This is how our government handled Swine Flu in the '70′s. Interestingly, after taking the "shot," people got infected instead of "well." Nincompoops.

 
When dissent becomes hate

I’ve got a couple of questions: First, Is there a difference between who a person is, and what a person does? I ask this question because I see a growing trend in American culture. If I object to a behavior or disagree with someone, I am told that I am insecure in my beliefs; that I am intolerant; that my dissent is a cloak for bigotry. In its extreme form, this view says that my objections belie an intense hatred for those with whom I disagree.

The logic seems to be: you object to my behavior, therefore, you hate me. Does that line of reasoning seem rational to you? Let’s give it a test drive. I object to the behavior my children sometimes exhibit and I am quick to correct it, but ask anyone who has seen me with my children and they will tell you the love we have for one another is obvious. In fact, the correction of my children is evidence of my love for them. So the “hatred” scenario doesn’t really hold water when speaking of objecting to a particular behavior, at least in my case.

Why am I getting into this? Because there are a number of people in this country (some of them professing “Christians”) whose inflammatory rhetoric belies a hatred for homosexuals. That extreme view has become the rule and standard by which some in the gay movement judge anyone who believes the gay lifestyle is wrong.

Social liberals have picked up on this and used this tactic to minimize anyone who attempts to enter the debate. In the process, Christians who openly dissent are vilified as hateful, bigoted, unloving, etc. The campaign has been amazingly effective in intimidating Christians, (or anyone else who disagrees) and bolstering a negative stereotype for those who dissent. The message is loud and clear: "Christians hate gays!" For that matter, anyone who objects to the gay lifestyle (or by extension gay marriage) hates gays.

What about you? Perhaps you object to my moralizing about homosexual behavior. Maybe you think I’m wrong to hold these views. Should I be as the extremists are and decide that because you object to my views, your objection means that you hate me? How does objecting to a behavior, or disagreeing about what is right and wrong become hate? To accuse you of hating me because you think my view of homosexuality is wrong would be an extreme form of hyperbole on my part. Yet that is precisely the auspices under which the radical gay movement and the cultural “elite” are operating.

If you live in the Louisville metropolitan area, there’s a good chance you know who Jim "Danger Boy" Bulleit is. There’s a chance that you watch his wacky morning newscasts on WLKY-32.

Well, you used to.

For myself, I looked forward to the zany antics Mr. Bulleit brings to morning broadcasts- especially since they ditched that ditsy Abby Miller and jolly Paul Moses, and replaced them with a corpse- like John Boel.

I don’t care much for John Boel. Especially when he was so smug and arrogant and condescending during his anchoring of the evening news on WLKY. Of course, that was before he got arrested and demoted.

Yeah, that whacky Boel decided to do him some drunk driving.

I’ll give WLKY credit, they did report their anchor's arrest and even ran his mugshot. But, I’m going to guess they’re co-owned by F.A.D.D. (formerly against drunk driving), because Boel’s punishment for endangering innocent lives was to be moved to the morning newscast.

Oh, the humanity! Not the morning newscast! Why am I going on about this now? Well, once before, I commented on how no one really seems to get MADD anymore about drunks.

That was when I was horrified at the lack of response to Page Grable’s murder of a classmate while drunk driving and the lack of response to a former drunk driver running for the Jeffersonville City Court Judge.

My point is that when I was in High School, MADD was enraged and preaching the evils of drunk driving with all the zealousness of a Sunday revival. But, Page Grable was released less than a year after murdering someone with her deadly weapon/car. And now we have John zomBoe, who, admittedly, didn't kill anyone, but was nonetheless taking risks with other people's lives and was merely moved to a different time slot.

But what has this got to do with the lovable buffoon Jim Bulleit?

Well, Bulleit was arrested after allegedly pocketing four candy eggs. For that, he gets taken off the air. No one could have died from his theft. Heck, no one could have even suffered malnutrition. But he’s off.

This of course isn’t SADD (Somewhat Against Drunk Driving)’s fault. It isn’t John "One for the Road" Boel’s fault.

No, I blame it on society. The same society that voted an admitted drug using, no-experience, possibly-illegal alien into the White House on a bunch of empty promises. We have some pretty mixed up priorities in this country, and if we keep on going like this, we’re going to end up with egg on our face.
