I’m in a really bad mood…

by

grumpyYesterday, I was quite ticked off because I truly don’t like people writing to me and suggesting that those who are somewhat like-minded with me are something I know for a fact they are not!  Oh, that really ticks me off.  Not that you would ever guess.

But… it didn’t begin there… nor does it end there.

Not long ago, I was suspended from a site.  I received one thing that said I needed to agree not to do something anymore.  Problem was… I hadn’t done it in the first place.  And, for various reasons, I wasn’t about to confess to something I did not do.  Like… if I had taken the easy way out just to get back on the site — it would have been on record that I said I wouldn’t do it anymore?  Duh, the false confession could later be used against me with someone saying I had admitted to doing it prior, regardless of the fact I really hadn’t ever done the deed (in question) ever. 

Let’s put it this way…

I would rather never be on that site again, than to say I did something I did not do!

Needless to say, I don’t believe in false confessions.  Oh, did I say that already?

Nevertheless, I wrote to the site in question and they did let me back on, but it sounded as though they still thought I did whatever because their system supposedly said whatever it was it said.  On the other hand, I wondered if they had gone and taken a “physical” look, which would have shown what I was saying was true.  Maybe they even found out there is a flaw that the bad people figured out and used to their advantage to get rid of the opposition?  (The latter being what I think actually happened – the radicals and silencers found the flaw & were using it to their advantage.)

Then we come to today.  I started out the day finding I’m suspended from still another place.  (I wish I could say who.  Maybe later, I will.)  Once again, I am at the mercy of a group that can’t (or won’t) tell me specifics, but can hold me accountable for what I have no ability to control, even if it did happen.  But what if it didn’t… or what if it was a setup because I had ticked someone off?  After all, I do write and I do tick off radical liberals quite often, don’t I?

Might they set me up for punishment?

Naw!  They wouldn’t do something like that, would they?

 

Oh, that ticks me off…

madI just love it when people send P.R. (propaganda) mail and call me names or otherwise insult me in their little pep talk aimed at getting money from me , no less.  I guess I’m supposed to be one of their Zombie followers or too stupid to get that I’ve been insulted or that insulting me will make me feel I must be wrong and must rush over and become a Zombie, too.  Who knows.  Who cares?  Whatever they are thinking — they are WRONG!

It reads:  “We are the largest grassroots movement organizing every day to knock down those roadblocks, one by one.”

They call people in Congress — who are actually representing their constituents — roadblocks?

They are going to knock them down one by one?  Really?  And just what’s the plan?  How are they going to do that?  Will they pull a Harry Reid on the roadblock Congress people?  You know… throw some “misinformation” out there about the person, in an attempt to challenge his or her credibility?

It goes on…”We have an aggressive plan for the months ahead — that’s because building the kind of organization that can stand up to the powerful interests and the obstruction -focused members of Congress takes a lot of grassroots power.”

Takes a lot of arrogance, too.

The “powerful interests” in this situation happens to be you and me and anyone else that is a citizen.  People have spoken and some Congress members are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing — LISTENING & ACTING ON THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.  Then we have this grassroots group that is going to aggressively knock down any of these Congress members who have dared represent their districts… who have dared represent US and our wishes?

Am I to be impressed or something?

Oh… oh… and then they put… “Since we launched ___, we haven’t slowed down.  You’re the reason for that…”

Beg pardon?

I’m what?

I think they have mistaken me for someone else.  I deserve no credit for their existence or anything they have done or attempted to do, nor do I want any.  As a matter of fact, I consider their efforts to be insulting to the American citizens and representative of nothing more than “Bully Power”!

Government isn’t supposed to be a playground with everyone going around, “Let’s pretend this is true…” or “Let’s pretend these are the facts…” or “Let’s pretend I’m the good guy and you are the bad guy…”  This is REAL LIFE and REAL LIVE PEOPLE are being affected by decisions being made.  Needless to say — the games need to stop!  The games need to stop and people need to take a REAL look at what is taking place right in their face!

The “roadblocks” are Congressmen & Women, who are listening and responding to those they are representing.  How dare anyone suggest to remove them one by one.  That sounds like a threat!

Oh, that ticks me off…

hackerThe article, Why Does My “Invisible Friend” Bother You So Much, has resulted in a touch of frustration, entertainment of the day, and pure validation.  Yes, validation.  Validation of what so many of us have come to see as the new reality people are attempting to impose upon the masses.  To suggest many of us are tired of it, is the understatement of the century.  It’s old.  It’s used up.  It’s a game no longer selling with ease, as the boycott membership swiftly grows.

Why Does My “Invisible Friend” Bother You So Much was dealing with the need of SOME to get rid of anything and everything that suggests Christianity, while either supporting, or ignoring, rude & lewd behavior in public (possibly in front of children).  And, let’s not forget the Mosque/Islamic “exception” and demand for tolerance not afforded the Christian churches, though they (the Muslims), too, have an “Invisible Friend”.

