Gays, stop BULLYING the Chick-Fil-A dude!

 

Here we go again with the Nazi-gays, pitch forks and torches in hand, once again going after Dan Cathy, CEO of Chic-Fil-A!  Last I checked he has the RIGHT to his stance on gay marriage. Mr. Cathy’s view is shared by millions and it is faith based for many.

Why are people constantly being asked to forgo their religious beliefs over so called gay marriage? This seems to be an all or nothing issue for Nazi-gays? Why? Why is there no consideration for a person wanting to be faithful to the word of God?

Given our current economic climate, are these Nazi-gays really calling for a boycott? Really? Over a CEO’s personal view on gay marriage? That’s pretty immature. I’m sure at least one gay person (probably more) works for Chic-Fil-A; so, calling for a boycott is a GREAT way to secure his/her job (written with sarcasm, of course).

Until gay people realize that acceptance, tolerance and such can NOT be legislated, or forced upon others, we will never have our kumbaya moment. Many of us simply refuse to allow ourselves to be TERRORIZED or BULLYIED into a non heart felt, for the sake of political correctness agreement so that a select few can be appeased.  Hell, some gay people don’t even believe in “gay marriage”.

The gay community is always screaming about tolerance, but are mute when when it comes time for them to extend the same courtesy.  Going on  “terror tantrums” and calling people hateful names really does not help the gay cause (whatever that is). 

And for the record, opposing gay marriage DOES…. NOT…. EQUAL…..HATE!  Gay people can call their union whatever they like, but they need to accept that they do not have the right to decide that others must use the same definition.

Quite frankly, these little terror tantrums are getting old and boring. The majority of people are basically being asked to go against their faith.  And even in the absence of faith, no one group of people should have the right to dictate to others how marriage is defined.  The liberal political pets are always such a self centered group of beings; it’s unbelievable. Soon more and more people will tire of this selfish nonsense.

The moment a person says something that gays don’t like, they are labeled as homophobic. When Barack Obama publicly stated that he opposed gay marriage, why didn’t the Nazi-gays go after him? The answer: because the Nazi-gays are the real haters and a bunch of hypocrites and wimps!

The real insult came from Obama when he changed his stance on gay marriage from opposing it to accepting it.  It was a blatant political move to shore up the gay vote. That was the real insult!   That act by Obama proved that he doesn’t care about the ‘gay cause”, or any other cause for that matter. He’s simply  playing a game of political chess.

Do not be fooled for one minute that liberals are so concerned over gay marriage.  This issue is so beyond gay marriage that even Ray Charles can see what’s really up (and he’s blind and dead).   The gay marriage issue is a front to continue the war on Christianity. This is why Christians are constantly being asked to “ignore” their beliefs.  And as usual, liberals are using gays the way they use all of their other political pets.

I hope that  Mr. Cathy continues to state his beliefs, very loudly and very clearly.  I certainly will.  Marriage is between a man and a woman so says the word of God, and no one can make me view it differently…and I WILL NOT allow ANYONE to define me as hateful because of my beliefs.

By the way, those Chick-Fil-A waffle fries are to die for! They will make you wanna slap yo’ Momma!

Why Black History Month is an Insult.

 

“African American” History month is an extension of Negro History Week, which was founded by Carter G. Woodson. The first celebration of Negro History Week was in February of 1926. The month of February was chosen so that the celebration would coincide with the birthdates of Abraham Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas.

Carter G. Woodson was born in Virginia, in 1875, to former slaves. He grew up to become a Harvard trained historian who believed that he could only escape poverty through education. He also believed that un-denied truth would prevail over prejudice, so he set out to establish a way to disseminate the historical contributions of “African Americans”. Through his determination, along with the determination of Minister Jesse E. Moorland, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH) was established. It was this association that sponsored the first Negro History Week in 1926. Today, this association is known as the Association for the study of “African-American” Life and History.

