Censorship as Workplace Violence

I will continue to make wordplay of a sexual nature for a simple reason--sex is a universal human experience and anyone with any sense can appreciate sexual wordplay as a method to compliment others on their equality and sense of fun.  I still remember the news bulletin in which a young lady filed a complaint because a 90+ George H Bush tried to compliment her (as being an equal with a sense of play) with sexual wordplay.  In my book, it was she and not George H that showed herself to be a pitiful human being.  It is getting so bad in some work environments that R2D2 must give up every vestigial iota of a sense  of play.  Just hunker down R2D2 and be as staid, somber, and untrusting as the corporate environment dare allow.  Oh I forgot you lived long, long ago and far, far away.

Democracy as a Stage of Christianity

The Bill of Rights is a Christian creed based upon the Golden Rule.  The Balance of Power in governmental structure is testimony to man’s acknowledgement of the need for humility before the human nature drive for invulnerability.  The combination of the Golden Rule in concert with humility in scientific terms translates into a structured procedure of fact-finding subject to the widest possible tests of verification.

In the Democracy stage of Christianity arbitrariness attenuates (It’s so because I said so) and is increasing replaced by humble demonstration (tobacco is being increasingly restricted by government regulation due to ample scientific evidence of tobacco's harmful effects).  Thus, respect for mankind in this stage requires more clear objective evidence and less Daddy-Knows-Best arbitrariness.

Strong-men autocracies and theocracies are  profoundly unchristian since they seek to shackle man and even our great Creator in childhood immaturity.

How Is Moscow Like Vegas?

Zuckerberg and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during their meeting at the Russian leader's residence outside Moscow, October 1, 2012   (Wikipedia)
.....................

Huumm……..Wonder if there are party videos they could share with us offline?  My understanding is they spend most time after midnight in Biblical-Proportion Entertainment.  It’s always good to hear that Russians delight in welcoming with open arms free men from America.

One parting thought….since when for one moment has Trump appeared as a truly American President?  What, after all, would it take to make his followers get up off their knees before him?  Bottom Line—at present does America even have a president?

The Fire in My Belly

Every voter is entitled to know the nature of the inner fire impelling a presidential candidate.  Nothing worthwhile can be done if one is not totally-unconditionally-adamantly driven by fierce infinities of conviction within. The outer garment may provide cover, but within that insulation are 10 billion megawatts of certitude.

For example, Rex Tillerson was “not loyal” to Donald Trump when the President implied he expected from him illegal actions. Like my father when I wanted to use the car at night before legally qualified to do, Tillerson in self-same manner replied, “that would be illegal” and with quiet assurance promptly walked from the room. 


We all know that life can be messy, but in times when surrounded by situational noise our loving Creator is pleased to lead us with assurance.

A Quick Sketch of Several Controversial Views

I disagree with Rev Sharpton that the nutritive soil leading to abundance consists of weeping, groveling white liberals (I add a tad of hyperbole) apologizing for infractions done years ago.  To my thinking, groveling white liberals and forever wounded black victims need to exit stage right.  Then we can understand a little more how deeply our nation thirsts for the spiritual freedom that the black race abundantly and somewhat uniquely can provide. (Of course, the black culture has enriched American since the beginning--but our nation has an especially urgent need for creative soul renewal (sexy new dance moves) at this very hour.)




The basic question is--are there areas that extend beyond personal privacy in sexual matters that could or should be limited or regulated. I think an arguable position is that a very high-bar of convincing scientific evidence is a necessary prerequisite, otherwise democracies should not act upon dogma alone (ideological or religious).   So therefore as a Christian I base my personal actions on the following (click here). In this light I affirm my opposition to homosexuality in my belief that in the future science will discover decisive negative impacts with wider social implications.






