Not Real Americans

[valarltd]

Rep Hayes of NC announced “liberals hate real Americans that work and achieve and believe in God.”

So what does that make me?
Let the Rep come on a ride-along with me for work. I do a 10 hour day, driving and unloading a semi. Then he can tell me how hard-working I’m not.

Let him write 7 novels and two dozen short stories. Let him make 4 afghans a year. Then he can tell me I’m not achieving.

Let him come to church with me. The next ritual is Samhain. And he can tell me I don’t believe in God. (I believe in more gods than he does!)

But because I'm liberal (the only logical position for a queer, pagan woman. check the party platforms) I'm not a Real American.

Never mind that Kansas City birth certificate.
Never mind the fact I've worked since I was 15.
Never mind the fact I've always believed in God in some way, even when we were quarrelling.

Because I believe in clean air and water, better infrastructure, health care as a right in a civilized society, freedom of religion (not just for Christians) and same-sex marriage, I'm not a Real American.

Representative, get a new job.

I love that they're so panicked that they're going to soon lose power that they're letting their mask slip. May the ugliness of the true face haunt them forever when they try to seize power again.

What are ya, some kinda bleedin' heart pinko fag or somethin'?

Yeah, me too. ;)

I suppose since we aren't real Americans, that makes us fake Americans. Faux Americana, if you want to get scientific about it. Unfortunately, we can't get scientific about it, since evolution is a tool of the devil.

Remember the "--God" billboards?

I liked the faux one that said "Oh for my sake! Evolve already!--God"

My personal fave was "Don't make me come up there." -- The Devil.
