When I was younger, MUCH younger, life was simple. Saturday morning cartoons were only on Saturday morning, and we looked forward to them all week. We played Red Light, Green Light and Mother May I?. We played stickball, handball, stoopball....or just bounced a ball and recited " A my name is Anna and my husband's name is Al....". It was simple, and it was good clean safe fun. We didn't know about any crimes on the news because they weren't flashed on our browser's homepage because we didn't have browsers or homepages! We did have Atari, Nintendo and Colecovision. The video games were simple fun too, Mario never shot Luigi with a semi-automatic, and Donkey Kong's Ape didn't knife the princess. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING has changed, and most not for the better.
Today I was on Facebook, my usual morning fix with my coffee, and I read a post about a petition to have Bert and Ernie get married on Sesame Street!! After I wiped my spit-take coffee off my laptop, I tried to wrap my brain around what good this would do. I have come to the conclusion that it would serve no purpose whatsoever! Are they kidding me? I am actually offended that this is what things have come to and that I am subjected to this! Let me preface everything I am about to write by saying that I am ALL for human rights, gay rights, animal rights muppet rights, and all other rights this country has given us. I am not opposed to gay marriage, though I personally do not think it should be done in a church. With that said, do we need to include it in every aspect of everyone else's life? Yes, gay people exist, Yes, they can legally marry, Yes, they can legally adopt children and YES I am fine with that....so please do not force it into every sitcom, tv series, movie, OR CHILDREN'S SHOW. (Though, I adore Modern Family!!) but....Furthermore, Bert and Ernie are not actually gay muppets. That is just a joke grown ups say to amuse ourselves. They are two men who live together and never have girlfriends. They sleep in the same bedroom and fight like married people....but .........wait.....maybe they are gay! Who cares, my point is, gay marriage should be explained to children by their parents when they are ready to understand and not get confused about it. Sesame Street age is not an appropriate age to do this, and Big Bird and Snuff....wait....are they gay too?...(sidetracked, sorry)....Big Bird and Snuff are not the ones to explain same sex relations to 4 year olds!
It just seems that political correctness is way way way overboard these days. It's complicated. It's overdone, and quite frankly...it's effin annoying. I am not singling out gay marriage, not at all. Everywhere I turn things are changing to suit the squeaky wheel. One dumbass ,moronic idiot says we shouldn't say "Under God" in OUR traditional and heartfelt Pledge of Allegiance, and we bend over backwards to help him out. I'd like to help him out.....RIGHT OUT OF MY COUNTRY! Then we have our religious issues. Our schools want to rename THE CHRISTMAS TREE. They call it a Holiday Tree. Is there anything more infuriating? I think that one takes the cake. It is a Christmas tree, always has been, always will be. Maybe I will join the insanity and petition to change the Menorah to Holiday Candles. So generic, dontcha think. BUT, I would never even think to do that because that is not MY RIGHT.
So cheers to all of you, with your idiotic ideas, your abuse of your rights and your politically correct asses. I hope you at least thank all the men and women who fight for your right to even speak your mind. Or maybe it isn't politically correct to admire them...ya know, with the war and all? Grow a pair America, this isn't Sesame Street, this is life. Real life. Don't be the government's muppets. Take thier hands out of your asses and walk on your own two feet. Sometimes, being Correct is INcorrect.
