Why do u seem so conservative with an international background like yours? why do u hate French so much?

My best friend is French descent and he hates the French. I just don't like folks who don't have the decency to be gracious even when they aren't happy about something. There's a lack of decency that afflicts both sides of the Atlantic among Socialists. I see it as my mission to bring socialists from both sides together. Preferably on a raft in the middle of the Atlantic.

I'm actually a redneck from Tennessee. I've just travelled a lot and learned a bunch of languages in the process. I try to keep an open mind, but in the process of seeing quite a few things, I've always seen a certain group of people who constantly try to destroy our way of life. It's always the Socialists.

So it's not necessarily the French I hate, it's the philosophy of the socialists in power. I know plenty of wonderful people from France. The more wonderful they are, the more they too, hate socialists.

I've been through the favelas of Brasil to the top of the Eiffel Tower. In the end, whenever I encounter human misery, somewhere, there is a socialist behind it.

Conservative? Yep. Whatever political activism I have to do to keep those socialists out of my wallet and away from my children is what I'll do.
