Comments for Be careful messing with a godly man . . . | Eastern North Carolina Now

Surprise, Stan --- the email did not come from Boyd Queen who happens to be a retired federal employee. He is Conservative, but knows from his perusal of BCN that it is a medium based on hate and harsh criticism---WITHOUT POSITIVE SUGGESTIONS TO IMPROVE that which it criticizes.

I have never seen you get so mad so quick when another reader uses the FB approach to confront you. I think we all need to see that round:

www.facebook.com

The more your stuff becomes more public, the more hateful it shows itself to be. The growing readership is good. Most people do as I did to see what it is and ---noting the level of criticism with attitude of hate --- decide to confront it after a while.

A raging bull is best conquered or trained by using his tactics against him after some observation. In this case, Boyd, quickly gave you a laugh over you claim that you "Know Everything" and should be the king of BCN. You could not take it, my friend.

I love ya, man. Don't take it so personal / relax and let others have our place in the world and your mag. You have already proven you can be fair by letting me and 2 others post articles other than abject conservatism. Perhaps that is why the readership is growing so rapidly and diversity is a part of that program . . .

As with US Immigration ~~~ our communities become more interesting as diversity comes into the white southern stubborn we thought was the only way to go . . . Welcome to Emory Diversity University!!!

Stan---are you quaking to realize there are more then just me out here telling your Hate to take a hike???

My friend is likely to register and then he can share more details. He is senior to me / has been a Baptist Preacher all his life / got booted by the evil of conservatism from a Florida Church / was supported and helped by Jews, no less / is now retired in the vicinity of both the Colonel and BT.

He lives near Stone Mountain and both of us know well how hard granite can have an image of the South and its integrity blasted into its face. . .

You have 2 of my old time friends posting and trending "Stanitized"---now I have another friend from the big metro who takes no prisoners with his lazier sharp analysis. If you shake a hornet's nest, they quickly get mad enough to make you jump in the Pamlico River and beg for mercy, my brother . . .

I have readers all around when I post an article. One just emailed me his comment:

Your article about Jimmy Carter is well taken…it was and is crude/callous/thoughtless/to beat on such a kind and gracious man like the often-despised Jimmy Carter. As my Yankee friends would say…ENOUGH ALREADY!
Actually criticism about anyone….especially those whose reputation is built more on ‘opinions/likes and dislikes rather than factual events of behavior….who suddenly comes down with severe illness /difficulties/hard times/set backs of any sorts is as much a reflection against the person doing the criticism than of the person experiencing the hard times…Did the liberal world suggest in any way that Reagan deserved being shot? Did the liberal talking points laugh/mock or make fun of R Reagan when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? What liberals made an issue---and how much did they stir the issue---of Bush’s daughter being caught with alcohol underage… en.wikipedia.org ...? What liberal called for an investigation of Geo Bush and his questionable military leave? And even now as criticism and mounting evidence are forthcoming about the deception of the Iraq war…what are the Conservatives---who like to claim to be above this Fox News attitude----doing…they are giving Hillary Clinton Hell for Benghazi…while ignoring/ saying nothing at all about that dozen or so attacks on Bush’s embassies and numerous deaths relate to them…McConnell and Boehner has some snide comment to make about Obama almost daily as together they obstruct any and everything Obama tries to do…..Cruz, Paul and others are equally acid mouth…..NOW COMPARE THAT WITH THE FEW TACTFUL COMMENTS (OBAMA HAS BEEN FORTHCOMING WITH COMMENTS) FROM DEMOCRATs ABOUT GOP’s CONSTANT OBSTRUCTISM AND NO…NO. You remember when Geo Bush acknowledged his younger days…he even skipped over his DUIs etc… and refused to talk of it anymore…it was dropped…and almost removed from the Democratic talking points….BUT.. .when Bill Clinton say he smoked pot once, but didn’t inhale… he was made a laughing several stock….and even now his passing moment with Monica L is still the hot topic of conversation….REALLY, for the Conservatives to speak of ‘liberal talking points’ is almost laughable. In an effort to be fair….the Conservatives’ love affair with the ‘past’ is a universally recognized trait of character…. (though some do move on beyond the days gone by).
With a little imagination, I suppose we all could find something on each other to criticize and thus try to neutralize one another’s influence….HOWEVER…the message of the NT speaks volumes….’Be angry and sin not.’ Sounds contradictory….don’t know about you…but I have found that reference to be reminding us that the ‘work and results of expressed anger’ can be VERY destructive…(though sometimes that greatest positive work is driven by ‘anger’ as in…he works out his anger in the shop…(I’ve done it many times) or on the golf course…or wherever one can channel that anger in doing something positive and constructive). I’m far from a psychologist…but I’m smart enough to realize that a person harboring anger can be a mean and merciless SOB. (Isn’t a lot of this found in the race riots…as if to say if some were not as anger as they were they would not be as destructive as they are… therefore it is important to get the anger out of ones system lest he/she going around dumping on innocent little old ladies, preachers, politicians and anyone else that person might have a we bone to pick but may not have an opportunity to pick it….or don’t have the guts or courage to face them head on….so we pick a meaningless aspect (your ryegrass) and whip it to death…. Isn’t this where ‘kicking the dog comes in’? usually in those situations where we can’t face the source of anger….we express that anger on those that won’t fight back…PERHAPS ITS NOT THE ANGER THAT IS THE SIN….BUT THE WRONGFUL / DISRUPTIVE/DISTRUCTIVE EXPRESSION OF ANGER AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES….and like you…I feel this is what that crap from Fox News was….inappropriate.

