It's Going to Happen
While you’re sitting there listening to Limbaugh, or watching Beck – while you’re carrying a mis-spelled placard around with words like No amnety! or Make English our Offical Language, or some other slogan that slaughters the language you allegedly hold so dear – while you go teabaggin’ with your equally ill-informed neighbors, leaving no doubt in anyone’s mind about how ignorant you are – while you’re railing against the immigrants who are ruining the community you live in – while you’re tossing around words and phrases you think denote your superiority over non-White, non-Christians that actually demonstrate your inferior intellect, it’s going to happen.
Well now, isn't that special? Manages to fit in every liberal stereotype of conservatives, act down-your-nose elitist, and self own at the same time. Is there nothing this dunt can't do?
Your son is going to meet some slope-eyed gook
in his high school science class, and think she’s the most beautiful, articulate young woman he’s ever met. He’s going to dream about taking her to the prom – and eventually, he will. And your ravings about it will fall on decidedly deaf ears. He’ll start wondering why you’re such a bloviating idiot, incapable of seeing in her everything that he sees, plain as day.
Well, you're almost there. Not quite but almost.
My oldest son married one of his best friends. She's a beautiful young lady who is educated, has common sense, loves her country, and (most importantly) loves my son. Her heritage is Black, Indian (as in from India), and White.
Did you notice, DUmbass, that her racial makeup was not the first thing I mentioned?
My reaction was far from what
you would expect out of a conservative Southerner: I gave her a big hug and welcomed her to my family. I also cautioned her to never bring shame or dishonor on her new family name.
So that makes you 0 for 1.
Your daughter is going to go away to college. She’s going to room with a dorm-mate she finds fascinating and witty. When she finds out her roommate is a lesbian, it’s not going to change her affection or admiration for her one iota. She’s going to question exactly what it is about this lovely friend, and people like her, that you find so offensive. She’s going to start finding you and your ideas to be more offensive than anything her roommate has ever said or done.
Sorry, homosexuality doesn't bother me. I just don't want it put in front of my children or shoved into my face (like you liberal shitbags do).

Your youngest brother is going to follow in the footsteps of his father, his grandfather, and his uncles, and join the military. He’s going to be stationed somewhere in the Middle East. He’s going to become best friends with an Iraqi translator who shares his love of the same books, the same music, the same art. He’s going to wonder why you think his new friend is so vastly “different†because they don’t practice the same religion – when, in fact, they are so similar in so many respects. He’s going to realize that you’re a narrow-minded jerk – and a lot less of a “good Christian†than you’ve always professed yourself to be.
Religious preference matters less than homosexuality unless it's being used as an excuse to kill me or take over my country. And as far as being a "good Christian", we're told to love the sinner and hate the sin. Guess you were too hung over on that particular Sunday morning, huh?

Your favorite cousin is going to “come out†at a family reunion. He’s going to introduce his partner to everyone in attendance, and proudly so. Some of your family members will embrace the idea – some won’t. But those who do will start seeing you as a mindless homophobe, and will be grateful that their favorite cousin didn’t wind up with someone as blatantly narrow-minded as you take pride in being.
Addressed this one already.

Your best bud at work is going to invite you to a meeting about joining a union. He’s going to explain to you why unions exist to protect workers’ rights, while you go on and on about socialism and communism (and all the other terms you don’t understand, but spew anyway by rote), and how the country is going down the toilet because workers are demanding safe working conditions and an honest wage. He’s going to realize you’re too deafened by talking points from the very people who don’t care whether you earn enough to look after your family to hear the facts that are in your own best interest.
Sorry, dunt, but this one just doesn't fly. I will be glad to sit my "best bud" down and explain to them that being in a union very simply means that we will lose our ability to negotiate our own salaries and hand money to the union every paycheck for basically nothing. I'll gladly show my "best bud" how the unions are squandering their own members pensions. I'll also tell them of the times I worked in the shittiest conditions imaginable, shoulder to shoulder with union employees, who were suffering in those same conditions for $10 less
an hour than I was.
I'll also be glad to show my "best bud" that when somebody says that it's in their best interest to do something, they need to tell that person to **** off. Keep their freedom and keep their dignity, not live according to how someone else thinks they should.

Your wife is going to stop attending the church you and she have been members of for as long as anyone can remember, (at first with some sense of reluctance, and later with great enthusiasm), because she’s come to realize that the preaching of politics from the pulpit is as un-American as it is un-Christian.
Sorry, we don't attend Rev Wright's "church" so that probably won't be a problem.
She’ll remember that Jesus said to “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’sâ€.
She, like I, remember that every time we render unto the IRS and watch it get squandered by those who seek to be our masters...
She’ll remember that Jesus admonished his followers to look after the poor, the homeless, the sick, and the helpless in His name – and she’ll recognize that these simple truths have been supplanted by political persuasion that preach the exact opposite behavior as being “Christian values†to be adhered to.
I know, right? Isn't it horrible how the liberals have supplanted good Christian charities that did great work and forced it upon the taxpayers to be run by corrupt humanists in the government?

She’ll start wondering when the man she has shared a bed with for all of her adult life became too far removed from Christ’s teachings to recognize that they are being turned into something abhorrent, something so contrary to their purpose. She’ll recognize that the man she looked up to for years has turned out to be someone to be looked down upon – an easily-manipulated sheep, as opposed to the manly shepherd she once thought she’d married.
I'm not a liberal, sugar pants, this isn't going to happen. Although I'm sure it has to you at some point.

But it is changing – one citizen at a time, one moment-of-truth at a time, one life-long friendship at a time, one realization at a time, one mixed-race baby at a time, one inter-faith marriage at a time, one welcome to the community regardless-of-where-you-came-from at a time, one I-love-you-no-matter-what-comes-our-way at a time, one I-will-stand-with-you-and-uphold-your-rights at a time, one Nation Indivisible by those who would divide us for their own purposes, whatever their purposes might be.
Isn't watching the Conservative resurgence great? Oh, you didn't mean it that way, did you?
This country has, from its inception, been shaped by those who refused to be identified with one religion, one ethnic background, one political persuasion, one opinion, one language, one culture, one perception, one way of thinking, being, or believing to the exclusion of all else.
No, you ignorant dunt, this country was founded by those who wished to live free, not be told what to do, have the fruits of their labor taken without a say, and be able to limit the government.
Try cracking open a history book instead of a liquor bottle.
And so shall it always be. Amen.
Epic Fail...
