My, how times have changed!


 
 
 MY, HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED!

I used to think I was just a regular guy, but . . . 
 
I was born white, which now, whether I like it or not, makes me a 'racist.' 
 
I am a fiscal and moral conservative,
which by today's standards, makes me a 'fascist.'
 
I am heterosexual, which according to gay folks, now makes me a 'homophobe.'
 
I am non-union, which makes me a 'traitor' to the working class
and an 'ally of big business.'
 
I am not Islamic, therefore, Islamic folks label me an 'infidel.' 
 
I believe in the 2nd Amendment,
which now makes me a member of the 'vast gun lobby.'
 
I am older than 70, which makes me a 'useless old man.'    
I think and reason, therefore,
I doubt much that the main stream media tells me,
which must make me a 'reactionary.'
 
I vote in favor of borders, language and culture.
Therefore, I'm labelled part of the 'vast right-wing conspiracy.'
 
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture
which makes me a 'xenophobe.'
 
I value my safety and that of my family
 and I appreciate the police and the legal system,
which makes me a 'right-wing extremist.'
 
I believe in hard work, fair play and fair compensation
according to each individual's merits,
which today makes me an 'anti-socialist.'
 
I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland for and by all citizens,
which now makes me a 'militant.'
 
Now, a sick old woman is calling me and my friends a 'basket of deplorables.'
 
Please help me come to terms with the new me . . .
because I'm just not sure who I am anymore!
 
I would like to thank all my friends for sticking with me through these abrupt,
new-found changes in my life and my thinking!
 
I just can't imagine or understand what's happened to me so quickly!
 
Funny . . . it's all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years!
 
As if all this nonsense wasn't enough to deal with . . .
I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!
