Not that there’s much my overly-immature-self can teach to a 50-year-old grown-ass-man or anything. It’s just that I would like to know what the hell is on his rabbit-ass-mind when he did what he did to his neighbor? And more importantly, I would like to know if he has any plans of sticking to his story in defense of his actions? O course some people are into saving lives and that’s a good thing. But having sex with an unconscious woman so as to save her life? Come on, sir. You’re looking like more like Mr. Rapey McRapist than you do a Good Samaritan with this bullshit story.

This from The Salt Lake City Tribune:

A 50-year-old St. George man is in trouble after he allegedly found a female neighbor unconscious on her front porch and allegedly claimed he had sex with her to try to warm her.

Rodger William Kelly told police he inserted his penis inside the unconscious 29-year-old on May 19 because “he was trying to save her life,” according to court documents.

“He said he did place it inside of her to try and get her temperature up,” police wrote in a probable cause statement filed in 5th District Court.

Looks like 50-year-old Rodger William Kelly took that State Farm “Like a good neighbor” jingle too seriously.

Police told Kelly that his actions amounted to rape. He was charged Monday with one count of first-degree felony rape.

Kelly told officers that he found the woman passed out in front of her apartment and brought her inside his apartment, changed her clothes and put her on his bed. He said he then lay down next to her and hugged her to try to get her temperature up because she had been outside, then attempted intercourse to warm her.

When police arrived, responding to an unconscious person call, they said they found Kelly inside his apartment giving the woman CPR.

The woman later told police she thought she might have been raped and recalled being dressed in a pair of the man’s underwear and shorts. She told police she had bruising on her pelvic and upper thighs, according to court documents.

The hospital was unable to complete a rape kit because the woman’s vaginal area was cleaned while she was sedated, according to court documents.

Kelly told police that the two previously were intimate, but admitted the woman had told him before the incident that she didn’t want to have sex with him again.

Okay, so I don’t know much about Utah. Heck, for all I know it is probably fifty degrees below zero out there at this time of the year. Even so, I sincerely doubt that the insertion of a penis into a frozen and unconscious woman’s vagina is the suggested or prescribed fix for hypothermia.

I’m not a doctor, nor do I play one on television; but, of all the methods of resuscitation I doubt whether this one exists. Of course the medical books that I have read over the years are old. So, maybe this is something new that even the cops in Utah are not quite educated on just yet.

That said, I wonder what would he have done if his neighbor was a man instead of a woman. Would he have been quick on his feet as he was with his female neighbor and insert his penis into his you know what? Now do you see why I would love to have a conversation with this man?

We had a good laugh about the possibility of such an existence which seems to contradict everything about black folk and politics. I realize it’s hard to believe that there aren’t a more black folks willing to spew turds from our mouths to find favor with “certain people” who make up the Republican Party, the Tea Party, or whatever those crazy, slightly-wealthier-than-average white folks, decide to call themselves these days — yes Allen West, I’m looking at you, buddy. But lo and behold, I came across someone today that just totally blew my mind. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Congressional candidate, from the great state of Utah, Mrs. Mia Love:

Amid the crowded field of House candidates across the country in 2012, expect to hear a lot about Mia Love, a Republican who is an African American and a Mormon and who on Saturday defeated a handful of rivals to clinch the party nomination in the campaign for Utah’s fourth congressional district. Love is preparing to face incumbent Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson. Victory in November would make her the first black Republican congresswoman in history.

A Brooklyn-born Mormon convert, Love is a marathon-running mother of three and the daughter of Haitian immigrants who came to the United States with $10 in their pockets, she says. Her mother cleaned houses and worked as a nurse at a retirement home while her father worked for a painting company, toiled as a janitor at a Catholic school and drove a school bus to support their growing family.

“I am a product of that hard work,” she said in an interview with Yahoo News, “a product of the American dream.”

Love’s political career began when she was elected to the city council in the small town of Saratoga Springs, Utah, in 2004. She became mayor six years later and her House candidacy has received cash from an impressive list of Republican big wigs like House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Budget Chairman Paul Ryan and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy.