Rather than deal with the topic at hand, the reaction was an attempt to slide the discussion elsewhere and totally away from the point.

I did not ask why people didn’t simply believe in God.  I asked why it bothered them so much that they had to remove any sign of my “Invisible Friend” from view, while demanding tolerance for the Muslims and their “Invisible Friend”?  What did (and do) they fear that they can’t simply let Christian believers believe?  What did (do) they fear that made, and makes, it necessary to demand removal and exclusion of anything thing that resembles Christianity, while often promoting (with a passion) anything that is non-Christian or blatantly against Christianity?

A person tried to get into a conversation about the wrongful things that happened in the guise of Christianity, but… that wasn’t the topic.

I kept trying to remind the person what the topic was.  It was useless.

It was suggested that I am delusional.  I was asked if I was stupid.  Well, most readers know the drill and how the conversation went – ‘cause it was like they always go.  It was also suggested that I made it all up.  Straw man illusion, if you will.  No one was actually trying to take away anything and everything that might suggest a Christian theme.  So, I presented an article dealing with a Christmas tree ban.

Needless to say, but I will…

The person, at times throughout the conversation, responded by repeating a particularly offensive word over and over.  (Now there’s an intelligent argument.)

Likewise, the person said that I had failed to address all that he/she presented about Christianity, but I had dared to bring up a Christmas tree ban.  Then there was the laughing and so forth as he attempted to mock me.  EXCEPT… things such as a Christmas tree ban was the major point of the particular article.  Yes, In regard to the article, Why Does My “Invisible Friend” Bother You So Much — Christmas tree banning was quite relevant to the issue presented.

Straw man illusion?  Wouldn’t that apply to someone pretending to be rational, while trying to commandeer a discussion and ignoring the actual question presented?  And yes… wouldn’t that apply to that same someone who was suggesting no one is trying to remove signs of Christianity except maybe from schools?  Oh, and wouldn’t that apply to that same person who was trying to tell me the point of the article?  You know, the article I personally thought up and wrote all on my own without his input or guidance?  (Somehow, I think I am the most qualified to know what point I was trying to make.  Whether I made it or not, is an entirely different issue.)

My question again with the examples spelled out for the little mocker types, who deny even the obvious when it doesn’t fit their agenda…

Why Does My “Invisible Friend” Bother You So Much that there is a problem with having a Christmas tree or saying something so simple as, “Merry Christmas”?  What is it that is feared?  What is it that you fear — that makes all these things so dangerous to you that you can’t just let them be?  Why is it necessary to remove and destroy anything you feel is even remotely related to my “Invisible Friend”, while promoting tolerance for the Muslims or the rude and the lewd?

That is the question.  No commandeering invited or allowed.

CrossI can’t help but wonder why my “Invisible Friend” bothers you so very much.  It isn’t as though I’m requiring you to talk to him, nor do I drag you to church and force you to sit next to me in the pew pretending you are.  So just what is it that so upsets you about me having my “Invisible Friend” that you have to mock and insult and try to take away anything that might remind you that there are many people, who are friends with my “Invisible Friend”?

Do you likewise mock the people who are acting rude and lewd in public, or do you cheer them on and defend their right to flaunt their sexuality all over the place?  Oh, that’s right, instead you mock my “Invisible Friend” and me for daring to feel the public display is inappropriate.

MosqueDo you likewise mock the Muslims for their Islamic beliefs and for having an “Invisible Friend”, too?  I didn’t think so.  You wouldn’t dare.  You’re too chicken to mock them, because you know some don’t take such mockery lightly and do play for keeps and forever.  So, instead, you spend your energy lecturing that everyone should be tolerant and embrace a Mosque being built at the Twin Tower site or some other such place that might be considered an insult to some non-Muslims, while demanding the Ten Commandment tablet be removed immediately from the public square.

I don’t force you to stand with me and talk to my “Invisible Friend”, but you strive to silence my ability to talk with him or about him, except in the shadows hidden from your sight and hearing.

What is it that makes you willing to embrace anything non-Christian and destroy anything that is?  What is it that makes you so desperately in need of destroying all the reminders of my “Invisible Friend”?  Why not consider it art and mythology and leave it at that?  What is it that you fear — that perhaps my invisible friend isn’t a myth after all?

Common Sense vs The Now Common Behavior

holderIt appears that the Holder Fast & Furious contempt case remains on hold, as everyone waits on a judge’s ruling.

So does that mean that Holder is on leave pending the outcome?

No.

If a cashier was caught stealing from his boss, would the boss leave him at the cash register, until a judge ruled on his guilt or innocence?

