Below is a link to a blog written by an 82 year old woman named Helen.

Click and decide for yourself, but I am appalled at their “candor”.  If my grandparents were alive and reading their posts, they would be shocked even if they agreed with the writer on the issue(s).  I am trying to admire them for their willingness to do something new and share their thoughts with people and they likely because of their age they have had a significant impact on bloggers (at least those using WordPress), but their lack of decorum for people of their age is frankly deplorable.

Paul writes to Titus,

…teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.  (Titus 2:3)

And the adoring comments are too much.  Bloggers are practically worshipping these ladies because their age combined with their view point is like a vindication of the way that the liberal bloggers think about current events.  If two older ladies are saying it, it must be right!

I was going to post something like this on their website, but I decided against it.  Partly because I didn’t want to give the satisfaction of being able to say something like, “If you don’t like it, don’t read it.”  Partly because I didn’t think that quoting scripture on their blog would be very useful.  And partly because I didn’t want to validate the “feelings” of the liberal bloggers swooning over Helen’s writing by giving them more reason to heap praises on her for “articulat(ing) my thoughts exactly on so many things, and I love the bluntness and perspective.”

Sigh.
