MEET JIM, NOT EVERYONE LIKES HIM! SO WHAT?
YEP! I'M A GOOD AMERICAN
I am the Neocon-Conservative's worst Nightmare.
I follow their example of capitalization and
double-spacing in my replies to them but will
not omit the apostrophe indicating "possession".
I was a Master Mason, Secretary of the Lodge, until
a state officer embezzeled Masonic funds. I began
to see that Masonic dogma can be used for less-than-
good purposes and that describing one's self as
a Master Mason is intended disarm those who would
question one's character.
I ride in a four-wheeled Toyota pickup truck because
of it's utility, economy and frequency of repair
record and believe that blind allegiance to Nationalism
is a form of insanity.
I believe the money I make is the result of
the opportunity I've been provided by those
who have gone before me. Thus, I feel obligated
to see that a bit of it goes to help the needy, not
some Neocon governmental functionary to finance
wars of aggression.
I'm in touch with my feelings and try to consider
the feelings of others. And, I like it that way.
I think owning a long-gun could make you a hunter
while owning a pistol could make you a plinker,
collector, or killer. Smart Americans use a
scatter gun for home protection rather than use a
hand-cannon, the use of which might very well kill
a loved one in another room.
I think being a minority does not make you
noble or victimized. Yet, I understand that a
certain entitlement is required to ameliorate
the limitations of education imposed upon minorities
for most of their lives. A helping hand may offset
a little of the hand that held chains, whips, and ropes.
Decent folks will help their neighbors, regardless
of their color, culture, sexual orientation, age, size, or
religion. Knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, red-necked
Neocons can take their inhumanity and stick it!
I believe that, if you are selling me a
Big Mac, you can point to a picture if
English is becoming your second language.
I believe that everyone has right to pray to
his or her god, if any, when it doesn't interfere
with critical responsibilities.
I love the memory of John Wayne, Babe Ruth, and
Roy Rogers. Yet, my heroes are Mark Twain,
Robert Ingersol, Stephen Jay Gould, Carl Sagan,
Isaac Assimov, et al.
I don't hate the rich; I consider the plight of
the poor.
I know wrestling is fake but enjoyed watching it
with Grandma, who just knew that Danny Savage was
really raking a Grand Prize beer cap across Gorgeous
George's eyes.
I've never owned a slave, though I thought I had
until my first wife got me straightened out in a
hurry. I've been a slave to a number of things
but only a boss or two who felt I should earn the
monies provided me. I haven't burned any witches,
though I've pissed-off one or two. I haven't been
persecuted by the Turks or anyone else except an
ex-wife who I wish would shut up already...and
loud-mouthed, mindless Neocons who incessantly
push ignorance over facts, Nationalism over Globalism,
Patriotism over Common Sense, Religion over Realism.
I believe if you don't like the way things
are here, you can work in our Democracy to change
them. This is a part of America, as is Canada, Mexico,
Meso- and South America. This is the United States of
America and we change it for the better as intellect
and circumstances demand.
If you were born here and don't like it, you are free
to work to change it. And, if Neocons don't like positive,
morally-required changes, they can go establish their own
dictatorship and have George W. Bush for the Dictator.
I'm not a bit interested in knowing which church it is where
Reverend Jesse Jackson preaches anymore than I am in knowing
where Ann Coulter practices law. I feel certain that
Coulter's gets her money from hate-filled, devisive
Neocons who delight in her trashy, despicable invective. She,
perhaps, he is an highest example of the Ugly American that
the rest of the world abhors.
Can I get a "Hell, yes" to that one?
I also think the cops have limited rights to pull
you over and should exercise those rights upon lawbreakers.
It is right if warranted and unacceptable if not. And, I wonder
how the general noun "god" got placed upon our currency in place of
the proper noun "YHWH". It is a mystery to me but I think that
there are folks too ignorant to understand what I've written...
and proud of that ignorance.
I think that if a ballot is so poorly designed that its
proper completion is not intuitive, then the folks that
created it are stupid or attempting fraud. I don't want them
deciding, by their deception, who should be running the most
militarily powerful nation in the world for the next
four years.
I feel that each citizen, including the President of the United
States, should honor his Country in anyway that he or she feels
fit and not by a method demanded by some Neocon nitwit.
I don't dislike folks trying to stay alive through any legal
activity. I don't feel guilt or shame for saying, "Thank you, no."
It could be that the Neocon agenda has put the poor stiff into
that untenable position.
I believe that each of us is instrumental to our society and its
children. When a child is about to do something dangerous or
illegal, it is unconscionable for an adult not to speak up. Too,
single-parent families can raise fine children who may grow up to
be President.
I believe that 'illegal' is illegal according to the law as it
stands and that unjust laws should be overturned whenever
necessary.
I believe the American flag is an honorable representation of the
group of colonies that have come together, united in their desire
to offer freedom, liberty, and opportunity to all. While it is
displayed in the highest position on a flagpole, as it should be,
no asshole Neocon will ever deprive me of flying the flag of the
Lone Star State, formerly Republic of Texas, just under it.
If this make me a GOOD American, then yes,
I'm a GOOD American.
If you are a GOOD American, too, please print this missive
out and shove it some Neocon's ass.
We've got our Country back!
WE NEED CARING, HARD-WORKING, REPECTFUL, INTELLIGENT, DECENT
FOLKS IN OUR COUNTRY WHOSE HONORABLE, WORTHY PROTESTATIONS
AND DECLARATIONS STIFLE THE HATE-FILLED GARBAGE SPEWED OUT BY
DISGUSTING NEOCONS.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE FOLKS WERE AND ARE BRAVE ENOUGH TO PUT THEIR HEELS ON THE THROATS OF THOSE WHO WOULD DIVIDE US UNDER THE GUISE OF PATRIOTISM!
