Joe the redneck spouts off again
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.
I was at a holiday dinner last night for the Oddfellows/JayCees in Kansas City last night, and about three minutes into the evening, Pastor Tom made some comment to someone near me about our President-elect enlisting the Black Panthers for a civilian army. Apparently, in Pastor Tom’s already deluded mind, the Panthers are going to go door-to-door and take away all of our guns (and white women), and we’ll all live under “Black Martial Law”.
I guess the moral of the story is it’s not just your neighbor.
Oh, and for the record, I spent the next two and a half hours ridiculing that moron in front of 65 people.
It’s incredible isn’t it? Where is that justifiable in a person’s head? How do you get so skewed…. drives me crazy.
So, do you have an opinion on that?
Ha - the guy just apologized to me on the phone and said he didn’t remember saying any of those things… whatever.
That’s the kind of person I am scared of - irrational and filled with an unintelligent hatred. Nothing you can say will sway them to see the ignorance of their statements because they are blinded by their irrational thoughts.
But you know, more than fear, I pity him because he is of a small mind with no growth potential, no relevance, yet he has the ability to taint, to some degree, those who may be on the fence of indecision and uncertainty.
If you don’t stand for something - you fall for anything and their are a lot of people who live in indecision, standing for nothing and easily swayed because inside their own bodies they have not given sufficient thought on life issues.
I don’t truly understand it but I have seen and experienced it all my life.
There’s a Joe in every neighborhood. My Joe is worried about his guns as well. The guns he has stored in a crawl space collecting dust that he hasn’t touched in years.
Irrational and drunk most of the time, my Joe.
Now I voted for McCain but that’s a little extreme. LOL Obama hasn’t done anything yet. He was voted in and won legally and I’m going to give the guy a chance, it’s only fair. I wont be heard talking badly until he DOES something to merit. Crazy old Joe. But I agree with the other post that said there is one in every neighborhood. My old neighborhood had one of these, except it was a woman and she’d scream at all the kids in the neighborhood about one thing or another. lol

If only joe saw it as rationally as you do…
A great post! Palin will never get in. It would be a joke!
hence the reason I’m hoping the G.O.P. is dumb enough to do it. I think there’s a good chance I’m right.
what an annoying neighbor. I think it’s obnoxious for Obama haters to be all like, “This sucks” when they are the same ones who told Bush haters to support their president. It’s ridiculous.
And in response to your comment about Kerry Wood, at least he won’t be pitching against the Cubs in 2009, but it is still sad… GO CUBS! -kev http://gocubsgo.today.com
Huckabee 2012?
Guliani to run a better campaign?
Steve Colbert to run again in South Carolina…all these are better options for the GOP then Palin. Im sorry the lady really doesn’t have what it takes.
Here’s what I’m hoping for… GOP runs Palin in 2012, Americans wake up and realize that the dems and repubs aren’t the answer, and the libertarian party swears in the first third-party president since Teddy Roosevelt’s Bull Moose presidency.
I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said “You can keep your change, PALIN 2012″
you made him sound like he was more than a rambaling idiot.
that is talent.
