I USED TO THINK I WAS A NORMAL PERSON .......... and then I learned
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, which according to gay folks, now makes me a “Xenophobe”.
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 retired, which makes me “Useless”.
I am logical, can think and reason, therefore I don’t believe much of what the main stream news 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 safety and that of my family 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 every individual's merits, which today makes me an “Anti-Socialist”.
I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loans (it’s called work) and no debt at graduation, which makes me an “Odd Underachiever”.
I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens, which now makes me a “Militant”.
In the recent presidential election, a sick old woman called me and many of my friends “An Irredeemable Basket of Deplorables”.
Please help me come to terms with “The New Me, because I‘m just not sure who I am anymore !
Strange that this has all taken place in the “Last Eight Years”!
If this wasn’t enough to deal with, “Now I’m No Longer Certain Which Public Bathroom I’m Supposed to Use”
