I used to think I was just a regular guy, I was born white, which now,
whether I like it or not, makes me a racist. I am a fiscal and moral
conservative, which by today's standards,
makes me a fascist. I am heterosexual, according to gay folks, it makes
me a homophobe.
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of
big business.
I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which now makes me a member of the vast gun
lobby.
I am older than 70 and retired, which makes me a useless old man.
I think and I reason, so I doubt much that the main stream media tells me,
which must make me a reactionary.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me
a xenophobe.
I value my family safety and I appreciate the police and the legal system,
which makes me
a right-wing extremist. I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair
compensation,
according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an
anti-socialist.
I acquired a fair education without student loans and no debt at graduation,
which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever. I believe in the defense
and protection of the homeland
for and by all citizens, which now makes me a militant.
Please help me come to terms with the new me; because I'm just not sure who
I am anymore!
I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these
abrupt, new changes in
my life and my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened
to me so quickly!
Funny. it's all just taken place over the last 8 years?
As if all this poop wasn't enough to deal with; I'm now afraid to go into
either restroom!
