A Dream for a Better World

It astonishes me that people cry “lawsuit” or “Fire him” just because Keith Bardwell told the truth and has his OWN personal beliefs on interracial marriages.  Keith Bardwell said he wouldn’t marry an interracial couple because he was afraid for their children.

Let me ask you something, say you are strictly religious, whether it be Catholic, Baptist or any of the other “respectable” Christian Religion.  Let’s also assume you own a business.  Would you do business with Devil Worshipers or with Jehovah’s Witnesses?  You would be breaking the law if you refused based solely on religion.  The EXACT same law he is breaking dealing with race.

I like Keith Bardwell, for he was honest in his reasons for not marrying them.  He could have lied like many other people who want to get around such laws.

You know, I thought living in America meant we have our right to our OWN opinions whether right or wrong.  As long as someone is available to marry that couple, what harm is being done?

Since America is such a Litigious Society, I am surprised lawyers are not going around and trying to sue or press charges against anyone who did not vote for Obama ONLY because he was black.  Technically if you didn’t vote for him SOLELY because he was black then you were in fact breaking the law.  But, that is the nice thing about America – we have our own rights to do and think as we please as long as no one gets hurt.  Keith was honest, but I don’t see people being honest with their own items that they discriminate against.

Here we are, an advanced society and yet we try to FORCE people to be open minded.  We try to FORCE people to accept same-sex marriages, mixed marriages, even force conscientious objectors to defend this country.  Why?  It would be like allowing Jehovah’s Witnesses the right to FORCE us in believing in their religion.  We educate people then we allow them to have their own beliefs.

Many companies will break discrimination laws but give other reasons.  I have seen it.  I am sure you have too.  Yet, we try to persecute Keith Bardwell because he was honest.  He even gave good reasons!  He said he was worried about the welfare of their kids.  I know 20 some years ago when I was growing up, children of mixed marriages were looked down on and many of the other kids would treat them badly.  So, I UNDERSTAND his thoughts.  I am NOT saying he is right, but I am saying he should have his  right to his own beliefs, because forcing him to marry them would go against the very core of who we are, Americans, with the right to our OWN beliefs.

What if I owned my own store and sold alcohol but because of my personal beliefs, I didn’t sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 25.  Or what if I owned a dangerous factory (a place that people could EASILY get hurt, say a steel factory) and I said you had to be at least 25 to work there because I was afraid of younger ones being careless and hurting themselves.  It sounds like good excuses, but by the same token I would be breaking the law.  We need to make changes.  We need the right to our own beliefs as long as we don’t physically hurt people.  I am sure our black president would agree, that people deserve the right to think however they want, even if they want to be KKK members, as long as they are peaceful KKK members, not like of times past.

I am sure each of us have our own hidden discrimination.  Whether it be against homosexuals/lesbians, those with Aids, blacks, maybe against a certain race like Germans because of your hatred over Hitler, or towards people with disfiguring diseases.

Come on people, there was no harm done.  They could EASILY get married by someone else, so leave Keith Bardell alone and allow him his right to his own beliefs, whether right or wrong!

We Need Changes.  We need to find a way to not discriminate as big companies or governments but allow individual employees in the government and in the big companies the right to their own beliefs.  As long as there are employees who will get the job done, why is there a problem?  Unless you want to force everyone to think like you and that is NOT the American way.

Please people join with me and help me fight this and other atrocities in America.
