Stereotype Busting Time

Given this guy’s reaction to the election, you’d think someone pissed in his Wheaties this morning. It’s rife with righteous anger and indignation as well as being full of bogus stereotypes about American Southerners. As somone who lives in the South, I thought I’d reply to one small part, though:
The self-righteous, gun-totin’, military lovin’, sister marryin’, abortion-hatin’, gay-loathin’, foreigner-despisin’, non-passport ownin’ red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land “free and strong”.
Let’s go through the litany one-by-one:
- gun-totin’ Ok. I’ll give him this one. But it is a human right and I choose to exercise my human rights.
- military lovin’ I’m not sure what’s wrong with this, so let’s move on.
- sister marryin’ Dude, that’s so worn out. Have you actually ever been to the South?
- abortion-hatin’ I’m not sure why anyone would love abortion. Still, I’m not advocating that it be made illegal.
- gay-loathin’ Wrong. Some of my best friends are gay, and anyone who wants to bash them is going to have to get through me (and a hail of bullets; hmm… perhaps that gun-totin’ thing isn’t so bad after all) to do it.
- foreigner-despisin’ I don’t have a problem with foreigners, provided they don’t try to tell us how to run our country. I welcome anyone who wants to come here and see what America’s all about. I also welcome anyone who wants to become a citizen.
- non-passport ownin’ red-necks Hmm… I’ve got a passport and while my neck is a bit brown, I don’t see any red there in the mirror.
As for the God bit, I’m an agnostic. Amazingly, I haven’t been rounded up and put into the religious camps yet. But you never know…

Hmmmm:
Gun Totin’
Well I own a gun, but the state considers me a convicted Felon in respect to the CHL even though charges were dismissed…
Military Lovin’
I have to bite my tounge when I see I am the ONLY person thanking troops as I travel through Airports
Sister Marryin’
He obviously ain’t met my sisters, besides it’s a cousin thing. ^_^
Abortion Hatin’
Aubrey said it best
Gay-Loathin’
My best man was/is gay.
Foreigner-Despisin’
I don’t despise them, but I don’t give a rat’s ass what they think of me or my country when our very lives are at stake.
Non-Passport Ownin’
Got me, no passport, no plans on getting one, several places I may visit one day, but not finacially worthwhile when I would be a walking target. (Born and raised Texan, anyone would be able to tell I was American from miles away)
I take comfort in the fact this guy cannot own a gun, as he may very well shoot someone walking the streets of London or where ever
Yo Aubrey! That article is HILARIOUSLY stupid and for all his rantings, and sterotyping, he obviously has not visitied the south and thus has no more right to call us sister-marrying as we have to call them non-tooth-brushing (although that is pretty accurate)
Don’t have a sister or a gun.
My passport is about to need pages added.
jackasses like him lead me to become Foreigner-Despisin’…
On top of it all, he doesn’t have the balls to sign his article…
Glad for another 4 years and GOD BLESS THE USA!
Hope all is well.
PeAcE!

So he listed some points. Sounds jealous we have a diverse society that tolerates even his opinion. Lots of countries would have had him shot by now. Still, his whining sounds like he can’t appreciate his own country.
At home, when I was the crazy liberal (though I was a registered Republican), they just accepted me. Sure, sometimes people talked about me behind my back, but they just focused on how they didn’t understand me.
Here, if someone is a crazy conservative, they are evil. When they talk about you, they announce to the world that you’re stupid and unenlightened.
You should buy them some batteries for the enlightening flashlights Bitter. I doubt they can figure out the batteries they have now are dead.
