   Isn’t freedom of speech grand — unless its your ox being gored.

   Racism? Those pictures aren’t racist. A picture of Condoleezza Rice dressed up like Aunt Jemima and referring to Colin Powell as Uncle Tom is racist.

   Intolerance? Putting out a death threat for a cartoonist that dares to depict Mohammed or on Salman Rushdie for writing an unflattering book about Islam is intolerance. All the while Christians are expected to silently support anti-Christian art through the federally funded National Endowments of the Arts. And since we all have to be tolerant and inclusive, cities can ban nativity scenes while allowing crescents and menorahs during the Christmas, oh excuse me, Holiday season.

   If you don’t like the humor, click on over to Daily Kos and find something more to your taste.

   Wow! Isn’t it amazing the amount of hot air a group of pictures can generate. With that amount of hot air, we may have found our alternative energy source. I enjoyed reading the posts and as always, some contain good points and some not so good. All in all an interesting discussion on a Memorial Day weekend. It seems fitting that the sacrifices of our military has spawned this type of freedom of speech. Have nice weekend.

   Hello Angela,

   Wow! There’s absolutely nothing funny about this post. I’m deeply saddened that nobody seems to understand why this post is so offensive to those of us who have been on the wrong end of tasteless, insensitive jokes.

   Divided, we will fail because a house divided cannot stand.

   Sigh. Texas Truth, you really don’t back up what you say. In your recent comment, you say “good All American human beings in Texas do not trash people write or speak what they believe, whether is be a political commentary, news, comedy or humor.”

   However, on your blog, you call me and others who find this posting offensive “the great unwashed ‘liberal’ masses.” Unwashed? This sounds like you are trashing liberals and going back on your word. Either that, or you are not a good person from Texas.

   I never said that people cannot speak their minds. If I commented, it was because I had something to say. I totally support freedom of speech. I was just exercising my right. I support yours, and I was just voicing my opinion. I have no problem with you posting yours. I was just replying. If you found that hostile, I apologize.

   I do not care about conservative radio. While I don’t like their message, they can say whatever they want. I don’t care because I don’t listen.

   No one here has the same idea of what is offensive. There is no blanket label on what is offensive or not. People can find something ignorant, racist, or offensive while others find it suitable. Does that mean that either party has the moral right or authority over the other? No. It’s called an opinion. That is free speech.

   Just because I (or others) have a liberal viewpoint doesn’t mean I’m ignorant or an idiot. We just have different ideas. Not everyone in America believes the same thing. That is our right. I believe everyone agrees with that.

   I would also love to meet people from this site in person. I am not afraid to support my opinion and I would have nothing to fear. I am rational and calm, and I don’t think I would end up getting my ‘ass’ kicked (sorry for the language).

   Patrick: You speak the same old rhetoric that has become the talking points of every liberal democrat (Yes, I do mean the great unwashed LIBERAL masses). Bottom line: Lay off the lady and her blog!! She is too nice to say so, but you have worn out your welcome here. Why don’t you start you own blog where anyone can come, read your views and take you to task on them. As far as you having a different opinion, you have that right, but you need to bone up on some manners and how you present them when your are in someone else’s house (blog). There is a way to disagree with someone that leaves them with their dignity and the sense that they have been respected even with the differences. That is why you would get your ass kicked down here in Texas (and anywhere else that has good, upstanding All American men live, regardless if they were conservative or liberal. You owe the lady a very sincere apology for your actions.

   Its Patrick’s affected sighs that tip the scale for me, Texas. I can take a stupid idiot up to a point. There are so many of them, we all have to put up with a few every day. But those sissy sighs…
7. Patrick says:

   May 28, 2008 at 7:04 am

   Speaking of my actions, I never cursed except to quote you. Look back at ptg’s posts for offensiveness. Look at your all bold post a few back, Texas. Those are offensive to Angela as well if you call mine crude. I never went to personal attacks until I had already been hit by several.

   “Its Patrick’s affected sighs that tip the scale for me, Texas. I can take a stupid idiot up to a point. There are so many of them, we all have to put up with a few every day. But those sissy sighs…” – This is a perfect example of what you say I do, but you fail to look at yourselves. I can take your opinions and rhetoric, but I can’t take ad hominem arguments and personal insults.

   Saying a post is ignorant (look to my first one on this comment list) did not mean that Angela is ignorant. I know she didn’t make these images. She thought they were funny when some one sent them to her. That is fine. I was voicing my opinion which does not agree.

