The Ignorance of Liberal New Yorkers: My experience with my sign from the Anti-Kerry Protest

After spending a long day protesting in New York City, I thought that I would share my experiences with fellow FREepers who unfortunately could not be there. I was thrilled with the turn out, and I was equally appalled with some of the comments I received from people when I was walking around with my Benedict Kerry sign. One woman told me how stupid my sign was and how stupid I was to carry it. Why am I stupid...because you don't want to face the facts that your precious John Kerry is a liar and a traitor? I had another man follow me around and tell me that Kerry did nothing wrong, because he was protesting America's police state...where do people come up with these things. I also had two young men try to taunt me, asking "What, you would rather vote for Bush"...which I promptly answered "Damn Right!" What amazes me is when they disagree with my message, they have to be so nasty about it.

Oh, and for those of you who want to know what I did...I smiled at them and laughed! I was not about to stoop down to their level, and when I tried to reason with Mr. Police State, he argued with me and told me that I was wrong..even though I had the facts to back up my sign.

Gotta love people!

[Mich0127]

Yeah, tell me about it!

[Mich0127]

Thanks...I hope you are able to protest..it is a blast! Good luck!

Thanks...Liberals mantra: Ignorance is Bliss

To quote a near and dear liberal professor who is also a close friend-I am not materialistic (after purchasing a 300 dollar pair of heels). I MEDIATATE about the higher good!

Yeah, can you define that! LOL

[Mich0127]

That was hilarious! Thanks for the tip!

[Mich0127]

I like that quote..rings true!

[Mich0127]

Thanks!

The scary part of this story is the realization that "Mr. Police State" would probably be delighted to see all of us conservatives in a prison - as soon as his liberal god is elected to govern those of us who are stupid and evil.

[Mich0127]

Absolutely...I deal with these brainiacs every day!

BTW..it was a pleasure meeting you at the rally!

[Mich0127]

That is scary and true

Sickening!

[Mich0127]

That was a great story...this was Freeport on Long Island, correct? I go to school close to there...next time there is something going on there, don't hesitate to FREep mail me...I will be happy to come with my sign!
Great story...I would be rolling on the floor..what did they think, you were going to go home and cry?!!

[Mich0127]

No, he obviously is failing as our commander in chief(note MY EXTREME SARCASM)

I wish we could duct tape the mouthes of libs...at least I wouldn't have to bang my head against the wall every day!

[Mich0127]

She is absolutely right...they hate when women, blacks, and hispanics are conservatives...it is like a slap in the face to them and they have to let us know how utterly dissapointed they are with us

Also, I think they feel like it is easier to bully a woman than a man. Wow, aren't they tough?

I notice that they rarely get up in the faces of guys, just girls.

They're no better than the PETA pukes who attack women wearing furs or leather. As it has been said here before, they never attack the Hell's Angels who wear leather. Guess the desire to become a saddlebag is overridden by the desire to keep eating tofu.

My sister-in-law the other week decided to goad me into a discussion on "gay marriage". She and my stepfather-in-law decided to gang up on me. I tried not to engage them, as it could be detrimental to family harmony.

It was fine until she started pushing and finally I just decided to let her have it with both barrels. She was jumping on how Gore won and Bush had been put in office by the Supreme Court. (Couldn't stay on a topic... Must keep pushing the conservative until he squashes.) So, finally, I came out swinging and she couldn't possibly keep logical footing. Every argument she tossed out there I slapped down because I have facts and logic on my side. She used nothing but emotion. Finally, I looked at her and said "If your side can get enough votes to get it through a legislature instead of forcing on us the will of the few over the will of the many, then I'll back you on it. I will still think it's wrong, but at that point, I will back down. But you don't have the votes. You can't get the votes, and you'll never be able to brainwash enough people to get the votes, no matter HOW many times you show 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.'" She looked at me and made sure she was quiet enough that nobody else in the house heard her. "I hope you and everyone like you die before you get to infect my son with your bigotry." I asked her how it felt to live in such a small place without a heart. Then I turned and walked away. There's no reasoning with her or other liberals.

Thank you

"You should have asked Mr. Police State if he didn't have a leetle twinge of conscience over Waco and the Elian thing. Betcha he doesn't."

I ain't touchin' that bet...MUD

I smiled at them and laughed! I was not about to stoop down to their level... - Good idea "never argue with idiots they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience"

Our system says that the burden of proof in a criminal case is on the government.

Jose Padilla is not being accused as a "criminal." He is being held as a combatant - part of the 'army' of terrorists who are sworn to maim and kill Americans in America. He was not just "met by the FBI" at O'Hare airport on a whim. His every movement from Pakistan to the US was under surveillance.

I bet you know all of this but just 'feel' good about your libertarian 'principles.'

What part of "war" do you not want to understand?
