Ignorance is in the mind of the beholder.

A friend asked me about my my intent on word press and asked if I was passionate or angry. He asked if I was trying push dialogue or diatribe.

Well I thought long and hard about that question.
I try to get along with everyone. But I have a right to express my opinion and others have their right to ignore me. They don’t have the right however to insult me or insult my integrity or my intelligence simply because I make a statement of how I feel about something. So I guess some of my comments may appear to be diatribe to some but they aren’t meant to be insulting like some. I believe that I am called to know the difference between right and wrong. As citizens of America through the words of Thomas Jefferson in the words of the Declaration of Independance against the tyranny of the King of England, we are called to stand up against tyranny and misuse of power when we see it. We also have the right to speak our mind under the US Constitution.
I fully support those who disagree with me. I do not however support their right to insult me or be abusive in their language towards myself or others. There comes a time where one must stand on his principles and speak his mind.
so having expressed that caveat, here is an opinion editorial addressed to a young woman from Canada.
When did it become law of the land that only progressives and liberals are the only intelligent people in the world.
When did it become common knowledge that Christian fundamentalists are ignorant fascists and don’t deserve to speak our mind and when we do that we should be shunned and insulted?
When did arrogance, and slinging insults at those of us who don’t fall into line with the left take over decency and working together?
Oh we’ll work with you until it becomes apparent that you don’t agree with us then we’ll throw all the mud and crap your way that we can.
And I’m called the ignorant one?
What a sad commentary on the United States and Canada in particular.
And since when does the forcing of two socialist policies by socialist politicians on the civilian population something that they didn’t want 70 years ago, or now, constitute that nation becoming Socialist?
And I’m called the ignorant one?
That would be like saying that all the people of Germany were Jew hating Nazis or all of Russian were in favor of Communism.
That would be like saying that Canada is a slave state to England and not free because they never had enough guts to stand up against an oppressive King like America did in 1776. That would be like saying Canadians are a bunch of gutless cowards because their politicians have never really stood up for anything and have always just done what the British crown told them to do even today Canada doesn’t do anything for it’s Allies or neighbors, just sucks off countries that are more successful and harder working. One could even say that if it wasn’t for it’s neighbor America to the south Canada wouldn’t have half what they do today.
But I have too many friends in Canada to ever say such a thing. Unfortunately there are some from Canada who apparently lack the class and tact to offer the same hand across the border to Americans.
And I’m the ignorant one?
Since when did it become ignorant or wrong to speak one’s mind in America or anywhere else. We are all about diversity and peace and harmony, unless its one of them there ignorant, stupid, fascist, fundamentalist Christians. Then let’s throw all the insults we can think of at them.
