pick and choose

We pick and choose.


Say what we will when we want and walk away from our words when those same words are found to be fraught with fable and fiction.


No foundation of fact is necessary.


We just pontificate as we please, assuming anyone who feels the same as we do will not question the intent of the speech, even if the speech is false; lies live well when they proclaim messages of hate and bigotry. And if someone else is saying, out loud what we feel inside, afraid to mention ourselves, then hallelujah, I can be justified in my own biases.


We pick and choose.


Justification about injustice many times comes as a cause for others while the impact of these words results in consequences for many more.


Choruses of “it’s for the children” are sung as adults claim it’s not about the homosexual’s they dislike, but homosexuals marrying would lessen the chances of straight kids participating in the Institution of Marriage. (oh the power of Gays and Lesbians).


The Institution of Marriage would become broken and bent, less relevant and meaningless because the LGBT community defy the definition of what marriage is as stated from God’s own intention.


It’s not God like, (homosexuals marrying), so denying “same sex couples” the right to marry can not be prejudicial or biased, because God is not a bigot. So the words used to deny equality come from a higher power. And that being the case all humans are off the hook for their hate because all they are doing is interpreting God’s law.


Pick and choose.


Sarah “the maverick” Palin, chooses her statements, and then walks away from any responsibility of speech when the meaning behind the statement is challenged for factuality and reason. She feels no obligation to back up her story with facts, but will defend her right to say what she feels based on home made fiction.


Sarah picks words to incite and invoke, but chooses to walk away once the riot and chaos begin. No responsibilities for misinformation, after all they are only words and this IS America, ever hear of free speech. No obligation for honesty and certainly no honor in claiming to be dishonest.


Pick and choose.


The anti Health Reform Care politicians who rant and rave about how creating reform will discombobulate the entire fair market practice of American capitalism, create another Government run catastrophic agency, allow for abortion clinics, and death panels to arise murdering and killing in a unstoppable rampage, never find the words to say what they will do to stop the outrageous practices of the Health Care Industry.


They are careful to speak about the inequities befalling the corporate owners of out health care, they are diligent in dividing the have’s as better people than the have not’s, and they are outstanding in keeping the lobbyists happy and continuing to receive rebates for their roadblocks.


The anti Health Care Reform politicians choose not come up with a plan for the underinsured, the not insured, the sick, the aged, the American unemployed, those with pre-existing conditions, and dance around any relief for the average individual. Their words of divide and conquer are greater than any words of comfort or care.


Pick and choose.


It is all so easy to be exclusive, so easy to deny, so easy to avoid. So easy to pick and choose what we say and walk away with no responsibility for any or all the words spoken.
