Latest Ellen DeGeneres ad causes another stir
One Million Moms registers disapproval over JC Penney Xmas commercial
As far as religion & science goes? As science advances with micro & nano biology, I find it hard for anyone to believe there wasn't an intelligent designer, but I respect the person regardless of what they choose to believe.
I'm agreeing that JC Penney has a right to hire whoever they want as their spokesperson.
And Ellen certainly has a right to say what she wants to, on her own show.
But let's look at this from both sides. Homosexual activists were very upset when Chick-Fil-A's owner stated his beliefs. Ban him. Crash their "party" by having kiss-ins, etc. The people who showed up at the restaurants were shown nothing but RESPECT and given the same excellent service all customers receive.
These One Million Moms gals have a right to their opinion. It's called free speech.f
Both sides need to remember this and stop bashing each other.
And, by the way, I am a "conservative Christian". I just think we all need to stop hating and learn to respect each other.
Interesting that when its the Left's cat getting stomped its wrong, but when the Left does it to a Conservative business, (ie:Chick-Filet) it is OK. If the Million Mom's want to picket JCP, let them. Let the Left line up outside JCP and buy, just like the lines outside Chick-Filet this last summer. Bet you won't see those lines from the Left.
Yeah JCP. Obviously OMM needs something better to do with their time. Perhaps gather food for the homeless and buy clothes for the needy. Maybe JCP would give them a group discount . OMM stop rolling around on the floor in judgment. I'm a 57 yr old (do I need to say straight?) woman married for 39 yrs. Homosexuality is simply a sexual preference. Get educated OMM.
Oh, no. Another example of the elusive "liberal journalist fair and balanced" attitude. I personally couldn't care less about anyone else's sexual preferences or other idiologies unless they affect me personally; however, I do care about gross distortions based on personal idealogies of "journalists".
I don't know Kenny Herzog. I have enjoyed and weathered many years without knowing Kenny Herzog. Effectively, in my view, Kenny Herzog is a non-entity. His opinion is important to me? Why?
I do, however, believe and appreciate that Kenny Herzog has a right to his personal opinion and to express those opinions as he chooses.
I lament the obvious fact that Kenny Herzog cannot, or for some reasons unknown to me, simply state his own opinion but must instead report his, by definition biased, perception of the opinions of others. Obviously also is the fact that Kenny Herzog has little respect for the intelligence of those unfortunate enough to stumble across his "reporting". I must disagree with Kenny Herzog that the reader is unable to draw his own conclusions from a set of facts without help from Kenny Herzog.
In more succint form, Kenny Herzog, and with all due respect, your agenda is showing and I don't have much respect for biased reporting. It would have been appropriate had the writing been immediately identified as statement of an opinion but that fact was discernable only after wasting time reading the diatribe.
Your life and opinions are yours. Please don't waste my time with burdening me with them. As for Ellen DeGeneres, she has worked very diligently over several years to gain a good and respectable reputation. I admire her for that. That doesn't mean that I have to approve or blame, judge, condemn, or censure her for her lifestyle or for her opinion. It does mean that, at least in my view, your puny attempt to defend her will be most likely an embarrassment to her if she ever hears about it. You obviously don't get it. Try a little respect for the person instead of focusing on your own agenda at all costs.
How come all those face book comments didnt have a face pic or a name? Made Up comments?
and i kno what you ARE ALL going to say...she hid them for privacy...well whatever happened to the good old blur that would lend credence and validity to the audience while maintianing anonymity of the person commenting...lol
ELLEN IS A FRAUD
I appreciated Moms speaking out but I must say, WOW. I like Ellen DeGeneres although I don't agree with her life style choice. But if we are going to single her out let's look at some of the other entertainers that appear in various department store ads. They maybe heterosexual but they openly do not conduct themselves as Christians or of those whom have given their lives over to Christ. They are forever in the media causing discord, they are always photographed in bars/clubs holding and endorsing alcohol, and even proclaimed christians cheat on their spouses, are dishonest about reporting their finances. Let's ask ourselves, "Are we truly and completing living according to The Word of God?" Is God pleased with everything we do and if we are honest and answer no but yet we still don't change or behavior...............
I was raised to be a Christian that is accepting and non-judgmental of others. These so-called christians of OMM are nothing but bullies. How is this directly affecting your life?? Total hypocrites! You don't like it then don't shop there, end of story. I never have been a regular customer of JCP, but plan on stopping in a lot more than I ever would have before.
Relating to the topic of homosexuality, make me think of a tweet I once read from the amazing Morgan Freeman. " I hate the word homophobia .It's not a phobia. You are not scared. You are an a******."
I love Ellen and support JCP's use of her in its ads, but wasn't it just a few weeks ago that a liberal group freaked out because Macy's ads featured Donald Trump? Neither party has the market cornered on crazy, it would seem.
Regardless, I find it entertaining that the media excoriates a conservative group for pressuring a corporation based on a conservative values (Ellen), yet canonizes a liberal group for pressuring a corporation based on liberal values (Trump).
My biggest problem with this article is that it seems to be making fun of the OMM group,,,,,,,,,,buuuuuutttttttttt if it was a "minority" group such as gays getting made or blacks getting mad, latinos, etc. then they would be well within their rights to bitch and moan and be offended,,,,,,,,,but since it's heterosexuals, then screw them because they have no right to be offended.
Personally I am fed up with all this "I'm offended" Bullsh!t. Just get offended and then crawl into the corner of your basement and suck on your thumb but don't make a huge stink about it. But if one group can do it and is supported by the media for doing it then be fair to all the groups..........no matter how much I can't stand them.
