Conservatively Ignorant!

By Bryian Revoner

This is a story abour a conservative man from the south who thought Barack Obama was a foreigner for all of the wrong, hickish reasons!

::::::::


I debated on whether or not I should even tell this story, but I decided to go through with it in hopes that I might be able to shed some light on exactly how conservative groups and false prophets are able to stay in business, so pay close attention to the logic in this scenario! And remember, this is a true story that came about based on some people I occasionally bump into around my area. President Obama is arguably the most hated president since Abraham Lincoln, and he is probably the most hated man since Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement!

Keeping that in mind, I'm at a local store somewhere in East Arkansas, which is my home territory. I was having a political discussion with a guy I knew named Dave and one of his buddies. It was August of 2008, and the presidential election campaigns were in full bloom. Dave and I were simply discussing the possibilities of Barack Obama being elected as president. Neither one of us thought he realistically had much of a chance, but we were entertaining the thought anyway. Dave's buddy begins to get angry at the mere possibility of Obama being elected and unleashes a train of thought that proved once and for all just how short his rails of logic truly were.

Dave's buddy then makes this statement, "I hate that Obama! How did he get into this country anyway? He's not even a real American! My pastor said he was a Haitian! They need to send his Black, Haitian ass back to Africa where he came from!" I then looked at this geographical genius and tried to explain to him that Barack Obama was from Hawaii and not Haiti or Africa! Dave's buddy replied back to me, "Good, then let them send his Black ass back over there, so he can screw up his own damn country!" I then tried to explain to this guy that Hawaii was a state in the United States! He then asked me, "Where the heck is Hawaii anyway? Is that in Florida? Anyway, Obama ain"t my president! He"s a Muslim and an atheist, and he"ll never convert me over to one!" At that point, I gave up my intellectual enlightenment quest, because I think I only confused the poor dude even further, but I did ask him one more question. I asked him why he hated Obama so badly. The angry, dolt looked at me and said, "He's a foreigner, and I never vote for foreign presidents. They just let anybody come over and run the country into the ground nowadays! I wish all of these damn foreigners would just stay out of this country and stop running for president! I just don"t understand why idiots over here like so much foreign leadership. Can"t they find an American president to vote for?"

Needless to say, I was at a loss for words. I had never had logic baffle me before, but this version of logic made my central nervous system go numb, so I had to write about it and share it with the world, because I have officially now heard it all, but Dave's buddy is not alone! There are many more where he came from, which means the Tea Party groups aren't going anywhere anytime soon! This is the face of conservatism here in Blanche Lincoln"s old district. Compared to these bozoes, She is the safe pick! I shudder to think who the conservatives around here would like to have as their representative, because this guy I just told you all about makes Sarah "The Palinator" Palin look normal!

P.S. I've been writing a lot of material, so I have decided to cut some of it away from my memoir! I hope somebody laughed at this to keep from crying!



Authors Bio:
Bryian "The Revoner" R. is an ex-gangsta rapper from the group Epitaph, who performed under the name "The Chauceriin." During his time in Wynne, Arkansas, where he grew up, Bryian was often criticized for being too White in school, because of his ability to write poetry. His fellow African-Americans were busy writing rap lyrics and garnering praise for it, but misunderstood Bryian was simply shunned for his poetic attempts. Reading the writing on the wall, Bryian began to refine his poetry into raps to gain acceptance, as he wrote raps for himself and other would-be rappers of the time. Bryian would go on to release two albums with the group Epitaph and two solo projects. Despite his lyrical ability and his strong poetic background, the strong majority of his rhymes fell on deaf ears blinded by a willing, conservative ignorance! With songs like "The Battle of Bryian R."; "The End Is Comin"; "Forsaken"; "Glimmer of Hope"; "The Wall"; and the rap/love ballad "I Wanna Be Free," one would think that the world would have embraced something new, but it was not to be.
Bryian received an Associate's Degree from East Arkansas Community College and a Bachelor's of Science Degree from Arkansas State University. He was in the group Gamma Beta Phi, and he was featured in Who's Who in American Junior Colleges. Bryian was featured the dirty south rap magazine called Murder Dog Magazine, which featured the south's most up and coming new talent, and Bryian was also featured on worldwide released compilation album called Now Here This! Volume 1 for a song he produced called "Epitaph(Acoustic) featuring Bret Walzer; Jimmy Martin Jr.; and the group Epitaph.
With his failed rap career now behind him, Bryian has begun focusing his attention on politics and the world around him. Bryian is an ex-journalism major; an ex-history major; and an English/literature minor! He has a nice following on Facebook, and he has created his own political party and written a book about it, but it has yet to be released. Bryian is liberal, Democratically independent; a moderate, somewhat libertarian; and absolutely an anti-conservative. Bryian considers himself to be a cross between 2Pac Skakur; Kurt Cobain; John Lennon; Rage Against the Machine; Public Enemy; N.W.A.; Dead Prez; Paris "The Black Panther"; Prince; Dr. Martin Luther King.; Malcolm X; Barack Obama; Outkast; Michael Jackson; Jessie Jackson Sr. and Jr; and Geoffrey Chaucer!
