The Leave Alone Party
At any rate, whenever someone uses the word "Chaplin" in their name I have the good common sense to articulate my views. I was raised Baptist, became Catholic, and am covered UP with Mormons. The radical left freaks out when I remind them of those facts, but the simple truth is the US is a Christian nation formed by Christian men on Christian principles. Not Moslems, not Hindus, not Buddhists! Deal with it! This country will always be Christian. About the only good thing to come out of the immigrants streaming in from Mexico is that if they are Mexican they are probably Christian and heterosexual.
Our problem is too many people do not just stand up and say, "I don't agree with that, and never will!" Standing up comes in many forms. Civil disobedience is one of the best forms. The very idea that you have to be "licensed" to defend your life is absurd. Therefore I repealed that law. I carry a gun whenever I feel I need to. Just go into any convenience store in Killeen at eleven o'clock and tell me how safe you feel. Even a dog has the God given right to bite, but we don't muzzle all dogs because of one bad dog. People are so caught up with not offending anyone that they, themselves become the offended. Of course people have a right to live as they want to live but I reserve the right to my opinion. The Gay lifestyle is dangerous. Using drugs indiscriminately is dangerous. Plotting your life without a moral compass is dangerous, eating convenience store burritos is dangerous so don't get mad when I point these things out.
When I say things like the above I don't do it just to offend. I do it to make people think, and perhaps a few will sit up and say, "Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!" You see, if enough people just do that we can turn thus mess around. Politicians are a funny lot. If they perceive public opinion turning they will follow the lead. They know that if they don't then they will have to find jobs, and that's unthinkable. The pendulum swings this way and that. This is a natural law. The universe is composed to opposites. Light and dark, hot and cold, male and female. Our social consciousness has hit to extreme left. This cannot maintain. Sheer force of population demands a return to center. Only problem is that the rod never stops at dead center. It continues to the opposite extreme. This is never good but it's the way it is. What we, as Christian conservatives need to try to do is hold the line against extremism, even our own. I do believe in allowing adults to chart their own lives but not chart MINE! If a Gay Chef wants to live with his boyfriend, oh well. Will I not eat his prime rib? Of course I will. If he ends up with AIDS I'll hand him a Bible and hope he reads it.
I'm going to start a new Political Party. The Leave Alone Party. If it doesn't concern you leave it alone! We can't all possibly agree with every aspect of our existence. We do all agree one most things. Concentrate on those things. If you abide by just two rules, don't believe in anything you can't see or verify, and don't worry a bout things you cannot change. There! That takes care of ninety-eight percent of your problems. Take four aspirins and call me in the morning.
