Yeah, it's been a while, but after all the shit that's been going on, I figured that it was time. Since no one seems to have the balls to say it, I figure that I will. Comment if you want. If I don't like what you said, I'll ignore you just like everyone has been ignoring me.
A Deplorable Speaks
William (Bill) English
By every definition of the
"Woke." I am now commonly classed as a Deplorable, which essentially
means that I am white, an old man who is a racist (I'm not really a racist)
that comes from a long line of slave traders, and a Nazi-Fascist. I supposedly
hate LGBQTS+ (or whatever the letters they are using these days). I eat meat,
fart, believe in secure borders, don't believe in AOC's New Green Deal, want to
have sex with AOC (not really. My wife would kill me, and despite being a
Deplorable, I have specific standards. One of which, I do not have cross
species relations.) I believe in the Constitution of the United States, God,
and mankind's inherent ability to be profoundly stupid yet at the same time
profoundly generous. However, being a Deplorable, I can't be canceled anymore
than I already am. This works in my favor since I am at that stage in my life
where I just don't care and don't want to be bothered by idiots.
Here you might ask; What's this
have to do with anything? Actually, it has everything to do with it.
Growing up, my heroes were such
people as John Wayne, Randolf Scot, Flash Gordon, the Phantom, and the Shadow.
Now my heroes are such things as Ben Gay, Absorbine Jr., Icey Hot, and whatever
pain medication the doctor is willing to prescribe to me to get through the day
with a modicum of normality.
I mention these facts because it
has a great deal to do with the person I truly am. I grew up during the
"Freedom Marches," Martin Luther King, Vietnam, draft-card buring,
student protests against anything and everything, (real) Social Injustice, and
most notably in the Southwestern part of the United States. Even today, the
Southwest is actually a culturally diverse region. Before it was fashionable,
the Spaniards had already come up from South America and explored Texas, New
Mexico, and Arizona. They also established colonies in California and Missions
along the Santa Fe Trail. While Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico were considered
slave states during the Civil War, there was and is a rich culture of free Black
Landowners, Hispanics, American Indians (I won't say Native Americans because I
believe that if you were born in America, you're a native) and, believe it or
not, Chinese (they came with the building of the railroads.) Was it, or is it
perfect?
Hell No! But you flatland
tourists came from back east and really screwed things up. Now it's the
"Woke" trying to ferment hatred and making the rest of us apologize
for stuff we had absolutely nothing to do with, and apologize for being a color
none of us had any control over. Shit! We're getting screwed at both ends! The
only good thing I see coming out of any of this is that the American Indians
Aren't being attacked anymore. They have finally figured out a way to get back
at the Europeans and "White Eyes who shafted them in the first place.
Casinos and tax-free tobacco. Take their money and watch them slowly and
painfully kill themselves. From an Indian's perspective, it doesn't get any
better than that.
Politically speaking, most of us
sit back and watch everyone, both Republicans and Democrats, defy the
Constitution of the United States and basically try to force us to pay for
their crap. I would point out here that those poor bastards who thought they
were going to Washington, D.C. to peacefully protest are still sitting in jail
cells in the most abhorrent conditions without even being charged with a crime.
If my memory serves me correctly, isn't that one of the specific complaints
outlined in the Declaration of Independence? Just for the record, not all of us
so-called Deplorables are Shit kickers that sit on the couch drinking beer and
watching NASCAR. Some of us actually read books and are even educated. Well,
sort of educated since the liberal geeks hadn't taken over the schools and
colleges when we were in school.
For the most part, the most
significant majority of us, the so-called Deplorables, are mainly concerned for
the safety and well-being of our families and loved ones. Oddly enough, this
includes such ridiculous things as being able to feed them, buying gas to get
to work, or to doctor appointments. We care about the economy, inflation, and a
government that intends to let radical factions turn America into a third-world
country. Many of us feel as if we are caught between a rock and a hard place. We
have a President who shows us daily that his brain is literally turning to mush
and runs the real possibility of dying in his sleep before the end of his term.
