GLAAD Intolerant To Other People's Opinions

I'm sure you have heard already about the comments made by Phil Robertson of Duck Dynasty fame in his GQ interview. Unless of course you are living under a rock. With this, I'm sure you're already aware of the back lash.

No one is more of a supporter for all rights to all people for their beliefs than I am. This includes gays and lesbians. I believe everyone is entitled to live their life as they see fit. Provided of course that it doesn't inflict hardship onto someone else. My motto has always been "live life your way that best makes you happy."

I still believe in this.

I also believe in freedom of speech. However, what I don't believe in is silencing people of their personal beliefs. Nor do I believe that Phil Robertson should have been indefinitely suspended from the show for his comments. In fact, I don't see his comments as being offensive. Most in part because his comments were his religious beliefs, and taken from the words of the bible that is the center piece of his beliefs. His comments did not infringe on the happiness of others. What GLAAD has contributed to Mr. Robertson's suspension is an infringement on his happiness. 

I have said throughout my life that this thing they call "Political Correctness" is nothing more than communism. "Political Correctness" is designed to silence people of their opinions and beliefs, right or wrong as those opinions or beliefs might be in the eyes of those who do not agree with them. 

I used to be a supporter of GLAAD organization, but not anymore. Their intolerance of Mr. Robertson's opinion and or belief is an outrage within itself. How can you expect people to be tolerant of you and your opinions / beliefs if you are not tolerant to those opinions / beliefs that differs from your own? 

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Just because Mr. Robertson doesn't approve of the gay and lesbian life-style, doesn't mean he is intolerant to gays and lesbians. He is strictly going by what his religion teaches. What the bible teaches. So what is GLAAD's next move? To ban the bible? To ban Christianity? 

To take away Mr. Robertson's employment from the show Duck Dynasty is to put the fear in all Americans that we need to be silent when it comes to our personal opinions and beliefs otherwise, we will come after you to. This is the wrong message to be sending. 

My version of God differs from the majority, so naturally, the Christianity belief that being gay and or lesbian is an abomination doesn't wash with me. My thought is, "how can a God stand against his (or her) own creation? If being gay and lesbian is how one is born then apparently, with my commonsense approach, that is the way that God made his or her creation. Thus, that creation is NOT an abomination. 

What is an abomination is when GLAAD attacks those who do not believe as they do. (Or any group / organization for that matter.) 

Look, I am against hate. What I'm not against is the right for people to hate. I'm also against judging others, and just as Christianity may judge gays and lesbians, GLAAD and those who support that hate group are judging as well. 

What this action against Mr. Robertson tells me is that here in America, you do get punished for your opinions and beliefs if they differ from large groups or organizations. But here's the thing, in Mr. Robertson's comments, he also said that  heterosexuals that go from one partner to the next, and drunkards would also be prohibited from entering the kingdom of heaven. Well guess what, I'm a heterosexual that goes from one partner to another. I guess I will be going to hell in the Christianity belief system. Oh well, been there done that. But am I offended by his belief? His comments? No, not one bit. So why is the organization of GLAAD so damn offended? 

Here is a news flash, they're not offended, they're just intolerant to other people's opinions and beliefs. 

Here's hoping that the rest of the Duck Dynasty cast and family will end their contracts with the A&E Network just as they ended their contract with Phil Robertson as A&E has now shown that they too support communism, and intolerance to other people's opinions and beliefs. I know for myself that I will not be watching anymore programming on A&E armed with this knowledge. I do know one other thing, that I did not serve in the military to protect people's freedom and rights only to have something like this to happen in America. This is something I would expect China to do. 

GLAAD, you fail. But now I am GLAD that I see your true colors, and those colors are anything but red, white and blue. Same for A&E Network. Maybe we should start spelling America like this --------> Amerika. You know, give it a more communist look and feel to it. 

We're supposed to be living in a country where tolerance is advocated, so why then is that country so intolerant? Why is GLAAD so intolerant? A&E Network? Remember, just because Christianity "believes" all of us so called sinners are going to go to hell, doesn't mean that we actually are. It's just their belief. It's not a fact. But I am tolerant to those who choose to believe it.

What It's Like To Be Stalked

It's hard to describe the feeling of what it's like to be stalked. I think mostly, it's a feeling of confusion. You ask yourself that age old question, why? Why me? Yet, no answer is ever found. Such is the case with me. I constantly ask, "Why do the bullies stalk me?" and, "What is their objective?"

While I already have a good understanding as to why I get stalked, even beyond that, I still ask why? For example, I know why GenX of Genxpose hate blog stalks me, it's because she hates me. But why she hates me is a mystery within itself. I never did anything against her.

Of course, part of being a hate blog or a bully who runs a hate blog means that you have to lie. This is a Genxpose trademark. While I will touch base on that shortly, for now, I want to focus on the stalking aspects that I have to endure.

