My "Manifesto" for FB and Twitter.

I got a lot of people following me on FB and Twitter.
That's great, I can always accept people who agree, or who can disagree civilly.

But there are some people that I CANNOT tolerate well...if at all!

SO, without further ado, let me make the following statements.

I AM NOT A "POLLYANNA."
Do not expect my comments to be sunshine and rainbows and unicorns.  That isn't me!
I am more likely to debunk stuff, to correct spelling and grammar, than I am to post a "happy" post.
Get over it; it's what I am!

IF your page is filled with profanity, anti-Semitic rants, Anti-Christian rants, Propaganda, The "N" word or "B" word...Debunked junk, Debunked Memes, or the like, expect to be be unfollowed at best.

If you are calling everyone a racist, expect the same.

IF you're calling Islam a RACE, and you're hyping "Gun control", don't expect favors.

If you support Illegal Immigration (IE, crossing the border without proper authorization or deliberately overstaying a visa), MS-13, Hamas, Jihadists like Linda Sarsour, Terrorists in General, Communists, you're not likely to be welcomed with open arms. If you ascribe to conspiracy theories, you're likely to be disappointed. PETA members are worthless. Vegans are welcome, but do NOT try to get me to change diet. Homosexuality is a SIN. It is perverted. And if you support polygamy, bigamy or pedophilia, DO NOT even bother! The same goes for Islam being a "Religion of Peace." The evidence strongly suggests otherwise. You're an atheist? avoid name-calling and we'll get along fine. You're pushing impeachment because you don't like Trump? Read your Constitution. Be prepared to back up your statements. And be ready to have them debunked. Don't try to heap "White guilt" on me. That is something that will get you removed quickly! If you support RIOTING or Violence because you're not getting your way, you're no friend of mine. And members or supporters of "Planned Parenthood" -- which is nothing but murder for hire -- You get NO BROWNIE POINTS FROM ME. That's pretty much it. To sum it up, "Don't be a dick." That's my Manifesto -- AS I SEE IT.

The "Queen's English" --and the word I'd like stricken from the vocabulary of humans everywhere.

Honestly, I never thought I would join the movement to get a word banned.  There are words I do not use, out of respect for others, or because I do not agree with the usage.  PERIOD.
Oh, there are a lot of words I don't like because the meanings have changed and have become objectionable.  Gay is one of those.  Silly at one time meant "happy," not funny or foolish.
In Britain, fags are just that -- fags.  Cigarettes. 

We pick up or mannerisms from those with whom we associate.  Some words are now used as slang (Gay, Pervert, Fag.)  You can use putz, dickhead, "pussy" is in common use (even though it now vastly altered from the original meaning of cat.)  And let's not forget Dick, Johnson and Meat.

Some words have been borrowed from other languages.  Squaw, for one.  I've never used it.  I know the meaning, but I find that words like girl, maiden, lady or woman are sufficient.

This brings me to the "Queen's English."  From time to time, certain words and phrases that are uttered by the common people are picked up... and ultimately discarded.  Example include "Shock and awe", "Awesome", "Bae" -- Well, I Hope she's never uttered that last one. 

Cassius Clay (AKA Mohammed Ali) once said, "I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee."
It's the same with words.  The can float, eloquent, lacy and delicate.  They can be crude and crass.  Or they can sting, injure.  And in the case of bullying, they can kill.

This brings me to the word I want removed from the English Language.  Nay, from EVERY LANGUAGE that has such a concept.  And not really just one word, but its variants.

Allow me to describe the word and what is wrong.  I won't give the word until later.

The word was based on a concept which was largely accepted in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries.
Most of the Civilized word has vanquished the concept from practice.  Not all.  But most.  The UK, the US, Canada, Japan, Europe, most of Asia (exception is India, and they are working toward it.)
Australia. Not so sure about Africa, but I don't get much info on that continent.

The word if often improperly used.  It has become profane.  It has become perverted.  It's an easy insult, kind of like "N****r."  Honestly, I'm not sure people even know what it means, anymore.
It's sloughed off on anyone who disagrees.  If you so much as say a word that sounds like another, you're labeled.  If you so much as accidentally associate with someone in specific groups, or live next to one, you're labeled.  Proclaimed guilty without a trial.  Ostracized. 

OK.  You've got the idea.  Now, what's the word?
RACIST.

You don't like people from Germany?  That is not racism.  That may be xenophobia.  Or you may have specific reasons you don't like them. Maybe you lost family in a concentration camp in WWII.
Or do you not like the possibility that they are speaking of you in another language? 

You don't like people from Mexico?  That's NOT racism.  It may be Xenophobia.  You may not like the idea of people speaking about you in Spanish -- when you don't understand it.  Or you may have had encounters with gangs from there or gangs made up of Hispanics. 

