Oh, how deliciously ironic…

negotiate4Obama tells congressional leaders he won’t negotiate on shutdown, debt“???… oh, how deliciously ironic.  If Obama won’t negotiate on any of those things — or anything — what is he willing to negotiate on?

Things have gotten out of hand.  (Actually, they got out of hand long ago.)  There was no reason that the Democrats and the President of the United States of America could then (or now) truthfully feel their plan for health care reform was so perfect — so very perfect — so very, very perfect — because they are “all-knowing” — that a little devil’s-advocacy and balance wasn’t in order, rather than a defiant blow-off of everything and anything not-their-way.

No reason, but it happened.

Now we have tons of people losing their jobs, or at least their full-time hours, and definitely their certainty of what tomorrow brings.  No longer does the need of the worker matter — the only things that matter are the whims of Obamacare and the dear Democrats & Pals that claim to so care for the people’s well-being.

And, rather than try to explain what they were thinking and why they thought (and continue to think) they were right and meant/mean well — they start in with the name-calling (calm rhetoric) and low blows towards any who do not agree with them, not to mention those special terms …

 In recent weeks, however, Obama and his aides and Democratic allies have accused the Republican legislators of being anarchists, suicide-bombers, hostage-takers, arsonists, political terrorists, fanatics, blackmailers, and ideological crusaders.

 “What we’re not for is negotiating with people with a bomb strapped to their chest,” Dan Pfeiffer, Obama’s top media adviser, said in a CNN interview this week.  ~Obama: I use ‘calm’ rhetoric, unlike ‘hostage takers’  (The Daily Caller — 7:16 PM 10/02/2013)

The irony of the Obama Administration — their willingness to call names (calm rhetoric), refuse to budge and then dare to project their words and behavior on others.  So, are we to be impressed and feel more secure in Obamacare and this administration now that we know they are pretty darn good at retaliating, hitting below the belt and name-calling (calm rhetoric)?  Sure makes me want to rush out and buy me an Obamacare plan — how about you?

 

Stop the Bullying: The One-sided Affair

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?
