In his wonderful book, I Can’t Believe I’m Sitting Next to a Republican: A Survival Guide for Conservatives Marooned Among the Angry, Smug, and Terminally Self-Righteous, former liberal Harry Stein sums it up:
. . . the sort of “diversity” where no one looks the same and no one ever thinks differently.
that kind of diversity is scary
I experienced this when Bish ran against Kerry. I was just becoming politically aware when Kerry told his lies to the Congress, and having lost friends in that war, have never forgiven. I was told by a supposed friend in California, now a published author, I could not be so stupid as to vote for Bush. He hasn’t spoken/written to me since that dinner. I am too stupid to be his friend. I lost another one when I called him on similar political stuff yet he didn’t realize who his senators were…
Yep, really diverse on that side.
If you haven’t checked out his previous book, “How I accidentally joined the vast right wing conspiracy (and found inner peace,” it’s definitely a good memoir of a man rethinking his politics.
His journey is of a guy who is raised and very left wing. He finds it harder and harder, though, as he matures and finds he doesn’t like giving away his personal property and rights to a government that seems to only make it harder for the harder working individuals who make better choices in life. Very humorous and fun to read.
Excellent definition of the Left’s concept of diversity.
I needed more summer reading.
This may be it.
I’ll have to read this book, since it’s my life story in many ways.
I have a lot of lib co-workers. I never bring up politics; they always do. I shout them down every time with facts and figures and they are growing quite scared and wary of me. It’s actually a lot of fun to verbally behead lefties.
It’s good to be respected and feared. It’s taken a lifetime to learn this. 😀