   If I owe an apology, then both ptg and Texas Truth do as well. Tell me how I have not treated her with dignity. Please, do. I fail to see that anywhere. Most of my earlier posts were with Tracy, anyway. How have my manners not been good? Please, show me where. I have apologized at times necessary where I replied to the wrong post. I don’t see how either of you two can back that up. I have already explained my actions.

   I have never condemned Angela, despite what you say.

   I’ve disagreed with alot of what Patrick has said here, simply because have different views and opinions on things. But I’ve found him to be a complete gentleman during this conversation and fail to find any reason for the nastiness being hurled in his direction.

    Thank you very much, Tracy. You have been a very rational person in this post as well and I enjoyed our conversation. Your points made me think, and I learned a lot about and from your and other people’s viewpoints. I feel that sometimes I may have been a little too aggressive in this posting, and if people took me the wrong way, I am sorry.

    This was a good discussion, though I wish it had remained on-topic.

14. Texas Truth says:

    May 29, 2008 at 5:26 pm

    Yes, let’s get back on topic and Yes, they are funny. Post more of them if you find any. In fact, if you find any more, send them to me and I will post them on my blog. They may be closer to fact than we all want to realize. Think about it.

    I promise to post as many controversial photos that I think are funny as I can! Feel free (if you are reading) to send them to me and I am more than willing to oblige. My e-mail addy is angelaaa[at]cox[dot]net…

    Forgive me if I can’t spell right now. I’m on my 3rd half glass of wine and my 4 year old is hanging on my left arm while the 2 year old is asking me, “where’d my juicy goed?”

    I’m pretty ticked at my teen right now.. and according the weather bulletins from this morning we are supposed to get hit by tornadoes! I’m NOT looking forward to THAT at all!! I will tell you guys that the sky (and PTG will vouch for me on this) is BROWN. It’s not looking good. In fact.. I can smell fowl weather all the way from Texas!!

    What do y’all have planned tonight? Me.. I’m getting in the shower before this crap hits with my little one so we can have a fresh kinda clean right before the electricity goes out. (And it will as I am predicting from the BROWN in the sky)

    Ok… BRB… I hear THUNDER!! :)

    This is just sad… why perpetrate the myth that Obama is muslim? He’s more Christian than I am, for God’s sake! This is just plain stupid, not funny.

    I hope, for all our sakes, that he does win. We’ll see that he believes in America, the Constitution, and our people more than Bush and Company.
23. Texas Truth says:

    June 8, 2008 at 9:01 pm

    Jeff: I hope you are kidding. Obama will be the worse thing to happen to this country. Why do you think our enemies what him as President? Are you willing to bet your security that he will be able to handle the wackos of the world? For God’s sake, he couldn’t ever control Wright and can’t control his wife.

    Happy to see this dialogue. Obama wrote about his *Muslim* childhood in Indonesia. See “Dreams From My Father,” his autobio. He may regret it now, But no one would have known about it, if he had not told it. And now he is trying to distance himself from his own account. Further, Odinga is Obama’s Kenyan cousin by his father’s side. Obama had enlisted Dick Morris’ help to create havoc in Kenya to defeat their President, Kbaki. They failed but many people were killed there as a result of their interference.

    My latest article outlines Obama’s ultimate agenda for America and the world. Read it and search for info about /global ecovillages./ These are serious political times. And Americans, especially, need to be very aware of the dangers we face through Obama’s candidacy. Feel free to contact me anytime. I answer my mail. Thank you. God’s continued peace.

    Rev. L. Dowell –

    I’d be interested in your thoughts on two other posts of mine.

    1.) The one about Oprah
    2.) The one about the “N” word

    Thank you so much.

    After OBAMA WINS, who’s going to pay for all of this stuff to be built????
27. ptg says:

    I don’t think any Christian would be unwilling to accept a person who had switched from following Mohammed to follow Jesus. (Prodigal son, ‘more rejoicing’, etc.) But the true convert wouldn’t lie about their previous adherence to a different faith.

    I don’t know if I can count a Rev. Wright style church, which preaches hate and seems to value blackness above Jesus-ness as being Christian in anything but name. I don’t like Obama. I don’t respect him, either. He has told too many lies and repented of too few of them to suit me.

    We often hear that we aren’t supposed to judge others, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use our judgment in choosing a leader. The biblical admonition to ‘judge not’ means that we shouldn’t condemn others to hell; that is God’s call. I fell free to judge Obama unfit to be president. Whether he should go to Hell or not isn’t on the ballot.
