You could be right. I dunno. I don't think I have ever spent more than 3 or 4 seconds, at a time, listening to her music. (Long enough to change the station.)

I don't NOT listen to Beyonce because of her "filth," as you say. I don't listen to her because she sucks. When I have the unfortunate occurrence of seeing her on television or whatever, it makes me want to take a bath. She gives the appearance, to me, as someone who is just "nasty." Someone who spends all day doing make-up, in front of a mirror, but doesn't take the time to wash her ass. You know the type.

I use the term filthy, not because of sexual innuendo, but because it's soul-sucking mediocrity. ;)
 
Consider this: The primaries are just beginning (sort of). You play to the extremes in the primaries before moving to the center in the general election. (Why people still fall for this boggles the brain cells, but they do.) He's playing to the extremes of his party who vote in primaries.

Dang bro! I know she is sexy, but I didn't know she made people do all that!!!!! :lamo

Wow! She had you getting down that heavy huh bro????? Now I know why she is rich. It sounds like people like you are her biggest fans!!! :lamo

Yeah them real pretty ones will stay in the mirror all day!!! :lamo

I don't know what you talking about with that ass washing stuff tho. What you been up to my man????? :lamo

You know the type.

Yep. They say when you go black you don't go back!!!! :lamo

Well at least you ain't no hypocrite. :lamo
 
I remember talking to a real pretty black girl that worked in adult entertainment. She was prettier than Beyonce. That is not to say that Beyonce is not pretty as a poster elsewhere has stated. But that is to convey the idea of how pretty this young lady was. She was telling me about one of her customers. She said "I didn't know what he was talking about?" Yeah boy! They can do that to ya! Amazing!!!

On the serious side tho, Beyonce although somewhat out there, is not as high as some on the scale today. But in the final analysis, we are surrounded by filth today. Of this, there is no doubt, although some do not want to admit it, and some do not realize it at all. And the deep truth is that we are all like that now. Therefore it has been alluded to, by the one of the most intelligent minds in history, that ultimately if it is in your heart, you have done it already. Because, really it comes from the heart. And if it is in the heart, all it takes is a matter of time and circumstances before you will do it. Therefore I say, we are all like that. All though it is indeed filth, and moreover it is indeed mediocre, we are all like that today. Therefore the same person has advised that it would be wise not to cast the first stone. We should remember that. That is real intelligence. That is the challenge.

I have a cousin turned RINO (I thought I was bad) who found a video of Mike Huckabee performing a raunchy rated x song with a guest on his former TV show. Smh. Lesson learned...again: in politics right and wrong are defined by who you ask and which side are you on (or perceived to be on) compared to the one asked--and people are not committed to their principles, they're committed to their political team.

In the Governor's defense it's entirely possible he had no idea what the song was really about as in fairness it was loaded with double entendre and veiled terminology with words that are sometimes used as a nickname for cats. The question then becomes is the Governor really that naive and honestly thought he was rocking out with a genuine pet lover about his love for cats? Romney, maybe. Huckabee surprises me but to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe.

Is that so? Amazing. Perhaps he understood, but thought it to be amusing humor and thus he could get some brownie political points in by being seen to be a likable guy.

Regardless, to return to an earlier theme, we are all a hair's breath away from being exposed for what we really are. I say that as someone who has experienced it personally, and thus I hope that others will listen and learn from my mistakes. It is like a thief that comes in the night that the real tests come. We will not be aware, but it will sneak upon us. That is how the tests come in the real war. Do not think that what happened to Bill Clinton cannot happen to us. We should not gloat. Rather we should humbly ask for mercy that we not fall victim to temptation and that the Almighty One deliver us from evil. If we are to proud too do that, there is no way. It is simply not possible. Perhaps some will hear. But I tell you truthfully, friend and foe alike, what I have said is for the benefit of all. Please, learn from my mistakes.
 
