IN ANSWER TO ARE YOU FOR REAL?


Yes I am for real
I was born and raised in the United States
I have a birth certificate and college records
I served my country in two branches of service
Washington National Guard Army while still in
High school and then joined the Air Force
I was schooled in third as a Navy Marine medic
At night in Korea I was the emergency room
I raise my children as Christians
I believe in God we trust
I am not prejudiced against any race
I have family of mixed races and am proud
That my friends are black, Latino and proud Americans
Someone once asked yeah but have you had a black at
your house for dinner?" Really they are in my Christmas
family dinner photos and we share washing dishes
So I ask Are you for real?
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman
This might be the way to cure aids--you think?
But I don't care what you do in private
I just don't want my children seeing it in public
I don't believe in legalized drugs
Course I don't believe in texting while driving either.
Both are leading causes of accidents and death
I think handicap parking is not for fat people
and those who stole them from a handicapped person
If I was offered five million for a birth certificate
and I am not a fan of celebrity blowhards
But I would have five million to help those
suffering in the East from that Hurricane Sandy
I also play basketball but not when a disaster if going on
