STICKS AND STONES

THE BUZZWORD, OUTRAGE, WON'T GO AWAY, BUT WHENEVER IT IS EXPRESSED, IT IS MISPLACED. A DEMOCRAT FROM CLEVELAND WAS "OUTRAGED WHEN THE REPUBLICANS CUT MEDICAID BENEFITS FOR 25,000 POOR PARENTS LAST YEAR." RATHER IT SHOULD BE THE WORKING PUBLIC WHOSE MONEY IS MISAPPROPRIATED FOR 'HAND-OUTS' THAT SHOULD BE OUTRAGED. SOME COURAGEOUS POLITICIANS SHOULD SPEAK OUT FOR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

REPUBLICAN VOTERS ARE OUTRAGED OVER THE " PROFLIGATE SPENDING" BY THEIR PARTY POLITICIANS ESPECIALLY EVIDENCED IN PORK PROJECTS. RATHER THESE VOTERS AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN GENERAL, DIRECT THEIR OUTRAGE INWARD BECAUSE A CULTURE OF EXPECTATION AND SPOILED LIVING CONTINUES TO EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO DOLE OUT PROGRAMS AND INITIATIVES IN EVER INCREASING NUMBERS AND AT EVER INCREASING COSTS.

THE "HUBBUB OF OUTRAGE" OVER THE POPE'S REMARKS BY SOME OF THE "UMMA," MUSLIM BELIEVERS, MIS-PLACES REASON. BENEDICT XVI, GIFTED WITH INTELLECTUALITY AND TRUTH, IS BEING DISSED WORLD-WIDE BY VIOLENCE FROM MUSLIMS WHO CLAIM THEIR RELIGION IS PEACEFUL. RATHER THE MAJORITY OF DEVOUT, RATIONAL FOLLOWERS OF THE PROPHET OUGHT TO BE OUTRAGED AT THE CONDUCT OF THOSE WHO SHOULD BE ASHAMED. SOME COURAGEOUS MUSLIMS SHOULD SPEAK OUT AGAINST IRRESPONSIBILITY.
STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT NAMES CAN NEVER HARM ME.' UNTIL NOW. UNTIL NOW WHEN FREE SPEECH IS NOT FREE; ITS PRICE IS VIOLENCE.