If a nurse was caught harming patients, would the supervisor keep scheduling the accused to work shifts caring for patients, while waiting on a judge to rule?

If a fast food employee was caught poisoning food, would the boss keep him preparing and serving food, while waiting on a judge to make a decision?

If a police officer was caught stopping cars and robbing the drivers, would the Police Chief keep the officer on traffic duty, as a judge ponders a decision?

If a prosecutor was caught doctoring evidence, would he be allowed to handle cases, while waiting on a judge to rule on his?

Then why is Eric Holder acting as Attorney General and making decisions on who will and won’t be prosecuted for whatever his heart desires, while someone waits on a judge to rule?

Does this then mean that the boss, knowing what Holder has been caught doing, is complicit or is it short-sightedness?  Either way, there is a question we all should ask and ponder upon…

Where is the common sense in this now common behavior?  Do we simply accept that there is none and go on about our business?

What do you think?

Embarrassed Yet: The People Want to Know

by

eagle blueWell, Congress, many things have been left up to you as representatives of “We the People”.  Sadly, many of you did it your way in spite of all the outcries and questions that loomed right in front of you.  The people weren’t smart enough.  The people weren’t aware of all the facts.  The people were over-reacting.  The politics and political careers out-weighed any of the bad stuff the people might be enduring.  And that is only a portion of it all and many of you know it. 

It is to the many of you that I address this…

You are in Washington, DC and you didn’t know (or believe) the IRS was targeting the Tea Party or Christian groups?

You didn’t know about the New Black Panthers intimidating voters and that it was ignored?

You didn’t have a clue about Fast & Furious?

You didn’t know that video line was a hoax, when an excuse was thrown out there for the Benghazi attack and the failure to act?

You didn’t know about the spying on journalists?

You didn’t know about problems with NSA, until Snowden announced it to the world?

You didn’t know that Holder was held in contempt?

You didn’t know the president wrongly inserted himself into the Professor Gates & Trayvon Martin cases, stirring racial tension?

You didn’t know that no one was allowed to disagree with the president or his administration least they be called racist?

You didn’t know that Sandy Hook — a tragedy — was utilized for political gain and an attempt to gun grab?

You didn’t know that people were bragging about having voted more than once?

You didn’t know that Henry Reid campaigned against Romney with an untruth when he claimed the candidate hadn’t paid taxes?

Where were you that you didn’t know these and other things that happened on your watch?

The world has been watching.

The world has been paying attention.

The world has been wondering at your lack of integrity and backbone.

Are you embarrassed yet?

You should be!

Stop the Bullying: The One-sided Affair

by

crossing fingers 2I’m not going to mince words.  I’m tired of the radical agenda driven peoples, claiming special consideration for gay teens, while then claiming they are fighting “bullying” of teens.  No, you aren’t.  You are fighting the bullying of specific groups — not bullying itself.

That’s wrong!

That’s as wrong as the act of bullying.

Let’s have some real discussion here…

Gay teens are bullied?  Only gay teens?  Yeah, right!

If the supposed grown-ups would fight the act of bullying — then it would be a fight to stop bullying of all.  That would include gays. However, when only gays are the protected group of kids — it not only leaves out the other bullied kids, it adds to those who are. It is, after all, a protection at the expense of others.  What part of this picture can’t these activists see or comprehend?  Or, is it that it doesn’t matter to them?  Is it that it doesn’t fit their true agenda of promotion?

It doesn’t matter if gay teens have been bullied for a hundred years — so have the nerds and others — that doesn’t make this wrongness any righter.

A woman said to me that it is a matter of “respect”.  Yeah, and people should be taught to be respectful just because they should be respectful.  There should be no need to isolate the gays into some special group that everyone must respect, while not demanding the same respect for all others be returned.

I tried to make the point to one person, that teens, who do not believe in open sexuality, should not be forced to “embrace” open homosexuality.  They shouldn’t be forced to take part in things such as “Gay Pride Day”, or, if they are, that they are then the ones being bullied.  And we don’t get this because?

Oh, it doesn’t fit the true agenda?

From what I have seen of Gay Pride parades, it is a show of perversion — and a demand of that “in your face” perversion being accepted or else — not individuals attempting to show they are like everyone else.  Nope!  It’s shock and hostility at it’s best.

It appears that teens are being taught they have a “right” to be rude and lewd in public.  It appears they are being taught that if someone is offended by the public rude and lewd behavior, that person is an intolerant enemy to be punished.  After all, how dare someone think “certain behavior” is inappropriate in public no matter who is involved in the performance?

A man once told me that all he and his activist friends wanted was to be treated equally.  Fine, then accept the consequences equally for the “behavior” that is not acceptable in a public setting.  Stop doing the “in your face, I dare you to say or do anything” actions, while then crying intolerance because someone was offended.  Stop demanding special treatment, especially at the expense of others.

