Are you kidding me? I'm offended, in a politically correct, non-violent, enlightened way.

I was listening to Mark Larson on KOGO radio AM 600 out of San Diego as I was driving my big rig in from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and he said something that blew me away. I don't have the details yet, so this is from memory, but from what I have gathered, this is a lot of Bull.

The California State Assembly in Sacramento had a Gay, Lesbian, and trans-gender day on the floor to show their appreciation for the bravery of these individuals in these less than tolerant times. Now, get this, this is the same assembly that voted down having an Independence Day celebration on the floor last month because in light of the war and current opinions it would be offensive to have such a celebration on the State Assembly Floor. Perhaps patriotism is just too offensive for them. Besides, those forefathers believed in God, and they couldn't possibly allow that on the Senate Floor.

In the meantime, the plot of land with a cross on it on Mount Soledad down in San Diego, which has been a subject of controversy since an atheist, Paul Paulson, sued the city requesting its removal in 1989, was bought by the federal government, mainly because of Bush, to save it. This follows a May court decision in which a judge had ordered it be taken down because it is on public land, hence the separation of church and state thing, and since it is the preeminent symbol of Christianity it is offensive to all non-Christians.

Well, since we are wanting to take down crosses because they are offensive to non-Christians, why stop there? (keep in mind in most cases we are the ones that get screwed in this possible, politically correct scenario):

-Anybody disagreeing with gay rights is offensive to the gays, so those "narrow-minded, intolerant" people must be moved to Antarctica, the North Pole, Northern Greenland, a Republican Convention, or any other location on the planet in which no gays reside.
-Any form of fighting or violence is offensive to peace activists, so boxing and any other sport related to any kind of violence is out, and this must include, but is not limited to: football, wrestling, thumb-wrestling, playing "slug-bug", slap-fighting, hockey, soccer (unless tackling is eliminated), and a number of others. Baseball can stay as long as they promise not to have any more bench-clearing brawls, or confrontations at home plate between the runner and catcher, oh, and if they promise to communicate better so that their are no more collisions between players all going for the same fly ball.
-Losing is offensive to the touchy-feely psychologist types (losing, you know, causes low self-esteem) so any other sporting event is out, unless it can be held without a winner or a loser resulting from the match or game. Hmmm, tic-tac-toe tournaments would be perfect, since everybody knows that a cat's game is always the result unless one of the competitors is stupid. Soccer can stay if they eliminate the goal. Baseball is still fine, but home plate would now need to be eliminated as a goal.
-Stupidity, or intelligence, one or the other, would have to be eliminated since stupid people (also known as liberals) and intelligent people (also known as conservatives) tend to find each other offensive. Oh, and anybody that cries out Centrist, should be shot. Oh, wait, we can't have any violence. Anybody that cries out Centrist should be told sternly, but without anger, that they are not completely accurate, in a nice way. Centrist is just another word for liberal. I hate it when the left tries to feign moderation.
-Any establishment that serves meat is offensive to vegetarians so they need to be eliminated.
-Any restaurant in which the waitress isn't wearing slacks and a button down shirt, and any restaurant in which the waitresses breasts can be noticed as bumps or larger, is offensive to NOW, so they must be put out of business.
-The English Language is offensive to illegals, so it must be eliminated.
-Anything white is offensive to the ACLU so all Caucasians, and anything that reminds anybody that white people ever existed must be found, piled up, and burned.
-Anything that makes sense politically is offensive to the New York Times, so eliminate those things.
-The New York Times is offensive to anyone with a brain, so that newspaper must be eliminated.
-Automobiles are offensive to the Amish, so get rid of them.
-Men are offensive to feminists, so any member of the male gender (except for the homosexuals - feminists tend to love them for whatever reason) needs to be sent off somewhere. Perhaps to Antarctica with all of the anti-gay people. Then again, any non-gay male would probably have already been sent, except for the real nutcakes like Michael Moore and Jerry Springer and Al Gore and . . .
-Allowing innocence to live is offensive to pro-abortionists, so our children must be dealt with.
-Life is offensive to those that hate life, so we might as well all blow ourselves away, but in a non-violent, non-offensive, enlightened way.

I have a question. Who do the non-Christians so offended by crosses and the very existence of Christianity cry out to when facing death? Okay, okay, Tom Cruise probably cries out to his inner-self, but the rest of them, I bet, scream, "My God, help me!"

Just a thought.