Those who assert and assume that me and my neighbor will always have loyalty for the true democracy and thus join the true and legitimate militia while concurrently respecting other US rights AND THAT such militia will be united Nationwide and fully agree as to what constitutes justice and due process and convincingly states how such objectives could be accomplished with practical unity and command while clearly defining needed specific hurdles to determine whether present government is given-over to self-evident treachery beyond the pale and beyond normal legacy-informed repair AND with concurrent mechanisms to ensure discipline and ethics throughout the militia are solidly in-place and maintained AND that family homes are determined safe places for high-impact armament storage AND that profligate distribution of assault weaponry will not endanger societal innocents--THEN I may pray even more earnestly as to common need and common sense of this libertarian ideology based--lord knows--of a zillion assumptions that may (even probably) prove to scatter like dust in anarchic winds.  Today's militia are secretive and toxic and as are all forms of underground militia--really particularly nasty forms of undemocratic theocracy.

That's UnAmerican

Let's Make Clear What Is UnAmerican and Unacceptable in Our Nation

SOCIOPATH:

a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience. (internet search return)


This my fellow Americans this is now what we have to fear.

To make it very clear: in America--in the land of the free and home of the brave----ANYTHING DOES NOT GO (ESSENTIAL ETHICAL VACUITY IN THE NAME OF LIBERTY, BUSINESS, INDIVIDUALISM, RELIGION, POLITICAL PREFERENCE OF ANYTHING ELSE)--DOES NOT GO.

Sociopaths need not be fruitcake loners.  There can be RA RA, TEAM SPIRIT  WOLF-PACK SOCIOPATHS--SOCIOPATHS  NEED NOT BE  LONERS.  They can cling together in circles of bizarre poisonous conspiracy theories and fireing - line macho militia -whether metaphorical or only too real.

They most act like those whose brains and judgment skills have finally arrived at the tragic end-result of indulging in  poisonous alcoholic soft-pack unreality and  unnatural journeys into unambiguous sexual rebellion.

What Did You Say About My Mother?

My mother rocked my cradle and I will always remain loyal to her in all vital matters despite what new age feminists choose to sling my way. To put it bluntly, she felt blessed and entrusted and obligated by God to raise me right.  Not at any time for a single moment did she cuddle the self-absorbed conceit that she owned me as a piece of property and could willfully toss me in the trash at first sign of inconvenience in her life.  Knowing the love my parents consistently manifested towards me, I am certain their prayers for my well-being  began before my conception and were consistently maintained by them until their death.

The Still Small Voice in the Eye of Ideological Storms

In yesterday's blog I identified CIVIC LIBERTY as ideological dogma no more  objectively demonstrated than religious dogma.

That is, when a segment of citizens in America affirm the propriety of Sodomy, they stand on faith and belief no less than do their Christian counterparts.


We must learn that the Newest and Greatest Bandwagon Trends can deserve no less   rigorous iconoclasts than ancient subjective certainties

Ahead of Our Skis

Preamble to the Constitution

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.


It is my opinion that the American doctrine of LIBERTY can sometimes threaten the GENERAL WELFARE. That is, we tend to leave the LIBERTY switch on full-throttle long before objective observations can provide sufficient insight as to the given  induced impact upon the GENERAL WELFARE.


My upbringing, education, and experience have confirmed time and again the wisdom of Holy Scripture.  For example, the Bible described drunkenness as an evil to be avoided and so stated long before the modern computerized MRI could in high resolution reveal the profound destructiveness of alcohol upon the brain.   The ancients knew full-well alcohol and its drunkenness were bad news and found little misguidance in calling it evil.



Consider the following passage:

The fearful consequence of deliberate atheism--

Romans 1 (Phillips)


25-27 These men deliberately forfeited the truth of God and accepted a lie, paying homage and giving service to the creature instead of to the Creator, who alone is worthy to be worshipped for ever and ever, amen. God therefore handed them over to disgraceful passions. Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is abnormal and unnatural. Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these shameful horrors, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.


These Biblical warnings suggest to me there is wisdom in openness to the re-evaluation of our libertarian American doctrinaire  decisions as new scientific tools become available.