I love "Put a Ring On It" but was pretty dismayed when little girls began imitating her raunchy video dance moves. Not cute on a 5-year old. I don't think she's an inspirational role model for "wholesomeness" at all, even if she's a great business success, and she is.
ok time for a little rant
also Nota im NOT saying you claimed any of this so i quoted you only for a reference, this isnt directed at you

I'm just pointing out that its the parents fault not beyonce's if 5 year olds are trying to dance like her and its "raunchy", as you say, that makes the parent a moron if its happening frequently.

and something really not related to your post

I also dont understand the role model thing

maybe im just lucky and wired the right way or my parents did something brilliant, which i must also accidently be doing and i have passed on to my daughter

as a child my morals or ideas on how to live my life, right/wrong, how to treat people etc were NEVER impacted by music . . .am i the only one?

nor as any actor, famous person, entertainer who i have liked ever impacted my morals etc.

were there famous people i found inspiring and maybe a "example" of how to do a certain specific thing, of course but if they did other things that were bad or wrong or something i didn't agree with it never made me want to do them or think it was ok etc etc

any kids that are shaped that way, the adults in thier lives have failed them

there was NOTHING i could watch, listen to, read etc that could make me stray from my upbringing, thats just stupid.

I listened to some of the worse music and watched the worse movies (stereotypically moral wise) it had ZERO impact because i had at least ONE good reality based parent/guardian in my life . . .

i was lucky enough to have many but im just saying

its just so pathetic to me that so many people pass the buck, kid gets in to a great college and they take all the credit, kid does drugs or is a criminal and all of a sudden, what music did he listen too, what movies did he watch what did he read etc etc thats all horsecrap! lol

"SOME" of my favorite music was about "drugs, **** the police, killing and sex with bitches"
today i have two degrees, im a single father with full custody and a perfectly clean police record
drugs i have participated in that are illegal? underage drank in my day and i have tired weed . . .the end

ZERO of those CHOICES came from music, movies, books, celebrities etc

ok rant over lol

I actually make make a thread about this when i have a minute

So true and thanks for the word of caution.

I don't think Gov. Huckabee is given to a lifestyle the song he helped perform depicts. I do however think, like almost all strong politician types I've observed tend to be keenly aware are troubled by the "problems" with those they see as political foes very often based in genuine concern. Yet the same exact people are blinded by similar and even identical problems when it originates with their political team. Beyoncé is an Obama supporter. Ted Nugent is an Obama critic. Because if this, the two are judged by two entirely different standards and I truly believe Gov. Huckabee was operating from a place of heart-felt honesty. He's genuinely concerned about the decline in values in the culture but he honestly didn't notice the moral problems with Nugent's lyrics and even played bass on the song when Nugent performed in concert on his tv show. Why? Political types see right and wrong though a political lens and it's not intentional much of the time. Even after it's brought to their attention, I believe any efforts to maintain their positions in light of a blatant double standard, which I've seen too many times to count, is about saving face by sticking to their original position and not an attempt to be deliberately unfair.. Btw: I voted for Huckabee in 2008.

Huckabee Smuckabee, he is still entitled to his opinions. He is right though, how many parents are paying attention to lyrics, some of them are quite interesting. Using Beyonce as an example is perhaps distracting from the point he is trying to make. Thoughts on that?

That is a very good observation. And I suppose it get's to the root of an issue that I was noting in another topic. It appears that it is easier to recognize and want to come down hard on faults when they appear in others, especially those we may not identify so strongly with. But when they appear in ourselves and those that we identify strongly with, as you say, we tend to use a different lens that filters out the things that we do not want to see because if we did not, we would be facing some realities about ourselves that would make us feel uncomfortable.

LOL @ Huckabee Smuckabee!!!!

I think you are right. Anybody looking at the thing that has any kind of sense knows that it is politically motivated. As such, it takes away from the message because it is a fact that politicians will say anything that they can to destroy an opponent, not necessarily primarily because they have a genuine concern, but because primarily they want to score political points. And you are right, that does tend to water down the message, at least to the discerning eye. Of course, it can play well to those who are extremely biased.
