The new me, so sad and yet so true

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a racist & responsible for slavery.
 
I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan & support myself.
 
I went to HS, worked through college, got a degree & have held a job, & am here not because I earned it but because I was advantaged.
 
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a homophobe.
 
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class & ally of big business.
 
I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
 
I am older than 65 & retired, making me a useless old man who doesn't understand Facebook.
 
I think & I reason, so I doubt what main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.
 
I am proud of my heritage & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
 
I value my safety & that of my family, & I appreciate the police & the legal system, making me a right-wing, cop loving extremist.
 
I believe in hard work, fair play, & 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 borderline sociopath.
 
I believe in the defense & protection of America for & by all citizens, now making me a militant.
 
I am proud of our flag, what it stands for, & the many who died to let it fly so I stand & salute during our National Anthem, taking me back where I started - I must be a racist.
 
Please help me come to terms with the new me because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!
 
I thank my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt, new found changes to my thinking!
 
I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!
 
Funny - it all took place over the last 7 or 8 years! (Thanks liberal media)
 
If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, I don't know which restroom to use, & I gotta go!!!

Welcome aboard on this one Coin (been there, done that) ;-)

Proving again, it's not really WHO your identity claims, but WHAT you are!

Stand up for yourself and what you believe in, individual voices matter, it matters much, even if it means standing alone.

As Thomas Wolf says "You have the right stuff!"

Do not underestimate the power of the silent majority. We are the backbone of our Country.
   If the radicals do not like this Country than they should move to the one they do like.
    At least move out of the State and into one where they will be welcomed.
