Really...You're Surprised at His Answer? [How dumb are you]

       Really...we have nothing better to do than be surprised when someone answers a question asked in the way we should expect them to answer it? I was aggravated on my morning drive when every radio station they were discussing Phil Roberson, the patriarch of the family whose daily dealings are chronicled on the show ‘Duck Dynasty’.  He had an interview with GQ (of all magazines) and they asked him about homosexuals/homosexuality and he answered the question he was asked and expounded a bit. Let me qualify his answer with the fact that their show, their family values, their books, shirts, etc. are all based on the Christian principles of the Roberson family. They pride themselves in being devout Christians and living their live according to the teachings of Christ (Bible while exhibit family values in all they do. This being said, no one should be surprised that his answer wasn’t glowing with regard to homosexuality.  I haven’t read his GQ interview yet, I will, but I read an article in Time on this matter and one quote he made, “We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job,” he said, adding, “We just love ’em, give ’em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ’em out later, you see what I’m saying?”, is being particularly harped on. What’s the big deal here?

       According to scripture homosexuality is sin as are being drunk and senselessly terrorizing/killing folks. When we face God for judgment He won’t put on above another, they are all sin. Why is it that Christians answer questions according to their Christian beliefs they are labelled intolerant, anti-gay, etc.? This was an issue not too long ago for Chic-Fil-A and now for Duck Dynasty…really? How stupid are we that we allow society, the media and some irritated sexual deviants dictate what we can and cannot say and what belief system we can or cannot espouse. Last I checked the 1^st amendment didn’t just protect the LGBT community, but it also protects those of us who choose to follow God and share our belief system with those we encounter. Years ago I heard a sermon entitled ‘Persecuted for the Right Reason’ [Shirley Reaves], I think this aptly describes the indefinite suspension of Phil Roberson from the A&E show Duck Dynasty that’s based around his family. Besides, how many of these idiots from GLAAD actually watch his show? But they’re actively harassing any and all advertisers to drop the show because he said what he feels and believes.

       I know someone will reply saying he doesn’t like black people either. They may even cite that he said black folk were happy in the pre-civil rights era.   He basically that the black folks he was exposed to lived, world and were nappy like everyone else around him. I think we need to stop persecuting folks like this for standing on their beliefs and stop giving credence to these drama ‘queens’ who make mountains out of molehills and attack everything folks say, twist their words to say something more dramatic than what they actually said. He has a right to say what he said just as they have a right to do what they do. You want us to live and let live, but you won’t practice the same.

It’s Just My Opinion But I’m Not Wrong.

Sit your *#% Down Jesse!!!

As many of you might have heard over the past couple of weeks, Jesse is back in the news again. For years I've referenced him as a camera whore and have been less than impressed with his antics and shenanigans over the past couple of decades. There are several facts that Jesse needs to come to grips with.

1. His run for the white house was less than mediocre and a waste of time and money
2. He failed to gain the nomination of the party because he was running to be president of BLACK folks, not president of the USA
3. Obama’s campaign and presumptive nomination don’t resemble either of these.
   

Jesse has fallen into the delusion that too many of our people have. They seek out injustice and racism wherever they can find it and often times wherever they can create it. His last little statement that was ‘accidentally’ caught on a hot mic was indicative if the REAL, do as I say, not as I do Jesse. It was also a screaming example of his idiocy. He was on FOX for crying out loud. Everyone knows that FOX News is a tool of the extreme right wing Conservatives. He should have known they’d try to do something to get him to make a fool of himself and, to them, black people. I, unfortunately, had to come to grips with the fact that when one black man does something stupid [like this] we are all painted with the same brush. I had to come to grips with the fact that when a black preacher [I still don’t ever recall hearing him preach] does something stupid [like this] all black preachers are put in the category with him. Don’t agree?? Look back over the years and focus on times and events that shaped this country and the lives of black Americans. Who do they ALWAYS go to as the voice of Black America? Hmmm…Jesse and his perm wearing cohort Al!!! I don’t know about you, but neither of them speak for me!!!

He started out by making statements about Obama not acting ‘black enough’ after the Carolina primaries, now this comes to light. I was taken aback by the ludicrosity of this crap. He’s been in TV stations and interviewed across this land for over 30 years and makes a mistake like this? Come on Jesse!!!! I believe it was intentionally done so that this little whore could get some more camera time. So that this little sissy could let everyone know tat he’s sulking in the corner with sour grapes because this ONE campaign eclipsed BOTH of his in one fell swoop. I think it was his way to get back a Barack for the speech he gave on father’s day about black men needing to stand up and be real men. Take care of and nurture the children they made. To Jesse that was like a kick in the stomach…stomping on his toes…kicking him in the shins. Oh yeah, most of America has forgotten about the staff member he knocked up and hid away. That was what 8 or 9 years ago wasn’t it?

When’s the last time Jesse decorated for a birthday party? Went to a parent teacher conference? Went to a piano recital? …soccer game? …read a bedtime story? You see, Obama has the credentials to make the statements he made because he’s doing the things he says others ought to. He lets his constituents and staffers know tat he needs to get home every once in a while to see and spend time with his kids. Not have his organization send a check over every month. Don’t get m wrong…Obama was kicking me in the shins and stomping on my toes as well. However, rather than getting mad at him for telling the truth, I looked internally at myself and what I can do to change the future and my position as a father. I challenge other men out there to do the same. If you’re not a good dad, do your best to be the best one. If you’re a good dad, try to be a great one. It’s your calling, your responsibility, your duty.

Jesse…get a job…do something constructive with the rest of your life!

…oh yeah, take Al with you!

And stop the bitchassness [ I never thought I'd use that word, but it's so fitting here] !!

It’s just my opinion, but I’m not wrong!!!
