OKLAHOMA CITY – 40-year-old Justin Mann, a dairy worker from Tuttle, Oklahoma has been accused of thinking for himself and not neatly falling into a stereotype.<\/p>\n
Friends report that Tuttle began acting odd when he espoused what they considered socialist viewpoints.<\/p>\n
“Well he said he was pretty sure Obama was a citizen first-off. I mean where’s the proof,” said an anonymous neighbor. “Then went off all half-cocked saying he thinks there is some pretty good evidence for climate change, even if he isn’t 100% sure yet. Well didn’t that just take the cake! He’s a nutball. I won’t have anything to do with him.”<\/p>\n
Initially local Democrats rallied to his side, but were soon confronted with disappointment.<\/p>\n
“At first we were like, right on Justin! But then he said some things in questionable taste,” said Judy Smith.<\/p>\n
Mann had told some of the Democrats trying to get him involved in party activities that he believed the government was mishandling health care reform.<\/p>\n
“Well that put us off, “said Smith. “No need to be a hater. But if that wasn’t enough, he didn’t think the government should help people pay off bad mortgages. Heartless! Plus he says we have to lower taxes to encourage high-achievers. Well that’s just nonsense. He’s obviously not a thinker.”<\/p>\n
Now Mann says he is left with no friends or allies. <\/p>\n
“Turns out thinking for yourself is not all it’s cracked up to be. I was much happier when I just blindly followed whatever reasoning was given out on radio and TV. I think I’ll go back to that,” said Mann. “I just hope the Communist Party has room for me. They seem to be the best at this sort of thing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
