"Ignorance In Action" Alright

<----- I am here.

If I really let you know how I felt I would not only need more headache medicine for my migraines but the keyboard I am typing on would burst into flames. So I'll be brief.

I made the drastic mistake of turning on the Emmy Awards (briefly - that's all I could handle). I agreed with SOME of one of the winner's comments when he said that the freedom to hear is equally as important as the freedom of speech. Since freedom of speech doesn't really matter if you can't hear it. He also said that he sees "Ignorance in action." The problem is that he believes that that freedom should only belong to those who agree with his liberal world view. I feel sick when I hear that kind of ignorance in action. What hypocrites. Too bad I can't get those moments of my life back. I think I may be dumber for having watched it even for that short of time. It's too bad because so many people have been given such talent and then they use the full power of their free speech to help us see just how hateful they are while they proclaim tolerance.

Wow. We have to remember what that word tolerance TRULY means. Our culture has been chipping away at redefining so many things and this is a critical one. I support their right to spew their opinions even if their speech is truly hateful. To bad they don't extend that tolerance to me and the rest of us bitter white trash clinging to God and our guns (remember there is more than one Amendment in that silly thing called our Constitution... that second one is kind of important too). And my God doesn't support hateful intolerant attitudes to those with those whom we disagree. Just the opposite. We are called to show love and remember that we all have sinned and fall short. However, there is right and wrong and we must strive for what is right. That means we respect others but we don't have to agree with them.

Wait, that sounds like the real definition of tolerance and the spirit of free speech.
