I told you I received some hate mail yesterday from Christians calling me everything but a child of God.  Here’s a smattering forwarded from Web Guy and Cristina.  These are cut-and-paste jobs … so the spelling and grammar belongs to the sender:  

Josh sent you this:

Hey brother, I typically love the show you put on.  I listen everyday while at work but your rant this morning about N.C. and its passage of the "Marriage Amendment" was moronic.  Sometimes you sound and act like a complete horses ass.  I get you are a Libertarian, we share alot of the same beliefs, but sometimes you sound like a whiny liberal the way you pound religious Americans.  On the topic of marriage you need to get over yourself, you sound shrill and dramatic, you remind me of Nancy Pelosi this AM.

richard leonhard sent you this:

i can't accept your pseudo knowledge of the bible. your tirade about the gay marriage vote in n.c. was the straw that breaks the camel's back.i will not listen again.you talk about the part in the brain" about being born again"   being dead, when was the last time you had your brain checked? I'm betting it's half dead. if being born gay is a fact then over the centuries gays would slowy become extinct. has identical twins been born where one is gay and one is straight? yes. did someone mention identical genes?

Stuart sent you this:

You sound like an elitist when you are mocking others who disagree with you.  Speaking like a southern redneck, you imply that each person in NC who voted for the marriage amendment is dumb, backward, and ignorant.  You are not going to convince anyone to take your position if you spend an hour insulting people who take an alternative position. You make fun of people who claim what God thinks of marriage, but then you turn around and do the same thing.  The Bible makes it clear what God's view on marriage and homosexuality is.

God called homosexuality an abomination Neal! He doesnt love homos or anyone who purposely makes sin a lifestyle. That means thieves, murderers, drug dealers and worst of all, misleading talk show hosts lol! Homosexuality is a choice because we were created in Gods image and God created us to be man with woman. Once again, Neal, your ignorant mutterings made me stop being productive to remind you to not speak on what is clearly spirtually discerned to you. I know youve been around for a long time but everything requires prep and you do not get a pass from me just because you are right most of the time.

Linda sent you this:

Just listened to your tirade against the voters of North Carolina, and found your characterization of us insulting. We are not ignorant hillbillies. You have no idea what this fight was really about. If this amendement had failed, sooner rather than later, the radicals in the homosexual movement would be in the classrooms of our public schools to teach that the deviant homsexual lifestyle is normal. They want society's stamp of approval. I don't want my grandchildren to be exposed to this nonsense. You are wrong on this one Neal. A couple of years ago, a professor at Duke in the Public Policy area,  in a same sex union, was found guilty of sexual abuse of one of their adopted sons. He posted the pictures of the abuse on the internet and offered his son to whomever would like to have relations with him. This is the result of a reprobate mind.  Call me ignorant if you like, but you have gone too far left on this issue.

Clay Willis sent you this:

One thing makes me temporarily turn you off or at least down in volume; why do you have to do that hick southern accent when you talk about Christians or those who oppose homosexuality?  You’re playing right into the leftists stereotype that all Christians are southern imbeciles.  Shame on you Neal for helping denigrate all the good, intelligent people who speak with a southern accent.  BTW, all homosexuals are “recruited”, usually by pedophiles or family members who were themselves abused.  3000 years of recorded history show no civilization that lasted for long that openly acknowledged, much less encouraged homosexuality.  Quit trying to be “libertarian” to the extent that you ignore nature itself.

Beau Angeles sent you this:

Do I laugh or give ya' a razz, you're so unpleasant with whom you disagree.I don't care if homosexuales marry. I do care that society's morals are eroding.

What a specious argument, "How does "X" affect YOUR life?" -  the moral make up of  society is so changed our kids now have no moral anchors so wander about as a rowboat in a hurricane.

What we decide individually DOES affect all society.  I disagree with your  opinion on same sex marriage. I hope for more respect than your response to a trucker who travels constantly, observing, talking to people, not reading a stat from an unreliable government.  You owe the truck driver, an apology....all of us, in fact.

If you must be rude expressing your POV, you might step back, examine why your POV is so weak you feel it necessary to slash and burn .... why be so  'onery to others of differing opinion?

I'm hoping tomorrow will bring a brighter, clearer thinking Neal B. on the radio in the morning.

May your days be blessed!