In 1976, the celebration of Negro History week, expanded into “African American” History Month, coinciding with the nation’s bicentennial. Starting with Gerald Ford, every American President since 1976 has officially designated the month of February as “African American” History Month. The United Kingdom and Canada have also designated a month to celebrate this history.

I applaud Carter G. Woodson’s efforts to make sure that the more than substantial contributions made by Black Americans would not be lost. However, by this time, the contributions made by Blacks, from Crispus Attucks to Dr. Ben Carson, should be taught in mainstream education, and be a part of the normal American history curriculum. If this history is not being taught as part of the main curriculum... why not?  If it is being done (I don’t believe that it is), why do we need a month dedicated to Blacks?

To separate Blacks from AMERICAN history is a major insult in my eyes. Those Blacks WERE Americans who deserve the same recognition of any other American making history. For many Blacks, they were not even considered human, so separating them at this point in history books is not only an insult, it’s unforgivable. It’s a form of segregation. Out ancestors, of All hues, worked to mold this country into the greatest nation on the planet, so, why are we still carving out a month of each year for some? It’s an insult as it suggests that Blacks in history are only a footnote.

I’m not looking for special consideration of Blacks…. that’s what Black History month is.  I’m suggesting that someone like Captain Robert Smalls should be discussed when discussing the Civil War… he certainly earned his spot in the history books. Come on! It’s 2012! Blacks who are happy with anything less than equality in the history books have fallen to the soft bigotry of lowered expectations.

Perhaps the first step towards integrating all Americans in history books is for Blacks and other minorities to stop hyphenating. Stop referring to yourself as ________-Americans. We’re all Americans.  Our ancestors sacrificed a lot for us to be here, so embrace it.

Mr. Woodson was correct when he said “un-denied truth would prevail over prejudice”. It is the opinion of some that truth has been denied; seemingly on purpose. It seems impossible that this copious and rich history has been evaded by accident. Perhaps some are afraid that true history shows Blacks as strong, Christian, fighters, achievers, business owners, military personnel, authors, doctors, lawyers, slave owners, slave traders, and politicians (amongst other things). I guess it would be hard to promote a mentality of victimhood once you know the stock from which you came… and truth!

I believe that if our children were taught that Whites were the first slaves in this country; that the first slave ship was rejected; that slavery was initially determined by religious and class status, not skin color; that Antonio the Negro was the first documented, outright slave owner; that Blacks were more than slaves; that the Republican party was formed to end slavery and that the Democrat party started the KKK to harass Republicans… we would begin to heal as a nation in ways you could not imagine. That prejudice that exudes from many Americans, of every shade these days, would be a rare occurrence. Truth must have it‘s day if we hope to unite as a nation. 

Our history is well rounded. There is a lot of beauty mixed in with the ugly, but to this day, too much focus is given to the ugly parts of our history. Until unadulterated, true history is taught, we will retain the negative impact of racial divide and prejudice in our society, because even if you can teach history in a day, a week, a month or for years… when it’s revised, hidden or stolen… what good is it?


I challenge Black parents to ask your  children who Crispus Attucks, Captain Robert Smalls, Phyllis Wheatley, Elizabeth Keckly, Rev. Jonas Clark, James Armistead Lafayette, Benjamin Banneker,  John Rock or Antonio the Negro was. If they don’t know, not only has the school system and society failed, so have you because the responsibility of educating starts and ends in the home.

What We Have Become

 

We have gone from fighting for our freedom to giving it up to be controlled by the government; specifically, the political party that enslaved and murdered our ancestors.

We have gone from working hard to achieve success regardless of our circumstance,  to using our circumstance as an excuse to not work hard.

We have gone from striving for self sufficiency to being content with and dependent on governmental insufficiency.

We have gone from fighting to keep our families together to willfully creating life for a financial pittance handed to us by the government.

We have gone from fighting and literally dying to be educated, to allowing our children to drop out of school and enter prison at astronomical rates.

