Why Can'T People Leave Other Folks Alone!

It seems there are self-appointed disciples who've nothing else to do, Except propound their inane dogmas to assail folks like me and you! This nation is being torn asunder by a few people acting on their own. Why can't they find productive things to do and leave the rest of us alone! I find it offensive that Christ and Christianity are held up to ridicule. With absolutely no apologies to anyone, in my house He alone will rule! Now if others should happen to have a different point of view, That is fine with me, but leave me alone to worship in my pew! There are those who want any reference to God to be ignored. Remember, "Blessed is the nation Whose God is the Lord!" Prayer is banned in the public realm and is prohibited in public school. Separation of church and state is fine, but shouldn't common sense rule? Our nation's flag, that shining beacon of hope for this troubled world, By some of our own people is scorned and at it profanities are hurled. Seems that some folks use The First Amendment as a fuzzy cloak, To justify most everything with a screen of mirrors and smoke! Some folks are easily upset if what you do or say ain't politically correct. I hereby aver my Declaration of Independence and such twaddle I reject! I'll say and do as I please and if it offends, sorry, I'll continue on my own! "Progressives" may do as they please, fine, but leave us other folks alone! Robert L.

Agreed. I don't think it could have been put any better. People are just too full of arrogance nowadays to consider leaving things as they are and people to their own. Love it. BD

I think you will have lots of support for words here. Common sense seems to have gone out the window. every day we read of situations that astound us. and I believe it to be a world wide problem... well written Rob...Margaret
