Trevor at Will to Exist posted his list of the Top Ten Things People Don’t Like About Me.
I know that there are some things about me that even those who love me most hate. Without polling them, I think these are some of the things others probably hate most about me (judging by some of my ‘fan’ mail, anyway):
- I’m staunchly and judgmentally anti-drug. That includes pot. Apparently I’m a hypocrite, though, because my anti-drug stance doesn’t include alcohol or tobacco.
- I’m fiscally conservative, socially tolerant, and fiercely support strong defense, whether it be militarily at the national level, or pro-second amendment and Castle Doctrine at the personal level. Though I find abortion to a horrific act, I support a woman’s right to decide if and how long to remain pregnant. I fully support gay civil unions, but believe that marriage is between a man and a woman. I think welfare and government assistance programs are a waste of money and foster a class of lazy citizens.
- I drive fast and aggressive (but still use turn signals) —
stolenborrowed directly from Trevor’s list. - I’m confrontational.
- I’m not afraid to fight, and believe that every now-and-then a man needs to have his ass whipped.
- I am hardly ever politically correct. I won’t accept race, gender, age, religion, or political ideology as an excuse for stupidity. I’ll call a spade a spade every time.
- I think our tax system is little more than a wealth-redistribution scheme. Just because someone is poor, doesn’t mean that they are entitled to the wealth of those who have more.
- I’ve figured out that life is about enjoying the ride, and I live mine with oftentimes-reckless abandon.
- I unequivocally support the death penalty, and wish that it would be administered more quickly and more often.
- I’m jingoistic. As Annie put it so perfectly:
i believe in American exceptionalism. i don’t think America needs to be more humble. If my country has ever flipped anyone off in the past, that’s something i want to see more of. Look at the scoreboard. Was America “scratching its nose” with the middle finger when we saved the world from tyranny three times in one century? Like the song says, fuck yeah! Was it arrogance when our fifth president declared “hands off this hemisphere” to the superpowers of his day? Or when T.R. said “let’s build that fucking canal!” (paraphrasing). Or when Jack promised we’d walk on the moon within the decade? Sure it was. And so what?

UPDATE: Annie’s not the only young, blonde conservative woman who’s proud to be a jingoist.
Robbie,
I’m flattered that my Top Tens are making it into your blog.
I can’t agree with your anti-drug stance. I don’t use illegal drugs myself, but I just can’t stomach giving adults a list of drugs they can use with a doctor’s permission and then having another list that has been aribitrarily decided by the government of drugs that no one can use just because.
I don’t know if most people need a regular ass kicking, but one or two early on in life are certainly a good perspective enhancer.
I think gun ownership should be controlled and limited too, but not by government, because it does a terrible job of keeping guns out of the wrong hands. All responsible adults should learn to shoot a gun, clean it, and have it ready for use at a moment’s notice.
Who controls gun ownership if not the government?
Preston has a point. Who would control. Isn’t it a matter of state control now?
Robbie, you probably should drive more carefully.
Heh. I’m starting to, actually. I drove a Nissan 300Zx for nearly 14 years, and it was fun and easy to zoom around like i was on a Formula 1 circuit.
But now, I’m driving a big-box Land Rover. Not nearly the zip, and I have to be much more careful cornering (high center of gravity and all). Because I can’t be the fastest and most manuverable car on the road right now, I’ve become calmer and more of a ‘defensive driver’ .
And at your next DG tournament, try and remember about that motion sensor alarm of yours!
Hey Chris…yeah…that was bad. I’ll just live with the hot interior of the car and leave the windows up next time. Or just not set the alarm next time. Where I was parked for the third round on Sunday, my car was perfectly safe with the continual stream of disc golfers walking from 17 to 17A, 17B to 18, and 21 to 22.
I blame my car alarm for the 6 I took on #17, by the way.
I think YOU need to have your ass kicked. Your BS means SHIT you republican iggnorant fuck.
Do you really think a jet took down the towers? What about the building that was not Hit and was “smoking on one floor”? What bout the jet fuel not burning hot enough to melt any grade steel in that structure? Or how about the fact that even if it did melt steel how would it pancake down like a demolition? What about the video, footage, and interviews of people hearing explotions at the site and within the building? What about the fact that every piece of eveidence was witheld, not examined, and shipped across the atlantic? Where did all the concrete go? Would a collopase even from the highest point cause concrete to pulverize into a dust covering 4 city blocks in any direction? Lastly, this is the only steel structured building to collopase from a fire, in all of history. Several have burned for over 3 days until the fire was out, buildings not even as structually sound or advanced as the towers.
GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR. You are what makes this country the laughing stock of the world
Rosie? Is that you again?
You silly little truther. I’m surprised you have enough synapses to know to enough to breath on your own.
Nice site. I think I found my twin. Reading your top 10, I thought I was reading about me. I’ll be checking out the rest of your blog when I have time.
As to the question of who would control guns if not the government: I manage to control mine all by my lonesome just fine everyday. Gun control doesn’t need a large government backing. All it takes is an index finger and a little training…
Hello Sir—All along I’ve known you were there. There’s one in every town, every burg, village, in the country–everywhere, and I am proud. It’s my opinion that there are a lot more with your views about this country than those Lib traitor thinking socialists. I think that at least a 3rd who voted for the enemy, have changed their mind by now. We keep our country to ourselves; “We don’t smoke marajuana in Mascogie” (However you spell it). there is one exception: I had to read your statement 3 times to make sure I read it right–the abortion stance, and the welfare view–National Welfare is necessary for a lot of honest people; I think we would be 1/5 3rd world without a little financial help. But that’s OK. Unknowingly I have been looking for your site for 10 years–Bless you. My views on abortion come from a strong belief in God–to each his own, I guess. It was a pure pleasure to find your site. Dan Boone
Reading your “Top 10″ made me fall in love LOL where have you been all my life?
Okay… a white, male, ex US military grunt, sack of corn, apple pie, racist, sexist, republican, discriminatory, shyster, juvenile, university educated, pierced, smoking, alcohol swilling, hero…
Loser…
What a wonderful relief to read! I’m the owner of Blackjack the Dane/Mastiff cross you met in PetSmart recently (she was in LOVE with Angus). I always knew I like your wife – even without talking to her very much. Just Dane chit chat, but I sensed I would like her very much. And now I know I adore you! LOL. I wasn’t sure I’d ever meet anyone who thinks like me here in Austin!
Hey Virginia — thanks for stopping by my little spot on the Internet. I remember you and Blackjack — a miniature Angus (though I’m sure few would actually call Blackjack “miniature”).
There aren’t many of us no-nonsense, small-government, pro-military sorts here in Austin. So it’s always nice to find another kindred spirit.
