I’m an angry white man. I live in a red state. I voted for Newt Gingrich in 1994. I voted for President Bush in 2004. I am a sexist, homophobic, conservative animal. I caused blue state succession talk. I am to blame for everything that is wrong in the world—slavery, women’s oppression, worldwide famine, and pestilence. I have become the most spat upon by my own countrymen. I have become reviled and denigrated by the mainstream media as being greedy and creating poverty. I believe in the Founding Fathers and the U.S. Constitution. And I am in favor of morality and the belief that God “created the Heavens and the Earth.”
For forty years, liberalism has sought to cage my love of America. I am to blame for The Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World Wars I and II. I dared to rally the American people under the banner of the Stars and Stripes to help overcome tyranny and despotism. In the Korean War, I called on World War II vets and young soldiers to fight Chinese communists. I get chills when I see the American flag flying in the breeze, and shed a tear when I hear the Star Spangled Banner playing.
In Vietnam, I celebrated the return of our fine young men and women when others spat on them. While liberals threw medals at the White House, I held them in contempt. I denied the charges of liberals when they denigrated the men and women in the National Guard by accusing them of dodging the draft. I rejoiced in the news that we were slowing the spread of communism in Southeast Asia. I am proud of The Wall and of those men that fought in an honorable war, giving the ultimate sacrifice for liberty. I salute the men and women that reported for duty, serving honorably without embellishing their record. I love their courage and will never forget them.
I championed the soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen that came home from Operation Desert Storm. I proudly displayed the American flag when America’s sons and daughters kicked a tyrannical thug out of Kuwait, liberating people from oppression once again. I wept the day the Twin Towers fell to the ground, and rejoiced when the first bombs fell on the Taliban. I cheered louder and longer the day Saddam Hussein was yanked from the spider hole. My chest swells with pride as the Iraqi people grow more and more sovereign every day. I feel the loss of every son and daughter in the War on Terror as if it were my own child. I continue my unconditional support of our U.S. Military with every nerve ending in my body. I love the United States of America and have faith in the greatest country in the world, especially the people that represent it.
I believed that all Americans were created equal by helping to initiate Civil Rights legislation in Congress. As one of my presidents, President Nixon was the first to implement Affirmative Action policies. I am a friend to all Americans—African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and women. I believe that meritocracy is the key to success for Americans, resulting in a stronger country. I feel women are far too special—having the ability to carry life inside of them—to treat as subservient. I stand strongly against categorizing them as if they’re victims. Nevertheless, in the minds of feminists, I am responsible for keeping women’s wages low through pregnancy and motherhood. I feel it is my duty to protect the woman I love, my family, and my property.
So, I became angrier when Chris Matthews verbally assaulted Michelle Malkin and cut her second segment—a woman of fine integrity and a wonderful example of intellectual conservatism. I was enraged—October 20, 2004—when Joe Scarborough treated Ann Coulter like a second class citizen, trying to impugn the intelligence of a brilliant woman. This is a woman that isn’t just a pretty face, but makes feminists wet their Depends and liberal men call for their mothers when comparing I.Q. tests. I am confident that Ann Coulter is one of the finest representatives of womanhood and conservatism in America.
I still think Rush Limbaugh is “The Passion.” I’m an advocate of the EIB Network and believe that Rush’s work is imperative to conservatism’s success in America. I detest the way the mainstream media treats Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Glenn Beck. I can never applaud these men enough for their efforts in stomping out socialism. They represent and embody the beliefs of the majority of Americans. They enjoy the work they do and perform a necessary duty in admonishing liberalism. They are true beacons of this great Republic, and men I admire the most.
Throughout the history of this great country, I have supported the belief in capitalism, Americanism, and conservatism. As part of one of the biggest election mandates in our history, I am embodied in every hardworking, God fearing, patriotic American—from accountants to small business owners, from construction workers to talk radio hosts, and from President George Washington to President George W. Bush. I have been verbally beaten, battered, and bruised, but I return. I am an American that has been labeled by liberals everywhere, regardless of race or ethnic origin.
As a conservative, I have been labeled, “an angry white man.”
Bert,
You're to blame for more than that. :)
Chris
Affirmative action today is very different than what it was years ago, which was to open up professions and opportunities previously closed to black people because of what existed in this country beforehand.
Yep. Married men know it well. :)
You're to blame for putting more carbon dioxide in the air by breathing.
My pleasure!
I would change “I am to blame for everything that is wrong in the world…” to “I am blamed for everything that is wrong in the world…”
Second, I would change “Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, and Glenn Beck…” to “Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingram, Hugh Hewitt, Michael Medved, and Glenn Beck”
Other than that. I am going to post it on my favorite liberal board. If that is ok?
If you're posting it on DUH, let us know how it went ;-)
Absolutely. It was needed at the time. Especially in the South, but now that we're long past it, it's time to move towards a meritocracy.
Affirmative action actually wronged everyone involved, from the well qualified who were not hired because they were not of a 'protected group', to the well qualified who were of a protected group whom people assumed were hired only because they were protected, to the people who relied on being part of a group to get hired rather than pursue being qualified.
The idea sucked then and it still sucks.
Well we disagree then.
He's as angry as they get. For a High Priest.
Post away. I actually ran out of names as I was trying to think of more. Of course brevity keeps things from going too long. The past tense would've been better in blamed. Where were you 24 hours ago? :)
Chris
The aim should be a meritocracy. I don't think it will be perfect because nothing is perfect in life. Considering the past history, I think progress towards that has been pretty fast.
Naw, I go to Harmony-central.com and go to "open jam" (non music related thread) and watch 'em whine.
It's a great site when you get tired of talking politics with a bunch of freepers that agree with you. 'Course, it's best if you are a musician. I believe the average age there is lower than here. And people can rant with any kind of language they want, so someone from Freerepublic can come across as awfully "adult" over there. 8^>
I'm Robroy there too.
I agree. We've made lots of strides, but you're right, nothing is perfect.
" I am going to post it on my favorite liberal board. If that is ok?"
That will make your day, and ruin theirs....good idea!
Focusing on the progress and being positive should also be a goal. I meet too many people who whine a lot. Whining isn't healthy.
Yep. Of course we'll never completely get rid of the whiners, but the positive people can move on up the food chain. The whiners can stay down at the bottom as they choose to be.
Stay away from Boston..whining is like mothers milk to them.
