The Ol' Fat Guy Blathers On

Is "White Privilege" The New "Racism?"     Jesse Jackson ~~ and fellow racist Al Sharpton ~~have found a new buzzword!  For decades these two "urban blacknecks" have used 'racism' as a primary method to incite unrest between any~~ and all ~~races in America.  With his usual blusterful blather wearing thin, Jackson has taken to using the phrase, " white privilege " as his 'weapon-of-choice!' Better than his 'MasterCard!'     As his next opportunity for several seconds of fame, Jackson has voiced his disapproval of prominent individuals voicing their religious convictions.  The 'chosen'~~ Phil Robertson of Duck Commander ~~committed his misdeed during his interview with GQ Magazine.  Not his " GLAAD ness" misdeed, but the misdeed of equalizing himself with the negros he worked with during his teenage years: “I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we liv...

Did You Actually Read The GQ Article?     Before all the whining continues about what you heard that Phil Robertson said, please read the 'GQ' article .  For me the article was pretty much straight (apologies to the ' happiness ' community) forward.  A mid-60s guy who actually says what he thinks without dancing around any topic on the table.  A guy who took 24 years, lot'sa booze, lot'sa drugs with lot'sa wild women to finally hit bottom and discover that finding religion was the only way out of the hole he'd dug for himself.     So.... why did Phil 's opinions and comments cause such a kerfuffle?!?  I really think the ' happiness-alphabet (LGBT) ' community really jumped the gun on this one.  Christianity has been around for 2,000 years~~ about 80% of the current US population ~~ while OPEN homosexuality~~ the 'happiness' gang ~~only for the past 100 years or so with about 2% of the population.  How can said community...

Phil Robertson Gets "The Axe!"     When I got on the interweb to check email at 3:30AM, I was 'hit in the face' with this subject line from one of my twitter 'friends:' A&E Suspends “Duck Dynasty”, Phil Robertson; Takes Away His Freedom of Speech To say the least, I was speechless, and I gotta tell ya, that's hard to do!  After I read " Army Vet Chic 's" blog entry I went on to do my own research.     Phil Robertson ~~ as the Duck Dynasty patriarch ~~ admitted to finally hitting rock-bottom and then accepting Jesus as his Savior: "I myself am a product of the '60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the Bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just bec...
