WHO’S NEXT


I live near the city of San Antonio Texas.  Recently the city has been in the news.  Why has it been in the news?  It has made the news because of a secretly taped conversation of a city council member’s staff meeting (by a traitor in the room).  Now I’m not going into the details of the meeting, because that is not what prompted me to write.   
The reason I’m here now is because nothing hits home until it hits home.  I’ve lived my whole life in the San Antonio area.  I was born in San Antonio, and now I live in Bexar County (that’s the county the city is in).   

I’m sure you’re used to it by now, the vilification and ridicule of conservative politicians by liberals.   It happens all the time.  It even happens within the same political party ... ok, it doesn’t actually happen with Democrats; they cover up for each other no matter what.    And of course, any conservative voice in the media is attacked without end … not just conservative talk show radio hosts, but actors, athletes, CEO’s, and the clergy.   If need be, even simple private citizens may become a target.

If you really want liberals to come after you, just have the nerve to hold a non-liberal position while at the same time being “a person of color” or come from an ethnic, racial, or religious minority.  But the target liberals love best to attack is non-liberal women.  Yes, non-liberal women (especially attractive non-liberal women) are a prized position.  Liberals love hanging non-liberal women’s heads on their trophy wall.    Yes, they display them proudly right there next to their diversity training certificate and anger management ribbons. 
Women like Sarah and Bristol Palin, Michele Bachmann, Michelle Malkin, Deneen Borelli, just to name a few, have been targeted for vilification and ridicule simply because they aren’t liberals. So, how does this story hit close to home?  Here’s how … Elisa Chan. 
Elisa Chan is a city council representative; it is her staff meeting that was secretly recorded.  In the meeting Mrs. Chan expressed traditional thoughts and feeling regarding sexual orientation and gender identification.  She holds the radical belief that your gender is determined by how you were built, as opposed to how you think you should have been.   

On top of that radical point of view she also said that she doesn’t think that homosexuals are born that way naturally.  She’s not alone; a lot of people think so, too.  Personally, I think they’re born that way.  Just like some people are born with birth defects, personality disorders, and/or extraordinary talents and capabilities.

Liberal voices have now used this recording to attack Elisa Chan in a very public way; in doing so they have disguised their true motives and intensions.  They’re actually attacking everyone that disagrees with their view of how things ought to be.   Most people think that gender self-identification is a delusional and preposterous notion.  
As far as homosexuality is concerned, attitudes vary.  However, the vast majority of people on earth are heterosexual.  Most of them find same sex sexual relations as unthinkable for themselves … myself included.  They don’t “get it”.  This does not make them bad people, prejudiced, or mean spirited, it makes them normal.  Liberals would have you believe that conventional thought is abnormal. 

Elisa Chan has been attacked in a mean spirited and politically prejudicial way, simply because she is a non-liberal woman with a different point of view from theirs. It has been said that her words were hurtful and ignorant.   To some they may have been … but not to others.  I’d say that her attackers’ words have been insulting and arrogant.

We live in a country where freedom of speech, especially religious and political speech, is held as necessary for a free people to have fair governance.  So much so, that the very first amendment to the US Constitution protects it.   Free speech requires free thought; Elisa Chan is not only being attacked for her right to speak but also for her right to think.  The next person could be you.
There you have it. Pass it along if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue.
