Dusting off my soapbox... it's coming back!

As previously discussed, I tend to be on the passionate side. Too much on that side at times. In reference back to some of my earlier posts, I have an opinion to voice in response to the Focus on the Family ad that had me all excited.

I liked the ad. Thought it was funny. In no way could it have been offensive to anyone. I don't think I'm saying that just because I agree with all involved parties, but I truly thought it was about as "chill" as it could have possibly been.

BUT, how dumb am I? (Don't answer that... it's a rhetorical question.) I should have KNOWN that some stupid someone somewhere would freak out about it. And ding, ding, ding, it was the feminazis at NOW (seen in the above picture).

I want to clarify a couple of things before I continue. First of all, I'm a Christian. Second, I admire and respect the Tebow family. Third, I STRONGLY disagree with abortion. Fourth, I have a good sense of humor. Fifth, I am an independent female who can survive without anyone (save my Lord from that statement; Jesus Christ is my rock and I can't survived without Him). HOWEVER, I am old-fashioned and I do not want chivalry to die. In NO way am I a feminist, and certainly not a femiNAZI. Therefore, this unfortunate breed is (thankfully) not in any way connected to me. I believe that everyone has a right to have their own opinion (assuming it's educated) however, I don't have to like it/agree with it.

I mean really... violence against women?! These messed up, menstrual beings are attacking the TEBOW FAMILY for violence against women? Come now... I thought I had heard it all...
Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"
Obama's inability to take his inaugural oath without a practice round
Jessica Simpson's "chicken of the sea"
...and I could go on. However, I don't think the stupidity in those 3 things combined can even begin to compare to accusing a family who is known for their faith, gentle spirits, humanitarian work, sacrifices, integrity, etc. for somehow promoting violence against women.

EVEN IF I didn't agree with/like the Tebows & Focus on the Family, I would say this: unfortunately, there are TONS of instances when violence against women is not only portrayed, but often encouraged. WHY on earth is NOW not attacking them?! I mean, Snoop Dogg can show up to an awards show with 2 women who have collars around their neck hooked to leashes; songs can contain whatever lyrics they like as "personal expression" and celebrities who beat their wife can get out of charges by claiming the women deserved what they got.

Is it just me or is something TOTALLY wrong with this picture? Is our society so unfamiliar with someone standing up for and actually doing the right thing that the concept can't be fathomed? Are we so conditioned to believe everyone has (negative) ulterior motives we don't believe it's even possible for a human to do the right thing for the right reason and actually believe in something?

I certainly hope that's not the case...
