I just got off the phone with my brother-in-law, the asshole, and currently so pissed, that I decided to write a diary to let off some steam.
First, my brother-in-law, the asshole, is your atypical Bush supporter. He is a suburban middle-aged white male, born again, SUV driving, bigot. He believes that bombing other countries is sound foreign policy. He believes that excluding those that are different from him is okay - equal protection is only for white hetrosexual people. He believes that the government has no right to tax him, even though he wants government to tell other people want to do. Your typical Bush Supporter - no, his name is not Alito.
Well, my brother-in-law, the asshole, decided to call me of all people. Why? Because he wanted to blame me, liberal old me, for his 19-year-old daughter getting knocked up. Even though I have not seen my niece in 6 years and have not been within 500 miles of her, it is me, liberal old me, that caused her to get knocked up.
"The morals of this country has been destroyed by your liberal friends, that is why Barb let herself get pregnant," stated the asshole.
"Really?" I retorted. "Even though you sent her to that Church school for 12 years and limited her dating and then sent her off to that 'Christian' university. It is still society's fault that she spread her legs for a guy?"
"Yes it is!"
What kind of f*cking logic is this?!?! Then I remembered - Bush Supporter - logic does not apply.
This is the same man that I argued with when my gay brother was fighting for his right to marry his partner of 5 years. "Those fags are ruining marriage!" This from a man that was divorced from his daughter's mother after he was caught banging a 20-year-old office assistant in his office by his former wife. Then a year later was caught by that then 21-year-old office assistant, that he got engaged to, banging a new 22-year-old office assistant IN THE SAME OFFICE!!! Yeah, Asshole, those fags are destoying traditional marriage.
This is also the same man that last Christmas drew my name in the family gift exchange. He did not buy me anything, because "Aaron is not a Christian and is going straight to hell anyway, so why should I buy a gift for him." It is true, I am not a Christian, I'm an Agnostic Buddhist Jew. But even if St. Peter is at the door, I think I have a better chance of getting in than this asshole. (My mother-in-law was so upset, she gave me $200 cash - I gave it to the local food bank in her name)
So back to my niece - the pregnant one. What is the asshole's solution to the problem? Welcome her back home to help her in this time of need? No, he has told her to give the baby up for adoption or be banished from his Will. Compassionate Conservative at his best. I don't know if this is because her boyfriend was Latino (remember Racist also) or if he is that big of an ASSHOLE.
