Speak of the devil
Friday, November 7, 2014 at 01:44PM This is going around and no doubt you've seen it but nevertheless, I feel my commentary is needed.
And yes, this is what some (not me) would call a negative post -- not a unicorn in sight, no hand-holding, swaying to the plaintive strains of Kumbaya -- so if that sort of thing gives you a rash, do click out now.
You won't be missed.
My observations about what you just watched:
1. That boy is not from around there.
2. The whole thing was staged. As in, it wasn't the minor female's idea to do this; she was put up to it by an adult. Most likely the one holding the phone, making the video.
3. The street preacher is exercising his right to free speech, a freedom protected by the Constitution.
4. The minor female is doing the same thing.
However.
By screaming over the young man, insulting him and insisting that he shut up, the minor female is being rude, obstreperous, disrespectful, bratty, arrogant, blasphemous, inconsiderate, manipulative, crass, and a whole host of other equally unattractive and wholly inappropriate things.
She's not even a good little actress. Too aware of the camera.
The child needs to be taught manners, respect, decorum, tolerance -- that concept of which the godless left prates endlessly, but knows virtually nothing -- and the rudiments of conducting oneself in public with a modicum of class.
Not to mention First Amendment 101.
To include, yes dear, you have the right to free speech but so does everyone else. The issue of the child's execrable manners aside, she is exercising her right to speak, in order to tell him to shut up. And that's not her right and it's also not right. It's wrong.
You know I've got to say it: If I'd even thought of doing something like that when I was a kid, I would have been in for a whipping I'd not soon forget.
And I would have deserved it.
That's what this kid needs too. Except, for her, I fear it's already too late.
The die is cast. Sad but true.
And that is all for now.

The parents should be charged with child abuse. Clearly, they put her up to it and are indoctrinating her in the evil practice of hate and intolerance. And yes, it is noteworthy that the liberal left preach tolerance, but fail to live up to the standard. How ironic. And utterly wrong.
So sad that in all probability her parents put her up to this. It is true that the liberal left preach tolerance, but I think that liberals are so open minded that their brains must have fallen out. Certainly not thinking of how this little girl is going to grow up being intolerant, rude, disrespectful and a multitude of other bad manners. And not respecting the opinions and beliefs of others. Shame on them!!!

I may have to watch again as I thought I heard the child say "daddy", or is that what it's all about, Jenny? You know I am slow in many areas, especially lately. Regardless, she didn't seem to effect/affect him at all as he continued never once looking at her. No, I had not seen this before, but it's downright cruelty to allow our children to be so disrespectful. As I've lived and learned, kids normally follow what they hear from adults. Back when I was a kid, believe you me, we were to be seen and not heard, period. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground. Okay, I'm going to listen again as I find this very interesting.
Okay, I watched again and I'm pretty sure she didn't say "daddy". This is downright despicable , that a parent would allow that, and I agree with every single word you said. xoxo
@Sally ... she didn't say Daddy. The boy isn't old enough to be her father anyway. She's acting out for attention and he was her victim.
Yes, I saw later that he was very young, Jenny. So sad.
I keep thinking about that young man spreading God's word, and the fact that he was able to not show irritation; shows how committed he is to the Lord. xoxo
@Sally ... I agree. He handled himself with humility and poise in what had to have been a difficult few moments for him! May God bless him. xoxo
What an obnoxious child. What parent or caretaker could encourage this type of disrespectful, hateful behavior? Surely, the child must dislike herself intensely to act out like this, or she must have some mental issues that override good judgement. It's certainly hard to watch her aggressive actions.
