Who's unAmerican?
We think your economic theories are crap, but we've never said you shouldn't be allowed to speak. We just reserve the right to make fun of you and point out your mistakes.

We don't necessarily believe that Big Business has our best interests at heart, but we don't want to eliminate it. We just want to keep a close eye on it and make sure it pays its fair share. Not unreasonable. Just smart.

We don't necessarily agree with your religious views, but we're not advocating burning your churches down. Unless WE believe just like you do, you'd just soon chase us out of the country.

We might think you're a racist ass, but we much prefer those who are to stand up and state it for the record than slink whispering it to others that feel the same way. It's easier to keep an eye on an asshole we KNOW is an asshole than one we don't. We happen to believe that heroes come in all sizes, colors, and genders. It's not OUR fault that you worship rich white men almost exclusively.

We know you have contempt for women, unless they're scary, skinny blondes in cocktail dresses that say things that should make any American flinch back in horror. We're sorry you feel that way, since WE think women have accomplished some great things in the world, despite everything people like you have done to stand in their way.

We believe that people don't CHOOSE who they love and as long as they're consenting adults, it's none of our business. We have to question the reason for your obsession with the sex lives of other people. Is it because you're just jealous that someone's actually getting some? Or is it because the stuff that lives in your head is so scary you're afraid of anyone who actually does what they feel like doing?

You're perfectly okay with corporations raping the planet, spewing toxins into the air and water, but you have a problem with two people who love each other making a legal commitment honoring that love? What planet are you from again?

You have no issue with sending our kids over to kill brown people of all ages and genders, but you feel you have the right to decide what someone else does with her own womb? Innocent kids only matter if someone else is breathing for them? After that, they're on their own?

What the HELL is wrong with you?

You call US unAmerican. Your pundits suggest not only putting us in jail, but even go so far as to suggest we should be killed. And WE'RE the ones who are UnAmerican? Do you folks even LISTEN to yourselves?

A President has sexual relations with a woman who isn't his wife. You do your best to throw him out of office. A President screws the whole country, and several others besides, and you cheer for him? You dig in the refuse heap to unearth excuses for his behavior?

And WE'RE unAmerican?

You want to kill us. We just want you to go away.

And WE'RE unAmerican?

So far we've been right through most of this administration's follies. And you've been wrong. Not only wrong, but insultingly, offensively, threateningly wrong. And you've never admitted it for a second.

Now tell us again. Who's unAmerican?

Go find a mirror, bub. Take a long, hard look and call us in the morning. You want to apologize, we'll be waiting.

Sincerely,

your liberal neighbor
