Unctuous anal orifices
You know what I've been getting tired of lately? I'm getting tired of smug elitists who make quibbling remarks about anything they don't approve of. I guess, in a way, I'm doing that right now, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I see it time and again all over the place. Someone like the first lady makes a remark that abstinence could be discussed alongside contraception. Then I see her get verbally wrangled by some semi-intellectual yahoo who evidently feels that anyone who holds on to such out dated dogma must be intellectually inferior. God forbid anyone who happens to attend a Christian Church should speak their mind. Obviously if you aren't atheist, wiccan, Buddhist or a vegetarian you don't know what's good for anyone.
I get aggravated to no end that I'm asked to be reasoned and understanding about issues that fly in the front of my long held convictions, to be compassionate about the plight of others and not condemn those who are different from me. Then I see those same people who ask this of me seemingly disrespecting and making light of my beliefs and value systems. Maybe I'm over reacting, but that's how it feels and they keep saying that feelings are important. Sometimes I get the impression that it's not cool to be sympathetic or understanding of a white ChristianÂ…after all, we had our time in the sun and now we deserve the kicking we get.
Maybe these comments are inside jokes to be shared amongst the faithful, maybe they are a response to the opposition. Maybe I'm taking it too personally, but for once I'd like to see some rise above the pettiness; grow up as it were.
