[Peace-discuss] open letter to former comrade dunn from the real working class

[bill]

Dear Robert,

During our acquaintence, I didn't realize that you had such a religious bent.  I can think of three reasons for being surprised by your recent message.

1. You never made your evangaelical leanings evident before you left town.

2. I wasn't paying attention.

3. Your tongue was buried deep in your cheek while you wrote.

4.  You've changed since you left.

However, while many Bush voters may be rather ignorant of his appalling record on almost every issue, I doubt if you have that excuse.  

Keep in mind that this message is written by a person who spends most of his time either destroying old concrete or pouring new concrete.  Someone who was raised on a farm and who was expected to work up to 16 hours a day as a child because I put my feet under the family table while getting less than the children of non-farmers who only did a little yard work.  Someone who's spare time is mostly devoted to working for the working class.  Someone who's spent most of his life with bigoted, war-mongering idiots.

If you are serious, you are out of tune with the working class people I work with.  We continually make fun of George W. and are astounded that over 59 million people could be either so ignorant or be such bigoted warmongers.  We are also really pissed off at conservative evangelicals for being election-throwing, blue nosed busybodies and we have better things to think about than same sex marriage.  We don't usually care about who screws who, but were tired of being screwed by self-righteous fools.  We also like to party and we go to bars much more often than we attend churches.

We work hard, we play hard, and we hate George W.

  Dear Progressives/Liberals/Leftists/Socialists/Communists/Anarchists

  I have a confession to make, I was one of those stupid racists, sexists, homophobic hillbillies who voted for George W. Bush. Guess what, the corporate media is right, the main reason why us retarded bigoted hicks is the word that you sophisticated Limousine Liberals will not utter, VALUES. They matter the most to us. You may not understand what values are because they may just be something that cant be deconstructed by some egg-headed post-modernist guru. Values are something that we poor people still have. We may not have that much material stuff but we have the assurance that we are not alone in this world and were created for a purpose. Sometimes the only thing we have left for us is a prayer. Oh, that notion sure pisses the left off, the fact that some people pray instead of protest. You see, George W. is like my father. But my father is a nobody who had a drinking problem. Bush may have had the same problem that my Dad did and quit drinking when he was born again. But hey, those who are born again are just a bunch of extremists hateful zealots. Gee, I missed the people in Klan outfits and branding swastikas at church last Sunday. Thanks for showing after November 2nd, 2004 that the left really does have contempt for people like my Dad and I who have been treated like shit by you for years. I really thought you guys cared for the working class person. Now, i see you just show contempt for us. Good luck trying to win again. Remember what happened to the Whig Party when the American People saw that they were too much of a snobbery party. It withered away into nothingness. The same thing could happen to the Democratic Party is it does not shape up. I am sorry, I had no other choice. I needed to send a message to leftists in this country that they need to wake up or wither away like the Whigs. I wanted there to be an anti-war party that did not alienate Christian Evangelicals, but there was none and I dont know if there will be one.
  Robert Dunn
