It must be all that cognitive dissonance that bible thumpers have to deal with. They are always feeling so guilty about natural feelings that they have to let it all "come out" through the internet.

Sex With Animals: Will
Sex With Animals: Will Florida Republicans Outlaw Bestiality This Year? Bruce Seaman Bruce Seaman Marion County Democrats Examiner
Seriously. One of the most amazing features of Florida legislative sessions since 2008 has been the inability of the Republican-dominated House and Senate to pass a law sponsored each year by Democratic Sen. Nan Rich of Weston. The 2011 session may actually be ready to pass a law making bestiality illegal, something it has been unable to do in three previous sessions.
The legislation was proposed after a suspect accidentally strangled a goat named Meg during intercourse. When Sen. Nan Rich heard of the “disgusting” case, she tried to ban sex with animals, but always had trouble in the House.
Knowing that corporate interests are pulling virtually every lever in both legislative chambers, one has to wonder what corporate interests are at stake if bestiality gets outlawed. As shown below, this can become a very complicated issue … if you’re a mindless ideologue. Advertisement
It may be that because the legislation is sponsored by a Democrat, the measure should not see the light of day. Ah, politics.
Perhaps the bestiality pornography industry has its own lobbyist, or maybe the porky pornos financially support heavyweight legislative quarterbacks Associated Industries or the Florida Chamber of Commerce whose army of lobbyists are working against this legislation.
With an ideology that finds government regulation heinous, perhaps it has been decided that bestiality should not be prohibited. Better to allow bestiality than have government interfering in the private lives of farmers and their cattle. (Related: see anti-farm photography law; maybe this is what Sen. Norman fears photographing….)
There may be property rights issues involved. If Farmer Randy owns sheep, then it is his sheep – mere property, right? How can you prohibit Farmer Randy’s sex romping with his sheep when he has the legal right to kill the sheep and eat it? What could be next – outlawing sex with a fence post?
Incredibly, this property angle makes some logical sense, unless Farmer Randy is really bad in the sack in which case his intercourse could be seen as “animal cruelty.” But who is going to decide about Farmer Randy’s performance? What if Farmer Randy is truly a calamity at sex; does his wife get to claim damages for herself? Surely she should have the legal remedies of a sheep, right? This would be known by the new legal principle “intercourse recourse” … of course. This could have far reaching consequences beyond agriculture.
The legal matter becomes further complicated when an animal expresses its rejection of Farmer Randy’s sexual advances by causing significant injury or Farmer Randy’s death. No longer will the explanation at the ER suffice, “Danged sheep kicked me in the jewels,” or “My husband was trampled to death and the animals kicked his pants off.” With an anti-bestiality law, such instances may require an investigation.
Yes, this is all pretty disgusting as Sen. Rich says. It’s offensive. It’s disgusting. It’s abominable.
However, one would rightly say that penalizing the poor, the sick, the children, the working families, the middle class, the unemployed and the fragile environment we all share, while giving new handouts to corporate interests and protecting those businesses and the wealthy with tax loopholes and exemptions and special favors is just as offensive, disgusting and abominable.
If you’re expecting ethics and values from Republicans in 2011, the anti-bestiality law doesn’t stand a chance … again.
Excuse me while I wretch.

So republicans have a problem with gay marriage....but not bestiality. WOW!!

James, notice there aren't a lot of republicans on here to address this? They're too busy looking up porn or worse, engaging in the incest or bestiality sex acts.
It is also a known fact that
It is also a known fact that many of the people who live in FL moved down there from the north. If I didn't know any better, I would say the person that wrote this article use to write for the New York Trash.
Your comment makes no sense.
Your comment makes no sense. What's your "snow bird" excuse for Texas and Mississippi and the rest of the southern confederate states? You conveniently left out the other states. Why?
What are you saying? The
What are you saying? The article isn't true? That those states are not the "bible belt" and generally vote conservatively? Or perhaps only "liberal" voters move to Florida? Having lived in both Boca Raton and Panama City, I can assure you that most of the people moving there are retired and are conservatives.
Maybe what you're saying is that the rest of the states mentioned in the article are not as represented? I'm sure Texas is far more liberal than it appears and that 100% of the people there searching for gay porn are the damned left-wing commies.
Yes, a sarcasm font is needed here.
So it isn't a coincidence
So it isn't a coincidence that ALL of the states that rank highest are also "bible belt" states?
I have to wonder what all those right wingers are doing Googling porn sites for.
Am I the only one that noticed that little detail?
The insanity principle is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results. The far right, the far left, vegans, creationists and other extremists believe in the insanity principle, religiously.

It doesn't surprise me in the least.
Throughout history, the ones proclaiming chastity and "family values" have been the ones always caught in violation of those rules that they wanted to enforce on others.
Most recently, the "family values" candidate, Newt Gingrich, who was a serial philanderer, or how about that televangelist back in the 80's that professed family values while cheating on his wife with Jessica Hahn, Pat Robertson who LIED to get extra donations or "God will call me home" (which never ended up happening, more's the pity), or how about the WBC and DWOC, who professes "family values" while simultaneously spreading hate and intolerance.
Last time I checked, hate, lies and hypocrisy are not family values, or very Christian ones (at least according to the teachings of the Christ myth).
It seems to me that if Christians want to claim their piety, then they should act in accordance with the teachings of the Jesus myth and not twist it to whatever they want in order to suit their purposes.
I know that us Wiccans would call that "integrity", or in the above cases, a lack of integrity.
