Old Man

[George "Scott" Davis]

*

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 homophobic.*
I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an ally of big business.*
I am a Christian, which now labels me as an infidel.*
I am older than 65, which makes me a useless old man.*
I think and I reason, therefore I doubt much that the main stream media tells me, which must make me a reactionary.*
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive 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 country 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 and as if all this crap wasn't enough to deal with, *
I'm now afraid to go into either restroom!
