I got an interesting comment today from someone rather local to me. This person did not take enough pride in statements made to take the credit for the same, and did not leave a name, but that's okay; I have a tracker. While this person lacks the pride necessary to sign a name to an inflamatory comment, this person has the cheek to claim Jesus, yet feel superior to others and mock those who are not as fortunate. I was also invited to respond, which I did when I first read the comment, but I will take my response a step further. Here's the comment:
"Oh Miss Juli! Once again you just crack me up :) If Mitt doesn't win this
election you can pretty much kiss the USA goodbye, but then, you would really
like that, wouldn't you? You are the type that doesn't really give two shits
about the flag, thinks God doesn't belong....ANYWHERE, and is in love with those
wonderful goverment handouts! Of course you love Obama! Go ahead and attack me
with your wisdom......I can't wait :)"
This neighborly sentiment was spewed at me via
this post. It has to do with Mitt Romney, and his recent comments to the effect that forty-seven percent of Americans are people who do not "matter". Since, for such a short comment, there are so many wackyassed bits of mean spirited nonsense, I will analyze the wackyassed bits one by one. First off, my extreemely local troll, I have been around for quite a while. I have voted in lots of elections, and I have been happy at the outcomes of some, and disappointed by others. Geesh......I was here, and I was American, when Ronald Reagan won two elections! If that wasn't nauseating enough to make me "kiss the USA goodby" why would I "kiss the USA goodbye" if Romney won? I am a citizen here, and I have a right to live here! If you don't like that, YOU can kiss the USA goodbye!
As for not giving "two shits" about the flag and thinking that "God" does not belong....ANYWHERE; just WHO do you think you are talking to? You have no idea where my husband and I have spent our lives before you met us! How dare you? Were you one of the people who spat on Vietnam vets after that conflict?
I stated in my original answer to you that if "God" wishes to be somewhere, he or she can certainly find a way to do that without the use of your religious doctrines or mine. Thomas Jefferson felt the same way, and as a matter of fact, in 1963, there were two court cases that made their way to the Supreme Court, one was the famous Madalyn Murry O'Hair case, in Baltimore, Maryland; the other was
in Pennsylvania. The cases were combined, and the Supreme Court of our great nation ruled that it is not constitutional for people like you to bring your "God", whoever the hell he is, to school, and harrass and annoy people like me with "him", or harrass and annoy people like my children. Chances are quite strong that you, personally, have never attended a public school where "God" was actually present legally. Unless he enrolls as a student, works in the building, or signs in at the office, he should not be lurking in the hall, anyway. So there you have it: it is not unamerican, or uncaring about the flag at all for me to frown upon religious nonsense being brought into public schools. If you want a Christian school, why don't you do what other religions do, and send your children to a private school?
Government handouts........I don't get any. Unless you think public school, a library, roads, policemen, and a health department are "handouts". They are not. Yes, I have guardianship of a child that neither my husband or I popped out. We merely have guardianship of him because we care what happens to him. No foster care stipends, so adoption subsidies. We took responsibility for him because we care. Is that so hard to understand? Seems to me that the "God" you keep talking about yet ignoring at the same time would care about this child, too. If you don't like that, perhaps you should shut up about God. Read the Sermon on the Mount. Study the Beatitudes. Also, didn't Jesus, himself, say that it is "harder for a rich man to get to heaven than it is for a camel to get through a needle's eye"? Jesus had no problems with the poor, and he had no problems with the idea of giving people what you call "handouts", either. If you really love Him so much and wish to follow in His footsteps, I suggest you stop mocking those who are not as fortunate as yourself. You are beginning to look and sound evil.
"Of course you love Obama"...........You know, local troll, I can "love" and vote for any candidate I choose. That's another one of my constitutional rights that you seem to think you deserve, as a votor, but that I somehow do not deserve. Get over yourself!
Lastly, I never invited you to use my first name. I generally only invite people with whom I share friendship to do that, and you have shown me none. Please don't do it anymore. And a word of warning; if my children hear one word about your diety in their school, the school will be hearing from my attorney. After your kind and evangelical comments to me, I do not want to hear about your sweet spiritual ideas ever again.
