BEING PC: It's just not for me

| August 29, 2012 9:15 PM

I saw a bumper sticker on eBay and it made me smile. It said, “Straight, Conservative, Christian, Gun Owner. How else can I piss you off today?” It made me wonder how many groups would consider this hate speech?

Living in a politically correct world, I am a “Right Wing Extremist.” I get my rules of conduct from an ancient book (The Bible). As a veteran I recognize my nation’s flag (because it represents the freedom we ALL cherish). I often carry a firearm, because I can, and my sexual orientation just is.

I read recently a liberal saying that “Republicans would crawl through broken glass to vote for a candidate that they didn’t even like.” I suppose that means in our two-party system, he would prefer I vote for his candidate. Well, I’m not known for taking the easy way out. So they can spread the broken glass, and I’ll bring some Band-aids.
