Why do you assume
it’s quite wrong for me to be a bigot? Then
additionally to
roundly and caustically assert that my extreme
views on most
things are somehow unquestionably any less
valid or relevant
to the self-evidently so-called moderate
opinions which
are vaingloriously held and haughtily
trumpeted by
you, your likeminded associates and
your collective
fellow travellers, and furthermore
pompously
considered by all of you as rational,
sensibly expressed
and matured discourse? Isn’t it really a
tad
supercilious on your discernibly condescending part
for you to be
spouting your rather sanctimonious and
seemingly interminable
heart-rending diatribes of
noxious
allegations liberally laced with deeply
ingrained,
highly personalized and subjective
conclusions
concerning the inalienable and,
on my part,
vigorously championed right
regarding what
I individually choose to
despise,
including the loathed actions
of others, and
themselves conjoined
with the
distrust of those persons
involved that I
personally single
out to slate
or, preferably more
conclusively,
decide to hate?

Author’s Remarks:
The
etymological definition of bigotry centres on the concept of persons who
wilfully, and invariably irrationally, both develop and sustain a marked
intolerance towards other people who consciously and morally hold different
opinions to their own.
And,
as such, self-evidently makes bigotry the natural home of such individuals with
strong and discernibly unreasonable beliefs, who then viciously despise and/or
attack other people for simply daring to courageously and well-informatively
have different beliefs or opinions to their own and markedly twisted ones.
Or,
worse still, maniacally choose to venomously attack those who freely decide to
pursue an totally rational, individualistic and completely different life-style
from that of their trenchantly deranged detractors and even, as not uncommonly
happens, their self-confessed and deeply ingrained hatred.
Ring
any bells with you – the likes of Theresa May, Fiona Bruce, Laura Kuenssberg, Catherine
Blaiklock, Brigit Bardot, Jo Marney and Margaret Hodge-Oppenheimer?
