No place for common sense in America any more, but here is some anyway, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. As a man [or woman], I used to think I was pretty much just a regular person, but I was born white, into a two-parent household which now, whether I like it or not, makes me “Privileged”, a racist & responsible for slavery.

• I am a fiscal & moral conservative, which by today’s standards, makes me a fascist because I plan, budget & support myself.
• I went to High School, got a degree, got in some college & have always held a job. 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 “gay” folks, now makes me a homophobe.
• I am not a Muslim, which now labels me as an infidel.
• I believe in the 2nd Amendment, which makes me a de facto member of the “vast NRA gun lobby”.
• I am older than 60, making me a useless eater who doesn’t understand Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat.
• I think & 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 & our inclusive American culture, making me a xenophobe.
• I believe in hard work, fair play, & fair compensation according to each individual’s merits, which today makes me an anti-socialist.
