The American Dream..Food for Thought

[agin]

Hello All;
I realize everyone has their own opinions which is what makes our country great. We have freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to choose as we choose as long as it is within the letter of the law. And a person can go on and on with the freedoms we have. Our ancestors came across Oceans to live in Freedom. They left because of tyranny, being suppressed and not given the opportunity to live as they saw fit. As an example, in the outside world, there is/was/kinda yet...communism, facism, etc..people such as Stalin, Mao Se Tung, Hitler. Germans, Italians, Japanese, Nigerians..etc. etc. etc. came to the Great Melting Pot to live a better life...hopefully become a part of what this land is about and become an AMERICAN....

What has happened??? Where has happened to our freedom of CHOICE?....within each topic, subject, event, deed..etc. etc. etc....
Controversial Clicks????..... Smoking...bad!??? Drinking... good"????...Street Walkers...bad! Pornography/adult book stores....Good!???? Etc..Etc..

AHHHH Yes...What about drinking...what about bars...what about drunk drivers....what about domestic abuse that has been conclusively linked to drinking. Well...almost everyone enjoys a tip... or two..or three....As long it is not in a SMOKE-FILLED BAR...it's HEALTHY. Porn/adult goodies???! All ok as long as they're out of sight...right!!!and as long as the avid readers of great literature, the girls and the patrons don't have to be exposed to SMOKE....!!!?
And I am going to go as far as comparing the beautiful Statue of Jesus located on the south end of Marshfield. There was once a day it stood free. Then someone took offense to Our Lord and said it VIOLATED...his personnel rights when he had to look at it everytime he drove by???walked by??? Because of the efforts of a very wonderful person...Our Lord stands...fenced in...confined.......BUT thanks be to what is RIGHT, He at least is still there.

My point is!!!!!!? I VENTED.and I feel better.....I just KNOW there is going to come a day when regrett will surface..the chickens will come home to roost. One relinquishing of rights, leads to another........Maybe the Bars, Clubs, booze stores, should be next......Man, than the {you know what} would hit the fan!!! Pretty sad if you ask me...{I know you didn't}..but my opinion is as good as the next fella's...I think!!!???? But then who am I...just someone that has the moxy to vote against and say what seems NOT to be the popular bandwagon to be on these days,...To be POLITICALLY CORRECT, is paramount and it seems, unless it's the BANDWAGON OF POPULAR CHOICE...We are to keep our mouth shut>>>>>? HMMM....or be ostrecized....double HMMM....that doesn't sound good.....

Political correctness is a oxymoron. It cannot possibly exist.
I say your a moron if you even try, so rant on.
let it out man.
being ostracized isn't all that bad. you get used to it after a while. LOL

This is the new millennium where only good, clean, believing,folks are forced into the closet. Mostly because its empty now I quess.

so come on out of the closet, we're loud and we're proud, we're Jesus lovin Americans Darn it.

ok, enough of that, time to go out into the cold and have a smoke.

My Grandson came to visit one day and informed me........"GRANMA!!! YOU USE DRUGS!!"
"WHAT?!..CHILD WHAT IN THE WORLD?"...." I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT!!!"
"YEAH GRANDMA, YOU DO....WE LEARNED IT IN SCHOOL TODAY...AND I DON'T WANT MY GRANMA TO BE A DRUG ADDICT!" {smiley-sad face with tear drop-- goes here}
My morning cup of coffee and (heaven forbid), a cigarrette.........nicotene and caffiene..............and that same teacher last summer was picked up while DUI....!!! Sad to say RudeDog...yes, politically correct is an oxymoron and that teacher was a typical...IntOXY-cated Moron.. But still it made me ...
AAAHHH LIFE.... when double standards are a two edged sword ...!! sad..
