One of the joys of blogging is that everyone has an opportunity to put out their opinions about whatever issue they feel like discussing. The good in that is that everyone has a platform that is fair. The bad is that many people, rather than argue about the issue at hand, like to resort to personal attacks and unnecessary name calling. Some even go as far as invading a persons personal life, digging up personal information and set out to destroy the person’s reputation and career. People have tried it with me, and I have friends it has happened to.

The question is why? Why do some people feel the need to literally destroy others simply because they hold a different belief system or opinion then they do on an issue? I could speculate, but I’ll save that for another time.

The reason I’m sharing this is because sometimes we all need to get back to basics. Everyone who blogs online is a person. A person with a family, feelings, purpose and someone Christ died for, because He loves us all. And because of that, I want to publicly thank Dr. Kevin Kaatz and Joe Brummer for kind of - sort of - coming kind of - to my defense and denouncing the rude and uncalled for remarks from their community….the homosexual community.

Both of these guys realize that it doesn’t help either side to simply have an online fight that is simply name calling. It’s really pointless. And I realize that not all people in the homosexual community act the way that most of the homosexual commenter’s and one homosexual caller who left me a vile message on my voicemail - act.

I also realize that not all homosexuals want to change public policy and shove their agenda down the throat of society. Dare I say, some homosexuals might even live in a peaceful and loving relationship and keep their lives private and personal without trying to change everyone else’s beliefs about how they live.

Where I have a problem is with the homosexual agenda and the homosexual activists who want to silence my rights through legislation and violating my free speech and right to exercise my religion that clearly teaches homosexuality is a sin.

So, with all of that said, Kevin and Joe, thank you for noticing that some members of your community has been rude, vile and ignorant in their vicious portrayal of me and the video I posted in support of Mayor Naugle.

I think this post should prove to you that I don’t hate homosexuals as Joe loves to say that I do. Joe you know that isn’t true, so how about you stop lying about that on your blog. (she smiles)

This video has very special memories for me because when I was in graduate school, finishing my M.S. in Clinical Psychology my professor showed us this video after a tough semester learning psychological testing. Our class never laughed so hard!

Everyone needs some levity…so enjoy this from Veggie Tales.

Early this morning I was awakened by a phone call and here is the message that I heard when I checked my voice mail. I’m sharing this because this is just a sad example of someone who is passionate about his point of view, but apparently doesn’t believe in them enough to state his name or a return phone number. Personal attacks is the best he could do…and that was done poorly as you will see.
