Behavior Loathing

Did you know that is it ok to dislike/loathe a BEHAVIOR  without disliking or loathing the PERSON choosing that behavior? AND if a person  is offended that you dislike their behavior and that person globalizes it as  part of their demographic identity, then THEY ARE THE ONE THAT IS  “PROFILING”!!!!! I am sick of people hiding behind some FEDGOV created shield of  identity armor that makes them immune to criticism and consequences!!!!!!!!

Look folks, I will spell it out for you. The behaviors  like: lying, cheating, stealing, sponging, manipulating, TAKE TAKE TAKE, me me  me are grouped into a fast growing subculture of “societal leaches and sorry  folks who don’t want to be NOT SORRY”. I cannot tolerate or accept these  behaviors! AND I really get upset with the folks whose behaviors and choices  support this growing subculture of societal leaches. I am fighting poor choices,  NOT PEOPLE!!!! Get it? Do ya? Really?

A MISTAKE is a ONE TIME event. I have and I expect people  to make make mistakes and learn from them. That is called growing and growing  up! HOWEVER, the 2^nd or 3^rd 66^th time IS NOT A  MISTAKE!!!!! It is a way of life.

What I am talking about is the ever growing acceptance of  poor choices by a rapidly growing subculture of societal leaches. Those are the  folks that KNOW that they don’t have to do anything productive and can exist how  they please without ANY REGARD for the culture that is SUPPORTING the nation  that enables their sorry butts!

AND YES! I get it! There are folks who hate folks and hurt  folks because of some particular personal or group distinction like race. You know what? THAT IS WRONG! It is also  WRONG to use a particular identity like RACE as a shield of immunity from  consequences for poor choices!

I don’t dislike a color. I don’t dislike a gender. I LOVE  EVERY PERSON on this earth as God has commanded me to do so! I do and I will.  But, I don’t have to love their behaviors and choices and I will fight against  those behaviors and choices! Here is a little initialism that might help:  Q.T.I.P. — Quit Taking It Personally!!!

Dear Friends,

As I carefully watch and listen to the debates of the day  with regard to political party and which candidate is right for the Presidency,  I cringe. Neither a man, nor parties are the leaders of this nation. The people  are the appointed and true leaders and the elected are the representatives for  us.

For FAR too long, we have shirked, ignored and avoided our  responsibility in leading this nation. Praise God that there are differences of  opinion! Praise God that we have people who have different skills, abilities and  ways of getting things done! That is part of the glory that is America. BUT, my  dear American friends, WE are the leaders. Absent of our vigilant voice of  oversight, the avarice of man will become drunk with the power of unbridled  action and will certainly end in destruction.

Please find no comfort or complacency in a candidate just  because they are of a party. I know it is becoming distasteful to some “progressives” who look only at the present and “forward”, but only an ignorant,  arrogant and conceited fool would so boldly blaze a path while actively  rejecting the maps and guidance of the past. I am so harsh because if you wish  to run blindly and fall off a cliff ALL BY YOURSELF, then charge forward!!  However, you want to take me with you and I say no! That is where your rights  end. The child that is still the American nation and its radical concept of  governance still needs care and protecting and a caring set of 300 million  parents. If you believe it is important to research things for your own  children, then that sage choice will certainly be good for our young nation. So  I beg you to look for wisdom of the many, many guides of the human past as well  as the most ancient, God, to provide the higher success probability for our  steps forward.

Far too many believe that the act of voting is the  important aspect of the right of being a citizen. My friends, marking and  casting that ballot isn’t the important part. The responsibility that is the  inseparable twin to the casting of a ballot is the heartbeat of that particular  right of the citizen. That responsibility should be an arduous, unpleasant,  uncomfortable and contentious task of vetting the candidate. The process of choosing the best path  for all is the critically important part. A vote with no personal knowledge and  understanding of the foundation for that vote is treason. That certainly is the  case if your vote is made for the “a, me rica” selfishness rather than for all  of the future generations of America.

With that, I will close by offering some wisdom from the  1600’s. Rene Descartes exemplified the notion to question everything that is or  is believed to be. Only in that pursuit are we able to get close to reality and  truth. Certainly, that is still wise to do in our day and age. I implore you not  to rest in what you hear from a glowing box called the TV, or from the community  organizers or even family and friends. Chances are great that the people and  organizations have a significant vested interest in luring you in to act as they  wish. You have a job to do and a  responsibility to keep that promises made in blood by our forefathers so many  years ago.
