I really need to vent...so here we go.

1. One of my biggest annoyances, is when people try to place me on some crazy pedestal and proclaim me as "genius" or "smartest person in Idaho."I often feel that once people do that, it places a barrier. It places me in a position where people are afraid of my intelligence and afraid to hold normal conversations with me. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! If you want to know why I absolutely detest being called such, now you know. I hate the attention that comes with it, I hate the absolute shunning by society once they see that "you're one of them." (Not that I'm a heavy extroverted person, I'm not, but it would be nice to go into the world and not be referred to as the crazy smart dude that lives right around the corner. I recognize my own talents, I know I have them, but, really...zip it.

2. I'm defensive because I do not take to anyone attacking my person lightly, I don't care who you are. Dare do something that crosses the line, and thou shalt pay. On my list of accomplishments are getting a professor fired for calling me stupid, being thrown out of seminary, and a few other accomplishments. I don't bow down to the altar of political correctness and I'm not afraid to say what needs to be said. If something's in error I call it what it is. If something is wrong, I'll say something. I am a fighter...I don't play to lose the game.

3. I only consult those who are experts in the field that I have questions in. Why would I ask someone who didn't major in physics a physics question? That makes sense right? Of course not. So therefore, I did not complain when the book was erroneous. I sought 2nd opinions. and if the 2nd opinion agreed with me, I tossed it, if not, I taught what the 2nd opinion said. People act surprised that I ask for help, LOL, I'm just particular about things. If something doesn't sound right, I will say something, but only to those that understand my language. Thus I speak physics with physicists.

4. Let me just say...In my case, silence means multiple things. It could mean anger, it could mean depression, it could mean, contemplation or it could mean, I'm still plotting...which the last one is typically the most common way I use silence. Simply because i haven't mentioned something does not mean I don't know about it, it simply means, I'm preparing something, what that something is...it's mysterious...otherwise...live life normally...assume nothing....The kettle thickens...

5. I tend to like this Ann Barndhart person....let me copy and paste...and then add a few of my own.

THE BISHOPS ARE BEING PLAYED. LIKE CHEAP FIDDLES.

I do not understand how it is that this isn't glaringly, beat-you-over-the-head obvious, but whatever. I'll explain it. Listen up. Especially if you have a hat shaped like the blade of a posthole digger in your wardrobe, and people actually call you "Excellency."Withdrawing health insurance (like Franciscan University at Steubenville, Ohio), shutting down schools, closing adoption agencies, soup kitchens or ANYTHING ELSE in "protest" of ObamaCare and the HHS "mandates" is EXACTLY, PRECISELY, TOTALLY and COMPLETELY what the Obama regime wants.
Further, the reason why the "press" has OBVIOUSLY been given the order to keep all of this quiet and to not report in any way on the lawsuits filed by the dozens of various Catholic organizations this week against the Obama regime - the largest religious legal action ever taken against the U.S. government by a long shot - is obvious.
The Obama regime is sitting back and watching all of you cowardly fools fold your own tents. None of the stupid bread-and-circus addicted crowd knows anything about any of this. You have to break out of your narcissistic little world and understand that even though these things are earth-shattering to you, uh, most people in this country don't even know that their "government" has declared war on the Church.
So, in a few months, after you all have played right into their hands and shut down your facilities, hospitals, schools and services, congratulating yourselves on your "brave protest", the Obama regime is going to make a ginormous propaganda offensive telling all of the stupid TV-addled idiots that the Catholic Church doesn't give a crap about "the people" because they have shut down their hospitals, schools, their soup kitchens, their adoption agencies and won't even provide health insurance plans to the poor, poor youths attending their universities. The Catholic Church hates "the people", hates charity, hates sick people, hates women, hates children, hates poor people and is hoarding all of its money.
Oh, but the Obama regime LOVES you. The Obama regime will provide you and anyone else who joins their Free Shit Army with all of the "free healthcare", "free education", "free food" and free unicorn farts they could ever want or need.
Listen, you fools. YOU DON'T SHUT ANYTHING DOWN. You keep going exactly as you have been, and you force those dirty rotten SOBs to literally storm your hospitals and shut YOU down at gunpoint. And I'm not kidding. Make them physically shut down your hospital by dragging you out at gunpoint. Make them physically shut down your schools. Make them shut down your university by force because you won't cover abortions in your student health plan. Make them physically shut down your soup kitchens. Make them shut down your adoption agencies because you won't hand a baby boy over to two men who like to jam various and sundry body parts up each others' rectums.
In other words, STAND AND FIGHT.
The only proper course of action is total non-compliance with these totalitarian edicts of the regime, and FORCING THEIR HAND.
Anything less than that, and you LOSE. MEN fight wars. If you refuse to do your duty and act like MEN, then the war is already lost. And make no mistake, cowardice is a grave sin, and you will answer for it.
Every bishop is given a crosier upon his ordination to the episcopacy. A crosier is a shepherd's staff. It is a six to seven foot long staff that a shepherd uses to beat the crap out of wolves. That's your job. Beating the crap out of the wolves - not killing all of the sheep yourself so that there is nothing left for the wolves to eat.
MAN UP!!!! FIGHT, YOU FOOLS!!!

I really couldn't of said it better myself. we need to fight, period :) Perhaps I wouldn't have called them fools. but I can't blame her, for years the Bishops' conference has just been the democratic party at prayer and to some degree have brought this upon themselves.
