Hey guys, remember in elementary school when we read all those uplifting and heroic stories about hard-working immigrants who floated here from Europe in the bilges of cargo ships and then worked the rest of their lives doing horrible jobs just to give their kids a chance at a better life?
Yeah, me neither.
Honestly, the Obama's a Secret Kenyan Mooslim thing was pretty pervasive at least during the election. Even my otherwise rational parents bought into it. My dad doesn't anymore, I assume my mom doesn't, it was all that excitement and tension making people dumb.
Speaking of the mosque, my heavily republican colleague (His Facebook political blurb reads "redneck conservative" to give you an idea") got all up on me when I mentioned that condemning an entire religion because of 9/11 was a little retarded. He said "Alright, I'll just go and build a Shinto shrine near Pearl Harbor"
Disregarding the fact that he only brought it up so we would all know he knew what Shinto was (When you associate long enough with him, you get an eye for stuff like this, we can all read him like a book) and I said that it was a false analogy because Pearl Harbor was an act of open war, not religiously motivated terrorism, and he said I just posted the whole thing to get attention and left.
Thankfully someone posted he was going to build a daycare next to Neverland Ranch, and cleared the air a bit.
This is a pretty long, meandering post. I'm summing it up: I think losing the election made the Republicans go crazy
