Lighten Up People

Fake outrage.

I’m sick of it.  That guy from Chick Fil A didn’t have his First Amendment Rights violated by a bunch of people deciding that they would no longer eat at his restaurant after what he said.

He got to SAY it!  That was his First Amendment Right!  He got to say what he did, in a public forum, and it was broadcast all over the country in a matter of minutes.  How much more free can his speech be than that?

If he kept getting punched in the mouth every time he opened it by someone who didn’t want what he was saying to be said?  THAT would be a violation of his First Amendment Rights.  Didn’t happen.

And the whole outrage over the Olympic Team’s uniforms being made in China?  Please.  If you are not wearing a pair of New Balance shoes that are made in Boston, I challenge you to start undressing, and when you find a label in any piece of your clothing that says it was made in, The USA, you can quit.  My money says most of you will be naked.

Spineless Governor Herbert couldn’t even say, “Hey! Quit target shooting in the foothills and deserts until it rains again, OK?” a month ago because he was afraid that would be interpreted as the Government coming for you guns!

Look, I like guns.  I have lots.  But I would have gotten that message.

It was still fodder for the NRA types to pump it as the Government wanting to take away your guns.  But it wasn’t.

It was more like a bad air day warning in the winter.  We would LIKE you to not burn wood, or drive if you can help it.  But if your only source of heat is a wood/coal stove, we get it.  And if you have a doctor’s appointment?  By all means keep it.  But otherwise?  Could ya not drive?  Just sayin…

If you could please avoid shooting into dry grass in the foothills and deserts, we would appreciate it.  If someone is breaking into your house at night?  Please, feel free to use your gun.  Just put them out when you are done killing them.  Thank you very much.

I don’t watch the Olympics.  At least not the Summer Olympics.  But tonight I’m hearing that there is some outrage over the young girl who won the Gold Medal last night in Gymnastics hair.

Really?  BLACK women are pissed at her for her hair!

She’s an Olympic Athlete, and a Black woman.  If you are complaining from your couch?  Shut the fuck up. 

Jerry Curl your ass over to the gym and see how well you do on the balance beam!

Her hair?  You think she didn’t, “represent” (as was quoted in one article I read) Black Women the right way cause her hair was not right?  REALLY?

She won a FUCKING GOLD MEDAL AS THE BEST GYMNAST IN THE WORLD!  That isn’t enough for you?

Man.  Some people are never satisfied.

What’s next?   Some white guy from the Midwest thinks the beach volleyball girls look, “fat”?
