Man with moderate political views ostracized

Oshkosh resident Scott Bollig has been effectively isolated from the people closest to him after expressing a political opinion consistent with his moderate beliefs.

The controversy began moments after Bollig, 36, indicated mild uncertainty about President Barack Obama’s budget proposal, causing a deep divide between his friends and family.

“I sure hope (Obama’s) plan works out, but I just don’t know,” Bollig reportedly said at approximately 10:42 a.m. Thursday. “I guess we’ll have to wait and see.”

Co-worker Mark Wilkinson immediately spread the word around their office about Bollig’s radical Socialist beliefs.

“I never pegged Scott as a liberal,” he said. “The government is taking over our lives, and (Bollig) has the nerve to not have a strong opinion? Wake up, man.”

Denise Marshal, with whom Bollig has met at a local coffee shop every Tuesday night for the past three years to listen to live music, was disgusted to hear about Bollig’s right-wing conservative views.

“I can’t believe Scott would support the same failed policies of the Bush administration,” she said. “We need change in this country, and he's just going to have to accept it.”

Marshal went on to assert that Bollig was “probably racist” and that he needed to admit that global warming is really happening.

Wilkinson, a self-proclaimed conservative, said he would continue to forward Bollig e-mails describing how Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal was really a massive failure until the issue is resolved.

“I wouldn’t say I’m a Democrat or a Republican,” Bollig said. “I pretty much vote for the person with the most realistic plan.”
