The Cruel Laughter from The Right( Al and Tipper, John and Elizabeth)

Hello friends, romans, country folks, and neo-platonists! It's that time again... yep.. time for some more thoughts from your buddy the old mud-daubber... sorry its me.. again! It's starting to get hot down here in the southland and the news on my color tv screen is even hotter these days.. down at the general store , theres talk about the oil spewing out of the ocean floor... (ai'nt it funny that we can put a car in a rocket, shoot it up to Mars, operate it remote control from MILLIONS of miles a way... but we can't stop an oil leak in the ocean floor)but lately I been thinkin and studyin on the stuff thats spewing out of the mouths ( and hearts) of the folks on the " Right".. you know who I'm talking about.. after all, yours truly is proud to be numbered among that group-.. lots of "us" refer to ourselves as Conservative republicans, we proudly wave the banner of "traditional" values. We are pro-family, pro-gun, pro-life... we get upset about the "liberals "when they start talking about gay marriage... because The Bible says that marriage is between ONE woman and ONE man... it's a Holy Institution ordained by God. We get on our soap box, shake our fingers, pound the podium, and Holler( sorry yankee friends- that means "SHOUT") ...and we SHOULD... we should NEVER shrink back from speaking the TRUTH about marriage, and relationships that are spelled out in the Scripture....



Thats why it hurt me so to see how that many on the "right" reacted to the news of Al and Tipper Gore's separation... and John and Elizabeth Edward"s divorce.. In other posts, I have commented on how that our old friend , the TELEVISION has taught us to laugh at the problems and struggles of others. so called "conservative " internet groups stumble all over each other in cyber space, trying to be the first to make a joke about Al and Tipper's 40 year marriage falling apart..and that John Edwards affair?? wow... such hilarious stuff... the wife with cancer, the baby born out of wedlock... can I get a rim-shot please??? our culture encourages us to find humor in adultery, unfaithfulness, broken vows, the tears of children and grandchildren, loneliness, sadness- think about it... ... thats REALLY what you are laughing at... families being torn apart by selfishness... our Flag of Traditional Family Values is being trampled on.. and WE wear the cruel boots that do the most damage...
