As a man, I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me "Privileged", a racist & responsible for slavery…


I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today's standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.


I went to High School, got a degree, got in some college & 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 a homophobe.


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


I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a de facto member of the "vast NRA gun lobby”


I am older than 60, making me a useless eater who doesn't understand Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat.


I think & I reason, and I doubt much of what the "main stream" media tells me, which makes me a "Right-wing conspiracy nut”.


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


I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual's merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.


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 & protection of America for & by all 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 & salute 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!

Funny - it all took place over the last 7 or 8 years! If all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with, now I don't even know which restroom to use… and I gotta go more FREQUENTLY!

I'm a "T", too! I can not hardly believe what is going on anymore. The media is completely out of control!

Yes I'm a T . And since I have claimed I'm not a racist I am now informed that means I am! Things that make me ponder

Yep, that's me too. Oh wait, "me too" also means something else now doesn't it? The world or at least our part of it has lost its mind.

Yep. Describes everything except my "entitlement" that I've been getting for the last 15 years. The one that I worked to earn for more than 50 years.

I believe the word they use now is “Chazzhole”. I don’t know if you have to be born there or just a resident. I’ve been called many things in my life, but that may be a new one. (I’ve never been to Seattle).

Living in SoCal for 47 years I’ve been called everything, mostly on the roads. I prefer to call those Seattle occupiers CHAZIS. I’ve never been to Seattle either but I have seen a Starbucks.

When my Dad came home from Viet Nam in late 66 he had changed from the man I knew before he left.
He would shake his head and scream, yes scream what the hell is going on in this country.
I was raised by this guy that had served in three of Americas wars or conflicts call them what you will.
But because of the way he saw things and how they should be so go I.
At this time I laugh more and more at myself as I repeat my fathers words and a few times have turned
around half expecting that man to be standing there., saying see what I mean.

I've made these same observations and although I'm not as long in the tooth I agree with each point made. As an African American man (Identifies as simply American lol) who actively serves in the USMC. Going back home means being subjected to the same criticisms but tac on Race trader, sell out, uncle tom, and whatever 'deplorable' group CNN chooses to point their cannon at this week :rolleyes: I must admit it gets harder and harder to hear them when I'm blowing by'em all on my F6B lol.

Looks like we are all part of a new "Me Too" movement. I'm ok with that...

I guess I'm a Me Too also, now that I see what it means! And you guys make me very proud to be one these "Me Too" people.

By the way, I've woke up every day of my nearly 64 years free to enjoy life as I see fit as have my children and Grandchildren. And that's because of you veterans! Thanks for your service.
