Democrats: Stubborn or Stupid

 http://usbacklash.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/obama-milking-us-economy-dry.cow_.jpg

Is it just me or are there people out there who, no matter what is said or what evidence there is to discredit their beliefs, will continue to walk in error. This election season has evidenced this truth to me in such a profound manner that I feel confused and perplex and a bit frustrated at those who hold their ground, despite it sinking beneath them. So, I wonder... are they being stubborn or are they just plain stupid.

Remember that stupidity is worse than ignorance. Being ignorant is one thing because you don't have knowledge of the facts. Stupidity is worse because you do have the knowledge of the error and you are able to identify the problem and repair it, yet you choose the status quo.

This typifies the Democrat today. They know that Obama has unsuccessfully spent record amounts of tax dollars on "plans" to fix the economy. They know that Obama over-rided the people's will and shoved Obamacare down our throats. They know he has not made a single Presidential visit to Israel, our most-coveted ally. They know his plan to tax the rich doesn't make any sense (because the rich are the ones who employ 90% of America). They know he is an immoral man who promotes the murdering of unborn babies, homosexuality, gay marriage and a variety of other socially immoral issues. They know he lacks any kind of military knowledge/strategy (Benghazi). They know he is purposely deceptive (Benghazi cover-up, broken campaign promises, current campaign lies, and hot mic incident involving his promise the Russian prime minister that "he will have more flexibility after his election.") They know he is fiscally irresponsible ($16 trillion debt over last 3 1/2 years, government sponsored bailouts and misappropriation of funds to companies like Solyndra). They know that unemployment and underemployment is still at record highs. They know people are making less than they did four years ago.

All these are facts not just circulated by the right-winged conservatives and FoxNews. These are all obvious facts anyone can gather from minimal observation. Even the left-wing liberal media won't deny these common facts about our current President.

I guess the answer to the stupid or stubborn question isn't all that hard. They are both. Stubbornness is stupidity. They are stupid for having the knowledge without taking corrective action (voting out Obama) and stubborn for digging in and holding their ground (party loyalty). What is truly stupid is their trying to dig in to get a foothold while their eyes are staring at the sign that reads: Caution: Sink Hole Area.

Crossing the Line.... The Sin of Androgyny

  Puke, Vomit, Hurl. These are the best words I can bring up (pun intended) to describe my disgust for cultural androgyny – the societal blurring of the gender lines. We live in a culture where masculinity is criticized for its rough exterior and insensitivity, and feminism is elevated as the preferred trait among men. To succumb to this idea, it is now acceptable for parents buy their son girls’ jeans and allow him to grow his hair out long enough to make Rapunzel jealous. This same culture that belittles masculinity in men, promotes it for women. Our daughters are told that there are no barriers or rules for dress. Anything goes, even if that means looking the part of their male counterparts. Society warns that it would be an epic failure to ask individuals to don a gender-appropriate hairstyle or wear gender-appropriate attire because “you may damage their psyche” and you might “limit their opportunity to express individuality.” In the 1970s, Sandra Bem – the inventor of t...

Avoiding Factions in Fundamentalism

  Factions within fundamental Christianity are ungodly and unattractive. The factions are, for example, those that usually are birthed from education. Specifically, from what I have seen, it pins one school or church doctrine against another. (I know some will be offended by me naming names, but deep down, the following examples are well-known to those who are named) Graduates from Pensacola Christian College are looked poorly upon by Bob Jones graduates, Hyles-Anderson grads and many others (and vice versa). There exists a "rivalry" between Fairhaven folk and the people of First Baptist of Hammond, IN. "Westcoasters" are labeled compromisers by those who consider themselves more conservative. Those who attend Crown College - "Crownies" as they have been deemed - are seen by other fundamentalists as Sextonites . The list goes on and on and includes schools and churches from all around the country. Even smaller local churches try to take on the attribute...

My Dad wants to adopt more children?!

Did the title catch you off guard? At 55 years old, my earthly father isn't in that market... at least I don't think he is. But the Heavenly Father is looking for more children to bring into his family. Last year, I had the opportunity and privilege to write, direct and perform in a Christmas play entitled A Baseball Card Christmas . Some of you may remember it. The theme of the play was the gift of adoption through God's most precious gift -- His Son Jesus. It was a challenge from writing it to directing it, to performing it; but in the end, more than 160 attended and 3 raised their hand for salvation. A success if I do say so myself. Prompted by several to see it published, I found Performance Possibilities, a company started by my former college speech professor. She read it and accepted it for publication. Now, this weekend, the play will be performed by two more churches -- one in Florida and the other in a nearby Ohio town. I feel so honored that God has used th...
