Sitting here at my computer, I have been attempting to put all of the events which have been happening in America in the past week into some logical semblance of order, and attach a nice pink bow on them ( After the Supreme Court Ruling last Wednesday, can I say that?) in an attempt to make some sense out of them.
All the factors I have considered, lead me to one conclusion: Our Society has lost its sense of shame.
Please allow me to let you in on my thought process and perhaps you will agree with me.
Let us start with our nation’s Chief Executive Officer, Barack Hussein Obama. Scooter, Mooch, and the girls are currently in the middle of a whirlwind tour of Africa and the subcontinent. (I don’t know what that means, but, Cab Calloway said it while announcing the Blues Brothers in the first movie, and I thought it was kind of cool.) During the trip, paid for by us American Taxpayers, Obama is being greeted by the local populace (I was going to say native populace, but, I did not want to be accused of being another Paul Deen.) wearing “Welcome Home, Obama” t-shirts! (I couldn’t have said it better, myself.)
While over there, our Petulant President, during a press conference with the President of Senegal, said that African Nations needed to lighten up and embrace homosexuality. Needless to say, Obama’s proclamation was received about as well as Rosanne Barr at a Southern Gospel Festival. His Main Stream Media Minions are referring to the event as a “slip” and a “teachable moment”.
I call it shameless.
While we are one the subject of the “alternative lifestyle”, average Americans are still shaking our heads over the decision of the Supreme Court to take away the sovereignty of California Voters to decide whether of not to allow Homosexuals to “marry” in their state. The Supremes (Without Diana Ross) decided to “Stop in the Name of Love”, and uphold the decision of a Homosexual Appeals Court Judge. (No bias there, huh?)
Liberals called the ruling the greatest thing since sliced bread and the opening of a doorway, leading to the “normalization” of homosexuality in America. I call it the possible beginning of the Fall of the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth. Shameless.
Meanwhile, over in the Senate, the Gang of Eight’s “Immigration Reform” Bill (Say it with me, boys and girls, AMNESTY) passed through the Senate in a landslide, with 14 Vichy Republicans, siding with their fellow DC Country Club Members. All those goobers called it “Bi-partisanship”.
I called it shameless.
Also, this week, the murder trial of George Zimmerman began. After the opening statements, the Prosecution called their “star” witness, a Miss Rachel Jeantel. She turned out to be a young woman,whose life consists of smoking pot, getting drunk, massacring the Queen’s English, and sending out vulgar tweets, blaming us white crackers for everything from her sorry state of existence to painful rectal itch.
While on the stand, Jeantel was caught in lies several times, insisting that “cracker” was not a racial term. (Right. And, 50 cent is a musical genius.) It was also learned, while she was giving her testimony, that Jeantel, a High School Senior, did not write a letter that she was supposed to have. In fact, the High School Senior cannot read or write Cursive….and can barely read or write anything at all. When she finished her testimony, she took her seat beside Trayvon Martin’s mother, who hired a lawyer after his death, to explore the “merchandising” of her dead son. (Hoodies! Get your Hoodies, here!)
It is very evident that Zimmerman is being railroaded. A witness on Friday collaborated Zimmerman’s account of the event, stating that Zimmerman was pinned to the sidewalk by Trayvon, who was “hitting him in the face with martial-art type blows”. (That doesn’t sound like the innocent 12 year old , whose picture has been circulated by his family. That sound more like the 17 year old thug, who had been suspended from school 30 times for smoking dope and breaking in lockers with the tolls he kept in his school bag.)
The reason for the screw job that Zimmerman is going through, is the initial protests lead by the Justice Brothers, Revs. Jackson and Sharpton, who never saw a camera that they didn’t like. The Prosecutor overreacted, and over-charged Zimmerman. Now, the Prosecution is trapped into going through with the Dog and Pony Show, because a certain element of Miami’s Black Population has threatened to riot, if Zimmerman is acquitted.
The Liberals are attempting to justify this farce by claiming that it is recuppence for past injustices.
I call it shameless.
Finally, there’s the crucifixion of Paula Deen, as “Interview With a Vampire” Novelist Anne Rice referred to the whole Bloody mess.
Paula Deen, successful chef, entrepreneur, and Food Network Star, is being sued, along with her brother, by a former employee of her restaurant in Savannah, GA. Under oath, she admitted that she had used the “N” word, before….a long time ago. She also admitted that she once thought that the idea of having an Old South, Antebellum Wedding, with Black waiters dressed in black tuxedos with white shirts, like the house “slaves” wore during that era, would look pretty cool.
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. (If I were to remark that those guys would look awfully spiffy in Black Tie and Tails, would that make me a RAAACIIIST?)
Hollywood must feel the same way, because I recently saw Garrett Morris, of Saturday Night Live fame [“Our top story tonight…”], playing a butler in a episode of Psych, dressed in the exact same manner as Ms. Deen described.
Anyway, now every corporation she is currently involved with, from Chinese-held Smithfield Hams to Harrah’s Casinos, have dropped her as if she was George Wallace (before his change of heart) re-incarnated.
Either she is actually the Wicked Witch of the West, away from the public eye, or all these corporations have grievously overreacted, so as to not have their profit margins affected by their association with her.
(Since Ms. Deen is a Democrat, who voted for Barack Hussein Obama twice (mm mmm mmmm), I would probably go with the second option.)
I am sure they call it “good business”.
I call it shameless.
Evidently, the majority of Americans agree with me, because Ms. Deen’s cookbooks occupy the top spot on amazon.com.
What has happened to America?
Why are all of these jaw-dropping events, which would have been unthinkable a few decades ago, suddenly coalescing into a hurricane of senses – overwhelming shamelessness?
Mark Twain once said,
Man is the only animal that blushes – or needs to.
Perhaps, in this society of vanishing morals and situational ethics, perhaps we have lost our ability to feel shame and therefore, to blush.
We need to figure out a way to regain that ability, or, our nation will become a footnote in history.

