These damn people annoy me so much-- I've heard all the slurs... I'm a homophobic, mysogonistic storm trooper, bent on throwing everybody's Grandmaw into a snow bank and starving The Children.
One of my neighbors is a black family-- nice folks, quiet, mind their own business, but they'll help you if you need a hand.
Then there's the gay couple we've lived next door to for 17 years- they're nice folks, too... not at all like the vainglorious, screechy drama queens you see on TV all the time.
Old Tom across the street liked to light up a joint after work ( health & age put a stop to that years ago... ) and sit on his porch with a beer... but since he never bothered me, I never bothered him about it. Who the Hell was he hurting, except maybe himself?
But... I'm the Nazi... I've learned to live with the stigma, and bluntly put, I don't care what the Left, the Media, the Hollywood crowd with so many dollars and so little sense ( cents! ) thinks of me anymore. Their opinion doesn't put gas in my oh! so! un-PC SUV's fuel tank, or bread on our table.
When they pay my bills, they can have a say in my life- until then, they can butt out.
