Grammys – Kingsjester's Blog

Last night, during the live Grammy Awards Program on CBS, the once-enjoyable musical awards program’s Liberal Producers decided that they would turn a musical segment into a political one.

The Hollywood Reporter has the story:

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Same Love” anthem became the theme song for 33 newlyweds during the 56th Grammy Awards on Sunday night.

The gay and straight weddings were officiated by Queen Latifah while the hit song about equality was performed by the rap duo with Madonna hitting the stage with them, along with Mary Lambert and jazz artist Trombone Shorty.

“This song is not a love song for some of us but for all of us,” said Latifah as she introduced the special segment.

The mass of couples exchanged rings at the same time as the singer pronounced them wed while Madonna emerged to sing her classic “Open Your Heart.”

The Material Girl changed into a white Ralph Lauren suit for the ground-breaking performance after wearing a dramatic black tux on the carpet.

At the end of the historical television moment, Ringo Starr was overheard saying to Paul McCartney, “Let’s all renew our vows.” McCartney then shook the hands of every couple that walked by.

GLAAD President Sarah Kate Ellis celebrated the event, telling The Hollywood Reporter in an exclusive statement.

“When such a critically acclaimed and popular rap artist puts marriage equality center stage at one of the biggest events of the year, it is the latest in a long line of signs that our nation not only accepts, but celebrates the love and commitment of gay couples today,” said Ellis (who is married to Kristen Henderson of the band Antigone Rising).

“Macklemore and Ryan Lewis aren’t only talented musicians, but are setting the bar high for our allies around the country today.”

GLAAD also tweeted its support of the equal rights awareness performance earlier in the evening, saying: “Congrats to #LGBT allies @macklemore and@RyanLewis! #GRAMMYs.”

When asked by Ryan Seacrest about the groundbreaking event before the show, Madonna stumbled over her words, saying: “I was told not to say anything”.

Of course, she was.

On Saturday, I posted a Blog titled, “If I Were a Socialist U.S. President”. One of the statements I made was

Through redefining the definition of the family unit, and eliminating Christianity from everyday American Life, I will eliminate the “backbone” of the nation…the two main barriers that will keep me from radically changing America into a socialist nation.

I also wrote,

I would preach about hope and change, but like all Marxists, I would be hoping to bring subjugation and looking to “radically change” a nation, all in the name of “Fairness and Equality”.

Obama and his one-minded collective are desperately trying to desensitize Americans regarding the Hot Button Issue of “gay marriage”. Even though, those who practice the sexually deviant behavior of homosexuality only compose around 3% of our population, those advocating defiling of the sacrament of marriage would like us to all believe that they number many,many more. And, those who rig polls for a living would like us to believe that the majority of Americans believe it is okay for homosexuals to imitate the union of a heterosexual couple.

If that were the case, 31 states would not still ban “gay Marriage”. And, “Activist Judges” would not have had to overturn the will of the people in Utah and California.

In their desperation, Liberals have even tried to rewrite God’s Word regarding Homosexuality, labeling anyone who does not agree with them, into a “Hater”.

Remember the hoopla before Christmas concerning Duck Commander Phil Robertson’s paraphrasing of the 1st Corinthians passage concerning Homosexuality?

After combative CNN commentator Ben Ferguson called out Piers Morgan attacked the topic on one of his shows. His guests were Conservative Talk show Host Ben Ferguson, Liberal Bloviator Dr. Mark Lamont HJill, and Biblical Scholar Dr. Michael Brown.

To say that things did not go well for England’s Worst Export, is an understatement.

Here’s a slightly redacted transcript:

Morgan: Let me ask you this, sir. As a Christian man, can you point to a single public utterance by Jesus Christ—the Christ in Christianity—about gay people or about a gay lifestyle? Can you name one single thing, derogatory or otherwise?

Ferguson: Go to Sodom and Gomorra for goodness sakes!

Brown: I’ll name three for your Piers. Number one, in Matthew 5, Jesus said he didn’t come to abolish the Torah but to fulfill. He takes the sexual morals of the Torah to a higher level. Number two, in Matthew 15, he says all sexual acts committed outside of marriage defile a human being. And in Matthew 19 he says marriage as God intended it is the union of one man and one woman for life.

Look, Jesus did not address wife-beating or heroin-shooting, but we don’t use that argument for silence. But in point of fact, he as a first century Jew, of course he reinforced these things. And Piers, I’d encourage you to restudy what scripture says. We should love our neighbors as our self, but that doesn’t mean we approve everything of our neighbor.

At this point, Hill interjected, arguing that there are “several problems with that interpretation.”

Hill: One, the New Testament absolutely does offer the words and the voice of Jesus, and he very explicitly does not talk about being gay. And even the scripture you cited about marriage is very different than talking about being gay…

Brown reminded Hill of Christ’s assertion that “marriage is one man and one woman,” but Hill moved on to attempt to address Brown’s statement about Christ’s reinforcement of Old Testament law.

Hill: If you’re saying he’s confirming the Old Testament, well, the Old Testament is far from clear around gay marriage or around gay acts.

Brown: Are you sure about that?

