Perhaps you've often read, seen, or heard something outrageous from the right, and thought to yourself that if anyone on the left said or wrote the exact same thing, an inevitable shit-storm would explode. Perhaps you've noticed that the things the left-wing says/does that infuriate the right-wing go ignored with a yawn when said/committed by one of their own. Perhaps you've wondered why the right-wing not only employs the double-standard, but seems to make that their only standard. And perhaps you've wondered why the hell this is. There can be only one explanation...
The left-wing in America belongs to a lower caste.
(more on the flip)
We are untouchables. We are the 3 P's: plebeians, proletariat, peasants.
We are, as viewed by the right, second class citizens.
We are not entitled to the same privileges that they are. We are not entitled to define what is or isn't American. We are not entitled to office, as they are. Our very presumption at equality is, indeed, an insult to their entitlement. This is their country, not ours. They are the patriots, and we are the traitors -- and no manner of facts, truth, or evidence will ever change any of that in their minds. They Own Us.
But, fortunately for those of us who choose to do so, there is a way OUT of second class citizenship. It is simple. First, forget whatever petty ideals and opinions you may have developed over the years, and accept those that are dictated to you by as many right-wing media outlets that you can find (and forget your silly facts and evidence while you're at it). Next, re-register to vote as a member of the republican party. And finally, donate as much money as you can to the RNC. Donate enough, and you just might get your picture taken with the President. Wouldn't that be great?
Then you can lie with impunity, and because you are now a first class citizen, it is no longer lying (it's mis-speaking). You can be as corrupt as you want to be, and you will be defended and admired by your mutual first-class citizens. You can be completely and totally incompetent, and you will probably be in line for a promotion.
But best of all, you can live your entire life by the first class citizens' modus operandi -- the wonderful double standard. For example, you can commit adultery, and then hold second-class citizen adulterers in contempt -- and that's just the beginning. From morals, to economics, to matters of life and death, and even to war, you will always be right, no matter how wrong you actually turn out to be. Now that's entitlement! You can, in fact, do no wrong. The word wrong simply doesn't apply to first class citizens. And when things do go wrong, which they inevitably will, not only will it not be your fault, but you will always have the lower caste around to blame for everything.
So what are we all waiting for? Aren't you tired of being a second class citizen? Join the republican party today, and you'll never be bothered with silly things such as facts or reality again.