You don't like blacks?  Did you have a run-in with someone who grabbed your money?  Shot you?
Killed your family?  Your experiences are going to affect your view.  This is prejudice, not racism.
You don't want a Muslim next door?  You think they'll kill your dog, accuse you of being hateful?
That isn't racism.  It may be Xenophobia if they're from another country or culture.  But Muslims are NOT a race.   Haven't you noticed?  Skin-tone has NOTHING to do with this group.  Not a D*** thing!

The old method of identifying race had 3 races:  Black, Mongoloid, and White.  Jews are considered a race, all connected, somehow, by Abraham.  And to use the term "Indian" -- they are also considered a race.

Honestly, we need to stop look at each other as "races".  We need to realize we're a Species...Human.
Or Humanoid, as you prefer.  Homo Sapiens.  THIS is what we are.

Stop trying to find racism in everything.  Because if you look, you WILL find it, whether or not it is actually there.

Screaming "RACISM" just increases my resolve to ban the word. 
If you can't find good, you have serious problems.
If all you can do is call somebody racist, you have a VERY WEAK ARGUMENT.
And that's the case...AS I SEE IT.

So, the self-appointed "Chiefs" of politically correct speech and all things "offensive" are at it again. NOW, they want to destroy a monument. They want to sandblast away the carvings in Stone Mountain.

Look buds, there were millions spent on creating this monument and you are now calling it "Offensive" and "Racist."

GEEZUS, folks... and you pansy-ass pussies who can only be called sheeple or just plain idiots, stand by without so much as a sound of protest... have you been so thoroughly brainwashed that you can't even utter a word? Have you really become so STUPID?

It "offends" you? This is what I mean, you pansy-ass pussies, you libtards who think giving in to everything is going to help the cause of peace. Did you learn NOTHING from WWII? Did you even study history, Britain, Prime Minster Chamberlain? Look what happened... They tried to appease an insatiable greed of a man who was ultimately bent upon getting rid of Jews and ruling the world with an iron fist.

Let me tell you something, folks. I am appalled at all of you. Your sensibilities have been hurt, so you sue or demand reparations for real or imagined wrongs of 150 years past? Of 200? 500?

I used to watch SNL. They had the skits of news. And at the end, I would see a "News for the deaf." But they were shouting. This offends me greatly, since I AM* deaf, and I know that shouting does absolutely no good. These days, people sue others for this kind of "humor."

Do I? No. And Why? Because I know that these idiots think its funny. And there is still a Constitutional right to free speech, even if it seems endangered! (Case in point, look at the Christian bakeries that are getting fined for living up to their own views, while Muslim bakeries come away scott-free! We speak up, and we get slapped with fines and gag orders. Tyranny in the name of PC!!)

I don't watch SNL anymore. The humor went down hill. The satire has become boring and old, and too many people think it's actually real. (RE: Sarah Palin's "I can see Russia from my house" was NOT said by her, but by Tina Fey, and all the libs bought into it.!)

If you don't like something, avoid it. If it offends you, turn it off. Don't force your damned views of hatred upon us in the form of "Politically Correct Speech." It's just Censorship with a new label. And it stinks like yesterday's diapers.

AS I SEE IT

Folks, there is always going be be a few bad eggs. A few rotten apples. But don't call out "White Privilege" on everybody because of those few bad eggs. If you obey our laws, (which, folks, do not include segregation or those "colored only" fountains that you are either remembering from times past or are making up)-- I have nothing against your heritage.

I'll stand up for you... but if you stab me in the back, don't expect me to take it. Don't expect me to defend derogatory terms, BS, stupidity or falsehoods.

I have my limits. Once you push me past 'em, you'll see a side of me that you'll wish you had not.

Just remember, guys: Being "Race conscious" is NOT the same as being "Racist."

I was born Caucasian. I'll defend my neighbor, my friend, my family and my brother. Race, to me, is insignificant...but if you're acting like a crook or a member of the "thug-life," don't expect your actions to weigh positively upon whatever group you may classify yourself.

"If it is to be, let it begin with me," it has often been said.

LIVE IT. You may be surprised at the lies you have endorsed.

It must be nice to have a constant excuse!

The Morons are at it again.  Specifically, not just "morons", but Losing Morons.

Now, remember, and I will state for the record:  I have never seen the show "American Idol," Or is that better phrased as, "American, Idle"?

I know what the program is.  I know what it's supposed to be and what it's supposed to do -- possibly launching people to stardom.  But what of the "no-talents" who actually get on stage?  There are a LOT of those no-talent people who get a chance.  And it's unlikely that they make it past the first round or two.

