Winston-Salem Journal LTE TU 07/31/12


No critical thinking
A base that is not on good terms with critical thinking now influences the party of Lincoln. Despite facts to the contrary, according to a Gallup poll, 18 percent of Republicans think President Obama is Muslim and use their ignorance of the facts and of the Muslim religion to defame him. According to a Fox News poll, 37 percent of the GOP do not believe the president was born in the United States, which is another effort to delegitimize Obama's presidency. Scientists are laughed at by a large percentage of the GOP base: A Pew research poll shows that 53 percent of Republicans do not believe in global warming.
This lack of critical thinking allows GOP leaders to say that Obamacare is socialism, while in truth, the heart of the Affordable Care Act, the individual mandate, was the brainchild of a conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation, and was the central feature of Romneycare in Massachusetts.
Rush Limbaugh's dittoheads cry out, "Obama is out to confiscate your guns." If so, why did the Brady Campaign to Control Gun Violence give the president a failing grade on standing up to the NRA? Republican characterizations of Obama as a serial tax raiser do not hold water. According to the impartial Congressional Budget office, tax rates under Obama hit a 30-year low in 2009.
Obstructionist Republicans blocking programs for the middle class are the ones who should be soundly defeated on Nov. 6. The president deserves re-election.

A question of values
Susan Stamper Brown begins her July 26 column, "Boycotting Chick-fil-A solves nothing," with the sentence, "I ate at Chick-fil-A six times last week to do my part to show support for a company currently under attack for upholding wholesome values."
Please, what is wholesome about tearing families apart? What is wholesome about opposing commitment between two loving individuals? What is wholesome about creating second-class citizens who are denied the same privileges that every other American takes for granted? What is wholesome in telling lies about a whole class of people, falsely equating them with practitioners of bestiality, pedophilia and polygamy?
What value exactly — and I mean literally, not something vague like "traditional values"; segregation was traditional, slavery was traditional — is being upheld by keeping people apart? Is it fairness? No. Is it truth? Hell, no. It's certainly not freedom. Is there any positive value in telling loving people that they can't marry?
Chick-fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, has a right to uphold any values he chooses. Hatred is a value. Discrimination is a value. But if words have meaning, "wholesome" does not apply.
American Christians at some point had to adjust to the fact that their holy book's endorsement of slavery was wrong, and I've heard them back-pedal like crazy to deny it even exists. Someday soon they'll be doing the same with homosexuality. If, that is, conscience overrides dogma and wakes them to the truth.

Taking a stand
It's great to read in the paper that businesses like Chick-fil-A stand their ground about same-sex marriage. My hat's off to anyone or any business that takes a stand and sticks to it. In the end, each and every one of us will stand before the same judge (God) whether we believe it or not, no matter our beliefs or what country we are from.
If everyone just followed the Golden Rule and did unto others as we'd like to be treated, what a more peaceful country we'd be living in.

Angelou and Chick-fil-A
Maya Angelou said one thing that I agree with when she joined Trayvon Martin's parents in Cincinnati on Wednesday ("Angelou at town hall with Martin's family," July 26). She said, "Please pray for justice."
Is that really what she wants, or does she just want a guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, whatever the circumstances were? Seems that she might be like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who went to Florida the day after shooting because they were convinced that Zimmerman was guilty. Zimmerman told his story recently on TV, and it sounds like it was self-defense.
The most shocking thing Angelou said Wednesday in Cincinnati was, "I don't want to see five more Trayvons and five Trayvettes get killed by police who've been waiting for that chance." She needs to realize that police make everything safer each day. Does she really want justice?
Also want to say that I am so thankful that we have a few people who will still take a stand for truth. Let's all go to Chick-fil-A Wednesday to show our support for the stand its president, Dan Cathy, is taking for family and marriage. Ha, let's eat with them every day, where the atmosphere is more family-friendly. Biblical truth will always win, especially in the end.

As much concern
When the Revs. Billy Graham and Mike Huckabee show as much concern that 6,000 rounds of ammunition can be secured, no questions asked, on the Internet as they have shown for chicken and biscuits ("Chick-fil-A becomes political flashpoint," July 27), then the gospel of Jesus Christ might actually begin stirring again in our violence-plagued nation.
Might that be, in Jonathan Edwards' words, "a surprising work of God"?

