I am officially disgusted with what are country is becoming.
A man from Home Depot was fired for wearing a pin that said “God Bless America.” Now how is that so offensive to atheists and liberals that this man had to be fired? Did he really impose his religious views so predominantly that it insulted shoppers? This is similar to the woman who was told to remove her American Flag from her window when her son was serving overseas. Why do we persecute those who are just living out their lives as Christians or as patriots?
Christians are the most persecuted people in our country today. It is not the Muslims or the Jews. Why is it that stores can’t say “Merry Christmas” or sell “Christmas Trees.” I am fed up with these liberals and I will not have my freedoms oppressed because they are afraid that it might offend some Muslim or atheist. They have the freedom to do, say and protest anything there heart desires, but when a conservative or Christian expresses their beliefs they are instantly ridiculed and attacked for simply expressing a different view. I am not insensitive to others views, I just have an opinion of my own.
It comes down to the double standard and political correctness our society has today.
A lady can’t hang a flag to show support for her country and son, but anti-war liberals can protest at soldier’s funerals and show truly hateful signs.
A man can’t wear a pin that says “God Bless America”, but atheists can hang posters all over New York City saying “A million New Yorkers Do Fine without God…Are You.”

One that I find very disrespectful are the posters that say “What goes around comes around.” Why is okay for these people to blatantly disrespect the men and women who put their lives on the line day in and day out for them just to be ridiculed by the people they are protecting?
This is the country we live in today….and I am disgusted.
I will not shy away from my faith or my conservative beliefs because it might offend some liberal, atheist, or Muslim. They offend me, my fellow Marines, and my country every day with hate speech and protests of their own. I will not stand for this double standard any longer.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS. GOD BLESS OUR FIGHT AGAINST TERRORISM AND RADICAL ISLAM.

Home Depot is irrelevant. They make up reasons to fire people to instill fear and the pin would be grounds for termination under SOP. But persecuting Christians is fair game in America today. But some of the people protesting the war dead are Christian groups. As for New York, the Godless in the city should enjoy it's collapse.
ReplyDeletei love it barrett. that was fantastic bro.
ReplyDeletePlease don't take isolated incidents of someone being fired for displaying their opinion while being a representative of a company or one woman being wrongly harassed and spin it to look like every conservative or every patriot is being harassed while society condones tasteless displays.
ReplyDeleteThe tasteless displays are few and far between. I see plenty of American flags flying above houses and places of business, I see plenty of Christian bumper stickers on my way to and from work. I don't see hateful posters or protests except for isolated incidents on the news. I see people wrongly harassed for their beliefs occasionally on the news.
Pretending to be a victim of an anti-American, anti-religious regime doesn't even make sense. Christians and patriots are a majority in the US, there's certainly no other place in the world that I'd call home.
As for the "God bless dead soldiers" idiots who use their right to free speech to annoy the rest of us, ignoring annoying people is the best way to make them lose their effectiveness. I thought we learned this back in grade school.
Barrett,
ReplyDeleteI am very proud of you.
Love, Mom
Talk about indoctrination of children--the "Fag Sin = 9-11" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" idiots are obviously not "anti-war liberals," they're the brainwashed followers of your fellow Christian Fred Phelps:

Let me make sure I follow: God Bless America (check), God Bless the Troops (okay), God Bless Our Fight Against Terrorism and Radical Islam (hold on...do you honestly think God is on board with all this killing--particularly all the innocent civilians, you know, little kids and old people?) And what is the difference between a radical Muslim and someone like Fred Phelps exactly?
