These April Fools jokes are getting more clever -- the date says July 15!

Before we know it, things like eating and sex will be "the same as" doing drugs, because people enjoy it. Oh, and the same with your morning coffee.

Let's all eat bread and water, frown, reproduce via test tubes, work for the man, and vote Republican!

Well, the coffee one might be a bad example ;)
I think you misunderstand how Republicans view sex.

* It's something you don't talk about (or do) in polite company or around kids.

* It's something you don't do with someone you're not married to. (And by God you better to married to the opposite sex)

* It's implied that if you are married you must be having sex on at last a weekly schedule.

* I won't got into details but anything beyond the basics is strictly forbidden. (Candles are only allowed for mood lighting.)

:) All tongue in cheek of course.

If you're stereotyping, then you'd only be having sex to procreate, not weekly.
I think you are confusing "Republican" with "religious Christian". Believe it or not, they are not exactly the same group.