Not everyone likes my hair color or the way I wear it.  Are they intolerant?  Shouldn’t they be forced to love it?  Shouldn’t we have a Carrie’s Hair Day at school each year?  That will force everyone to be more tolerant of my hair, won’t it?  Ridiculous?  Well, so is a day celebrating homosexuality.

It’s one thing to teach teens they are special and to be there for them during those rough years, but quite another to indoctrinate them into the world of hostility and victimhood, and suggesting they now have rights they don’t afford others.  They have the right to be intolerant while demanding tolerance.  They have a right to behave in public as though they walked out of an XXX rated movie, while in a “G” public setting.  That’s wrong!  That’s simply wrong!

If I saw a teen (or anyone) being bullied, I would step-in (or call for help) to stop it.  I wouldn’t even be thinking “why” the bullying was taking place.  That’s because I see bullying as wrong regardless of the victim of it.  Not so for some of those I speak of.  These so-called righteous activists, seem to think it’s quite okay to bully the Christian teens because they don’t want to take part in something they feel is offensive — a Sex Day at school — while supposedly crying out against bullying.

I don’t see these activists, I speak of, doing the kids any favors at all.  They aren’t teaching kids self-respect and how to be respectful to others.  They are teaching hate, hostility, victim-hood, lewdness, rudeness, self-centeredness, blindness,deafness, intolerance, disrespect for self and a life centered around “sex”, rather than centered around self and all that the person can be.  Sex first — all else later, if ever.

Yes, let’s stop the bullying, some activists say, as though the ONLY victims are, or have ever been, gay teens.  Yes, let’s stop the bullying for ALL, unless they happen to be Christian teens (for example), who don’t want to take part in a celebration of sexuality (that has no business being in the school experience anyway).  Now, in that case, it is quite okay to bully them, call them names and demand they give up their beliefs or else.  Yep, that’s different. It’s also why this is a one-sided affair.  An affair that has little to do with an attempt to stop bullying because bullying is wrong in and of itself, but rather — stop the bullying of a select group ONLY, even if it is at the expense of other teens.

Yes, these activists worry so much about the “bullying of teens” and how it so negatively impacts them.  Well, if they are gay teens that is.  Christian teens being bullied and vilified is, in this one-sided affair, quite a different story.  So, I guess this alleged “anti-bullying” movement isn’t really about “anti-bullying” after all, is it?

When the Information was Wrong: The Inaccurate Public Conviction of George Zimmerman

George Zimmerman's Great-Grandfather

George Zimmerman’s Great-Grandfather

On February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, life ended for one young man and life forever changed for many more. There is no turning back. There are no second chances. A young man is dead and another young man faces the results of decisions they both made that day.

While we can’t take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter.

Turns out that, Zimmerman, the “white Hispanic”, is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so — he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was.

Well, who would have thought such to be a possibility while listening to the original reports of it all?

It appears the president and Al & buddies didn’t.

Amazing how some major players of race-baiting have all run from the story, or so it seems.

The media being so irresponsible as to unjustly inflame, is beyond belief.

It used to be that the media sought out the truth and facts, but in the Martin-Zimmerman case, didn’t we see video that supposedly suggested that Zimmerman was not injured, when in fact he was?

Haven’t we often heard that Zimmerman “disobeyed” the dispatcher, when, in fact, the tape has the dispatcher saying something to the effect, “We don’t need you to do that.” and Zimmerman calmly responding, “Okay.” Yes, haven’t we heard that conversation followed by lack of heavy breathing… meaning that Zimmerman was neither running after ,nor walking swiftly, after anyone.? Yet, that bit of misinformation suggesting that Zimmerman disobeyed the dispatcher continues to follow the story. Why?

I can only suppose the “why’s”!

Without there being racism and racial profiling, this may have merely been a tragic story that was nothing more than a misunderstanding between two people. A story that might have been reported briefly and stuffed into the history files of all the other sad things that have happened to people more often than we would like to think. That’s what it could have been. But none of those possibilities mattered as Al Sharpton, the president and all those others jumped in and made a bad situation even worse.

Let’s not forget NBC’s edited version of the 911 tape that makes it appear that Zimmerman is saying that he is suspicious of Martin, because the teenager is black. The tape was edited. That ISN’T how the conversation went. Yet, people are still relying upon that bogus version and holding George Zimmerman guilty because of it.

How does NBC plan on remedying the wrongful results that rest with their wrongful actions?

Once a lie or bad information is out there, it is out there. Some will consider the original information to be gospel and refuse to consider any thought word or deed that counters the holy words of the first to speak and report. Of course, how hard do those reporters, agencies or officials try to correct their original misinformation and even outright lies? Do they repeat their misdeeds and misreporting every few minutes such as they repeat the sensationalized story headlines they create?
