ex-priest - just another ex

BULLY OF THE WEEK SPOTLIGHT

FRIAR FRED

morning joe's resident holy man

every so often a priest makes headlines.
it is rare this is good news for the priest or the catholic church.
fortunately for priests, president obama is shining his "hope and change THIS!" spotlight on the entire church and it's dissatisfied vaginas.
it has been widely reported that 98% of catholic females use birth control, leaving a measly 2% that are neither dissatisfied nor concerned because they follow the fecking vagina rules. this seems, well, extremely disproportionate to the number of women partaking of the eucharist every sunday while they are unrythmically safe-sexing the whole week long.
liars liars skirts on fire. and your husbands too!
pffft.
another issue another day.

back to friar fred.
once upon a time, in a tiny hamlet, in a tiny state, sat a tiny man.  fred  liked https://www.facebook.com/MorningJoe
when i began threading at mj, fred was cordial enough, however, i had the tremendous misfortune of living among hamlet's just like fred's little 'let, so i was guarded.
i am not the hamlet type.
and fuck the henryVIII stuff, too.
a very female unfriendly group of guys.
there's some irony properly used, dan.



i am pretty sure my personality is growing apparent the more i write, and i am not, well, a shrinking violet.
perhaps being an ex-priest, friar fred brings some girl-baggage to the thread; i dunno. but needless to say, friar fred and i did not hit it off. 

i have yet to discover any imperfect part

huge surprise.
when i think about priests, i could have several, reasonable thoughts. i choose to think of priests like this:
priests are supposed to be like religious mary poppinses: practically perfect in every way, like god's army of  soul nannies.
now, i understand priests are human beings above all else, and like all humans, there will always be a freak thrown in. i believe most priests are great nannies. i also believe if you are a ex-priest, you are ex for a reason. and is there really a good ex? even ex-smokers can turn into utter non-smoking assholes, so most most exes, suck.
i think i have stumbled upon friar freds' ex-essence.
 
one moment, fred is very poppinsey:

FriarFred  I know but the amazing lack of human compassion and understanding from someone who was once considered a hero of the left for his uncovering abusive mental institutions would stoop to the lowest level

or
Friar Fred  Well i guess this reminds us to not judge a book by its cover.....Honorable Soldier, not so honorable citizen. One must wonder if he joined to escape his personal life and his sins as a civilian or if it was indeed predicated on his patriotism after 9/11

which would lead a reasonable person to believe friar fred was indeed one of "the good guys".
he uses words such as compassion, and offers advice to all: "don't judge a book by it's cover."
friar fred musta been an awesome priest.
lucky little hamlet there!!
screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeching halt!

at any given time; however, the ex- friar fred says shit like this:
Friar Fred Richard Daniel is a troll he's not here to do anything but disrupt. I suggest all of us rational folk block him and end his influence over the discussions...same with Cat

 westboro is a hamlet?

friar fred could be a  great threadhost; however, freds' 1st amendment leaves out that part where the 1st amendment applies to all, and not just:

freds' likers

fred uses a photograph of himself with grey hair. fred is a grown-up. fred bullies posters daily. fred promotes censoring others and encourages threaders to block or report users he disagrees with or does not like. fred calls other adults names and regularly posts slanderous information about fellow threaders.

if you see friar fred at any of the following msnbc pages, please tell fred: BULLIES SUCK and you're not going to tolerate it!

bullies and hoodies

 

above all else, my heart breaks for the parents of trayvon martin. so far, the only absolute truth i can accept is, there is no more unimaginable pain or grief than the loss of your child. period.
i am inexpressibly sorry.
al, i hope you will find comfort and solace from those you love during this difficult moment. i am sorry for your loss.
but i still do not like you.
ok. now i rant.

a disclaimer-
i will not:
i will not replay events that occurred 3 weeks ago in sanford, fla.
nor will i render my opinion on events that occurred 3 weeks ago in sanford, fla.
i have a modest legal background, and aside from a few obvious cases that i followed like it was crack, i have finally learned to hold off on judging the guilt or innocence of a defendant, pretrial.
this is not to mean i won't offer opinions, oh no....
i have so many of them, the dvsm suggests i am hoarding.
i reject such nonsense, and the bitching commences.

3/22/2012

i joined the https://www.facebook.com/MorningJoe chat thread bright and early as usual.
it is my personal car wreck and i just can't look away.
as news of the trayvon martin death spread, the last several days focused less on the gop clusterfuck, and more on the events surrounding the death of this young man.

joe opened the show from his home state of florida, and the first 30 minutes of programming was devoted to this story.

fb's mj chat thread was on fire with opinions, and as opinions go these were far, far, did i say far different than the usual attack, attack, attack behavior. i do believe this is when ann franks' "good" comes out in people as we tone tempers and attempt to tap into verbalizing our "feelings" rather than beat the shit out of each other with our opinions.

and it struck me the number of white people who kept pointing out their whiteness when expressing their sorrow in a way that suggests it is somehow odd for a white person to have sorrow over the death of a young, black man.
 

im old, i'm white, and i care

there were petitions to be signed coordinated by posters who less than 72 hours prior, said to another poster:

ms. links-a-lot: m.s. (a fellow mj poster) would vote for bozo the clown if he was white!
now i am all for the freedom to express yourself, but good gawd how do you say something like THAT and 3 days later start a petition about racial injustice? 

but ms. links-a-lot is also an old white woman in delaware.

from another poster whose name i deleted because i am "fair" to newbies:
name deleted: Don't let up on the Trayvon Martin coverage. People need to know the truth & his family deserves justice. With live from another white middle aged woman in upstate NY.

Cat Kerr should you get extra props bc you're a white lady who says you care about a black kid?
why not, i care!

i had pretty much secured my position in the shitter for another day after that comment.
which is fine. 

mom! cat's in the toilet again.

i do bring these situations on myself by expressing strong opinions. so a'ight, if you wana roll, then baby i will verbally roll your ass into a little ball and kick you to the curb; albeit, in the kindest, gentlest way possible because i am zen and you are SO not.white people say the right things when they have to. especially in public, and even MORE especially on a chat thread where they will NEVER be accountable for one damned real thing.

GIVE ME A PEN! I CARE!

white people sign petitions, join in for a little outrage, donate a few bucks, talk about legislating some new shit to protect minorities, and long walks on the beach. but when it comes right down to it, white people don't get messy about it.

black people march. they dodge bullets. they get arrested and spend time in jail-
and NOT "occupy jail" where you pretend you just got stoned at woodstock, burned a flag, and spent the night in the pokey with the po po.  
unh uh, black people go to REAL jail where it's hard to get out.
they yell and scream and demand equal protection, representation, and freedom under the same constitution that provides the aforementioned for my old, white lady ass.


let this be a lesson to those who start petitions.
next time, get up off your ass and actually go DO something about something.
 
hypocrisy at the expense of a young black man, disgusts me. 
and ANYONE who uses  another person's tragedy as an excuse to promote a personal agenda of any kind will be called on it.
this is your opportunity to evolve.
do it.

kind hands have room for everyone

p.s. and i know this is super hard to believe, but, bozo THE clown is not on this ticket.