We have gone from believing in God or being true to our faith, to believing in and putting our faith in a political party, specifically the one that has and still is committing atrocities against our race.

We have gone from fighting for equal rights to accepting special rights, as if we are incapable of competing based on our own intellectual abilities.

We have become confortable in using slavery as an excuse to do nothing.

We have become comfortable wallowing in a perpetual state of victimhood.

We have become comfortable with excusing away our bad and barbaric behavior, often finding a way to invoke racism, instead of holding people accountable for their actions.

We have embraced a secular culture that is antithetical to our Christian beliefs and as a result, we have lost the ability to be ashamed of our actions. 

What we need to do now is focus on our youth. We need to reintroduce shame, especially in an era of all of these “this and that housewife” shows;  few male role models in the home, and secular churches. 

If we don’t focus on our youth enough  to at least plant the seeds of what decency and morality really is; or to show them how to think critically, I’ll  hate to see what we will become as a nation in the next 20 – 30 years.

This Chic-fil-A story is not about racism; it’s about politics!

 

Was the Chic-fil-A cashier stupid for referring to Asian customers as Ching and Chong on their receipts?  Does doing such a thing make that cashier incredibly stupid? Hell yes! Does that make the person a racist? Not necessarily.

How many times have you said something “off color” or inappropriate? If you’re being honest, your answer is many times! I know I have been inappropriate many times, and I’m an equal opportunity offender. My comments made in jest, to a selected group of people that I trust; do not make me racist.  I don’t go around making racially inflammatory comments all willy-nilly, and I certainly wouldn’t do such a thing at work under any circumstance, but around friends and family… yeah, I’ve said some things that would end my campaign if I were running for a public office!

Booooo to that cashier!  What were you thinking, dude? You don’t write that kind of thing on a customer’s receipt! You save those kind of jokes for close friends and family!  How were you raised?

Actually, I think this story is racist! According to “The Source”? Is that the victim… “The Source”… sounds too much like soy Sauce to me!  Did this incident even happen? I’m not convinced!

 
Anywho, given the severe issues we face today, like our economy being in the toilet and Iran being on the verge of getting nuclear weapons, I’m shocked that this story captured the attention of mainstream media. GASP! Could we be seeing this report because the Chic-fil-A Corporation-Person is pro Christianity and pro traditional marriage? Is Chic-fil-A being targeted politically?  I betcha they are!  Attention ill-informed… this is a dot… connect it!


I know one thing…and that is people need to lighten up! I love me a Chic-fil-A chicken sandwich with waffle fries, so BACK OFF liberal media! Don’t make me CLUCK you up!

Liberal-Isms


I want to do whatever I want, when I want and I don’t want to be judged for, or made to feel bad about my actions.

I want to be told I’ve done a good job even though I have not.

I want a ribbon even if I lose the race so I won’t fee bad.

I want others to pay for my mistakes.

I don’t want to be held accountable for my actions because it would make me feel bad.


I’m a victim of my own mistakes and feel others should be responsible for fixing my mistakes.


I’m a victim of past transgressions and deserve special rights.

I’m different and I deserve special rights.

I feel all of us are victims of something, and therefore, the legal system punishes too harshly.

I feel that Blacks are victims of slavery…. still.

I don’t believe Blacks can be racist.

I feel some people just need more help than others and that help should be provided by the government.

I’m comfortable with the majority loosing rights, if it benefits me.

I’m for making the majority of people feel uncomfortable if it makes a few more comfortable.

I feel it’s unfair that those who work harder than me have more than me.

I shouldn’t have to earn what I deserve.

I’m entitled to great things, at any cost, unless I have to pay that cost.

I feel a human baby growing inside its mother is not a life, but an acorn is.

I feel most people are incapable of making intelligent decisions, so I must think for them.

I believe in God  but, the ideology of my political party is more important than God’s word.

This Conservative does not FEEL or BELIEVE that Liberals hear themselves when they speak.

