Taking Offense

Something to think about:

Princess of Swords

A friend of mine from high school has posted a couple of thought provoking questions on his Facebook page this weekend. I’ll allow you a moment to swallow your disbelief that

A. Finding one’s high school friends on FB is ever a good thing &

B. That anyone posts thought provoking questions and they do not lead to nasty arguments.

I swear both are possible.

Anyhow, miracles aside (I do happen to befriend awesome people fo lyfe), I was forced to admit something to myself this morning that was honestly unrelated in any way to his questions. But the provocation of thoughts sometimes draws out other thoughts. Thoughts are fun like that; they multiply.

I am capable of taking offense.

“So?” you ask. “Who ain’t?” But, I protest, I so frequently tell people I’m never offended by anything. Yet the truth, if I’m super honest with myself, is that…

These People Call Themselves “Conservative”

Ugh, reading this smug article and the smug comments section was almost too much to bear. You know the real reason the Left has been winning elections? The Left doesn’t throw their own under the bus for being “too liberal.” Liberals like Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid say ridiculous things on almost a daily basis but you don’t see liberals in the media mocking them and marginalizing them. In fact, they are heroes to the Left. You may not agree with the way Palin presents the conservative message but it obviously connects with a good chunk of the base. Is the GOP and conservatism in general in such good shape that people in the establishment media like The American Conservative and NRO and GOP leadership should be mocking and pushing a good portion of the votership away in order to make yourselves look good to people who will never vote Republican anyway? I’d say the answer is probably “no.”

Rep. Keith Ellison likens pro-amnesty fasters to Rosa Parks

This has to be the dumbest protest ever. What do they expect us to
say? “Oh no!!! We will allow criminals to become citizens if you don’t
starve yourself of your own free stupid will!!!!” Oh yeah, we will get right on that….

Cretinous: How twisted ingrates ‘honor’ Veterans Day

When I think about the kind of people these men and women were that had character and a sense of honor to lay down their own life to protect the freedoms we enjoy then I see these ingrate layabouts with a worthless college degree with their heads filled with anti-American garbage who aren’t worth the 75 cent condom their parents broke in order to get them into the world having the gall to trash them. It makes me sick.

Robert Reich claims more anger and division in US than during ‘commie witch hunts’; Knows why

Yes because the Reagan years of revitalized economy and the end of the Cold War belongs in the same category as wars and scandals.

Obama to present Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey with Presidential Medal of Freedom

What is with the world’s fascination with Oprah? This woman is nothing but a phony new age moronic platitude generator who somehow conned millions of bored housewives into buying her BS. I honestly want to puke when she talks about ‘spirituality’ with the flavor-of-the-month guru whose book she happens to be reading. I see this woman hob-nob with Eric Holder and talk about Trayvon Martin not being any different than a black kid decades ago who was killed by white supremacists and I realize that she really is no different than every other airheaded liberal celebrity who has ever stood before a microphone.
