A Statement on Chuck Norris

I start off by saying I was never really a fan of Chuck Norris.

His jokes never really cut it for me.

I never said so of course, not because I knew I would be ridiculed, because I simply didn't want to start a fight.

I'm not a very conflict loving person.

Anyways, I went on, not loving Chuck Norris while everyone else (it seemed anyways) flipped.

Today I happen across an article discussing the 'outrage of allowing gays into boy scouts'
The author of said article was credited to none other than Mr. Norris himself.

Now the website seemed legitimate, but none the less I went and brought up his wiki page to discover that he does indeed write. A quick jump to the sources and I discovered that he is indeed very much a conservative Christian.

Now I'm not saying you should shun Chuck Norris. I try to avoid that behavior. If I dislike something, say the song 'Baby' I'm not going to hate Bieber for it. I'm not going to insult him and I'm not going to laugh at jokes that do just that. I'm going to make up my mind and move on.

In the case of Chuck Norris, I feel he is a generally good man. I'm saddened to hear his way of thinking excludes LGBT and I still don't find his 'Facts' funny, but I don't hate him.

I just thought you'd all like to know.

This is an except from an article by Chuck Norris entitled Guns, God and gays

Lastly, I was appalled when I read the American Family Association report that on Friday, April 25, several thousand schools across the nation will be observing a “Day of Silence,” or DOS, which is a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools. (DOS is sponsored by an activist homosexual group – the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.)

Is encouraging or teaching about homosexuality what our forefathers expected for the public education they founded? Even the most liberal among them opposed it. For example, Thomas Jefferson drafted a bill concerning the criminal laws of Virginia, in which he proposed that the penalty for sexual deviance should be unique corporal punishment. Jefferson’s views were indeed representative of early America.

“Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro’ the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least” (Bill 64, 1779). Can you imagine a statesman proposing such a law today?

While I’m not of course espousing such treatment, I do believe that we should equally and adamantly oppose such aberrant sexual behavior from being condoned or commemorated in our public schools through textbooks or a so-called “Day of Silence.”

You can check to see if your local schools are on the DOS observance list. Whether they are or not, write their administrators to inform them your family will be boycotting the event if it takes place in your vicinity.

That's all I have to say about Chuck Norris.

Also on a related note, I did partake in my school's Day of Silence
