I used to think I was just a regular guy (or gal), but 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 homo folks, now makes me a homophobe.

I am mostly 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 useless. 

I think and I reason, therefore 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 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 each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.

I (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education without student loan debts (its called working while you learn) and little or 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 and I honor those who served in the Armed Forces, which now makes me a right wing militant.

Please help me come to terms with the new me…because I'm just not sure who the hell I am anymore!   I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these seemingly abrupt, new found changes in my life and my thinking! I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly! 

Funny …its all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years.
 
As if all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with… I’m not sure which restroom to go into...............
