Perplexing II

“Perplexing” is the best way to describe my feelings lately.  The media directing their hand-picked stories to the masses for consumption has not changed as those stories have a bias that remains anti-conservative.

 

Over the past six months we have witnessed riots around the nation, caused by miscreants who like to complain about everything and nothing.

 

Most of those trouble makers are native to the areas they looted and burned, and have no one to blame but themselves.  Alas, they do.

 

At the first sign of mayhem, the police are called in to quell any property destruction and injury to lives.  The residents then complain that the police presence made them angry to the point they needed to throw cinder blocks through store windows.  Burning police vehicles didn’t hurt with this calming process.

 

It seems all this destruction was the result of a criminal being shot while not complying with orders.  That is perplexing.

 

The masses then invented a new phrase that actually didn’t apply to the situation at-hand.  “Hands up, don’t shoot,” was the propaganda that spewed across the nation to intimate the police shot an innocent black man.  He was black, but not necessarily innocent.

 

After several months of this tripe, the message became, “Black lives matter.”

 

Such a statement, while true, only goes part way to defining the situation.  When a similar phrase, “All lives matter,” was added by white neighbor constituents, the hoopla began, again.

 

The new cry was that “only black lives mattered.”  Even those white people who stood in solidarity with and among the grieving blacks were not recognized.  This is perplexing, too.

 

Which led me to a thought I had because of more news that wasn’t news at all.

 

I was born a man and plan on remaining one for the balance of my life.  I certainly don’t begrudge anyone from leading their life in any form whatsoever.  I recall a story of a Pennsylvania man who lives his life as a dog.

 

So it was with interest that I heard all the hype of an Olympian star who decided he wanted to live his life as a she.

 

All the news organizations and MSNBC picked up this story and ran with it for weeks.  Bruce Jenner, whose latest claim to fame is his marriage to the Kardashian clan, apparently felt his life would be better if he sat down to pee.

 

Interview upon interview upon interview found him telling fawning TV hosts he wanted to be a woman.

 

The big coming-out announcement occurred and he made a splash on the news and on magazine covers.

 

Bedecked in a gown wearing full makeup, and sporting tasteful jewels, he again gave interview after interview.  Comedians used him as fodder.  And the LGBT community hailed him as a “hero.”

 

This is where I realize you are thinking I made a mistake by referring to him as a him.

 

Mr. Jenner is still Mr. Jenner.  And he will remain so until his gonadectomy is done.  Otherwise he is just a man wearing a chiffon dress with satin high heels.  Perplexing, indeed.