Shame comes only from a well-formed conscience which would get the holder a bundle of cash on the “Antique Road Show” if you could ever find one.
When they boo God, and openly celebrate lust, deviancy, baby killing, and envy at a national convention and no one cares, even the opposition party–it’s over. Shame? Doing that, which for centuries would trigger it, has now become a badge of honor.

You forgot the biggest example of the loss of shame in America – the election of an American hating, terrorist sympathizer with no experience at anything other than agitating people, as president of the United States of America – not just once, but twice – because he is black. Or half black, as luck would have it.

Sir, Gay men have nothing to be ashamed of in being gay — for every theory says something happened to us — irrevocably. Now, you get to pick one — God, genes, evolution, nature, environment, predisposition, hormones, something in the womb, birth order, alleles, something our father did, something our mother did, bad parenting by both — and more than 100 other theories — like I said — pick one — but all of them say something happened between conception and puberty — the utter mush, the lack of clarity, the contradictions on the matter are astounding — and in this it is heteros who should be ashamed of their trashing us for having made us one way or the other — and then blaming us for the deed done..
We ask for decency and nothing more — and you toss Jesus’s comment: “treat others as you wish to be treated” — out the window and attack us without shame, and lump us with every bad thing that ever existed — it is bizarre and not rational, and shameful — we are the least of the Flock of God, the Pink Sheep even — but we will no longer listen to how we should be ashamed for what someone did to us — as every heterosexual agrees was done. .
Keep track of my name sir, for within the week I shall have a book out on the matter on Kindle — where in which I examine the entire plethora of unfounded and unsubstantiated mush called “hetero thought on gay men.” Yeesh, shame — you people are shameless.
Oh yah, speaking of shame — on June 24, 1973 32 gay men were burned to death in New Orleans in an arson – it is America’s largest unsolved mass murder — those men were in a “church” like no other — for they weren’t allowed in a real church, so they used a bar — begging for the hard hearts of heteros to change — and they were slaughtered and no one gave a damn — just one preacher came to console the survivors — he was chastised by his bishop — the police didn’t even do an investigation — they were queers — who cared, yes? It is a shameful blot on this nation were the slaughter of 32 American taxpaying citizens was treated so callously.
Have a pleasant day.

First off, I would like to buy you for what you are worth, and sell you for what you think you are worth. Secondly, Paul’s letter to the Romans, Chapter 1: 18-28, quite aptly describes what I wrote about today…

I’m not mocking God, sir, I just have a different take on the matter — which I have an Inalienable right to do — and I’m not into buying or selling people for what they might be worth — by any measure. And the Romans empire fell in the mid 450s — some 150 years after 315 AD, when it turned Christian — don’t blame gay guys for the fall of the Roman Empire. And so, what are your thoughts on what I say — rather than quoting someone else — for instance — what do YOU think of the slaughter of 32 men in a church?

