Folks:
A friend sent me this, by E-mail and I though several of you might enjoy it.

"I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person but I was born ‟white,” into a two-parent household, which now labels me as ‟privileged,” racist and responsible for slavery. I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which, by today’s standards, makes me a fascist, because I plan & budget. 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 some folks, now makes me a homophobe. I believe the Lord did not give me the heart, to judge others. I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel. I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a threat to the liberals and I get labeled as being part of a militia. I am older than 40, making me a useless person, with outdated ideas and values. I think and I reason and I doubt much of what the ‟mainstream” media tells me, which makes me a ‟right-wing conspiracy nut.”
I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe. I believe in hard work, fair play and fair compensation, according to each individual’s merits, which, today, makes me a target of socialists and Antifa. I believe our system guarantees freedom of effort - not freedom of outcome or subsidies, which must make me a borderline sociopath.
I believe in a strong defense and protection of America, for and 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 and salute, during our National Anthem. So, I must be a racist. I kneel only for The Cross, which makes me racist. I think that all lives matter, which labels me as a racist. I think the riots and destruction of property, around our country, are wrong and are just an excuse to push a political agenda. So, I’m now labeled a racist.
I support our law enforcement, servicemen and women, which labels me as a racist. I question how fear is being used, to control us, during the COVID-19 pandemic and think the crisis is being used for political gain. So, I’m labeled careless and non-sympathetic. Yet, I know the virus is real.
Liberals have tried to make me feel bad, about who I am! Based on everything above, some want me to believe I am a bad person; I’m not, I’m a good person, who loves my god, my family and my country.
God bless America!"
