There is a blogospherical hate-fest afoot, and it is directed towards me…The Lovable Matt-Man.It’s not so much a result of what I write on my site.
In fact, as hard as I try, I can’t seem to offend anyone while they’re reading Bagwine Ruminations…
(Well, except for our resident crazy commenter and blogsite bunny boiler, Nicole.)
No my friends, the hate of me is the result of the comments that I leave upon the sites of others.
Case in point…
I made a comment on Sarge Charlie’s site the other day about how Liberal talking heads like Keith “May I Kiss You on the Mouth, President Obama” Olbermann still bash Bush, and right wingers, like Glenn (Hitler and Jesus Had Alot in Common) Beck keep talking about 9/11.
I was merely making a point that people on either fringe can’t seem to shake their ideologies and move forward on our nation’s problems.
Ol’ Sarge made a short post about my comment and here are some the responses that have been directed towards moi.…
Amazing Gracie: I don't know why Sheila and Matt have to continue to come here and pass gas where we all can smell it!
It just gripes them that we aren't kissing their messiah's butt. I stay away from fights, as a rule, but rudeness cannot be tolerated. Grow up, folks!
As it stands, I still have free speech. Don't know if that will remain true and that's why we knuckle-draggin' conservatives are trying to save your collective necks!
Ha. “Grow Up?”, Gracie. I was far from rude, and I find it funny that you speak of Free Speech and yet, you prefer me to keep my mouth shut. How ironical!! Someone needs to grow up alright, and it ain’t me, Gracie.
Here’s a classic…
Sandee (Comedy+): Who cares what he says? Just saying Sarge. He's never done anything worthwhile for his country. Well, except complain that is.
Ol’ Sandee, now there’s a piece of work. She should start something called the 4-M Club. Why?
Because she hates Mexicans, Muslims, and Matt-Man!! But, to her point…
I do plenty for my country. I pay taxes. I work. I help to raise a wonderful son. I vote. I help others whenever possible. And, I speak out both for and against things in which I believe.
And Mizz Bigot…I actually tried to join the USAF in 1988. However, I was not accepted.
Oh sure, I scored a 97 (out of 99) on the ASVAB or AFQT entrance test, but they DQ’d me…A TDQ for bronchitis and a PDQ because of eyesight.
I think they really said no because I mentioned an incident that took place in the early 80’s between my High School gym teacher Scrub Hubner, myself, a video camera, and a can of Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
What can I say? Back then, I was young and needed the money. But seriously…I do whatever I can, whenever I can for anyone, including my fellow Americans.
And, I do it without hating entire groups of people.
I hope someday Sandee gets a spontaneous hug from an American citizen of Mexican descent named Mohammed Juarez while standing on the steps of a Mosque.Holy Crap…I’d pay to see that, but I would feel sorry for Mr. Juarez.
Anyhoo…
Two of the things that irk me in the blogsophere are when people back down from saying what they feel and act as a yes-man and when folks try to silence others when a point of view doesn’t fit into to their Bubble of Truth.
While the vast majority of people who visit here are left of center, I adore the few who voice the differing opinions on my site.
Differing opinions are good. They’re useful. And most of all, they’re just plain fun.
And keep in mind, when two people (or more) agree on everything, every time…one of them is unnecessary.
I must give a tip of the hat to Sarge. He didn’t try to shut me up. Hell, he gave me big shout out in order to attempt to mock my point.
I dig that…a lot.
Cheers!!