BILL J. LEONARD
Winston-Salem
Overreacting
It might surprise Journal readers to know that a fair number of North Carolinians have been quietly boycotting Chick-fil-A for years. Quietly, without vilifying anyone or making harsh accusations, because they felt it was the right thing to do.
I agree completely with Chick-fil-A Senior Vice President Donald M. ("Bubba") Cathy's statement that "Healthy marriages are good for people, good for children, and good for the country" (Philanthropy Magazine, Oct. 2007). I simply do not agree that legal marriage should be denied any couple who wants to make that commitment.
The Chick-fil-A company has given significant financial support to certain organizations that don't approve of same-sex marriage. That is a fact. While I don't think it's necessarily fair to say these groups are anti-anything, I do think it's accurate to say they do not support equality.
You can disagree with someone's personal beliefs, but it's wrong to ridicule or chastise them for holding them. I think there are people on both sides of this who are overreacting and behaving badly.
You don't have to be an activist or part of some advocacy group to make your own personal stand. So, even though I absolutely love those animated cow billboards, I'll continue my own five-year boycott and will patronize other businesses.
We can all vote with our wallets, and our conscience, every day. We don't have to engage in character assassination or grandstanding to do it.

    1. The Journal used to fact check these letters. Remember when they wouldn't publish one of yours because the editor didn't agree with your stats?

      I really don't want to waste my time refuting all of Diamond's paragraphs. But the first one merits special attention.

      Obama spent many of his formative years in Indonesia, and in Indonesian schools. One fact is quite revealing:

      Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, with 86.1% of Indonesians being Muslim according to the 2000 census.

      So, if anybody tries to tell you that Obama was not at the very least influenced by the Muslim religion. They are morons.

      If the shoe fits: Wear it.

    6. "Obama spent many of his formative years in Indonesia, and in Indonesian schools."

      As always, Dunce has no concept of reality. The President lived in Indonesia from age 6 to age 10, which hardly qualifies as "many" years. Of course, yesterday or the day before, Dunce had him living in Malaysia...tomorrow it will be Malawi. What a blithering idiot.

      Oh, and he might want to work on his grammar a bit...the above post ends with four consecutive sentence fragments. In most college freshman comp classes, one sentence fragment is enough to earn you an "F".

      Of course, we know that Dunce's only education was received at the Sandhills Youth Correctional Facility, with post-grad done at the University of I'm Ignorant and Proud Of It (UIIPI).

      On the other hand, I know a lot about English grammar and punctuation and you do not, so I can criticize your writing all I want. That's the way it works in big boy world.

      Also, I see that as usual, you avoid addressing the substance of the comment. You might at least give us some lame explanation as to why you are compelled to lie so often...you could say that someone holds a gun on you and makes you do it, or you could say that your mother dropped you on your head many times, causing permanent brain damage, or you could just say, like your adored hero Killer, that it's god's will.

    It has been reported the man routinely carries a Glock pistol hidden in his pants wherever he goes, including to work. While he was adjusting the .40-caliber weapon it discharged, shooting him in the penis at around 11 a.m. - and his day was officially ruined.

    11. Glock pistols don't have a positive safety. They have a small safety on the trigger that is depressed when squeezing the trigger, but will otherwise prevent accidental discharges unless some idiot is adjusting the weapon in his pants and shoots his Willard off. I owned a Glock, didn't like that safety feature, never had a round in the chamber except when actually firing. Of course, I never parked the weapon in my pants. OT's assessment of the M1911 as the best handgun ever is correct, IMO.

    It turned out to be a Father's Day unlike any other for Brian Vander Lee, who was placed into critical condition and sent to the hospital for internal cranial bleeding by a single punch to the face. Eye witnesses claim Vander Lee was punched while he was sitting in a chair, looking away from his attacker.

    Sgt. David Clifford has been a member of law enforcement for over 19 years. He is an executive member of his department's S.W.A.T. team - and he is accused of assaulting Brian Vander Lee in a local bar. Over ten witnesses claim to have seen the altercation, and several are on the record identifying Sgt. Clifford as the person who threw the first and only punch.

    5. As always, Dunce has about as much understanding of politics as he does of nuclear fission.

      Only dunces decide who to vote for on a single issue. No doubt Dunce himself does that, but the vast majority of voters consider a range of factors when casting their votes.

      Even if they did, 24% of Republicans also favor gay marriage (not all republicans are assholes), and 51% of independents. So if the vote was on the single issue of gay marriage, the President would breeze to a second term because he would get 65% of the largest party's votes, 51% of the second largest, independents, and 24% of the smallest group, Republicans.

      As always, stupid is as stupid does.

    LTE 1: Well, look on the bright side: at least 82% of R's believe Obama isn't Muslim, 63% agree he was born in the US, and 47% (almost half!) agree with the findings on global warming. Good thing Mr. Diamond didn't list the stats on evolution. As George Carlin once noted, "Just think how stupid the average American is. Then consider the fact that half of all Americans are even more stupid than that."

    LTE 2: What's wholesome or healthy about consuming a month's worth of fat and sodium in 6 days?

    LTE 3: "If everyone just followed the Golden Rule and did unto others as we'd like to be treated" - the key word here is everyone. Why are gays being excluded? Shouldn't that treating of others include allowing everyone the opportunity to marry the person they love just as you had the opportunity to marry the one you love?

