You may ask who I am. I will tell you.

     

I am a survivor
I am a husband.
I am a father.
I am a grandfather.
I am a brother.
I am a brother-in-law
I am an uncle.
I am a great uncle.
I am a nephew.
I am a cousin.
I am a friend.
I am Mi’kmaq.
I am Canadian.
I am American.
I am French.
I am not Christian.
I was raised Jewish.
I am not religious.
I am spiritual.
If you hurt, I hurt.
I was stolen at birth.
I am transcultural
I am First Nation/French Canadian.
I am me, no better nor worse than you. 
I try to do good in this world not out of a fear of hell or promise of heaven, but because it feels better not to be an arsehole.

There was a time when the KKK wore hoods to hide their identity out of embarrassment. Today, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, stand up on a soap box for all to see. Do you really think our Constitutional and human rights are not at risk of extinction? If so, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. If you are not Evangelical or far right, today’s Republican Party does not represent you and does not even want you. You can still intellectually vote for a candidate who might not meet 100% of your criteria, but does believe in your Constitutional and human rights, as well as our democratic republic.

As far as I know, CPAC speakers are invited. They do not walk in off of the street. So, this tells me more than I want to know about today’s Evangelical Republicans. I can’t stop thinking about all those whom I considered friends, smiled to my face as if friends, but behind my back…
