Right In Florida

Motto: This is what happens when Insanity and Banality come together.

Name:
Location: North Central Florida, United States

I'm an aging boomer, white male (cue scary music); not religious, mostly conservative. Married to the same woman forever. No kids-by choice (I believe in personal choice in most areas of life). Voted mostly Republican until November 2000 when the national Democrats tried to steal the election in Florida. I promised to never again vote for another Democrat; kept that promise to date.

And now the Christians are rioting

Well, of course not! But, as Rich Lowry of the above NRO post says in his first sentence, it's an option. "Christians have long wondered how to get due regard for their religious sensibilities from the arbiters of our culture. Now they know the answer: mayhem."

But it's an option for only the most simpleminded, backwards Christian. Not that there haven't been centuries when such did occur. But these days, such spoiled childlike fundamentalists seem to be Muslims. Of course I'm generalizing.

However, just wait until there's a small scale riot by members of any loony brand of Christianity in any part of the world. Or for that matter, a letter writing campaign. Then you'll see just how brave our MSM really is. They presently are very respectful of (the peaceful) religion, but I'm sure they will locate their missing testicles and be able to cover every stupid act of any nutjob Christian cult. They've done it before, and in considerable detail over many days.

Speaking of stupidity and religion, Southern Knight posts on something I had thought of doing since it also involved religion in Florida. "It was to be a celebration of "Black History" month in Deltona, Fla. However; three of the paintings on display in the city hall HAD to be removed because they contained small references to the Christian faith."

That's right, apparently the fear of displaying anything Christian (even though that religion was a major part of black history) made a local government willing to show disrespect for Black History Month. Must have been one hell of difficult decision. You see, they were not afraid of Christians, so they must have been afraid of offending atheists or other religions, maybe even (shudder) Muslims. Don't want to be offensive you understand. Well, maybe toward Christians.
