PAY ATTENTION!!!

Alright, so we have the Paula Deen thing going on now, among other things.  Last I heard, Snowden was stuck in transit zone of airport in Russia due to our (now) COMMUNIST nation of the United States slashing his right to free speech and revoking his passports.  Hopefully he gets travel papers from a host nation soon and gets settled down.  I applaud him.  It takes BALLS to stand up and speak out like that.  RUN SNOWDEN RUN!!!

If you haven't noticed... a lot of things have been happening at once to push us away from the fact that OBAMA and his band of Democrats are ruining this nation as we know it.  Where have all the smart people gone?  Where have the rebels, the individuals, the idealists gone?  Is this seriously now just a country full of pussies?  Are we expected to cower down and bow to this unfortunate idiot we have in office right now?  I'm still wondering how in the Hell he got a second term without winning the citizen's vote majority.  What the fuck have we come to?  Letting our own nation down.  I've never seen such tyranny run rampant in all my life!  We should stand up!  We should take pride in our country, in our fellow Americans.  We should fight!

But here I am getting all riled up again.  Maybe I should take a step back for a second and check out the smaller things in life.

Let's talk about Paula Deen.  We have all made mistakes in our lives that we wish we could take back so that they never happened.  This is one woman who said something back in the day, back when it wasn't universally thought of as necessarily being "bad" to say.  Now she regrets saying the "N-word."  Well, its already said, its in the past.  It was YEARS ago.  Why is this being brought up now and why is she being tormented over something she said back when she was a completely different person?

The fact is, people change.  You're going to sue someone over the fact that they called you "ignorant"  (Yes, I'm using the CORRECT definition, because the definition they refer to nowadays is slander.)  Oh, well, let me tell you just how ignorant you are... but I'm sure you know by now.  Paula Deen is not a bad person.  Sure, she may have said something that is (now) universally a "BAD" word, but it was said BACK IN THE DAY.  Get the fuck over it people! This is the woman who MADE Food Network what it is today.  She is THE QUEEN of Food Network.  How much longer do you think Food Network is going to last by cancelling her contract?  I will tell you now, they lost me as a fan for good.  Wal-Mart?  All these other places cancelling her contract over something stupid?  Puh-lease, I have heard worse come out of a Wal-Mart store manager's mouth and laughed about it.

That's the problem though, isn't it?  People can't shrug things off any more.  Instead they're left with hatred, grief, remorse...  The shit is in the past, you squeezed it out, its beneath you, now flush it and get it over with.