Trying to get BT to be honest about anything is like pointing my .270 BAR with its Schworsky Scope (stolen from my house) at the Headless Horseman. I shoot 3 in a 3" circle at 100 yards, BT --- watch your step lest I shoot you out of your spot on the battlefield of long ago VN days.

You have admitted you lived a life of Playboy upon your return from battle. Is that what you learned as you promised God on the battlefield --- if He would deliver you from death --- you would do better in the future???? That kind of Foxhole Faith caused the soldiers of WWII to attend church and do good upon their return to the real world, buddy!!!

For Stan who did not read the linked post to MSNBC:

(1) "Five days after Beau Biden’s death, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appeared at a Michigan fundraiser where he publicly mocked Vice President Biden. A reporter for the Detroit News asked Cruz after his remarks about the propriety of taking rhetorical shots at Biden, so soon after his son’ death, and Cruz simply walked away without answering."

(2) "In his “soapbox” remarks at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz criticized Jimmy Carter’s presidency - a day after Carter’s moving public admission about his cancer.

“I think where we are today is very, very much like the late 1970’s. I think the parallels between this administration and the Carter administration are uncanny, same failed domestic policy, same misery, stagnation and malaise, same feckless and naive foreign policy. In fact, the exact same countries, Russia and Iran, openly laughing at and mocking the president of the United States.”
On a substantive note, Cruz’s rhetoric is plainly ridiculous and deeply at odds with reality. Even he ought to know better."

But even putting facts and pesky policy details aside, it was literally yesterday when former President Jimmy Carter, now 90, spoke publicly about cancer spreading to his brain and the medical treatment he’s receiving.

Cruz couldn’t take cheap shots at the ailing former president some other time?"

Stan---when you want to act as though I spout rubbish when you always do absolute Conservative Truth ~~~ I might have to call the men in white coats to visit you, my man . . .

Once more, Stan ----

In typical conservative fashion, BT---you are twisting this to act as though God is oblivious to our actions and would never punish anyone. The actions of these 2 particular men was to eliminate me by hook or by crook---irregardless that Deacons are supposed to solve problems rather than create them.

I was involved in a bad church situation where I took a week from my insurance practice to help SOLVE a church staff problem about to blow. As an Associate Pastor in BOTH my first churches, people came to me griping about the Senior Pastor. In BOTH cases I got people together rather than use it to my advantage to try and become the Senior Pastor with sneaky stuff. They appealed to my ego and found me working for peace over a church fight.

I am getting most frustrated with the TWIST of you and Stan over this. It tells me you are trying too hard to dismiss the attitudes you have which promote Conservative Hate. Why such comes with the territory of "I won't be moved" is beyond my experience and outlook.

Blessing on you both to see ourselves more clearly in the mirror of God's love.

Yes / N to exactly WHAT????

Fox News is treading on a godly man, as I believe they are --- HELL YES they are messing with a man of peace and integrity and I would advise them to put "burial in asbestos cloth" in their final health directive . . .

NOW ~~~ is this clear or do I miss what you are saying --- to avoid my point about messing with godly men and women with mud and hate?????

I may have to bring the Chipper down to the office if this keeps up . . .we shall discuss it on a cold morning with diesel smoke swirling around the intake chute we are sitting on --- so we know how important honesty and love are . . .Jesus DID use a whip to get attention in his day. Mine belches blue smoke and shakes with diesel power, gents . . .

I have always tried to follow the example of Christ the best I can---even in these posts, Ted McD. Jesus used the whip on the Temple steps with moneychangers / used a towel that night to confront the Disciples over their quarrel about position at the Last Supper.

Whip / Towel --- 2 different ways to try and let people know when they are out of line with God's ways. The basic concept SIN in the Greek word, harmartia, is SEPARATION --- from God / one another / your true self God wants you to become and what he wants you to do --- following the BIBLE in the New Testament.

Political hate and constant turmoil fall under the definition of SIN I am citing. The best tactic of Screwtape is to fool people into thinking they are good when they descend the slow slope to hell on earth . . .

You made accusations again, with no facts, and you would not stand behind your words.

You are the prototypical Liberal; this is the Liberal M.O. - facts just get in the way ... right Liberal Gene.

You may be terrible at proving any point, but there is one thing that you are prolific at:

You are not answering my question. What did the FOX commentators say that was so bad?

Commented: Friday, August 21st, 2015 @ 9:09 am By: Stan Deatherage

That is the same video as is in the post, and you just used 3 comments to still not make a declarative statement as to why FOX News is at fault, just kept preaching.

Come on here, being a Liberal must mean more than all these Simple words signifying nothing.

Will you not elucidate?

We have a problem with 2 things I sent:
***the picture and story behind the grave marker at a church I served and where I was fired over certain power hungry members thwarting the growth.
***the link of the last item is broken.

I shall resend it and see if it can be made more right than it is at the moment. Thanks for the quick posting, Stan. We are perfecting a great e-magazine with growing readership and you are at the core of the forward thinking.