Tebow: “Get Bowed” With Him America!

 

The constant criticism of football player Tim Tebow engaging in a short prayer before games is really beginning to brew a hellish anger in me. I was going to ask the rhetorical question, “what’s the big deal about a man praying”, but on second thought, the question is not so rhetorical after all. The big deal goes beyond Tebow and it is just another example of the Secularists trying to erode Christianity wherever it is displayed. In other words, those that follow the religion of Secular Humanism are unwavering in their efforts to shatter the very foundation on which this nation was founded: Christianity. Connect the dots, and the picture will be clear!

The Secularists yelp and bark about Tebow incessantly, saying that he should keep his faith to himself. Really? Ok… what about the rappers who thank God for winning awards? Should they keep that to themselves? The answer to secularists is no. Would you like to know why? It’s because most of them don’t really mean it. They know it’s not sincere coming from that crowd, so there is no harm done. This crowd will not go out and exalt God in there everyday lives. They are simply grandstanding to give the  impression of a person of faith. Look at many of their lives…. does it reflect a faith driven person?

To the keen eye, it is obvious that some of these entertainer’s words and actions do not match. Many of them have arrest records longer than their arms and legs combined. They have multiple kids out of wedlock and take pride in portraying a lifestyle that revolves around money and whores, and whores and money.  They live secular lifestyles so, this crowd actually works towards destroying Christianity, and that keeps them  safe from criticism.

How about Muslims who wear the hijab, or fall down like drunks praying to Allah every four hours (or however often they pray)?  If they are wearing the hijab in public or are being allowed to pray in the work place, or any other public place, are they keeping their religion to themselves? What about the atheists who want every vestige of Christianity removed from wherever they can have it removed? Are they keeping their beliefs to themselves? No… they are not, but different rules apply to the liberal faction.

Have you noticed that you never see  Secularists attack Hindu, Buddhism, Scientology or any other “religion”? Only Christianity! I guess that’s the price to pay for being the real deal.

When Muslims are made to remove hijabs and burkas in public because wearing them will betray their religious preference, then come and talk to me about Tebow praying before a game. And when atheists are not allowed to publicly profess that there is no God, we can have this chat again!

Secularists should really adapt rules to the game that apply to everyone “fairly” (a favorite word for the liberal minded folk). As it stands, Liberals use a set of rules that oscillate. This way they can constantly change their stance to defend a liberal offending party or situation, or degrade if conservative. In other words, Liberals (same as Secularists for the intellectually challenged- all part of the Democrat Party) are some of the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Some even pretend to believe in God, but their lifestyles and actions paint a very different picture- like many of those rappers and other performers who thank God for winning an award, but then go out and get wasted drunk; rape or shoot someone, or break the law in one way or another.

To my knowledge, Tebow is true to his faith. And that just chaps some liberal hides! You see, he CAN bring others to Christianity! This is why he is so targeted! He is counterproductive to the secular movement.

Instead of beating this man down for being a Christian in a Christian nation, there should be knees bowed right along with his. I’m not saying to bow and pray for a football game… just bow and pray!

I’m not a sports fan at all, but I might have to find out which team Tebow plays for so I can watch, bow and pray with him. I encourage every Christian to do the same. Support your brother in Christ…defend your faith… “get bowed”.

What Christmas is Not


Many probably wont see this post until after Christmas, but that’s fine. Hopefully it will give you something to think about moving forward.  What does Christmas mean to you these days?  I’m not looking for your programmed answer, I’m looking for the answer that comes from your spirit… your true answer. I’m not looking for the obvious answer. Put some thought into answering the question. What do you do the other 364 days to bring your answer to life?  Are you teaching the true meaning of Christmas to your children and grandchildren? If not, you are not living the true meaning of Christmas .

I can tell you what Christmas IS NOT.  It isn’t a happy holiday or a season to be greeted. It isn’t a chance to get gifts or to go shopping to catch sales. And while festive decorations are nice to look at and makes the heart happy (at least it does that for me) decorated trees and fancy lights do not define Christmas.

