A post from earlier days--repeated in light of more recent days...
Some days, the clouds part, the light pours down from Heaven, and the
angels sing. These days occur only rarely, and arrive unbidden,
unexpected, and OS receives each one with renewed gratitude.
Such occurred earlier this year, when Miss Hillary announced that she considers OS, and millions like him, deplorable.
It's flattering, really, to think that Herself took the time and energy to deliver such a compliment. Just to be reassured that OS's lifelong embrace of faith, tradition, family, heterosexual normalcy, monogamous marriage between one man and one woman, capitalism, literacy, the rule of law under the Constitution, the use of English for the conducting of the business of the culture, religious tolerance, defined borders and sane immigration policy...the list extends on and on...is the peculiar
target of her disdain. It's reassuring to have someone of The Great And Good lend her endorsement.
Let's not forget that detail about the need to point out, gently of course, that Islam and
Christianity make diametrically opposed claims about the ultimate nature of deity. They can't both be correct.
And OS has yet to see a Methodist walk into a nightclub, theatre, bar, coffee shop or church and murder multitudes of innocents for the cause of John Wesley.
She finds these beliefs, and those who espouse them--deplorable.
OS gladly accepts the label, pleads guilty as charged, considering the source of the accusation.
Now on to November, and the opportunity to respond at the ballot box to Herself, and all her minions, from local dog-catcher to Senator. As one of her comrades-in-arms has declared, "Never let an opportunity go to waste.'
OS agrees. Now THAT truly would be ...deplorable.
