Yup, nothing exciting. Just me talking about my life.
I am turning in an application tomorrow to Pizza Hut. I would be taking
orders and typing them into a computer. Decent looking opportunity. I am
currently jobless.
I am probably going to start College this summer. I plan to take out
loans and get a car and a Notebook. Around here those are necessities,
not toys.
On an Anglican forum I frequent, there is a debate on the "ordination"
of women to the priesthood. And after explaining our position from both
the Scriptures and the Teachings of the Christian Church throughout the
ages, those in favor of female ordination have started calling us Sexist.
I have also noticed this type of thing in the political realm as well.
On the current debate on illegal aliens, conservatives are often labeled
as "racist nativists".
I am neither a sexist nor a racist nativist.
1) I believe that Women can hold any secular position she desires.
However I believe there is one realm where women are at all limited. It
is clear in Scripture, that in the Church, women are not to be in
authority over men. I do not view women as inferior but simply different.
2) I am not a racist. Anyone who comes to our country through legal
means is welcome regardless of race. I simply do not support a porous
border for Terrorists to walk across. I also do not like the drain
illegals put on our economic system. I say again, if you get in line and
prove who you are, and prove you can contribute to our contry. Welcome in.
Name Calling is Silly.
I intentionally have started to listen to both Conservative and Liberal
Radio. I want to be able to say that my conservatism is one of
intelligence. I want to hear what people who disagree with me have to
say before I pass judgement on them.
I am Listening to Ed Shultz on Air America Radio. He is talking about
the Dixie Chicks taking back their Apology. Here are two things he has
said to this point.
1) That they were brave in doing so.
2) That they as Americans have the Right to say what they want. And that
it is foolish for people to boycott them, and spineless for radio
stations to refuse to play them
Here is my response.
1) It isn't brave. I say what I think all the time, even when I disagree
with the President. What is the Big deal? There is no Big Brother Bush,
and I am not afraid. I say what I think. And they are free to do so as well.
2) Yes, as Americans, they have the right to say what they will.
Absolutely. As a Conservative, the freedom of expression is one of the
rights I hold dear. However, I also support the freedom of expression of
those that boycott the Dixie Chicks as well. The Radio Stations can play
them if they want, or refuse to play them if they want. Freedom goes
both ways.
They can say what they say, and we can protest them. Welcome to America
Mr. Shultz.
