On Tuesday I voted. I did not for, I voted against. I voted against an existential threat. I was not, am not, happy with what that required. I fear I gave a vote to someone who will turn out to be another LBJ (that is NOT a compliment). Unfortunately the alternative was far worse. Did I mention existential threat? Yes, really. No, not overstating it. And I also fear that we didn't avoid the threat, but delayed it - slightly.
But...
I am goddamn tired of being told I and anyone like me is racist.
I am goddamn tired of being told I and anyone like me is sexist.
I am goddamn tired of being told I and anyone like me is homophobic.
I am goddamn tired of being told I and anyone like me is xenophobic.
I am goddamn tired of being told I and anyone like me is uneducated.
I am goddamn tired of all those damned lies, and good many more.
So, yes, I am going to bloody well enjoy a sound message of "FUCK YOU" to damn fools saying such things. I know it won't solve a damn thing, but it's all I have left. And no, I will NOT kiss your ass and make up. I've heard this message, in various forms, for years if not decades now, and e-freaking-nough. You want civility? Try offering some for a change.
