"Community Organizer"
Now, I generally don't listen to Republican speeches to be uplifted and inspired, but I don't usually expect to have my life choices mocked and denigrated.
I spent the two years between college and graduate school working for two different volunteer programs. I was, yes, one of those dreaded "community organizers". And I did all sorts of terrible stuff--like trying to help people have access to affordable nutritious food and working with kids in an alternative to make sure they didn't do things like...uh...drop out of school, take drugs, get pregnant or commit crime.
But that's just me--out there trying to tear down the world. As a "community organizer".
And honestly, when Bush wants to get rid of all of these government programs and give the money to faith-based organizations to pick up the slack, who does he think does that work?
Uh...
Community Organizers.
Damn. I think I need a t-shirt.
