THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD IDEA

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A BAD IDEA. 
Again, before I read another excellent article by Don Surber, I feel compelled to comment, because I am a gospel preacher with a Shepherd's heart, and I want the flock of the US citizens and citizen wannabes to stop butting heads against each other and live in peace. I actually have the authority to do that for God has anointed me with powerful prayers and who am I to question God? If you doubt my resume, read my book THE RAIN PARABLES available on Amazon. 
To limit myself from rambling on forever, for every preacher love the sound of his own voice, I will limit myself today as always to one topic and one title. 
IT IS NOT A SIN TO HAVE AN OPINION, EVEN A STUPID ONE. DUH. 
When solving problems, brainstorming teaches us there is no such thing as a bad idea. This is both true and false at the same time. This is where Free speech comes in. The adults in the room need to discuss where an idea will take us. For example, I understand the feeling that sometimes it feels like it's better to just burn it all down and start over. But the consequence of following that idea to its ultimate end can bring about, if you studied history, millions of deaths. 
Men love the idea of toughening up. But that idea carried out to its purest form results in the Ebenezer Scrooge complex, which is best illustrated during the British colonization period where the idea of ultimate free trade resulted in both the Irish potato famine and the rebellion of the colony which became the United States. Now this is where my sarcasm steps in for a moment and says what a bunch of dumbasses. 
There is also the feminine side that has a strong element of compassion what it is possible no probable to carry that too far resulting in suicidal compassion. This is where my Democratic friends are at right now. 
Since I believe strongly that God intervenes in history I will conclude this little treatise with the speculation that God has raised up the United States for a purpose and to do that he keeps forcing these two sides of American politics into a shotgun marriage, and as Rodney King once famously said, during the LA riots, can't we all just get along? 
That's enough for now, boys and girls.
