It's been 20 years since my last liberal
thought knee-jerk reaction.
I still remember the day I first recognized I was a CONSERVATIVE. I was graduating high school, and thinking about Ronald Reagan one-liners while the class valedectorian was rambling on about going out and fighting for social justice, fairness and making a difference in the lives of the little people.
I went on from there to College, and rather than rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars in Student Loans and Guv'mint grants, I -
gasp- paid my own way, and too 8 years to work my way through a 4 year engineering degree. Even worse, when my, concerned, caring Marxist college professors would
rant speak passionately on the subjects near and dear to their hearts; like the evil nature of America, American support of Zionism, American Imperialism in the world, and the failure of the American people to provide a proper welfare safety net for those among us less fortunate, a flashing neon
BS sign would appear in the corner or my eye.
And then, came that fateful day. I was 21 years old, and against my mother's most stringent warnings, I went into...
(duhn...duhn...duhn...) the Voting Booth. Even then I had the choice; I could have cast my vote for that great American leader, William Jefferson Clinton and lent my voice to the great Socialist cause he was leading. But no; I voted for... The REPUBLICAN. Even worse, rather than learn from my uncaring, racist, sexist, bigoted and most certainly homophobic choice, I went back to the voting booth again, and voted for the REPUBLICAN again in 1996.
Since then my life has been a steady downhill slide of working to make a profit - even working in evil industries that obviously oppress the lower class, erect glass ceilings of sexism, and
(duhn...duhn...duhn...) had incredibly huge carbon footprints as they raped oil, natural gas and minerals from Mother Earth and formed them into crass man-made things, like airplanes, gasoline and warm houses. I married a woman, and we have been living in a horrible, faithful monogamous relationship in which I rake in my obscene profits, and force her to stay at home with the children; unproductive and unfulfilled. I force my children to learn to be self-sufficient, to be educated and not just indoctrinated, and to enjoy working for
(duhn...duhn...duhn...) profits. I'm a horrible human being, because I believe that there really is evil in this old world, and that God expects us good folk to engage and defeat that evil, rather than succumb to it. See; there I go being divisive again...
I am here to admit that I am a CONSERVATIVE, and that I don't need a government program, safety net or handout to fix that.
