Confused

Thought you might find this interesting. Thanks to Judy for sharing.

I used to think I was just a regular person, 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 now makes me a homophobe.

I am union, which makes me a traitor to the country while still a friend of the working class and an enemy of big business.

I was baptized a Christian but became an atheist, which now labels me as an infidel for all religions.

I am retired, which makes me useless.

I think and I reason, therefore, I doubt much that the mainstream media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage, 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 (and most of the folks I know), acquired a fair education with some (not huge) student loan debt and after a lifetime of hard work I have little or no debt, which makes me some kind of an odd underachiever.

I believe in the defence and protection of my country and I honour those who served in the Armed Forces, which now makes me a right wing-militant.

Please help me come to terms with the new me... because I'm just not sure who the hell I am anymore!

Funny ... it’s all just taken place over the last 7 or 8 years; prior to which I had no confusion or delusions about myself.

As if all this nonsense wasn’t enough to deal with ... Now I’m not even sure which toilet to go into!
