Buzzfeed Is A Joke

Once again, the left attacks successful Christians

Buzzfeed Is A Joke

So last week the fake news site Buzzfeed (along with others such as the not so wonderful Cosmopolitan) released an article about Chip and Joanna Gaines who have the show "Fixer Upper" on HGTV. Now the piece is just another cowardly attack on Christians because Chip and Joanna go to a church where, get this, the pastor reads the Bible! What a bigot am I right? The article has since been updated, but the original intent is still well-known.

Bullying Christians has long been a favorite past time for those on the left. It happens all too often and if you say anything they just respond with "It's not a thing, it never happens." Oh but it does happen, all the time. It comes as a shock to them that apparently millions of Americans believe in traditional Christian values. All those bigoted homophobic people (satire). Now Christians believe that homosexuality is a sin and many on the left believe it is not, both different beliefs. However someone having a different belief does not fly with the left. See, the left claims to have the moral high ground (though most of the time they are relatively immoral) and thus bully those with different beliefs.

This ridiculous tactic is used all the time by the media and Hollywood, and it is not very effective. You want to know why Trump won? Insulting his supporters or those who reluctantly voted for him is a huge reason. Articles like the one in Buzzfeed or the one from Cosmo could easily be described as "Reason #83 as to why Trump won". The left just does not get it though, they go on the extreme thinking it will be effective and it has backfired on them instead.

I am not surprised that an article like this came from Buzzfeed. The "journalism" that they have is really just nonsense. They are on the same level of ignorance as other sites like Huffington Post, NowThis, Seriously.tv, ThinkProgress, Salon, Occupy Democrats, Vox, and The Young Turks. There are plenty more, trust me. These sites have a fairly large influence on millennials, just scroll through most of the articles here on Odyssey and it becomes obvious where these "writers" get their news.

The piece on Chip and Joanna Gaines is absurd. Just like how it is absurd for those bakers to lose their business. The definition of a bigot simply put is one who is intolerant towards those holding a different opinion or belief. Chip and Joanna, those bakers, or any other person who believes in traditional Christian values are not bigots. Can you guess who are the true bigots?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
