I’m not a RACIST! I’m just a bigot!
The origin of the definition from the 15th century: in Old French bigot- an extremely dedicated OR hypocritical person. Isn’t it just like the French to create such a word? The earliest English definition was- a religious hypocrite. It later evolved:
Bigot, by definition (now)-
1) One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.
2) A person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.
3) A person who constantly and stubbornly holds a particular point of view.
4) A person who regards his own faith and views in matters of religion as unquestionably right, and any belief or opinion opposed to or differing from them as unreasonable or wicked.
5) A person who is intolerant of opinions which conflict with his own, as in politics or morals.
6) One obstinately and blindly devoted to his own church, party, belief, or opinion.
How many people white, black, brown, red, yellow or green; Christian, Muslim, Jew or other religion; liberal, Conservative or middle of the road; Republican, Democrat or 3rd Party; above the age of 12, do you know who does NOT fit that definition in some way?
Personally, I fit the definition #3 pretty well. I just can’t look past my own constant and stubborn belief that a baby has a right to be born, despite its race, financial situation or even despite its biological parent’s wish not to have the “burden” of a baby, as Obama would put it.
I actually fit #4 pretty well also. Forgive me for my vehement certainty that Jesus Christ is the son of the ONE God and our one way to salvation.
Forgive me for my bigotry, but I may have a slight distaste for those of another religion specifically (Islam) due to their “innocent” musings regarding my lack of a right to be alive, since I don’t believe as they do.
Forgive me for my bigotry, since I believe as I am taught by the Holy Bible: Murder is unreasonable and wicked.
You shall not murder.
MURDER- the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing another under circumstances defined by statute (as with premeditation); especially: such a crime committed purposely, knowingly, and recklessly with extreme indifference to human life or during the course of a serious felony (as robbery or rape).
I don’t know what kind of bigot it must make me to dare believe that those rights would apply to the life of a human who has committed NO sin and done no wrong?
Deuteronomy 27:25
"Cursed is the man who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person."…
Would that ONLY apply to an abortion doctor or would it also apply to a person who votes for somebody who is pro-abortion, so that they may receive welfare in any form? You decide! It’s your cursed soul if you decide wrong.
~Because of this vehement belief I am a REPUBLICAN,
NO MATTER WHAT, unless they are pro-choice!
I would never vote for anybody who believes abortion is okay. Obama and Clinton BOTH vote pro-abortion EVERY single opportunity they get. They even voted against Lacy’s Law. Voting against it is stating that when a crime committed against a pregnant woman results in the death of her baby, that perpetrator is charged with NO extra crime beyond the crime against the Mother.
Proverbs 6-
16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
While I have no prejudices against people because of race, I guess I am also a bigot by liberal definition, because I am utterly intolerant of those who believe I owe them something because of wrongs perpetrated against their ancestors by my ancestors (maybe). My ancestors are from the North (Yankees), but I am white- so does that mean I owe somebody who has NEVER been a slave because somebody far back in their lineage was a slave and somebody far back in my lineage COULD have kept slaves?
If so, I had a friend growing up who was raped by 5 black men, so all black people owe ME for the undue stress it caused ME, right? NO! How ridiculous would that belief be? Even the girl who was the victim is NOT owed anything by ALL black people.
It is ironic how as a Republican I am automatically seen as prejudiced!
Republicans have done more for civil rights than ANY party in any time.
After all, did Abe Lincoln (a Republican) do NOTHING for the black race?
Is it NOT racist to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. and to IGNORE the accomplishments of Abraham Lincoln?
You tell me, is it because Lincoln did less for blacks than King?
OR is it because Lincoln is white?
Lincoln died because of his civil rights beliefs also and a liberal Democrat sympathizer killed him.
I wish people would REALLY start seeing one another as equals, like they claim to want!
We need to wipe the slate clean. Remove all racially biased programs and organizations from government, such as Affirmative Action. Then stop promoting violence against others of any race, EVEN in MUSIC.
Does that mean I am for censorship and against freedom of speech?
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Abridging= shortening, restricting or depriving
Answer this: IF I worked around classified government documents and I SPOKE of that classified information to the Taliban and later caused the death of thousands of innocent people, would that be protected by my freedom of speech?
That freedom is limited when you are putting other people in danger. So what about the police officers who rappers talk about shooting? Do they not deserve protection? That freedom is yet another freedom perverted by liberal lawyers and politicians to give them a loophole to slander and endanger others at will. Until the 20th Century, people were moral enough to have no need to battle in court for that first amendment freedom, but that was before the country strayed from it’s Christian values so far.
And what about:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”? Are the liberals in Congress not violating that portion of the First Amendment with the laws taking God out of schools and forcing people to say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
We don’t get it both ways, libs!
I have the utmost respect for any black person who doesn’t hate me or my entire race for the past and who believes in TRUE equality, not the latest liberal venom spewed upon them to convince them the Democrats are the ONLY ones who are not against them.
The Republican Party was created as a split from the Democratic-Republican Party, leaving the liberals (Democrats) and their pro-slavery platform. They split the parties with a primary goal of abolishing slavery. REPUBLICAN= civil rights (NOT perverted unconstitutional ones, like fought for today)/ DEMOCRATS = Pro-slavery.
Look for yourself at a 124 years side by side civil rights platform comparison:

I grew up next door to a very successful black family in OH and the only difference I knew between us was- a tan, until I moved to FL. There I attempted friendships with kids of all races. I was shunned by the majority of black people I tried to befriend and white people were equally obtuse toward me when I attempted inter-racial friendships. As I became old enough to date, I was attracted to boys with blonde hair and blue or green eyes, which never changed. The black males suddenly opened their minds to me. However, I had no interest in dating them, so I was labeled a racist. To this day, I am uncertain why my taste in men made me prejudice??? After all, I was the one who was shunned by the majority of blacks who I tried to befriend, but since I wouldn’t have sex with a black boy, I was the racist?
The black family I was brought up next door to in Ohio was like my family. I loved them very much until the day they died and I still love their kids or grandkids who are still alive. My older sisters were the same age as their two daughters and they were best friends. The Mother was my mentor and protector. She was a wonderful person. They were self-educated intelligent Christian people. They (the Mother and Father) grew up in the midst of the civil rights movement and were never handed anything. They got their business running without handouts, grants, affirmative action or welfare and they managed to become a highly respected fixture in my home town without any of those things. They were very aware and alert of the fact that those programs (handouts) would ruin many blacks. And it unfortunately did! However, I do believe people can change, but first they have to stop listening to liberals who want to make them believe they are owed something by our white government and our white people and start getting back to biblical principals and standards to govern their actions. People like Condoleezza Rice are living up to their potential and not judging others by color. She is somebody to set a standard for black women, not some gansta B- baby mama.
Black Americans were on a very serious cultural incline before these racist programs were established. Now there is an abortion clinic on every corner in black neighborhoods and a great majority of the kids don't know their Dad or don’t have him directly involved in their lives. This happened because they were offered a bigger check for having kids without a marriage, rewarding bad behavior (sin) and NOT obligating the males to stay around, since there was no marriage. I don’t care what your race is, IF you are a Christian you must hold your standards in life up to biblical scrutiny.
With all of that said if you are a racist who does not care about the right to life of babies or the Christian freedoms in this nation, you are a Democrat and should feel free to vote that way. If that does NOT describe you and you have been voting Democrat, you are voting incorrectly.
