ENOUGH of the bullying from the left. I'm done. The 3 issues I'm about to dive into are all hot areas of discussion right now, locally and nationally. I'm done with the left and their condescending, holier-than-thou fake disgust over anyone who they view as inept and unqualified just because their views differ from the left. I will start with Kirk Cameron, then one of my favorites, Rush Limbaugh, and end with a more local story, Judge Cebull.
Kirk Cameron has just as much to believe that homosexuality is wrong as a person has the right to believe Big Foot is real. The reason he gets called out is because Hollywood has locked arms on this issue and won't back down. Since Hollywood owns the actors and the cameras and the media, their agenda, their point of view is out there for everyone to see, and ultimately accept. If you don't, you will be chastised, ridiculed, made fun of and even boycotted. I honestly have to say I never had Kirk Cameron poster on my wall as a kid. I'd really have to think hard as to what show it was exactly that made him famous. I am aware that he is very bold in his Christian faith, so he obviously has a bulls eye on his back in Hollywood. It's complete hypocrisy. The typical Hollywood actor will advocate for standing up for yourself, being true to yourself and be proud of who you are, except if you're a Christian. In that case, the typical Hollywood actor criticizes you, is very skeptical of you and frankly thinks you are a crazy, narrow-minded zealot. (Never mind, Scientology, Kaballah or mother earth lovers. YOU all are given the free-pass card cuz you don't align yourself with those crazy Christians!) The one, probably most important detail that these so called progressive thinking actors forget about those crazy Christians is that we believe in something detrimental to our faith: FREE WILL. The gift of eternal life is just that, a GIFT. We can either accept it or deny it. We will answer for those decisions ultimately, but if you want to live a life of sin, a life of denial, YOU CAN! Christians are only trying to live out our faith by practicing what we preach. If the Bible instructs us of something, we are called to live it out, by faith. To be ridiculed for doing something that otherwise would be considered noble is hypocritical. Kirk was put on the spot, he was asked a question, and he answered it honestly. Did he call for all homosexuals to renounce their ways, to covert to Christianity to vote for Romney? Heck no! Was and is this being insinuated by the reporting on this story?! You better believe it!
Why do I like Rush Limbaugh? He is fun to listen to and he articulate what I believe so well. To assume because I listen to him makes me some dummy without a brain is, in fact, something a dummy without a brain would think. Those who say they can't stand him are entitle to think that, however, I would probably be correct in assuming that that person never listened to Rush and is just spouting off whatever MSNBC says. Now, Rush recently has been lambasted with criticism over some things he said about a faux college student TESTIFYING BEFORE CONGRESS over BIRTH CONTROL! (why congress is worried about birth control and not rising gas and food prices is a mystery to me) This *wink,wink* student, Sandra Fluke, is an advocate for women's rights and this is her platform. Considering this is her "area", she is about as clueless as I am about quantum physics. Birth control is covered by most insurances for medical conditions other than birth control. And if your place of employment doesn't cover it, regardless of reason, that issue needs to be taken up with your employer, not the government. The employer decides what is covered and what is not. They make the decision based on what they can afford to cover. Now, birth control is readily and cheaply available. If Ms. Fluke is stating that women going to Georgetown can't afford birth control, how the hell are they affording to get educated in GEORGETOWN? But, how the media is stating that Rush thinks all women on birth control are prostitutes, is something I don't follow at all. I was actually listening to him the day this all started. His point, tho blatantly construded by the media, was this woman was basically complaining to our leaders that she and her friends were so sexually active, they needed help paying for what most of us have to pay for out of pocket anyway. She admitted, without out and out saying it, we are all too busy having sex we can't afford our birth control; we can't work because of all the sex, we can't study because of all the sex... that is pretty much admitting towards slutty tendencies, is it not? She would rather you and me pay for her lack of moral judgement and character, than take responsibility and pony up the cash herself. Now, I agree Rush could've articulated this point a bit better, and he admitted to this in his apology, but when it comes down to it, we are quick to defend a woman who advocates promiscuity at astounding levels or a guy who calls it as he sees it? In my opinion, I'd much rather defend a guy standing up for what is right, than for a someone who is clueless about her cause all the while promoting a dangerous life style at the same time. This is not about birth control. It's about our moral compass. Birth control is just an easy, knee jerk way to get people wound up and cry foul at the first possibility that our rights are being tampered with. When in fact they are, but not by the people being portrayed. When our President pretty much orders an entity to provide something, he is not only totally overstepping his bounds, but he is totally imposing his will over ours.
Judge Cebull is receiving locally what Rush is nationally. Cebull made the mistake of forwarding a joke to some friends and eventually was found and made public. Would I have forwarded this joke, no. No.1 , I read the joke and I didn't get it. Honestly, I didn't understand it! No.2, I don't get stuff like this in my email. However, have I ever shared a joke with someone in the past? Yes. So, I am automatically a racist? Who hasn't heard or told a joke, about females, Huttrites, Indians, people from Joplin, people from Chester, people from North Dakota, people from Mexico, men, whites, blacks? Hmm?? HMM??? Are we all racists? There are quite a few hoity-toity, offended beyond measure who are quick to assemble a lynch mob because they are so superior in their intellect they never have commented an offense as rash as this! The nerve. Never mind the guys 40-plus years of non-partial work. In all of his previous cases, he has shown no tendency of racism EVER. But let's throw that all out the window, because clearly, this man's right to his opinion over shadows his ability to be a fair judge. And I really like how not liking Obama's policies = racism. So much for bringing everyone together! Granted sharing this from his work computer was a lapse in judgement, but again, those who are blameless may cast the first stone. There's a lot of stone throwing, but if we were to apprehend what these holier-than-thou types had to say on their "free time" at work, I wonder if the stones would drop. (for my first witness, I call the "honorable" Bill Maher)
The hypocrisy in the left and the media (can you tell who's who?) is obvious. If you don't agree, I'm sorry, you're one of them, and someone I've had it with.