    LTE 4: Not usre how Ms. Angelou's statements relate to the CFA fiasco, but whatever. Justice, as opposed to revenge should be what prevails in the courtroom. Mr. Johnson is free to eat at CFA whenever he wants, but I would have my will and life insurance up to date if I ever decided to eat there everyday...not to mention a new wardrobe and sturdier chairs.

    LTE 5: 70 people shot, oh well. Boycott against CFA announced, sound the alarm!

    LTE 6: What's this? A reasonable response to the CFA fiasco? I do hope Ms. Thomson's LTE is the last LTE on the subject, because I can't imagine anyone doing a better job of putting the situation in the right context. One of the best LTE's I've seen in a long time on any subject.

      When the video starts, the perp has already been "taken into custody", which is the actual moment of arrest...we don't get to see that. What we do see is the perp being walked to a police car...pretty exciting footage don't you think?...but it's not "being taken into custody".

    I worked my way through 3 of my degrees at a Pizza Hut that was one of 100 PH restaurants (including all of the ones in the W-S, K-ville, HP region and Lexington) owned by a franchisee out of Wichita, KS. He borrowed the money for his initial store from his wife.

    Unfortunately, he was unable to keep his pants zipped, so his wife decided to divorce him and, oh, by the way, she wanted her money back for the stores...all 100 of them. So, he had to sell all 100 of his stores and write his ex-wife a check for $30M.

    For $30M, his mistress had better have had Miss Universe looks with the moves being displayed by the women's Olympic gymnastic team on tv.

      Days after the big city boss blasted the chicken chain over its president's stance on same-sex marriage, an influential Baptist minister and Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago struck back. The religious leaders, who support the traditional view of marriage, were incensed at Emanuel's claim that "Chick-fil-A's values are not Chicago's values."

      "Do not disrespect us...We, too, are Chicago," the Rev. Charles Lyons of the Armitage Baptist Church thundered from the pulpit Sunday.

    6. Okay there will be 10s of thousands, and likely more than a million.

      What are you going to do to me if I'm wrong? Make me argue with the forum fool-Rush? Puleaaaaze!

    7. a million, you mean .33% of the population, that's HUGE

      Hey, if you are wrong, you're wrong. No big deal. We're used to it by now.

    9. I don't think gays will be able to continue to leer and peep at heterosexuals' naked bodies. I don't think it will be allowed in the future.

  23. Too bad there wasn't a CCW holder in that Pawn Shop this afternoon. Had there been, we might have to pay to encarcerate these losers for the next several years.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yep, I'm sure that if Dunce had been there with his P-39 Aero Six Machine Pistol, facing three guns pointed at him, he would have fearlessly done his Billy the Dunce act and killed them all with three well placed shots. Never mind that stinky puddle between his legs.

    1. You'd have pooped your panties and ran like scared cat.

      Delete
    2. Really need to be more original...it's not fair appropriating someone else's insult, and "ran like scared cat" should be "run like a scared cat" and is a really worn out cliche to boot. How about "like a daunted dunce."

      Oh, and a little edit for clarity and spelling:

      "Had there been, we might have to pay to encarcerate these losers for the next several years."

      Let's try:

      Had there been, we might not have to pay to incarcerate these losers for the next several years.

      There, much better.

    3. Rush, you should worry about your own mistakes, you certainly make enough of them in here.

      Walmart closes shortly, better get your outfit (diapers) for tomorrow's strike at Chick-fil-A.

      Oh, and Wal*Mart is open 24 hours, so it never "closes shortly".

      Will you ever get anything right?

    7. Bucky is going to Peep-fil-A for a peeper sandwich.

    8. Well, he certainly lives in the peeper world.

    9. Can't wait to see you in your outfit (diapers), Rush. I'll bet you'll look cute tomorrow.

      He could go over to Parks Chevrolet and get a "Little Cheaper Peeper".

    11. I hope they shut down the bathrooms. If they don't, the gay bucks will surely congregate in them.

    16. Walmart sells the uniform of the day, better get 'humping'. Whoooops! Scratch that word.

    17. "Can't wait to see you in your outfit (diapers)..."

      Redundant. "Outfit" is vague, so strike it and the parentheses and just say:

      "Can't wait to see you in your diapers..."

      Much better.

    18. Rush, what size diapers do you wear, XXXXX-Large? Better gets 'em before they sell out for tomorrows big strike.

  25. if I owned, gays "would" not will, I realize the subjunctive case is difficult. Sometimes it doesn't translate well from Spanish, there are so many forms subjuntivos.

    Dunce might be a good man "if it had been somebody there to shoot him every minute of his life", but I don't think I've got the time or energy for that rehab project. He'll just have to get there on his own.
