White, Christian, Straight People Need To Shut Up...Is This True? Well, Is It?

"Phil Robertson, the Founding Father of the Duck Dynasty show on A&E, was interviewed for an article in GQ Magazine, and because he spoke of his beliefs in regards to Homosexuality and quoted the Bible, A&E has decided to suspend him indefinitely from the show because they got some pressure from the homosexual rights organization, GLAAD.

We are not writing this article today to continue on with the story, but to take on the underlying truth here. The truth that the racist pendulum in the United States has swung to the other side. Yes! We said it! To be white, Christian or heterosexual in America (or God forbid, all 3) today is to be suppressed. If you fall into any of those categories, you better watch what you say, no matter what you think because otherwise, you are going to get the brunt of everyone else’s opinion. In that battle, you will lose.

Let’s think about this for a minute. Currently, we are getting ready to take down the Mount Soledad Cross in California because it’s offensive, neighbors protest a family for their Christmas Lights on their own house by sending a hate letter because it’s offensive, many Christian military personnel are no longer allowed to pray because it’s offensive, and we could give you a hundred more recent examples, but you get the point. We have gone to the complete other side to try and please the minority in our country, and in doing so, the majority are quickly becoming the minority."

As much as I hate to say it, it sure seems to be true recently (OK, more than just recently). What happened to everyone having an equal say under the 1st amendment? A right to our own opinion? I respect your right to your opinion, why can't I expect the same treatment in return?

I personally agree with you, but I think you are not seeing the whole picture. You see the censorship being done by the government and the media and question what right do they have to silence legal voices. The truth is, it is not the voice that they are censoring, but your mind. They are going to silence your voice, but they also demand that you no longer have any ideas that might be different than what they had dictated you must think. As long as you continue to allow them to slap you down everytime you speak an opinion that does not follow the official line set forth upon you, you will eventually shut your mouth, never to speak against them, until you have joined the rest of the mindless, heartless drones in bowing down before the dictates handed down upon your soulless existence.

"You can not stand alone when only the collective is allowed. You must not differ from your Master's voice and expect to survive" is their daily mantra that they insist you obey.

What I say is, "You can not lose what you refused to defend, nor can you regain what you have silently allowed removed."

Well said. Which is why a number of people were surprised by this thread...I intended it to be a vehicle for tolerance, when they expected vitriol. In fact, I had one anonymous person give me red karma along with a nasty comment, only to turn right around and give me a green with a surprised type of comment about my not really having an AGENDA. My only agenda is to let people know they really DO have a voice, and that it needs to be continually exercised to prevent losing it!
Unless I am mistaken, you celebrate your birthday 2 weeks before me...I am end of July! Not as young as you, though...