A while back, when I first joined Twitter, I tried out that "Klout" program they have. I didn't exactly care for it much, but while this is true, I still haven't deleted it. About one every couple months or so, Klout sends me an update in my email. For shits and giggles, I sign in and take a look. Usually, it tells me when people have responded to my tweets and or retweeted something I tweeted. No big deal.




Today, December 15th, 2013, I got another Klout update email. I clicked on it and signed in and this is when I saw it, that Gen X Media, or GenXFiles, (cue laughter) retweeted one of my tweets.




And what tweet did GenX retweet? Well, it was a tweet of mine showcasing one of poems on my "Carroll Bryant Collection" blog.






It's a poem I wrote when I was 19 years old called, "The Dream"





I posted this poem on November 7th, 2013. I'm just now finding out that she retweeted it. But why? I mean, we all know she hates me so why does she bother retweeting one of my tweets? More than that, why does she retweet from my poetry blog? Even more curious, why this poem? 

As I mentioned, I wrote it when I was 19 years old. I was in Norfolk at the time, in the Navy when I started getting this repeat dream of a room, half dark and half lit. I was always standing on the side of the light and on the side of the darkness, I could see a shadow and a pair of red eyes looking back at me. The shadow, or eyes, came with a dark voice. The voice was telling me that I was his son, that he was my father. 

I had this dream about five times during my time in Norfolk. I didn't include this tidbit in my "Norfolk" story on my other blog because I didn't think it was relevant to the story, which was about my relationship with my first fiancee'. 

However, about a year and a half after I left the military, my older sister told me about my real father. Up to that time, I thought my mothers first husband was my father. Turns out, the last name on my birth certificate wasn't real. That man was not my father. My real father was a motorcycle cop who died, a few months before I was born, in the line of duty during a chase on a wet road one night. 

During the time of this dream, I always thought it was something religious, like maybe it was Lucifer telling me that my soul belonged to him or something. (Or maybe even I was his spawn) O_O 

I know, "Damian" was running through my mind too. LOL 

My friend Hrisko, he didn't think it was related to religion. This coming from a somewhat very religious man. Turns out he was right. Now, in hindsight of course, I relaize it was my real father reaching out to me to tell me who he was and who I am. I am his son. Not the son of the man I shared my last name with. 

But again, I digress. Why is she stalking me? Why stalk that blog? It's just my poetry blog. My writing blog. And why that particular poem did she retweet? 

The world may never know. Genxpose may not even know. When I discovered this, I went to her Twitter account and looked at her tweets. The girl lives on the internet. She tweets more in a week than I do in a year. 

To ask why is an exercise in futility. The same exercise when you ask why she lies about me. Lies like, 1) Carroll is a pedophile and she fails to show any police record or screenshot to back it up. She doesn't even provide a screenshot of me interacting with an underage girl inappropriately. Hell, she doesn't even provide a screenshot of me interacting with an adult girl inappropriately. Her friend Jude can't even supply her with any emails to show that I ever acted inappropriately with her. How frustrating must that be for GenX?

2) She says I stalk, bully, and harass others yet again, she never shows any screenshot of me doing this. Unlike what I just showed you in this post, a screenshot of her retweeting one of my tweets of a poem from my writers blog. We all know she doesn't like me, so why does she go to my Twitter account and read my tweets? Why stalk me like that? What's the point?

3) She says I doc drop, yet she never shows a screenshot of that either. Nobody can find anywhere on this blog or any of my blogs where I doc dropped anyone. So why does she lie and say that I do? Better yet, why doesn't she just show a screenshot of me doxxing people?

4) She even tried to say that I knew Jude when she was 15 yet in one of my "GenX Says" series post, i showed everyone how impossible that was. Jude wasn't even a member of Goodreads until she was 16. But why lie like that? Why hate so much to the point where she will lie to try and make some useless or meaningless point? 

5) She says I called her a monkey when in fact the evidence I provided recently clearly shows I never called her no such thing, except for the fact that I refer to all the bullies as monkey's. But I didn't directly call her a monkey.

6) She says I knew she was a black woman all this time yet she never shows a screenshot that would support this. Everyone knows I think she is Amanda Welling. Last time I checked, Amanda Welling is white. 

7) She says I stalk her when in fact I have showed an email where she wrote me first, out of the blue, for no good reason. She also wrote about me first on her hate blog, and commented about me first too. This has already been long proven. So why does she lie like that? 

I could go on with all of her lies, but there is only so much time in one day. 

So I guess the only answer I could give to what it's like to be stalked is, it's confusing. So many questions, and absolutely no answers in sight. Let's just hope it stops in 2014. I doubt though that it will because of my upcoming book, "Goodreads: Or pedophilia?" I'm pretty sure once that book gets published, the stalking, harassment, and bullying will continue. 

And that's confusing.
