#REV. JIM NICHOLS WHITE PAGES ALABAMA MOVIE#

“But Jim, we need to speak out against abuses so that we don’t allow this country to become taken over by a Hitler/Stalin/Mussolini.” “We need to hold people accountable and make sure things are right.” Problem is, we can’t agree on right. I could strongly disagree with their policies or some of the things they said, but it was my understanding that they were still a leader that I was to respect (even when they did disrespectful things). But guess what, they were still my Leader, Senator, Congressman or President. I’ve voted for local leaders, state leaders, senators and congressmen but I haven’t always had “my candidate” win. I have voted in 7 Presidential Elections (might have been 6 – it’s early as I type this) and my candidates haven’t always been elected. It is the expectation and it is the rule. It is en vogue to promote the failures of others and it is expected that we smear someone’s face in that failure and that we rejoice in their just desserts. Rather than looking for positive things to say, it is expected that we not only looking for negative, but we actively seek it out. It seems that as I’ve gotten older, we are teaching a very different lesson. “If you can’t say something nice, don’t say nuthin at all” as the little bunny from Bambi would say. When I was little, I was taught by my mom, dad, grandparents, uncles and aunts, teachers, pastors, practically everyone, to show respect. What does all this have in common? Well, to put it mildly, disrespect. While others, on my same feed, joined in the chorus of bemoaning the president-elect, calling him an “idiot” and other less-than-respectful terms.

There were a few on my Social Feed who immediately defended the president from those “wacko” Hollywood clowns. In her speech, she spoke out for the disabled – a worthy cause indeed – but she did so in a way to embarrass the new president-elect. One actress, the incomparable, Meryl Streep, received a lifetime achievement award. Actors/Actresses gave thanks to parents, spouses, kids, co-workers, and God as they received their little golden statue. I heard that these same players are given all kinds of luxuries and that they also need to be paid because they are being “taken advantage of.”įinally, a cross over between the Golden Globes and our President-elect. I heard football players called heroes and over-privileged goons. In the days prior, I heard both coaches called geniuses and arrogant morons. I don’t know much about Clemson, other than their team wears Orange and Blue and their coach has a funny name. After living in Alabama for nearly 2 years, I have first hand knowledge of that team and their fans. As an SEC fan, I am committed to despise every other team in my conference (though I will always root for them during bowl games). The second topic was the College National Championship game between Clemson and Alabama. I watched a clip of her, fighting tears, to apologize for messing up. She was accused of “hurting people” by her words. People said she had disrespected the actors and those who worked on one film. But apparently enough people spoke up about because the next morning, Bush had to offer a public apology for her misstep. I’ve seen the video, Pharrell stumbled in response and the interview went on – it was a little awkward, but obviously it was a misstep by Bush. During the interview, she misspoke and mixed up titles with another movie.

At one point on the famous red carpet, NBC correspondent Jenna Bush was interviewing the artist Pharrell about a movie he was actively involved in. Statues were given in recognition of work in film and it was a star-studded affair.

But for some reason, today I read them and as I did I noticed in all the stories a recurring theme. Normally, I wouldn’t really give much attention too any of them. These are currently the 3 primary mentions on my social media feed. National Championship Game involving Alabama and Clemson The golden globes – awards for people who make moviesĢ.
