Eddy,

Rather than address this discrepancy that I brought to your attention from your comments to me (I suspect that your first comment was total sarcasm but it is improper blog etiquette to assume that a person’s words mean the opposite of what they actually say…so I pointed out in the above paragraph that the two posts were contradictory (hence leading to a convoluted dialog). Rather than address that I was clearly referring to two back ot back posts from you, you counter me with the notion that ‘it was only one sentence’.

If you had read one post above this one that you found problems with, you would have seen I did indeed address the discrepancy! I stated very clearly that it was Maggie I was talking about. I hope we can put this issue to rest now

Thanks, Timothy. I’ve just completed a cross-country move…purging 30 years of my life in Minnesota to move back to my family. I was pretty much out of touch with the news for the past two months. For the last few weeks, I didn’t even have a television (LOL. or a toaster, microwave, stereo…) So, all of my comments and/or questions on this matter were limited by what I was gleaning from the main blog, the comments and any links therein.
From what you’ve just revealed, I do believe she deserves to feel the heat of public scrutiny and/or criticism for the double-standards she embodies.

Someone who wants to tell me how to live but who isn’t willing to live that way themself.

Yep – couldn’t be more accurate. Before I was a Christian that was the biggest turn off. It still is the biggest turn off.
Okay – back to focusing on my own log. What a mess to clean up.

Ahhh
I thought you were talking about the longer discussion about perceptions in which I suggested that she was presented as such.
This bit of verbal shorthand may have confused you about my intent so I’ll change the wording:
Yep. After she
1) said that she supported “Biblical correctess” rather than political correctness, and
2) appeared for five services at her church where she said she “stayed true to her beliefs” which were “how she was brought up to believe” and where she and her pastor referenced 2 Timothy 3:12-13 – “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.” thereby implying that she was living a godly life, and
3) held a press conference to promote the National Organization for Marriage ad which starred her, and
4) announced to the press that she’d tell Perez Hilton that he needs Jesus, and
5) went on numerious news shows wherein she was presented – without objection or correction – as an example of a young woman willing to give up her dream to live out her faith, and
6) promised to defend marriage however she could
her behavior is fair game. Her parents are not.
