The Big Guy

The Big Guy
"The Big Guy" - A name conferred on me by my son, who quickly learned not to call dad names. However, the name stuck and here I am 30 years later.

It's About The Economy, Stupid (or health care, Afghanistan, unemployment or just about anything OTHER than your dumb ass "sexual orientation")

...until I get my way.


Let me preference this by saying that your preference is vastly unimportant UNLESS it involves doing something that is not conducted among consenting adults.

A&E Suspends Duck Dynasty Star ...

Really, when is enough enough?  How much of this "it's all about me" crap do we need to put up with?  If you are GLBT (I had to look it up - I didn't have a clue what it meant), do you REALLY think anyone gives a fat damn about your sexual preference?  Of course not, because that is irrelevant to our daily lives.  Not only do I not care about what you do with your private parts, I don't even want to know what your "preference" is.  Really, what your sexual life consists of is so unimportant to me (and most Americans), I wonder why there is a media feeding frenzy every time someone has the "nerve" to state their personal beliefs (but only if those beliefs don't agree with a certain agenda).

The "GLBT "community" is outraged when people don't agree with them.  Boo-hoo - you don't prefer sexual encounters with members of the same sex!  I'll show you!  I'll call for action from businesses that will harm you financially because you don't agree with me!

How about this.  You do what you want and everyone else will do what they want.  If you don't like the patriarch of "Duck Dynasty" stating that he does not approve of your lifestyle, don't watch the program.  There is an off switch on your TV.  If you want to boycott a sponsor, shut the hell up and just don't buy their product.  Just don't attempt to tell me what to do.  Who the hell do you think you are, telling people what they can and can't think and say?  Who the hell made you (or the media or the government for that matter) the official thought police.  What is the difference between your ilk and say Stalin, Hitler, Putin, Mussolini, Castro, etc.?  Nobody is telling you what to do or say ... you have the FREEDOM to live your life, so why are you so intent upon imposing your will on others?  For instance, my personal opinion is that Two and a Half Men is just unfunny, sexual trash talk packaged as a hit sitcom, so, I don't watch it.  Get my drift?

Here's what I think.  It is certainly your right to call for a boycott.  However, when you call for a boycott of a business (or person) for stating their opinion as free Americans, you are attempting to do financial harm to them.  Now, thank God I'm not a lawyer BUT if I were, I'll bet I could find a way to sue the snot out of you for this, because you are seeking to cause harm to someone, not just stating your opinion.  Also, when you try to silence your critics, your are doing EXACTLY what you won't allow to happen to you.

For a different point of reference on this issue, read the attached interview with Camille Paglia, a liberal and a lesbian ... she gets it whereas all of you "advocates" who are "boycotting" "Duck Dynasty" are really clueless.

For the rest of us, who believe that free people are guaranteed the right by the US Constitution to think what we please and be able to state those beliefs openly, I suggest that you write to A&E, opposing their actions to censor the "Duck Dynasty" cast and be sure to tune in to Duck Dynasty, even if you are not a fan.  You know, kind of like a "reverse boycott" targeted at defending a point of view not tearing it down. In short, don't let any thugs take away your right to think what you wish and state those beliefs openly.
