So I live near this guy Joe. Let’s just call him Joe the redneck. Joe the redneck voted for John McCain because he “F****** hates that n*****.” Joe the redneck understands that Bush was a bad president, but Joe the redneck is convinced that Obama, along with all democrats, are really just out to “take everybody’s guns.”

And you know what? I don’t really care about any of that. Granted I think he’s an ignorant and disrespectful idiot, but I don’t care that he voted for McCain. I don’t care why he did either.

It would have been fine if it had stopped with that, but it didn’t.

Now Joe the redneck can’t stand to hear the name of our 44th president. Now Joe the redneck feels he has to yell at the people on our block just because they (along with a clear majority of Americans) voted for Obama. Joe the redneck resorts to petty things like tipping over the Obama sign in my front yard (I’ve seen him do it) without having the balls to own up for it. Now Joe the redneck feels like it’s ok, at our friend’s going away party, to scream death threats and wishes to our 44th president and those that voted for him, the “n*****-lovers.” All because Obama is going to take away his guns.

Define irony - A man ready to shoot innocent people out of fear that his guns are going to be taken away.

Look, I understand frustration. I’ve had 8 years of it. I understand not being in the popular with the direction that America is going in, and I understand how you feel when your “rights” are threatened. I even understand being wary of gun control. That obviously though, is not what this is.

This is intolerance. This is hatred. This is bigotry. This is racism. Purely. And I will never understand, nor make excuses, for that. Joe the redneck, grow up. Obama is going to be your president for the next four years, possibly eight (especially 8 if this Palin 2012 shit comes true), so you might as well get used to hearing his name. I know you will whenever you’re around me.
