AT TIMES, THE DIFFICULTY OF “WEIGHING IN” ON SOME THINGS THAT OCCUR IN TODAY'S WORLD REQUIRES MORE OBJECTIVITY THAN I CAN READILY MUSTER

I have received a flurry of telephone calls in response to my “Special” posting of April 14th. People are accusing me of being judgmental. Oh, you know the endless words and phrases that are used to deal with those in this world who, like me, think modern-day America is going to hell in a hand basket. Now, we’ve just added “judgmental” to the list of: politically incorrect, stuck on religion, far right, stuck up, ancient dinosaur, albatross, Christian demagogue, etc, etc, etc.

Well, PARDON ME! By your acclamations, ANARCHY REIGNS! We don’t need to go through the motions of propriety, ethics, or morals any longer. If someone does something I don’t like, I’ll just shoot the son-of-a-bitch, right there on the spot. Save the verbiage, just shoot first and don’t bother to ask questions later.

If anybody, gay or not, decrees that gays can give blood that MIGHT be tainted, that the blood given can enter the mainstream blood supply in this country, and that I don’t have the right to yell, scream, jump, cuss and call names, I’ve got news for you. No one has any right to tell me that I don’t have the right to protect my home, my children, and my personal being from danger. And that includes dangers to the blood supply.

That having been said, I’ll keep my mouth shut until next week. I’m busy loading up on bullets. Big ones. Maybe, like Iran, I’ll buy some from GE.

Off of my pulpit and back to my porcelain throne.

Some people just don’t get it. And THEY’RE to blame.

I’m so angry, I’m finding it most challenging to shut the rant off.
