While I’m a fan of The Walking Dead and cheesy SyFy movies it goes to show you the twisted morals of America. It’s fine to shoot a child in the head, decapitate someone or watch them bleed out as long as you don’t slip a nip for say the “F” word while dying. I remember being young and one of those cops shows had planned on showing a naked butt and America got up in arms, people protested the network, wrote letter and cancelled their TV service.
All the death, violence and even an attempted rape and the most offensive scene so far on The Walking Dead was 2 men kissing (the funny thing is they aren’t even the first gay people on the show since one of the characters is a lesbian and had a girlfriend) but somehow it’s more offensive when it’s 2 men. We saw this recently in real life conservative politicians passing what they call “religious freedom” laws (Christian freedom of course since these same freedom loving people passed anti Muslim laws). A company had the nerve to speak out and all hell broke loose, it worked out well for them because right wing America rallied and raised almost 1 million dollars for them. I can’t help but wonder are these same people screaming it’s their god given right to refuse gay people going to turn away unwed mothers or divorced people like their god tells them?
The Pizza fundraiser as well as that for white cops who shoot unarmed kids really hit home as I’ve been trying to help my parents (mother is battling cancer a 2nd time and disabled father who is an army veteran) are about to lose their home because of unforeseen medical bills and a rapid loss of income. While some very generous people have helped with the fundraiser it got nowhere near the attention because both my parents are hard working and played by the rules, if they had done something bigoted or killed an unarmed black teen maybe it would get more attention. You can trace the moral decay of America back to the advent of cable news who glorifies stories like police shooting and immediately takes sides with out any facts. Right wing media jumps behind the cops and immediately starts attacking the victim and liberal media immediately defends the victim while attacking the police then a standoff like the Bundy Ranch happens and the script is flipped and right wing media supports the racist law breaking redneck with guns while liberal media supports the police. If you are a racist, bigot, anti-government nut job or whatever you fetish you used to be an outcast, now there’s a network or radio personality to not only agree with you but help make you a little more extreme.. For those that wonder what I fight for it's Ruth & Robert Cancer Fundraiser (to save home)