Christmas IS NOT an excuse to gorge ourselves with stuffing, ham, cakes, pies, candies, cookies, eggnog and all of those other goodies that are oh so very good…  yum!  It’s NOT an excuse for parties or get-togethers to partake in adult beverages or to show off the brand new outfit bought just for the occasion.


What about Santa Claus? Nope, Christmas IS NOT about Santa Clause, Rudolph or the other reindeer. And it’s not about elves making toys, or talking snowmen. These things are nice fantasies for children if you so choose to teach it to them, but these things should only be taught if teaching the true meaning of Christmas supersedes.

I wonder how many families have watched stories about the birth of Christ. I wonder if Christ was discussed everyday, as we frenzied our way to December 25th. I wonder how many minutes families spent praying together during this “season”.  Was there more talk of gift giving, Santa and baking in your home than about Christ?  If so, then that’s the legacy you are building for your children. 

I’m not trying to be holier than thou. I have spent time reflecting on my own actions and what I can do differently to carry the spirit of Christmas in my heart everyday of my life. After all, we are celebrating the birth of Christ today; the son that God sacrificed for our salvation because we are so weakened by our wicked hearts.

Christmas is  faith. It is a lifestyle. It spawns a desire to live a life that is worthy of the gift of salvation.  It is your generous spirit. Christmas is to be celebrated every day of your life because it represents truth, love, hope, sacrifice and the gift of eternal life. Christmas is the day we set aside to celebrate the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, so why not celebrate his existence everyday… in small ways?  Anywho, that’s my goal. I can always do better…. always! 

Happy Birthday, Jesus….. and  Merry Christmas to everyone, all year long!

Santa and Poinsettias… Offensive? So NOT!

 

Is there even room left on the offensive list for poinsettias? Everything is put there nowadays. Even jolly old St. Nick has been tagged with the big O. Every time I turn around these days, some idiot somewhere is unreasonably relegating something to the offensive list. In this case, the idiocy is stemming from officials at an elementary school in Stockton, California. They have purportedly decided that Santa and poinsettias would create a pervasive theme favoring one religion over another. I always wonder where the outrage from parents is when I hear about such senselessness. All parents who celebrate Christmas should pick a day to OCCUPY that school! This is political correctness run on steroids.


I’ll tell you what is truly offensive… attempting to take away my voice because you don’t agree with it. It’s offensive to remove crosses and other Christian icons because it might offend someone of another faith or religion. It’s offensive to erode American traditions because people who came here from other countries might be offended. I’m more than offended! I’m disgusted and outraged at those who grant themselves the power to determine what is offensive or not for ALL of us! This kind of Liberal BS is destroying this country fiber by fiber! The uninformed and the clueless do not realize that such actions slowly but surely erodes away our freedoms. Taking from one to give to another under any circumstance is always a failure!


When others immigrate to the USA, they should be told that our culture and traditions are already in place and that we do not re-arrange our way of life to appease others. Newcomers and those choosing to subscribe to other religious beliefs should know from jump street that we are a Judeo-Christian nation based upon the principles of our founding. While Santa and poinsettias are not biblical, they are festive symbols associated with our celebration of the birth of Christ. They are considered traditional symbols of the Christmas season. Will schools soon teach kids that there is no Santa? Don’t laugh… schools are already subverting Christianity… kids can’t say God in schools anymore, remember?!


Where does this stop? The fact of the matter is it won’t stop because too many people are oblivious. Declaring Santa and poinsettias as offensive is just another part to the Left’s plot to secularize and socialize this country. I don’t know what it will take to awake the sleepers. Moreover, I’m totally offended when they sleep walk their behinds into a voting booth!

I deem the officials in Stockton to be Scrooges! Take that! And, if this blog happens to offend you, kiss my poinsettia!
