I have often heard, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble” and witnessed the proud be made fools, but never more than now. God says He will make fools of those who think themselves too wise. And so He does. I suppose because He will not share His Glory with another. Pride is one of the most abhorrent sins to God. I enjoy watching the arrogant get egg on their face every now and then. It’s not a matter of hating anyone. It’s not a matter of judging or bigotry. I suppose it’s an issue of “having it coming to you.”
I recall working a job with a Rice/Harvard Law Graduate and 4 other lawyers with Ivy League Pedigrees. They enjoyed feeding me a daily dish of humble pie. I wasn’t the most intelligent or educated in the group, but I had to have the best personality! At the time, I did not know 1/4 of the things I now know about politics. The pain of Obama’s failed Presidency hadn’t impacted me to the point I was willing to stomach him. It was before the 2008 election. The Tea Party had just begun and I was on board! That seemed to really agitate my Ivy League colleagues. It got downright ugly–the punches pulled in that room. I was 1 vs the World or so it seemed. I suffered humiliation and outright ridicule. But God had my back..and the last laugh.
I gave Mr. Cornell a perspective he had never considered and “reached” him with an essay on the selfless love and Christ-like “character” of Happy Feet. The light bulb went on! And Mr. Anti-Social Harvard had a dish of crow of his own…when I pointed out that the Church he (Atheist) attended (so that his kids could develop good morals) was a spirit filled evangelical Church! This guy sat for months in the pews of Fellowship of the Woodlands (bashing an evangelical) without a clue the message he heard each Sunday was evangelical! I loved that one! God has a great sense of humor!
God seems to be enjoying making fun of the “Intolerant Tolerant” or “Tolerant Intolerant” left. Consider Obama’s persistent political gaffes! The Twitter hash tags Obama issued were immediately seized upon by conservatives in heydays! Or his “you didn’t build this” PR nightmare? The RNC sent an Obama birthday cake to the DNC, “you didn’t bake this.” “You didn’t make this” Obama Birthday Build-a-Bear parties were all the rage! Kind of like Dan Qualyle’s Potatoe comment multiplied by 1000!
And so we come to World Record Setting Chik-fil-A Appreciation Day. I find it despicable and far too thin skinned, but the “tolerant” left has shown how very intolerant they truly are by vandalizing Chik-Fil-A stores with Anti-Hate Hate Speech. Isn’t it ironic? Don’t ya think? A little too ironic… It’s so absolutely depraved, I cannot find the words. But I do have a question–why do you care so much what other people think? Why are liberals so threatened by conservatives simply having their own values and opinions? Liberals certainly have theirs. The mere fact that you’re a Christian or Tea Party enthusiast immediately pegs you a bigot in their minds. The difference is..I don’t care what they think. Why can’t they ignore points of view they don’t like? I do every day. And I like to argue!
Does the First Amendment only apply to Democrats? Liberals? Conservatives? Or does it just apply? I sometimes wonder if the First Amendment really means anything. My speech has been pretty darn expensive. It’s only free if nobody disagrees. Removing the Don’t Hate Hate Speech from your Restaurant is not cheap. It’s mind boggling to me..to think..someone would go commit a crime because their tolerant feathers were that ruffled. I enjoy one thing about this season in politics, however. The Democrats are publicly reaping all of the bad seed they’ve sown. I suppose with the economy in shambles, the walk of shame of the geniuses causing our woes is the only bit of comic relief I get.
I pray that our Nation recovers from this devastating blow. I pray that God would open the eyes of the so-called tolerant and show them how very intolerant they really are. I’m not going to waste my time praying for World Peace. I’ve read the Book. It’s not in the cards. But I suppose I pray that everyone would mind their own business a bit more..grow thicker skin! If you’re liberal, go support your leaders. Make the World a Better Place. Conservatives too.
If nothing else, stop, look and listen. You might avoid the egg heading b line to your face. Occupy wasn’t the Tea Party Obama and Acorn hoped. Cheap imitations hardly ever are! Ask Coca-Cola! Go do something original. Make a difference in the lives of others instead of just being a nuisance. God bless Chik-fil-A’s CEO for standing for his believes and not apologizing or backing down. Now, Libs, get a life and stop infringing his trademark and copyright for attention! So Alinsky!
