Privilege abused; privilege revoked


01) “Dave said …

You divorced?

02) “Mike said …

Hopefully never married and no offspring, I can only think of how screwed up any kids he might have would be. Though it would be very funny and ironic if he had kids and they turned out to be gay.

They would definately be gay. I don’t see any other option.

04) “Anonymous said …

Also, obviously not married. Whose wife would let them blog this often? Bitter.

05) “Anonymous said …

I would say never married. What woman would go for a man this unproductive?

Very good job of side stepping the question regarding if you are divorced, not that anyone would care (my addition).

3) Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as ‘normal, natural, and healthy.’

I question why part of the communist agenda in 1963 would be promoting homosexuality. While some homosexual groups like the Mattachine society were communist or communist leaning, the overall communist movement was not particularly homosexual friendly. Homosexuality was by and large looked down upon as a bourgeois decadence in most communist countries and by many communist orgainizations. In the 1930’s the Soviet Union enacted laws that made homosexual punishable by 5 years of hard labor, a law that was on the books until the Soviet Union collapsed, Communist China outlawed homosexuality until the 1990’s, When the communist took power in Cuba they outlawed homosexual activity until the late 70s, and most of the Soviet Union controlled nations in Eastern Europe outlawed homosexuality. So I have a hard time believing that the American communist movement that was controlled by Moscow saw presenting homosexuality as normal was a major goal of the movement.

I would also point out that the Communist Part of the United States expelled a number of members during the 1950s-60’s for being homosexuals and that homosexuality was viewed as an activity done by those with fascist leanings, which was the Stalinist view point.

Labeling everyone a socialist or communist. Is that what Jesus would do? BTW, entering the President’s middle name every time you mention him is getting old and ignorant. My middle name is Ted. Am I a serial murderer?

Don’t abortions technically save the states money?”

The gunslinger (my addition) is spreding the word (my addition) after being duped by this letter. (my addition)

Would spewing hate about homosexuals, liberals, pro-choicers be something jesus would do? There is a thin line between you and the good folks from westboro baptist church

The above eleven comments were all received within the last two weeks. Commenting on a blog is a privilege not a right. That is true of all blogs and particularly true of mine. I consider at least eight of those eleven comments to be abusive.

Who decides what is abusive and what is not? I do! It’s my blog. It seems that some of the abusive comments are feeding the frenzy for more abusive comments. Therefore, I have revoked the privilege. Comments will no longer be accepted.

Sorry. Unfortunately, it is all too common that the few ruin a privilege for the many. Some people have a difficult time learning. I am praying for each of those who have abused the privilege. I am praying that GOD will present them with opportunities to repent and turn to GOD for their salvation.

I plan to respond to some of the comments in future posts as I finish the series.