Many, Many of these losers are Caucasian.  And many are not.  And those who are NOT are now accusing the TV program of being "racist."

Must be soooo nice to have a reason for failure.  Thing is, these guys who lose are obviously not as talented as someone else who does make it to the next week.  But they are now crying "Racist!" because they're not as talented as someone else.  Sometimes, you just got to wonder!

I can't help wondering what Sidney Portier would say if someone had beaten him out of the starring role in "To Sir, with Love."  If there were a remake, would they choose someone of color?  Would they choose be forced to pick someone with more talent?  Let's say Will Smith went up against...oh...say... Dan Povenmire? or shall we pick someone like... Who's a good Native American Actor? Let's use Russell Means.
Or what if They decide to do Porgy and Bess..The script calls for one type of person.  So, do you hear the Caucasians screaming racism because they don't get picked for the starring roll?

Look folks.  You people who've been eliminated may have lots of talent.  But someone was better than you on a particular day.  That doesn't make the judges any more racist than it makes someone with a German name a Nazi.  If 3 people took a test, and only the highest score qualified -- you got a 90, but someone got 91 and someone else got a 98, do you scream "UNFAIR" because you didn't pass the test?

Gimme a break!

The fact is, you weren't good enough.  If you're constantly flat when singing, can you reasonably expect to defeat someone with perfect pitch?

Stop screaming racism!  Work to better yourself.  When you're better than the next guy, you win...
If the Yankees defeat the Tigers, does that mean the Yankees are racist?  OMG, Get your head on.

Put the race card away.  Stop blaming your poor performance on racism.  Or just admit it:  Someone was better.  That's the TRUTH of the matter....AS I SEE IT!

Racism vs. Freedom of Speech

There's a picture floating around Facebook.  It's not a nice picture.  It shows Obama with a noose around his neck.  It's not a nice picture at all.  Some people are circulating a petition to get it removed, saying it is a racist picture.

Let's test that.

How many times can we find George W. Bush being hanged or burned in effigy?  Probably dozens.  Maybe scores.  Possibly hundreds.  Where was the outrage when the people were doing this?

How many times was Reagan victimized in the same way?  They even attempted an actual assassination.  And they ALMOST succeeded!  When Reagan died, was there an outpouring of grief from the DFL?  No.  NONE.  These guys defended the opinions with the First Amendment:  FREE SPEECH.

Now, someone circulates a picture of our current President (whom many think is an usurper, not eligible to be President).  And I hear shouts of Racism, Hatred, and calls for censorship!

Who's got the double standard now?

I do not defend the picture.  I DO defend the right of freedom of speech.  If the Secret Service thinks it is a threat, let them deal with the perpetrator!  Don't DAMN SCREAM FOR CENSORSHIP WHEN YOU YOURSELF ARE BURNING ANOTHER PRESIDENT IN EFFIGY!

A while back, someone threatened to rape the females in my family.  I took the threat seriously.  But the advice I got was "Leave it alone."

I still warned the women in my family.  I took no legal action, although I could have.

I was berated, called a worthless piece of shit by a blogger.  He griped, bitched, bellowed, made a fool of himself.  If you ask me, he's a pitiful excuse for a human being.  NOTE:  I do NOT mention the guy's name.  Why?  Because he's entitled to his opinion.  So he's an asshole extraordinaire.  I don't give a flying pig about that.

Now, I can guess that some people are going to call me racist because I'm defending freedom of speech.  Thing is, that freedom works on both sides, not just one!  If you're attacking Limbaugh's stupid remarks, but you're defending stupid remarks from the other side, you're a bigot!  It's just the way it is.  You've got a damned double standard, and you're just too stupid to see through the haze of smoke that you're blowing!

Since when am I a racist if I don't agree with someone?  If I don't agree with a friend who happens to be Jewish, does that make me anti-Semitic? If I speak out against higher taxes for the wealthier people just because they have more money, does that make me RICH?  If I speak out against the death penalty, does that make me a murderer?  If I speak out in defense of the second amendment, do you label me a killer?  Do I have a right to wear my clothes?  Or are you going to attack me if my socks are wool?

The problem, AS I SEE IT, stems from stupidity and double standards.  Freedom of speech applies to EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN and even immigrants, legal or not.  Don't label me a racist or a hater.  If you do, you are making yourself exactly what you claim to detest.

Your own hatred will bite you in the butt.  It WILL haunt you.  I don't hate people.  I don't agree with your lifestyle, that's my right.  You don't agree with me, that's YOUR right.

Freedom of speech is a God-Given right.  Once you eliminate it, you start on a path to tyranny.  The United States IS* free speech.  And That's the way it is MEANT TO BE...AS I SEE IT!