In which case, we will end up with a Vice-President that is so incompetent she
couldn't pour urine out of a boot with the instructions written on its heel.
So, to put it in a nutshell, we're screwed no matter what happens. Considering
what we've got, Who the hell is running the government anyway?
We know that a significant
faction within the House and the Senate absolutely hates America. How did that
happen? The most prominent faction, headed by AOC, consists of all women who,
by the very definition of the law and common sense, are of, at the very least,
questionable character. Representative Omar comes to mind here. Yes! We do keep
track of these things. My thought here is that it would be nice to be able to
elect an individual to Office who actually had the good of the people in mind
without trying to justify every stupid move they make and who has a brain
slightly larger than a cumquat. None of these morons (sorry morons) understand
that once they have been elected to Office by their state or district, they
represent those who voted them into an office and the entire nation. This is
only because America has grown over the past two hundred years. They fail to
understand what effect a law for one segment of the population has on the rest.
As for the Green New Deal. Do I
support it? Emphatically NO! Only because it will destroy America. Do I support
conservationism? Yes, but I take a practical approach to it. This country MUST
utilize both oil and nuclear power to supplement and strengthen our national
reserves and take the lead in providing sustainable energy to the rest of the
world. This doesn't mean that there is no place for Wind or Solar energy.
Still, at this point, either has not reached a point where we can just switch
over to them and expect to maintain our quality of life and help boost our
economy. Either one reminds me of what we used to build as kids with an
"Erector Set." Looks nice. A lot of fun building it. No practical
purpose. Using oil and nuclear, prices come down, the economy is strengthened,
and we have more time to perfect other energy sources. Also, quite frankly,
herding millions of people into specific living facilities smacks of population
control, communism, and socialism. All of which are red flags for almost all
Deplorables.
Okay, now back to the main topic,
"Woke." First of all, what is Woke? From my perspective, it is nothing
more than an attempt by the ultra-liberals to create hatred, change our
language, and change the way we think about those poor, abused individuals who
choose to be different. Let's take the LGBTQ+ community, for example. I
personally have no problem with these people. Why? Well, I have a half-sister
who is trans and a half-brother who is gay. I also have another half-sister who
I think the world of because she has accomplished many things. She doesn't talk
to me but hey! I wear the title of Family Black Sheep with pride. I also have a
full sister who happens to be a California Lawyer and a born-again Christian.
Sheesh! What a combination. In short, my family puts the fun in dysfunctional.
I don't hate these people, but I cannot understand why they choose to put
themselves through this kind of hell. Particularly the Transgendered. What
chaps my posterior about all of this is that they keep trying to jam it down
people's throats and are doing it so that it's really pissing people off.
Christ! Where is it right to try and convince a kindergartener they are the
opposite sex? And where is it right to give these children gender blockers
without the parents even knowing? If that's not abuse, I don't know what is.
I could go on and on about such
things as Defunding the Police, DA's that won't enforce the law, and turning
criminals back out onto the streets to commit more crimes and death because
they know there will be no consequences. California is imploding upon itself,
government control, COVID restrictions, and what's happened there?
This country is a mess, and we'd
better start doing something to fix it fast.
The Deplorable are starting to
get aggravated. Whether they want to believe it or not, the Democrats are on
their way out the door. For that matter, if they screw the pooch, so are the
Republicans. At this rate, a bunch of Blue Faced Baboons (sorry, Baboons) could
do a better job than any of them have been doing, and Mellon head in the White
House isn't making anything better. Shit! Never in the Office of the Presidency
has a President had to be surrounded by a squadron of caretakers to hide as
best they can that he's a blithering idiot. What does he do in the Oval Office?
Sit around playing Tittaly Winks and eat ice cream, occasionally signing a bill
or something put in front of him by some nut job? Let us not forget the
constant coaching he must get before he's trotted out to read the teleprompter.
