Who Me? Normal?

Posted on 28/04/2021 by Grumpa Joe

 I used to be a normal person Yes, I reckon that’s a fair description of me. 

As an individual, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent, two gender household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist and responsible for slavery. 

I am fiscally responsible and moral, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget and support myself. 

I went to school, worked my way “up the ladder”, and have always held a job. But I now find out that I am not here because I earned it, but because I was “advantaged”. 

I am heterosexual, which according to “gay” folks, now makes me homophobic. 

I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel. 

I am older than 60, making me a useless person who doesn’t understand Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. 

I think and I reason, and I doubt much of what the “mainstream” media tells me, which makes me a “Right-wing conspiracy nut”. 

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive culture, making me a xenophobe. 

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me anti-socialist and probably a misogynist. 

I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort – not freedom of outcome or subsidies which must make me a borderline sociopath. 

I believe in the defense and protection of the USA for and by all its citizens, now making me a militant. 

I am proud of our flag, what it stands for and the many who died to let it fly, so I stand during our National Anthem – so I must be a racist. 

Please help me come to terms with the new me because I’m just not sure who I am anymore! If all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with, now I don’t even know which restroom to use… and I have to go more FREQUENTLY!

O’s Arizona Solution

Posted on 13/05/2010 by Grumpa Joe

It will start with a minor shift to move the border north of  Tucson and Phoenix, and give them back to Mexico. At the rate Obama is going with his immigration policy, the final result will be a border shift all the way to Canada. The United States of America will be a line on the map. Without a secure border, do we have a country?

 A week ago, I saw a news flash on Mother’s Day with two mothers pleading to Iran to let their kids out of jail. It seems their asshole children were hiking in Iraq along the Iranian border just for fun. Evidently, they wandered across the Iranian border. Gee, all of a sudden they became illegal aliens. As much as I hate Iran I commend them for keeping their border secure.

If we did the same along the Mexican border, perhaps Obama wouldn’t have to strain himself tugging the border northward.
