"LONG IGNORANT JOURNEY OF THE PAST."
(Only the so called liberals matter)
A: Why must you call the journey ignorant?
B: Why ? he asks me...
A: Yes, why?
B: Because of my ignorance
A: Ignorance of what?
B: Are you alright?
A: Alright?
B: Yes, alright.
A: Is ignorance an illness?
B: Who said that it is?
A: The way you seem so surprised
B: Yes, it's kind of surprising that you would call your journey ignorant
instead of calling yourself ignorant...
B: it's the same thing
A: No, it's not. You could have said, "Oh! how ignorant I was when I took the journey.
B: IF YOU ARE IGNORANT ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS YOUR JOURNEY CAN BE
CONSIDERED IGNORANT.
A: I don't agree
B: You don't have to agree. Why must I always agree with your damn agreements?
A: It's not a damn agreement, it's the grammar. Your grammar is shot.
B: My grammar is shot? Who shot it? Republicans? it must be since you blame everything
on Republicans.
A: You told me you don't want to get into politics any more.
B: First of all I was never in Politics at all
(A interupts)
A: Oh! really? You were never involved in politics? , ha,
B: That's exactly the cause of my ignorant journey...this bullshit of two parties
and I ended up in NYC, the party of liberals, your party and it was my party as well...
After years of suffering and torturing myself and being confused, how come the liberals weren't
paying any attention to the issues important to me? Then after decades I fucking understood that
thats how it works here...and the moment I realized the truth, my truth as I believe it was a waste...
waste, total waste of belonging to any party, any politics, any agenda, any cause...and I regreted
ignorance and I was shocked about it because Before I got here I considered myself highly intelligent
educated, cultural, social, Humanist ect, ect but hell no, nothing mattered...nothing...and one day I
got it...i got it that I took a long ignorant journey to a far off foreign land having a different kind of
thinking about it's democracy, it's politics, it's liberation.
Beside being liberal, the democratic party have other issues with lots of other things and people, the
people who are not politically correct for them and for them they are as conservative or even more
conservative than the pary, the Republican party you hate. And I am sick and tired of you questioning
me, criticising my opinions, correcting me as if your party's opinion is the only fucking opinion that
matters. I am tired of this interogation of the members of the liberal establishment...I am not under
prosecution ad you are not the prosecutor. Let me be. Ok? Let me breath, Ok? Is that Ok with you if I
breath? Man! This shit stinks. And yes, It was a long ignorant journey, es, very long, very very long...
AM I RELEASED NOW? RELEASED FROM THE PRISON OF LIBERAL OPINION?
LIBERAL? MY BUTT.
