A Christian Liberal is NOT an oxymoron.

Too much outrage, not enough sense – of humor or to just let something go if they don’t like it.

Everyone is entitled to whatever they want to think. But let’s not devolve into total hypocrisy here – I’m sure not a single one of my detractors have ever used the word “bitch” in other than its canine meaning (except that one admits it). I’m just as sure that none of them will until the day they die.

The idea that some liberals are “too stupid to take their own side in a fight” stands out as one explanation. The idea that it is such an offensive word that no one could possible read it in context is pretty much thrown out in the paragraph above. Get real. This sort of two-faced holier-than-thou bullshit is what convinces me that there are some people on your side that really aren’t worth having on your side. And if that feeling is reciprocated, I’m fine with that.

Here’s the thing – I can hear the word “bitch” on any television network (and in much more offensive contexts). If Jon Stewart plays a clip of this – and, God, I wish I had one – and says the exact same thing tonight; he’d get hard laughs. It would be on YouTube before I got out of bed in the morning and, quite possibly, these same people would be trading links to it and emailing it back and forth.

It’s the same sentiment I received at Street Prophets over my celebration of the death of William F. Buckley. Total pretense and crap. If Buckley had shown up to speak in their town, half of those condemning me would have protested – at least to their friends if not in person. And it wasn’t like I celebrated the manner of his passing – emphysema isn’t a pretty way to go – but I still celebrate the fact that he’ll not write one single more word of evil. If you can’t celebrate the passing of evil; then you have no reason to claim that you are good in any way.

Even if my words are among the worst ever put together in the history of the world – and they are far, far from that – then I still maintain that I am being authentic. If that is offensive; then so be it. But here’s a word of advice to anyone who wants to lecture me – save your breath. This pig already knows how to sing, and if you don’t like the words, then tune into another station.