For us Deplorables, we see what is happening to our country, and frankly, you
screwballs are fucking us over, and we're tired of it!
Let's talk about systemic racism
and white privilege.
First of all, I could care less
about a man's or woman's color. What I care about is how they treat me. Treat
me with respect, and I'll treat you with respect. Try and destroy what little I've
spent a lifetime building for my family, or try and hurt or kill me, and I'm
gonna have your balls. Martin Luther King spent a lifetime trying to keep the
radicals from taking over the Freedom movement. Now that he's gone, look at
what's happening. That man is spinning in his grave so fast that we could use
him as a power source. And as it turns out, the founders of Black Lives Matter
are no better than crooks, taking the donations they have been given to further
their cause and buying fancy homes, real estate, fancy cars, and whatever else
they want. They don't care about black people or people of color. That is
evident when they burn down black-owned businesses and then don't use the money
they've stolen to help rebuild those businesses. Yet all they seem concerned
with is defunding the police and destroying things so that they can steal more
and kill more people, all the while blaming it on systemic racism. Racism on
whose part? Thiers or us? I noticed that racism didn't really start to be an
issue until Obama became President. Man! What a lesson in self-abuse that
turned out to be.
White Privilege? Well, yes, I
look white. As far as privilege is concerned, I'm seventy years old, have one
leg, no testicles (I picked up a rather nasty infection while traveling
overseas), live in a trailer in the middle of the desert, have a wife who
suffers from extreme mental illness, and between the two of us make less than
$13,000.00 per year. That doesn't account for the one-quarter "White
Mountain Apache and Cherokee that I have in me from my mother's father. The
difference between Wampum Warren and me is that I've never tried to lie about
it or use the fact for my personal gain. It is what it is. So show me where
it's a privilege to be white or any other color.
I will say this much. As both
Americans and Human-beings, we must follow specific rules to survive as a
civilization. Originally Jews and Christians called them the Ten Commandments,
and they went something like this;
1. I am the Lord your God: you shall
not have strange gods before me.
2. You shall not take the name of
the Lord your God in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Lord's
Day.
4. Honor your father and your
mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false
witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your
neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet your
neighbor's goods.
Yeah, okay, too much religion,
but even if you remove the first three of the listed commandments, the rest
make reasonably good sense. Then, if you think about it, the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution of the United States take it even further by
clarifying freedom and what needs to be done to achieve it. This method has worked
relatively well for the past Two hundred forty-six years.
Okay, now you're giving me the
old statistic that no Republic has traditionally lasted over two hundred years.
Just between us, those guys are nuts anyway. Take Rome, for example.
One thing that everyone needs to
understand and accept. America was not and never will be whatever your idea of
perfect is. Since our nation's establishment, we have been a product of the
times. Yes, we had slavery. At that time, all of the nations of the earth had slavery
in one form or another, including England. Although they are called by a
different names. Even today, some countries practice human trafficking or
slavery, if you will. And there is social injustice everywhere. The difference
between America and them is that we have actively tried to resolve the issues
as they arrive or are recognized. No! America is not perfect. We suffer from
all of the problems in humankind, and we recognize that fact. We cannot undo
history, but we can learn from it and make changes for the better. What we
don't need is a bunch of little assholes running around trying to destroy what
hard-working people, black, white, Latino, Arabic, etc . . . have tried to
build for themselves and their families, or made to hate who and what they are.
Strangely, aside from the
domestic terrorist that are out in the streets destroying everything, it seems
that all of the "Woke," who are trying to cancel everyone, are the
ones who can actually afford to play this little game. You're paying for private
security, WTF! When you have the money and can pay for private security, you
can scream about defunding the police and fairness to criminals without
worrying about the rest of us and call us all the names you want.
For the love of whatever entity
you worship, get some common sense and real life!
