Despite how hilarious his pictures are, I generally find myself in agreement with Roland Martin on many topics, especially politics. I don’t know what his political affiliation is. I also tend to agree with Glenn Beck, and I think he’s a republican. One can only assume Roland is not a republican. He argues his points well, and I respect that, whatever his affiliation may be.
Anyway, he thinks he’s biting off a religious debate when he pronounces boycott against some big Christian store. The issue is females in the pulpit. This is one of those things that I don’t care about nearly as much as most conservative Christians think I should. Not my preference, I think that the Bible is generally opposed to it, and I’m not sure why systematic patriarchy is a bad thing – just like I’m pretty well convinced it’s OK for guys to lift heavy objects. I don’t want to argue about that. I don’t care. Really, just barely.
I also don’t think it’s relevant. If a bookstore or a bookstore doesn’t agree with the content of some magazine, then they have the right to not carry it. Why is this a problem? It’s not stifling freedom of expression. You can buy it somewhere else. It is their right to run their business in whatever way they see fit.
Maybe they’ll learn that this is a poor financial decision. Who knows. It’s not a religious debate here, nor is it about Roland’s wife’s sour grapes.
By the way, the media propoganda machine has turned me against the republican party when it comes to the economy. I don’t even have TV now. Damn republicans, always screwing up the economy. I don’t want CEOs to get $10 million either. Don’t think it’s a statistically significant number when compared to the amount in the bailout plan, but I don’t see why anyone needs $10 million. Of course, like I said, I don’t know what I’m talking about.
