Hypocrisy In Action Right Before Our Very Eyes!!!

In yesterday’s Tribune, Clarksville’s ongoing passion play entitled Theatair X verus R.O.C.K received yet another airing.

Theatair X attorney says ordinance unconstitutional in Clarksville

One quote in particular got my personal goat.

ROCK’s President Brian Wickens reportedly said in a November press conference that a former FBI agent had been present inside the facility and witnessed illegal activities in progress.

The attorney for Theatair X pointed out there have never been any arrests made at the establishment and if ROCK’s phantom former FBI agent exists, he has never been identified by that organization nor has he ever reported such to the Clarksville Police.

What follows is the statement that riles me. Ms. Gramig, who is ROCK’s Research & Policy Coordinator offered that she is unaware of any ROCK officials making any contact with law enforcement.

“It’s not ROCK’s job to make sure the police does its job.” Says Gramig.

So if it isn’t the watchdog’s job to sound the alarm when the wolves approach the sheep pen, whose is it??

This is precisely the sort of hypocritical hogwash that has led many of us to wash our hands of the religions of our parents!

They speak of a civic moral responsibility for us to practice yet refuse to get their hands dirty to back it up.

This same logic follows if one were to witness a robbery/rape/murder in broad daylight it would be acceptable to express outrage that it happened while refraining to report the identity of the perpetrator.

And these are the folks that have the concern for my eternal destiny in their hearts??

Give me a break! No wait-----give me a double Scotch neat!!!
