In the Name of Purity

He sought to preserve the sanctity of the German Race.

They seek to preserve the sanctity of marriage.

He stripped equality from those he deemed not pure enough.

They seek to deny equality to those they deem not pure enough.

In the end, no matter the denials from them, they are travelling down a similar path that led a man to kill millions of people all in the name of purity.

Yes, some extreme thoughts as Scottford speaks - blogs - for the first time. Okay, it's the second time, on this blog at least, but the first post was really an introductory post. LOL!!

Scottford Speaks

Welcome to my latest and greatest . . . blog. Yes, I have more than one blog. Go figure. I have my ranty blog - Rants from the Soapbox. I have my writerly blog - A Writer's Blog. And, I have my family history blog - Dancing with the Ancestors. And, now, I have this one - Scottford Speaks.

I'm not an everyday blogger. Nope, not me, not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Okay, maybe not ever is a bit too much, because, with this crazy thing called life, you just never know.

Why Scottford Speaks - hey, maybe it should be Scottford Writes or Scottford Blogs!!! Well, because my friend Traci calls me Scottford and the name kind of stuck . . . kinda like gum on the bottom of your shoe. Eeeewwww, not the best analogy, but, well, it pretty much sums it up.

So, what is this blog going to be about? Heck, if I know, I haven't planned it out that far. Ha! No, seriously, this blog is going to be about, well, me, because, as I tell my sisters . . . it's all about me. HA.

No, the blogs going to be written about me (oops, Freudian slip - I meant by me, not about me), and it's going to be my thoughts, my rages, my insightful musings and . . . well, yeah, it's all about me. Go figure!

Over the course of the next few days, months, years, decades, whatever, I'm going to attempt to post about my viewpoint of this crazy world we live in. Yeah, I might rant sometimes, or I might just direct you over to my ranty blog - Rants from the Soapbox - especially once the political season gets underway. Boy, do politicians make my blood pressure rise. Especially Republican'ts!! Geesh! Then again, Democrats, Tea Partiers, Coffee Partiers, and what ever fly-by-night political party pops up next, makes my blood pressure rise as well. Geesh. So, you just never know what you'll find my talking about - with great intelligence and brilliance, btw - on this blog. You'll just have to keep checking in so you can immerse yourself in my brilliance. HA!
