adversaries by the epithet.

Some conservatives have suggested adopting the phrase and turning it on political opponents.

I wonder whether any of these adults have considered a far uglier ramification.

Using sexual innuendo and double entendres is very tricky, quite risky business. And all grown-ups ought to know that anything sexual, which has been done between adults, has also been done to children.

Pedophilia has become nearly downright epidemic in this culture. We are living in a society saturated by unbridled sex. A new generation of pedophiles is now ginning up and getting all possible encouragement by a media and body politic drunk with power.

If so-called decent people and organizations wish to continue using the phrase, "tea-bagging," in formerly respectable public forums, then they ought to know exactly what they are doing and how much grievous damage it is causing to those of us who have actually been "tea-bagged" by our pedophilic tormenters. And how much damage they may be doing — at this very minute — to children being "tea-bagged" by sexual predators in the present.

You see, "tea-bagging" is the pedophile’s very best friend and ally. I know this because it was used against me. I’ve studied the issue of childhood sexual abuse and know that this vile deed against children is not as uncommon as some believe. In fact, according to the most recent findings, about one in every four American women was sexually abused in some fashion as a child. About one in five American men were as well. Few of us talk about it openly; I’m sure you can understand why.

Now, let’s examine "tea-bagging," which has become the liberal punditry’s favorite insult against conservatives. Are they, in reality, encouraging pedophiles?

For those, who still remain blissfully unaware, "tea-bagging" is the homosexual slang for a man placing his scrotum in the mouth of another man. It's meant to demonstrate domination and has sadomasochistic overtones. Perhaps the term itself did originate among adult homosexual males, but the act is, in reality, the pedophile's diabolical delight.

Writing as one who was, as a child, repeatedly "tea-bagged" by a bisexual pedophile, I can honestly say that every time I read or hear the expression, I still - to this very day - tremble with fear and self-loathing.

"Tea-Bagging" is scathingly brilliant in its tri-fold purpose.

First, the act defiles natural human sexuality and removes the beauty with which God imbued it.

Second, the act renders the victim immediately silent. The victim's best defense against a sexual predator is speaking the truth to alert other adults. The simpleminded act of "tea-bagging" quite reliably squelches a child's screaming and calls for help. The victim's only ally is her mouth; "tea-bagging" is the pedophile's perfect solution to this thorny problem.

Third, the act of "tea-bagging" has the rather remarkable effect of rendering the child victim immediately submissive. First, there is the physical size differential. The large, adult male scrotum in the delicate, small child's mouth (and usually, covering the nose as well) gives the immediate impression to the child that she is being smothered. The torment and defilement of the act, perpetrated upon an innocent child, veritably ensures that the child will remain acquiescent to the predator's future actions.

And there you have it. This is hardly the stuff of jokes.

The pedophile uses "tea-bagging" to bring another innocent to the dark side, her only defense - her voice - silenced in shame.

Shame.

It stalks its victims for their whole lives. No matter where we go or what we do or how much we accomplish, the memory of defilement by the tormentor's "tea-bag" never leaves. These memories are recorded, along with the trauma, in the senses and remain entrenched. The shame seems nearly imbedded in the cells, as though it has become part and parcel of one's soul, not to be completely extinguished until one's passing from this life.Shame on our Country for allowing this kind of perversity to enter the public forum. Shame on every enabler of this evil, whether on the public airwaves or in print media. Every decent American ought to be fiercely outraged by this blatant encouragement to pedophile perpetrators.

You see, the pedophile plays adroit mind games with his victim, always attempting to persuade him or her that these acts are not only acceptable, but fun. Victims, both former and present, are now being doubly abused by this public spectacle.

Nightmares. Flashbacks. Difficulty eating. Difficulty speaking. Self-imposed solitude, the result of our everlasting fear of people. These are just some of the milder, most personal trappings of adult life for the survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

For the little child victims, who now - at this very minute — are being subjected to the torture of "tea-bagging" by sexual predators, I can only pray and weep. And speak out on their behalf.

As so-called adults continue to joke about these children's agonizing torment on television, these young victims are being doubly abused - now. Just imagine the anguished confusion of an eight year old victim of a sexual predator, who accesses Urban Dictionary, identifies with the secret deed, then hears commentators joking about it on TV. The child understands it is no joke, but looks to adults for clarification and understanding. When adults joke about this kind of torment, the resulting confusion in the child sows seeds for later mental breakdowns, drug abuse, life-threatening promiscuity, suicidal thinking and acts, sexual criminal activity. And on and on the list goes.

Children are being victimized every day under our very noses.

Right here. Right now. Perhaps even behind the closed doors of the lovely home next door. Pedophiles are found in every race, creed and socio-economic group. They cross all boundaries and are often those whom one would least suspect of the heinous crime. A teacher. A priest or minister. A father. A scout leader. A neighbor. An uncle. A brother. A coach. A TV personality or movie star. Pedophiles thrive in darkness and prey on the most vulnerable among us, our precious children.

Sadly, some children who are thusly defiled, grow up to identify with their abusers. Some of the very people making the most fun with this sexual slang were quite likely child victims, who now attempt to hide their shame in either joking about it or actually perpetrating the crime on a new generation. There is no way to know for sure. Only about 3% of those who commit sexual offenses are reported and eventually convicted. It is a crime that thrives in secrecy. And pedophiles always know that these odds are on their side, not their victim's side.

At the very, very least, these liberal enablers must be apprised of the true extent of grievous injury they have brought - and continue to bring — to scores of victims through their adolescent insensitivity. And no conservative ought to even consider adopting the phrase, for in truth, its use defiles not the intended butt of the joke, but the perpetrator.

Anyone who thinks "tea-bagging" is a cute joke, needs to think twice. Anyone who thinks calling his political foes "tea-baggers" is funny, might want to reconsider.

For, in reality, pedophilia is no laughing matter.
