Cussing to a liberal doesn\u2019t represent crassness or crudeness. How could it? To be crass and crude means one is kowtowing to a puritanical backward way of seeing culture. Liberals don\u2019t believe in \u201cThe\u201d Bible, they believe in \u201cA\u201d bible though.<\/p>\n<p>The Constitution represents the progressive\u2019s omnipotent scriptures. Don\u2019t believe me? Progressive thought is what created the concept that the Constitution as a \u201cliving\u201d document. Words that are \u201calive\u201d, sound familiar Christian? <\/p>\n<p>We believe the Bible to be God breathed revelation to humanity. The Word even became flesh and dwelt among us. I honor the Constitution because it drew its power from God and Natural law. I don\u2019t worship it though and certainly don\u2019t manipulate it to make it conform to my lifestyle choice.<\/p>\n<p> The Bible contains life and is creative and powerful. To the progressive who has borrowed from Christians (what\u2019s new?) they have applied this to the Constitution. They call it living because it allows them to reinterpret the meaning in order to fit their worldview and then be able to claim it was its intent all along.<br \/>\nThus we end up back at cussing.<br \/>\nThe first amendment whose main property was to provide freedom from government intrusion into our faith lives became \u201calive\u201d and thus able in its animated state to claim that keeping religion out of the public square is what freedom of worship means. I know, I know, you have to be a tenured professor at Berkley to be that deluded but it is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that freedom of speech to the progressive means there are no boundaries on decorum since decorum dictates moral absolutes and moral absolutes censors\u2019 art. I KNOW ITS IDIOCY BUT I DIDN\u2019T CREATE THIS LINE OF THOUGHT THEY DID! Don\u2019t take it out on me! The result being you cannot go to a comedy club anymore and hear a night of curse-free comedy.<\/p>\n<p>What used to be mandatory for a \u201cT.V. set\u201d which meant no cursing, now has gone the opposite direction and cursing is expected as a way to show the 14-22 year old demographic you\u2019re hip. Even Comedy Central only seems to give half hour specials to the cursing class and find beeping the words the proof of their giving the public what it wants.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus by the way is the de rigueur curse word of the liberal elite. These gas bags of relativistic BS who are obsessed with respecting all cultures and lifestyle choices except Christians find using the name Jesus in a profane way non-insulting to the hundreds of millions worldwide that consider the name sacred.<\/p>\n<p>One wonder\u2019s how they would feel if we suddenly began using their saviors name I vain. Hurting oneself or getting frustrated elicits the epithet \u201cBull-Obama!\u201d or \u201cDarwin yours\u201d! Could perhaps open their eyes to their insensitivity. Not that it would be a perfect solution.<br \/>\nJesus came to give life and die for the lost.<\/p>\n<p> Relativists came to kill life and bring death to the innocent I.E. abortion on demand and \u201cperpetrator as victim\u201d mentality. Jesus on the other hand never hurt anyone other than those that don\u2019t want it pointed out they are sinners and need to change their ways. Of course that concept is the progressives Waterloo, which is why they do everything in their legislative power to eliminate it.<\/p>\n<p> To that I have only one response\u2026Barack you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberals cuss\u2026a lot!

From his Nashville stronghold, Stine is mounting his crusade against these hypocrisies, all of which are explored in his highly anticipated 4th album\/DVD, aptly titled \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWUSSIFICATION!' \"You know what offends me?... Offended people,\" says Stine. A staunch supporter of first amendment rights and foe of political correctness, Stine asserts that rights should be universally applied. \"In a country with guaranteed rights to freedom of religion, its citizens are constantly trying to make faith in public spheres illegal, I am offended by that contradiction and want to talk about it as a comic.\" The strength of his conviction about our freedoms can be found in many places on WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c from \"Merry Christmas Too!\" (the right to celebrate religion) to \"At Least We're Not France!\" (the responsibility to take action as a country) to \"Spank\" (the ability to discipline our children the way we see fit). What would cause the wussification of Brad Stine? \"I hope that nothing ever wussifies me to deny my own personal beliefs,\" he says. \"Brainwashed wussies have been taught that standing up for yourself and defending your personal point of view makes you a close-minded hate monger.\" Stine stops short of defending his point of view as the ONLY one, adding \"...one must also be respectful of dissenting belief while supporting their own.\" He is, after all, an inclusive figure who trains his comedy to attack ideas, not the people who embrace them. Stine's faith forces him to acknowledge the respect and dignity of all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 even the wussies with whom he disagrees! Stine models his approach to comedy after legendary practitioners that he has known and loved over the years. Despite George Carlin's disdain for theistic beliefs, he has been a big influence on Stine. \"I always enjoyed Carlin for turning the tables on culture. He is an excellent writer that has endured for decades.\" More current comedic touchstones are Brian Reagan, Paula Poundstone, Jim Gaffigan and Monty Python, among others. Fear not, true believers \u00e2\u20ac\u201c with his brand new album, Brad Stine is here to save the world from WUSSIFICATION \u00e2\u20ac\u201c one politically-correct, offended person at a time!\"","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/author\/bstine"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/223"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/godscomic\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
