I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person.
I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “privileged”, a racist and responsible for slavery.
I am a fiscal & moral conservative which, by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself.
I went to high school, paid my way thru college and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged”.
I am heterosexual which, according to “gay” folks, makes me a homophobe.
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a member of the “vast NRA gun lobby”
I think and I reason, and I doubt most of what the “main stream” media tells me, which makes me a “Right-wing conspiracy nut”.
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which makes me a xenophobe.
I believe in hard work, fair play and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort – not freedom of outcome or subsidies, which must make me a sociopath.
I believe in the defense and protection of America for and by all citizens, making me a militant.
I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand and salute during our National Anthem – so now I am considered a racist by the Media.
Please help me come to terms with all of this, because I’m just not sure who I am anymore!
It all took place over the last 10 years.
If all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with, now I don’t even know which restroom to use… and I gotta go more FREQUENTLY!
