My Daily Opinion

I am straight! Not what you expected? I don’t understand why not. The gays and lesbians of the world wants equality. I want equality as well. Since it is so important for people to share their sexual orientation when it involves their preference of the same sex; I thought that it should be equally important to share my sexual orientation being that it involves my preference for the opposite sex.

You say you don’t care? Outstanding, because neither do I! If someone could pass on the message for me to all of the “celebrities” that presume other people wish to know that they are gay, that would be great! We don’t care if you are gay or not. Just shut your mouth and do your job! Sing your songs, memorize your lines, and keep your sexual preferences to yourselves!

Until they do keep their sexual preferences to themselves, all of the straight people in the world should demand their equality. Instead of gay parades, let’s have straight parades. Instead of Pride Week, we should have a Heterosexual Week. They flaunt their indiscretions down the middle of streets and get cheers, well we should also flaunt our indiscretions down the middle of the street. We on the other hand would likely be fined or jailed for indecency.

They want a special law to protect them from “hate” crimes. Don’t come out of the closet, then you won’t know if someone hates your acts. What you do behind closed doors is your business. Privacy was created for a reason. Keep your sexual preferences to yourself and the world will keep their distaste for your actions private. Just keep it to yourself!

I was under the impression that Sheila Jackson Lee was a Representative in the state of Texas. Of course we can’t tell by any real work she has done for her district, but that’s beside the point. The point is, why is she spewing her useless opinions about “Jena six” who happens to be in Louisiana.

Let’s assume for a moment that she was just exercising her right of free speech as an American citizen. That went right out of the window when she used her position as a Texas representative to bolster her right to free speech. That means that she used her position as an elected official to try to influence an issue in the state of Louisiana. Did I mention that she is a Representative in the state of Texas?

Sounds like someone forgot who hired her. She is supposed to be working for the voters who elected her. Apparently there are no needs in her district. That must be why she is constantly re-elected. Or it could be the same reason why she has taken a personal interest in the Jena six; black. I’m sorry, I have to be politically correct, African-American.

If this were an issue of the facts in the case, then I wouldn’t fault her for her efforts because I know that she would speak out against it regardless of the ethnicity involved. However, she is wrongfully involving herself in this situation because the hoodlums involved are black. Screw political correctness. These turds wouldn’t began to know the first thing about Africa, so calling them African-Americans is an insult to that continent.

Sheila Jackson Lee is doing the same thing that all the other black activists does; defending the actions of low-lifes and using the race card as justification for being outraged. The likes of Al Sharpton, Quannel X, and Sheila Jackson Lee have been riding the coat-tail of the true discrimination that Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks really experienced. Their actions are disgraceful and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Sheila Jackson Lee needs to limit her efforts to serving the voters that continuously provide her with a job. What does a black female have to do to get fired from her job? Obviously not doing her job isn’t grounds for dismissal. I guess working for a different state isn’t either. I assume that as long as she is working for any black people, it’s all in the family.

A person drives drunk and crashes, killing their passenger. In Texas, this is called Intoxication Manslaughter. Elizabeth Shelton committed that exact crime by ingesting alcohol to reach a blood level of 0.26 percent, getting behind the wheel of a large vehicle and killing Matthew McNiece.

In Texas, intoxication manslaughter is a second degree felony. A second degree felony carries a punishment of a minimum of two years and a maximum of twenty years of imprisonment with a possible fine up to $10,000. Elizabeth Shelton was found guilty of intoxication manslaughter and was sentenced to four months in county jail, eight years of probation, and a $10,000 fine.

They only got one part of the punishment correct. There is always an outrage when some tragedy occurs that gets huge media attention. The response to the outrage is usually a demand for stiffer laws and more legislation. There is no need for stiffer laws or more legislation when the laws already on the books aren’t followed. Another classic example of when someone is convicted of the crime they have committed , but aren’t given the sentence they deserve.

We need to send a message to people who break the law and flagrantly commit crimes that if you do the crime, you will do the time. The way the justice system is working today, we aren’t sending that message. The message is being received loud and clear that criminals are not held accountable for their actions. If we continue to send this message, then we can expect for people to continue to commit crimes and not expect for them to be held accountable. A sad day for Texas indeed.

It amazes me every year when Columbus Day rolls around and is recognized as a holiday. Calling Columbus Day a holiday is blasphemous to all of the legitimate holidays on the calendar. It could be a real holiday if the person that it is recognized for truly was the first to discover the land he has been given credit, but we know that this is not so. Yet, we still close down shop every year in celebration for a faux pioneer.

The only meaning for this “holiday” is a day off for the privileged; government employees. It is sad that a day off from work is so important that a holiday is created under such poor pretenses. It is so important for a day off that if a holiday lands on a Sunday, then it must be observed on the following Monday, or if it occurs on a Saturday, then they want the prior Friday off too. Forget the fact that they are always off on the weekend, but that’s not good enough if one of their weekend days happen to be a holiday.

Let’s call Columbus Day what it truly is; “A Day Off Just Because I Don’t Want To Work Day”. This way it will have a more valid purpose. As it it stand now, it is just a facade.
