Think about it people, what kind of sick mind mandates such a thing? What kind of spineless people, let alone parents of children don’t stand up and stop it?

What has happened to us?

Only a few years ago we would have almost had pity on someone who even suggested such a ridiculous idea, that is before we called him a warped, brainless, pervert and either ignored him, jailed him our put him away in an asslyum.

I saw the argument, on one of the CNN shows playing in a public space yesterday, being had about the player who held up his arm and pointed up after making a touchdown. The fool from ACLU or some damn place was arguing the boy was praying or drawing attention to himself. That is what high school football players have done for ages after making a touchdown or something else significant that they are proud of and have right to be so. We called it showboating and it usually stopped because the person was ostracized and not a team player. Being a team player has always been important but we have always allowed some pride of accomplishment and self-expression. If we didn’t like it, we ignored it as foolish. Why aren’t people who argue against this just dismissed as stupid? Can’t we just ignore them?

The muzzie call to prayer offends me. I want them to be made to stop. It is noisy and irritating and invades my privacy. I don’t want to hear that blather five times a day. Mosque towers also offend me and make me uncomfortable by blocking my view of the sky and as symbols of a an offensive set of beliefs. I want them all torn down. Head scarves and burkas also make me very nervous so I want them banned as well. If people want to live like that they need to go where the majority of the people share their belief.

Guiness is taking the isinglass filters out of their nearly 200 year-old beer making process becasue the vegans are protesting that the fish bladder the filter is made from might get in the beer? Are there that many vegans that drink Guiness that it is a threat to the market? Do the vegans have that many supporters who would give up their beer for more than a week? I doubt it. So why did Guiness fold? Why didn’t they just ignore the fools protests and go on about their business?

I popped up the stairs at Chevron one early morning headed for the elevator bank only to be greeted by a huge rainbow flag and a banner proclaiming Chevron as a major supporter of the LGBT community in Houston. That offends me and makes me uncomfortable. I think that LGBT is an abomination and a bunch of perverts that are dangerous to others. What about my rights to be comfortable and not offended? I still take Chevron’s money but I don’t agree with their support of LGBT. I mention Chevron by name since they seem to be proud of what they are doing and so expect they are prepared to deal with any consequences therefrom.

We must be stupid or spineless not to throw back on these types of idiots. The anti religious argue that they are uncomfortable around religious people. How uncomfortable are we in being told we somehow make others feel uncomfortable? Can’t they just ignore us and go on about their own business? They have a right to their position, why don’t we have a right to ours?

Hasn’t all this PC crap gone far enough? Aren’t you offended and uncomfortable? When are you going to start telling people to mind their own business? Your rights end where mine start. It can be a gray border but it used to be not so hard to stay away from. It used to be not so hard for us all to have our rights but not impose on the rights, space or privacy of others. What has happened to us? We were taught about this in 8th grade civics and most of us got it. The ones that didn’t were the exception and they were dealt with in exceptional ways.

I’ve been bearing the answer in my tag for years now. Go embrace the Lion of Judah who will take away your (collectively, I’m not singling out you) current cowardice.

You can NOT get courage any other place. Pride won’t supply it; that is fickle and mutable. Moralizing won’t supply it; that is like pretending that bookkeeping can furnish any money in an account.

It’s God, folks. God. More wonderful than you dared believe, resources that you never knew existed. True supernatural. He will embarrass your pride, shame your moralizing. He is what it deserves to be about.
