This morning I wondered what I’d blog about. Before I read the news I always check the blog first to delete the inevitable troll trackbacks and comments. On my first day back from hiatus, I’ve had to delete quite a few.
But the contention has reached a new level. A few black liberal bloggers who hate me have given up all attempts to rebut my arguments, if they ever did so at all. Reasoned discussion be damned. In the beginning they at least feigned interest in my arguments; now they just don’t care anymore. They’re focused on me.
I’ve never named or linked to these people because what they want desperately is my attention, for reasons unknown to me. What a sad world they must inhabit to constantly seek out those who want nothing to do with them. I’m embarrassed for them.
I checked my site meter this morning to find hits coming from a site run by a popular black liberal blogger. I’m sure some of you can figure out who the person is. Apparently he didn’t know who I was before yesterday.
I refuse to get into a flame war with another blogger so my policy of not naming or linking to those prone to such things is in effect. Without offering a biblical argument or even one that makes sense, he wrote:
Via *****, we find this idiotic post from La Shawn Barber. La Shawn is apparently black, female, and right-wing. And now she’s advocating the idea that Christians can’t be liberals.Just when you think a group of people can’t get dumber…they do. I may not personally be religious, but the idea of just deciding who does and doesn’t get to be a Christian based on their political philosophy is asinine. Somehow I don’t think God is checking your voter registration card.
As ***** says:
Just one simple question, do you really believe this crap, or is the pay that good?
You know, I’ve thought many times just how much bank I could make as a “black conservative”. I could get the Heritage Foundation to pay me big bucks to write asinine columns for Townhall.com, go to parties with Michelle Malkin and JC Watts, and write books like “Slavery: Not So Bad”.
But I like having a soul.
The person who provided the “hat tip” is sad enough in his own right and seems to have developed an obsession with me. This morning I deleted his fourth or fifth trackback. There aren’t enough hours in the day for me as it is, and I’ve made it my business not to go after any blogger for any reason. I write about news and offer my commentary on it. Apparently others follow a different course. Whatever suits them.
Being attacked by a high-profile liberal is new. All the others are low-traffic gnats buzzing around my head. Interesting. As I said, no flame wars for me. My words speak for themselves and if one, just one, of my detractors opened the Bible and read it, perhaps we’d have something to discuss. Until then, thanks for making my hit counter rise. God could be using their vitriol to bring some of their readers to salvation. What my critics meant for evil, God meant for good.
If I know nothing else in this world, I know this: My prayers have been answered. God has me right where he wants me to be.
Addendum: A white liberal wants you to know they hate me, too. Also see Update II of the controversial post.
