Buzzfeed Is A Joke

Once again, the left attacks successful Christians

Buzzfeed Is A Joke

So last week the fake news site Buzzfeed (along with others such as the not so wonderful Cosmopolitan) released an article about Chip and Joanna Gaines who have the show "Fixer Upper" on HGTV. Now the piece is just another cowardly attack on Christians because Chip and Joanna go to a church where, get this, the pastor reads the Bible! What a bigot am I right? The article has since been updated, but the original intent is still well-known.

Bullying Christians has long been a favorite past time for those on the left. It happens all too often and if you say anything they just respond with "It's not a thing, it never happens." Oh but it does happen, all the time. It comes as a shock to them that apparently millions of Americans believe in traditional Christian values. All those bigoted homophobic people (satire). Now Christians believe that homosexuality is a sin and many on the left believe it is not, both different beliefs. However someone having a different belief does not fly with the left. See, the left claims to have the moral high ground (though most of the time they are relatively immoral) and thus bully those with different beliefs.

This ridiculous tactic is used all the time by the media and Hollywood, and it is not very effective. You want to know why Trump won? Insulting his supporters or those who reluctantly voted for him is a huge reason. Articles like the one in Buzzfeed or the one from Cosmo could easily be described as "Reason #83 as to why Trump won". The left just does not get it though, they go on the extreme thinking it will be effective and it has backfired on them instead.

I am not surprised that an article like this came from Buzzfeed. The "journalism" that they have is really just nonsense. They are on the same level of ignorance as other sites like Huffington Post, NowThis, Seriously.tv, ThinkProgress, Salon, Occupy Democrats, Vox, and The Young Turks. There are plenty more, trust me. These sites have a fairly large influence on millennials, just scroll through most of the articles here on Odyssey and it becomes obvious where these "writers" get their news.

The piece on Chip and Joanna Gaines is absurd. Just like how it is absurd for those bakers to lose their business. The definition of a bigot simply put is one who is intolerant towards those holding a different opinion or belief. Chip and Joanna, those bakers, or any other person who believes in traditional Christian values are not bigots. Can you guess who are the true bigots?

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