Hill: …The book of Leviticus, according to most biblical scholars, is not about being gay. If you’re talking about the story of Sodom and Gomorrah for example. It’s really about being inhospitable to neighbors, it’s about prostitution, it’s about many other things…

Brown: Hebrew scholarship is my background, I have a PhD in Semitic languages… Leviticus 18 is quite explicit: For a man to lie with a man is contrary to what God intended. The rectum is part of the disposal system. It’s not meant for sexuality. God designed a man to be with a woman. That’s pretty obvious, not hateful to say it. That’s obvious. And, really, the Hebrew scriptures are clear on this, sir.

Liberals, in their belief that they are “the smartest people in the room”, often find themselves slapped down by their own conceit.

I believe that just as Hollywood paid the price at the Box Office for trying to push movies degrading America’s Fighting Men and Women, so will the Music Industry receive a backlash from their antics last night.

And, it will be a result of them believing their own propaganda.

Until He Comes,

Last night, there was additional security added to the annual Grammy Awards, out of fear of accused murderer and ex-policeman John Dorner.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced an LA-record seven-digit bounty is being offered for any information that leads to Dorner’s arrest and conviction.

“We will not tolerate this reign of terror that has robbed us of the peace of mind that residents of Southern California deserve,” Villaraigosa said. “We will not tolerate this murderer remaining at large.”

Dorner hasn’t been spotted since Thursday morning, when he allegedly killed an officer in suburban Riverside, his third slaying in less than a week.

The LAPD — although already spread thin throughout Southern California looking for Dorner — has called in additional officers from their days off to take a visible presence at tonight’s Grammys at the Staples Center, according to CBS News.

In a rambling manifesto he left behind before embarking on his rampage, Dorner wrote,“I assure you that Incident Command Posts will be target-rich environments,” referring to the police term for mobile headquarters that cops set up at special events such as the Grammys.

While those Liberals were in fear of something awful happening, other Liberals are beginning to turn the murderous Dorner into a folk hero, like Dillinger, Capone, or, most recently, the West Memphis 3.

The CBS affiliate, Ch. 13, in Sacramento, has the story:

The ex-cop accused of three revenge killings left behind a long manifesto outlining all of his grievances and observations.

That manifesto has given investigators some clues, but they still don’t know where is Christopher Dorner.

Law enforcement spent four hours searching his mom’s Orange County home. They took out 10 grocery bags filled with evidence.

Dorner lost his job with the Los Angeles Police Department in 2008. His manifesto vows revenge for that; and, surprisingly, thousands of people actually support him.

It’s hard to believe but there are those out there who sympathize with the man targeting police officers.

One Facebook page is proclaiming Dorner for president. “We propose electing a man who could no longer sit idly by and watch as malicious tyrants abuse the innocent.”

The description on “We Are All Chris Dorner” chillingly says, “Yes, this is war.”

Nearly 3,000 people like the page “I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner.”

CBS13 posted a simple question: Why? Why support a man wanted for at least three killings and the author of a murderous manifesto promising to target cops?

One sympathizer wrote us, “Because something needs to be done about the long known corruption of not only the LAPD, but several agencies.”

Another comment read, “He is god for now and I support him and this page.”

“Most people would be shocked and appalled that people would support this,” said Sid Martinez, assistant professor of sociology at Sacramento State.

However, Martinez is not surprised by the outpouring of support. He points to a long history of distrust and tension between parts of Southern California and the police, as the motivation behind the movement.

Some are celebrating this former cop turned alleged cop-killer as a vigilante administering a sick kind of justice.

“So, to see someone kill police officers, they may see this as a kind of way of standing against oppressive force,” said Martinez.

A number of fake Twitter accounts have popped up and are only adding to the surprising debate.

As I mentioned before, this “Anti-Hero Worship” has happened before

Back during the Great Depression, Americans became fascinated with the exploits of criminals.

Amy Sillup, writing for Suite101.com provides an explanation:

The glamorized crime tales fired the public’s imagination, provoking the belief that at least somebody out there was “getting their share,” even if it wasn’t rightfully theirs in the first place. Former U.S. House Speaker Jim Wright recalled reading about Bonnie and Clyde’s “romantic existence” during his childhood in Texas, admitting that many people “env[ied] them a little, to be so good-looking and rich and happy.” The fact that the Barrow gang rarely if ever exhibited any of these three attributes did not dissuade readers one bit. Even if they would never live by it themselves, a lot of angry citizens at least tacitly agreed with Buck Barrow’s defiant adage: “A good run is better than a poor stand.”

It wasn’t just the criminals’ “good run” that motivated the hero worship. The Feds were often seen as a giant spider trying to ensnare the ultimately doomed, yet inordinately clever “little guys” in a “big government” web composed of more than its own fair measure of corruption and violence. Letters to the editor supported gang leaders like John Dillinger; “He rob[s] those who became rich by robbing the poor. I am for Johnnie,” reads a typical excerpt. One fresh-faced Boy Scout explained his admiration for Dillinger to a reporter with this straightforward statement: “I’m for him… I’m always for the underdog.”

Though there were certainly exceptions to the rule (Baby Face Nelson aroused fear rather than respect, for instance), the fact remains that the poorer the public became and the more hardships they suffered, the greater the social significance a criminal lifestyle seemed to assume.

America stands at the verge of another Great Depression. However, I do not believe our economic situation is the reason that some Liberals are turning this psychopath into a cult figure.

The answer is simple: These Liberals have no moral compass.

In fact…

For all of you idiots who think that Dorner is a “hero”…There’s a fallen angel in a much warmer clime that you’ll probably love, also.

Until He Comes,
