So, I’m Not the Only One Who Thinks We Have a Shitkicker Problem?
I think the title says it all. We’ve all seen the HuffPo article regarding some recent comments which Senator Obama made recently. Now we can all sit around and meander about the intricacies of the ideas behind what was said, but what it boils down to is that someone has finally been honest enough to say what everybody with more than three upright generations has been thinking: We have a shitkicker problem.
Let me first say that I was born in Indiana and raised in Nevada. My parents are religious drones and my mother a proud member of the NRA. I know shitkickers and can tell you we have nothing to worry about. These people will never vote for a candidate whom does not oppose physical autonomy for women to begin with. Unless a political ad is disguised to look like an promo for barbeque sauce, they won’t respond to it. Unless Fox “News” is kissing his ass (male pronoun usage intentional), they will disregard anyone’s point of view.
The problem with this country is that we have too many people with a narrow mind which is typically stuffed into an ugly cowboy hat, atop a bloated atrocity of a torso, complete with crusty arteries. We need to stop coddling them, pretending that they’re the “heart of A-mur-ica” and realize that the only ones upon whom a forward-facing society stands are those whom can let go of their Iron Age belief systems and step into the light of honest inquiry.
On second reading, I wonder if maybe I’m talking about my parents. Heh, too bad I can’t afford health insurance, let alone a good shrink!