Expansion/Contraction--Creativity In America

We are all equally disgusted when an uncontrolled child raises havoc in a store disrupting and annoying everyone but the misguided fog of the parent convinced that the self-centered spewing of chaos by their little Darling pressages a future great man rather than a sociopathic thug getting their jollies off by tearing down and inflicting pain.

It seems I keep returning to the foundational purpose of the Bill of Rights which clearly is to protect the rights of others by the Shield of the State quite plainly by curbing and regulating my own lust for complete and self-centered invunerability.  Ideally in America I have absolute freedom to create and flourish SO AS LONG AS "absolute freedom to create and flourish" includes in its scope not just me alone but my fellow Americans as well--which inherently implies an over-lapping Venn Diagram mapping. 

So it is true that in the creative process ideation is a separate step from  implementation--I have a responsibility not only to enjoy the fun of unbounded phantasmagoria --but that is only step one--the next is to is carefully access whether the great idea in theory when implemented would not encroach upon the rights of others.  


Say, I own a hotel chain and advertise that my beds fit all--even NBA players--but fail to mention that the beds always fit because I have warehouses stacked high with dismembered ankles and feet.  (Don't worry atol .... .I employ a huge  staff of Roy Cohn lawyers.)

Gory Details as an Essential Rhetoric Component

Someone may ask me: "Do I know a foreign language?" The facts in some detail are that I took Spanish in high school and was terrible at it. I will never forget how the class guffawed when I mispronounced the sound of "See (Si) Senora" with "Sigh Senora". Since I sensed right away that learning a foreign language is a "bridge too far"for me, I aceeded I would never learn it unless forced to do so by essential life transactions. 

It was also a requirement in college, so had two essentially disastrous semesters in undergraduate school (at least in one term receiving an "F") and at FSU (where there a graduate school requirement)---for meeting the requirement took "Reading French" but failed.

As all other diploma requirements were satisfied, it was not until I studied written Spanish on my own in Saint Petersburg some four years later that I finally was able to return to FSU in Tallahassee (in 1976) for a written Spanish test that I at long-last passed.

Now I could have answered this "Do I  know a foreign language?" question with an answer that in truth would be so general and evasive as to be essentially dishonest.  For example, I could strongly and positively affirm "Oh yes,  a foreign language was an essential requirement for completing my graduate studies."

Of course we often would much prefer hearing  a lie than the gory details necessary to  really know and understand the truth.  FAIR WARNING: in my campaign for the presidency, do not expect from this candidate grand generalities regarding societal dysfunctions.  To the contray, I prefer that our nation hear from a relatively few individuals sharing with other Americans through their personal electronics the in-depth details of their pain and suffering deriving from the poisons of alcohol and/or from shamefully incessant recurrent cannon fodder employee abuse and practices. 

No doubt there will be some who will flip the channel to settle for "Great Again"  re-runs of the Howdy Doody Show.  How many will seek this harbor in the revelry of blind childhood innocence?

Realistic Expectations

Any leader that expects to be universally loved and admired is destined for riptides of cynicism and dispair.  As always Jesus should be our example--one focused on divine loyalty to God while maintaining concurrent loyalty to the realities of human nature and the human condition  (and a dedication  to rock-solid integrity in analysis and communication).


My utmost priorities include a factual communication of the personal pain inflicted upon us by alcohol and the horrendous stress and unhappiness imposed by cannon fodder employment practices.  Corrective action is long past due.

Why Do Wolves Need Sheeps' Clothing?

For the same reason we all prefer multiple choice tests....the bad choice seems to jump out at you!  When a sid-vicious wolf prowls among the kind, just, and merciful (the truly righteous); the arrogant predator will stand out like a towering super-prick unless cloaked in hypocrisy.  Yet God always sees to it that the haughty sooner or later are morphed into bare ruined cords buffeted in the relentless winds.