What do you want me to say, that murder is different, when it applies to homosexuals? You’re full of it. Murder is murder, whether it is the homosexual serial killer John Wayne Gacy, who killed scores of young men, or Ted Bundy, the heterosexual serial killer. If you want homosexuality to be considered part of main stream American Life, then the fact that 32 men and women, were killed, in the top floor of a lounge, which was being used as a “Metropolitan Community Church”, should be investigated, and noted no differently, than all of the Coptic Christians who are being killed for their faith in Egypt, even as we speak. While that was 1973, this is 2013, 40 years later. You want your sexual preference to be accepted as “Normal”, then don’t attempt to tell me that just because I’m not mourning more about homosexuals being heinously murdered, than I do about Christians being persecuted in the Middle East, that I am some narrow-minded bigot. Equal treatment for homosexuals does not center around the use of a word that you have no right to use.

Speaking as a Lesbian who has chosen to serve Christ rather than my sexuality, the slaughter of 32 gay men has nothing to do with Christianity. Many things are done in the name of God that have nothing to do with God…such as the Crusades, the Inquistion, 9/11, justifying sin by pulling some scriptures out of context and throwing out the rest because they do not fit the agenda by saying the Bible is full of errors (to which I would respond “then how can we believe the text that you have chosen are correct”). The fall of the Roman Empire, sir, if you had truely studied history and not just done a quick Wikipedia search, was caused because the corruption from within, that was already well established before Constantine came to power. What Christianity brought to the decline was a redirection of concentration on the pleasures of self and worship of the State to loyalty and service to Christ and the pursuit of holiness. Since the Empire required complete allegiance to the State and sought to “bribe” it’s citizens with licentious entertainment and welfare, the introduction of Christianity helped to usher in it’s dissolution simply because it was in total opposition to those things. So to try to establish a correlation between the death of these men and the fall of the Empire, by saying that Christianity breeds “destruction” is absurd. The fall of the Empire was a GOOD thing, the killing of these men was done by evil men under a presumed pretext as there is nothing in this incident to indicate that it was done “in the name of God”. The fact that there is, and will always be, hatred toward a specific group has more to do with individuals than it does with Scripture. Doing wrong does not make the Word of God immoral, only the individual. I can do anything in the name of something else, but that does not mean that it is sanctioned. What you are trying to say is that, because Christians take a moral stand based on their belief that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God, and it does not agree with your stand on homosexuality then it is Christianity that has the problem and not you. In other words, you are doing the same thing you “accuse” Christians of doing: establishing yourself as the arbiter of all truth. You are saying that those who believe that God calls homosexuality an abomination are wrong because only YOU truly understand the mind of God (if you even believe there is a God). Despite what the Bible says, you have decided that the Bible is wrong, because YOU know better than everyone else. In other words, you have made yourself god. You also are claiming that because you and I have been “born” gay or became that way through a series of life experiences and genetic development, then we MUST embrace our homosexuality because it MUST be what God has willed for us. I will not pursue scripture with you because it more than evident that you engage in selective Exegesis. I will only quote one passage of scripture, “One of you will say to me: ‘Then why does God still blame us? For who resists His will?’ But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’ Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposes and some for common use?” (Rom 9: 19-21) God’s interest is not in how we “deal” with our same sex attraction, but in how we pursue His holiness. Do we say “despite this I choose You” or do we say “despite You I choose this”?

Hard to accept that we have to fight these battles again. We have worked through so much of our own hypocrisy, examined and rejected so many of our own bad ideas. We seem to have come so far and enjoyed the benefits of maturing a little. And now a hand reaches out and resets the clock, and we’re back to arguing in the marketplaces about the dangers of sin and death, that men cannot save themselves, but there’s good news. And don’t sacrifice your children — commit sexually to your wife or husband, don’t betray her or him, and stay with her or him — seek what’s true, not what’s convenient — don’t try to justify the evil you do by calling it good, but seek what’s truly good and trust God . . .
This world pines for a toga, and I’m not sure it will quit until the air conditioning is gone. Because, “enlightenment.”
