From this day forward I will no longer be calling our country the United States of America. I will from now on refer to our country by its new name, The United States of the Offended. I first heard this term used by Robert D. Raiford of the John Boy and Billy Big Show years ago. Now, after years of watching our rights slowly being taken away for fear of "Offending" some group or another, I have finally realized that we are a nation of people who are offended and outraged when somebody else doesn't think or believe the same way we do. Our government, right now is trying to curtail our rights to freedom of religion. They are so scared of offending non Christians and Muslims that they are trying to keep the Christians from praying or even speaking the name of God in public places. The only group of people the government does not seem to care about offending are the Christians, and yes, this offends me. There are other rights that the government and the lawmakers are trying to circumvent for fear of offending other groups but the one mentioned above is the one that first comes to mind because it is the most prevalent and the one that gets the most coverage in the media.
I will be continuing this post and going into more detail about the other rights our leaders are trying to take from us in order not to offend the others of us, but for now it is late and I'm to tired to think any more.
