You’re A Bad Person

Angie Harmon doesn’t like being labeled a racist because she disagrees with President Barack Obama:

“Here’s my problem with this, I’m just going to come out and say it. If I have anything to say against Obama it’s not because I’m a racist, it’s because I don’t like what he’s doing as President and anybody should be able to feel that way, but what I find now is that if you say anything against him you’re called a racist,” Harmon told Tarts at Thursday’s Los Angeles launch of the new eyelash-growing formula, Latisse. “But it has nothing to do with it, I don’t care what color he is. I’m just not crazy about what he’s doing and I heard all about this, and he’s gonna do that and change and change, so okay … I’m still dressing for a recession over here buddy and we’ve got unemployment at an all-time high and that was his number one thing and that’s the thing I really don’t appreciate. If I’m going to disagree with my President, that doesn’t make me a racist. If I was to disagree with W, that doesn’t make me racist. It has nothing to do with it, it is ridiculous.”

You might not be racist, Angie, but you’re most certainly a bad person. Only bad people disagree with the President.

I think it’s time to give credit where credit is due. The Left has succeeded in framing every issue morally. Leave your lights on Saturday night? You’re a bad person and don’t care about the environment. Believe that marriage is, by definition, between one man and one woman (a position so self-evidently obvious it’s been understood since the beginning of man)? You’re a bad, closed-minded person. Believe that people should pay their bills and that includes the government? You’re a bad, judgmental person.

The Left has done an excellent job of vilifying the normal and common sense. I don’t know how we get back to normal. You know, where hard-working, bill-paying, rationally conserving families are viewed as the normal and not framed as freaks.

The fact is, normal people are afraid to speak out. And when they do have the temerity to share their perspective, they’re labeled, as Angie Harmon notes, as racist or whatever fill-in-the-blank word it takes to get you to shut the hell up.

Embrace it: You’re a bad person.

    I must be really bad, since I think the deficit quadrupling, Wagoner firing, Defense cutting, ACORN funding, expanding the fascist government B. Hussein Obama is the Worst. President. Ever.

    Worse than Carter.

    Melissa,

    I think this post ties into the ‘where’s the revolt’ article. People are afraid to come out and say something because they have a lot to lose if they do. Is one really prepared to lose a steady job on the account of telling the truth? The very financial success (and the increasing multiculturalism) of this country is actually working against people being able to say what they want to say (how ironic is that?). Am I advocating a sharp turn to a third world country? Nope, but that’s the way I see it.

    “Believe that marriage is, by definition, between one man and one woman (a position so self-evidently obvious it’s been understood since the beginning of man)?”

    Actually, no. There were lots of marriages involving one man and several women. I even recall reading somewhere of marriages between on woman and several men! We can’t stay on our high horses if we’re not absolutely accurate.

    Oh it hasn’t been said yet??
    dun da da da dun, dum dum… dun da da da dun, dum dum. I’m here to tell ya honey, that I’m bad to the bone! Bad to the bone! bbbbbaddd to the bone! bbbbbbbad

    *couldn’t resist* ;)

    Seriously though, I’m probably the worst person on earth by their standards… And I’m damned proud of it.

    The right is just as judgmental. If you don’t believe marriage can exist only between a man and a woman (which as another reader points out, has NOT been the interpretation from the dawn of time) then you’re a bad person. If you’re a man and you love a man in a romantic way, then you’re a bad person (many right-wingers even insinuate that you’re a child molester, just by virtue of your being gay). The judgmental statements propagated by the right are far too numerous to detail here, or ever. Both sides do it to the same degree. You’re not holier than anyone. Pot. Kettle. Black.

    Bottom line the left knows the truth hurts, when rational people speak out it hurts their credibility, so in defense they won’t speak on the topic they attempt to turn the tables to make u look bad, stick to your beliefs and don’t let them bring u down.

    Carla,

    Generally speaking, when conservatives pursue an argument of “you’re a bad person because you do (don’t) believe in X” there’s more to it than that. If you’re a bad person because you want to let a child molester out of prison, for example. Or abort a baby. There’s a consequence to doing things other than the way the conservative has in mind; and there’s an innocent who stands to be harmed by this.

    Now I’ll grant you, liberals have victims in mind behind their agendas too. But that’s mostly for show, and the agenda is always more important than the victim. Tell a conservative that the baby you want to abort is going to grow up to be a liberal, and that won’t slow down his momentum one bit, because he’s sincere in wanting to defend a helpless human being.

    Tell a liberal “Actually Mister Liberal, these poor indigents to whom you want to provide universal healthcare, voted for George W. Bush,” and suddenly this “right” the liberal insists we “all” have is nothing more than a memory.

    There are exceptions to all rules — including this one — but overall, you’ll find conservatives are superior at thinking out cause-versus-effect when they say this-thing is good or that-thing is bad. Whereas, liberals are just being bossy.

    Funny how these Hollywood celebs are so shocked to find their “friends” are bigoted fascists, isn’t it?
