CAUTION: 

I’ve listed a few of the more disgusting track-backs I’ve received overnight.  They are not for children.

 

 

 

 

 

Then I discovered some 425 messages in the outlook express  inbox – at least 75 of them trackback notifications.   Then there were another 39 in my AOL inbox.  Rumsfeld is home, looking well, ignoring me.  Miss Piggy has grown, and I fear Little Joe Cartwright is pregnant. 

 

This is a sample of the trackbacks waiting for me on The Pink Flamingo.  Lovely aren’t they?  These are the printable ones, and I wince using them, but I’ve had it.

It would probably be easier to just put a super blog post together today, quicker than a rant, but something really ticked me off this evening.  Let’s rewind a little.  Something has been bothering me since the Coulter “F” word but I couldn’t quite explain it beyond agreeing with Malkin’s comments about the inappropriateness of the comment in a “G” rated audience.  Then today, while I was driving home, through White Sands, listening to O’Reilly on XM that it finally dawned on me.  Civil discourse with societal responsibility no longer exists, or just because you can say it in public is no sign you should.

 

The other day on the news I heard a woman filed a lawsuit against a family in CA because they complained because she used the “F” (not Coulter’s “F” word) word in an airport terminal around their young child.  When they complained, and a cop cited her for disturbing the peace, she screamed freedom of speech.  Somehow I just don’t think the Founding Fathers such as they were, envisioned crude, out of control trashing talking women using extremely disgusting profanity in front of innocent children as their version of freedom of speech.  Frankly, if I were the parents, I would have had the woman arrested for child endangerment and sex crimes against a minor.  What she did was the verbal rape of a child.  But, freedom of speech has it anyone can say anything except “fire” in a crowded theater, and get away with it.

 

When did the use of filth and profanity in front of an innocent child qualify as freedom of speech?  Doesn’t the child have implied protection against corruption? 

 

When did it become the vogue for a handful of teenage girls who are barely able to drive to go onstage at a family friendly gathering and use the “V” word from the V*****Monologues? I know this earmarks me as a prude, but sorry, some of my grandmother’s training did “take”.  There are words I will not use in polite company and this is one of them.  And, yes I know what the play is all about and my niece, Rachel directed it while in college, but I don’t use words for gender based body parts.  I will admit though, I do use another word pairing, a**h*** to describe the super here at my condo complex. 

 

I’m sorry, I digress.

 

When did it become cause celeb for a handful of little twits to be made famous on morning television for using such a word, disobeying their principal, and screaming free speech?  I am glad they aren’t my children.  They’d have need for cause celeb when I was through with them. 

 

Why?

 

Oh, while we are at it, if these same little mindless twits were using the “J” word – (you know, the one word we dare not mention in polite society – JESUS) they would be ostracized, expelled, railed against, and would be required to have their dirty little minds and their dirty little mouths washed with something unimaginably horrific and cathartic.

 

Just incase you have yet to notice it has nothing to do with freedom of speech.  Just because speech is free and valueless does not allow you to use just any word just any time.  I do believe it is Rush Limbaugh who is constantly saying words have meanings.  I’m taking it one step farther.  Meanings have implications.  Implications denote actions.  Actions have consequences both intended and un.

 

What are the consequences of unbridled freedom of speech?

 

Why can’t we apply a little of that ‘political correctness’ to freedom of speech and have some ‘social correctness of consequences’?

 

When did the strong quit looking after the weak?

 

When did using it become socially acceptable to use words that corrupt children?

 

I thought we, as a society and individuals had a responsibility not to corrupt children and expose them to the seamier side of life.  I do know if I had had a child in that audience, the school, the girls, and their parents would have been slapped with a lawsuit and quite possibly I would have complained to the authorities, just like the parents at the baggage claim and just like Malkin did when Coulter uttered the “F” word. 

 

I’m sorry, but just because  you have the freedom of speech to use any word you want, is no indication you should be using it  There’s such a thing as morality.  Oopse – our society no longer honors morality.  Just because you can call yourself a “Christian Conservative” and say “faggot” in a room where families are present is no sign you should be allowed to do so. 

 

One other thing:  I am sick and tired of hearing the F*** word.  I hate that word.  I do not  use it and I do not allow it to be used in my presence.