Well aware that she is unique when lined up next to most Republicans in the caucus, Love doesn’t shy away from being a poster child for her party.

“We have an opportunity to reach some of our fellow Americans that we haven’t been able to reach, ever, on the conservative side,” she told Yahoo News. “And if I can reach our fellow Americans and get them to believe what we believe–that the way that they’re going to realize the American dream is through hard work and that they can do it, then I’m happy to play that role. I’m happy to be the example.”

While talking policy, she comes across as a tax- and regulation-slashing, tea party conservative infused with a leave-us-alone libertarian streak, a hallmark of western Republicans.

“I know what the proper role of government is,” she said. “I don’t really want to know what’s going on in somebody’s backyard. It’s not my job to know what’s going on in their backyard and I try to stay out of everyone’s personal lives and their property.”

During the Republican primary, Love raised less than $120,00, falling short of three other candidates vying for the nomination. On primary day, however, she received 70 percent of the vote, walloping  state legislator (and lead fundraiser) Carl Wimmer, who had the backing of tea Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a tea party favorite.

Matheson, her new Democratic opponent with a $1.2 million war chest, could be her greatest challenger yet.

If she makes it to Washington, Love said she plans focus on opposing federal regulations–particularly those set by the Environmental Protection Agency–and will immediately join the Democrat-led Congressional Black Caucus with Florida Rep. Allen West, currently the only Republican member of the group, with hopes to “change it from the inside out.”

“I told Congressman West to hang in there, reinforcements are coming, and while I respect the ideas of some of these representatives to care for the poor in their community, I reject the notion that government dependency is the way to do it,” Love said. “I am ready to go in and change it from the inside out.” (source)

When I read the above piece, my first question was: how in the hell does the child of Haitian immigrants raised in Brooklyn wind up in Utah? But then I realized that I’m the son of West Indian immigrants from Trinidad & Tobago, and that I’ve been getting the very same question for the last twenty five years myself. Yep, I get the the, “Why do you talk funny, and how did you wind up in Memphis,” question all the time. But even so, I’m still shocked that she has surfaced in Utah.

I am because for a long time I didn’t know there were black folks in Utah other than the players on the NBA’s Utah Jazz, and Gary Coleman. But once again, I’m proven wrong; and this time, by a female Black Republican Congressional candidate from Utah with a name that sounds like it could be mentioned as the feature act at a local strip club. OK, so that sounded kinda sexist, but if you say her name with that perverted strip club DJ voice, it really isn’t once you do it.

That aside, Mia Love could possibly be the next GOP rags to riches story; she’s like Sarah Palin, but a lot more intelligent. Not that I expect her to be on anyone’s GOP presidential ticket any time soon. But don’t be surprised if she is in the future once her stock rises, providing that she wins:

As a child of Caribbean immigrants myself, just like Mrs. Love, I would be interested in hearing her thoughts on immigration reform. I wonder what are her views on Haitian immigrants seeking asylum here in the US, and just how the broken system slows their attempts to live the American dream she touts in the following campaign ad. According to her website love4utah.com, her stance on immigration, or more specifically “illegal immigration” as it says is pretty typical: Protect our borders and remove the magnets.  Only after we have plugged the hole in the boat can we begin to deal with the water in it. No word on whether she supports comprehensive immigration reform, or even a guest worker program much like the one recently passed in Utah that was subsequently struck down by the Feds.  Nope, just more of the same right-wing immigration talking points that ignores the fact that illegal immigration from Mexico has declined sharply since 2005 according to a Pew study.

I must say that though we may differ when it comes to political ideology and philosophical debate. I am however encouraged to see a black woman running for office in a district that is indeed predominantly made up of people of un-color. Truth is, we need more women in government, and we can never have too many people of color in government. That is, unless they’re not willing to focus on the needs of we the people; in particular, the lives of women and minorities.

Best of luck to you, Mrs. Ludmya “Mia” Bourdeau-Love!
