I Must Be Doing Something Right

Nov 06, 2008 15:10

Today I got told if I don't like this country then I should move to Europe. I haven't heard that statement in thirty years. The last time I heard it I was in college and having a debate with student from the MidWest about the Viet Nam War and the draft. I guess my liberal socialist views are still as volatile as ever though I never thought that being opposed to war and the damage it does and wanted to help those who need assistance were that radical. But I guess in today's American climate it is considered un American.

When I responded to this remark, I was told I was being self-righteous, condescending and offensive. I thought I was too old for this. Why did I let myself get dragged into all this new political shit??
