I had an experience last night that almost makes me wish that Kerry would win. Last night I attended a meeting to volunteer for a health expo. I expect most attendees to be left leaning and anti-Bush. However, I was not prepared for what I encountered. I'm sitting there, a bit tired from work but in a really good mood. There's a guy up front talking about Bush,etc. and I'm ignoring him because it's a meeting. Then he starts really getting animated, talking loud with very anti-white rhetoric, very anti-Western rhetoric. I hold up my hand and ask him (very nicely) when is he going to be finished and help return control to the person running the meeting. A older gentleman mentions the crisis in Ethiopia, Sudan and how he travelled extensively in Africa.. and was about to mention Zimbabwe and the same idiot up front goes PROFITABLE FOR WHO? Then launches into a tirade against Western Civilization,etc. The self hating white idiot sitting next to him is AGREEING WITH HIM and the black lady sitting next to me is muttering that she didn't come here to get a lecture (from the man up front). I really couldn't keep my mouth shut anymore and said in a firm voice 'You're talking about this crap, and look how you're manipulating the conversation, what the hell do you know about Africa? That guy has been there, and you haven't'.
Well I thought he was going to leap over the chairs and strangle me. I wasn't going to sit there and allow him to continue to INSULT the United States of America by saying people struggling to come here are WRONG. I wasn't going to stand for the anti-white rhetoric, and someone HAD to stand up to this man. Ordinarily I would have walked out but volunteering means I get into this very expensive expo free and would mean a lot of business opportunities for me. I wasn't about to let this leftist wacko filth deprive me of the golden opportunities by walking out of the meeting. I sat there though as he continued to insult me to his other friends up front. Meanwhile, the older gentleman walked out of the room but not before he gave me a little wink and thumbs up hehehe.
I'm more convinced than ever that the liberal left is in league with the Al Queda operatives. I think these people would be really happy if another terrorist attack happened in this country. It's unbelievable that some people HATE this country so much. This guy was a Vietnam veteran too, and he made it sound as if it was the worst thing he ever did. Why are these liberals so IRRATIONAL? I get into debates here and real life with fellow conservatives and how is we are able to end up agreeing to disagree (if we do disagree) without someone looking like a rabid dog?
What are we going to do if Bush wins and these people get really violent? I've seen the reports of people breaking into republican offices,etc.
Thank you. It's been a while since I've read the writings of the great man that built this country. Patrick Henry's words are so very appropriate for these times. I have to forward that brief to a farmer friend of mine in Africa. He'd like that shot of inspiration.
Mmmmmm...Chocolate.
Otherwise now I go riding on the scooter, yoga, and wishing thinking about my own General Lee.
Is that you Daisy?
I've done the paintball thing, but it sure looks FUN.
Where else can a grown man get to dress up like a stormtrooper and shoot at teenagers, legally? :P
Seriously, My first time I played was with my best friend and his son in the back yard, and I was instantly hooked.
As my husband once said when a drunk walked up to him and told him, "I'm gonna beat YOU up!!" My husband replied very cooly and calmly, "YOU AND WHO ELSE?!!" The guy rethought his position. . .
CANSWER marchers litter wherever they go. They are belligerant and threaten people that don't share their opinion. They charge police lines. They want Saddam back in power (no joke - I've seen such a sign at a protest in front of Rummy's house in Dee Cee.).
There are enough mutants there to start a revolution. Of the Kristallnacht kind.
I hope he wins too, but each day I have a feeling of iminent doom. Don't you?
They paid for their timidity and delusion with their lives
If your friend is in South Africa or Zimbabwe, he needs to get out, any way he can, even if he leaves with just the shirt on his back
I hope he wins too, but each day I have a feeling of iminent doom. Don't you?
My aunt (mom's older sister) has been a Catholic missionary in Zimbabwe for going on 50 years. After all she's seen she ain't going anywhere, the kids need her now as much as ever.
Yes I do have that same feeling.
My advice for one of my friends was that if you aren't going to leave, be prepared for a fight. I said, 'Be honest. Tell me about the news in the Sudan. Look at how they're getting treated. Do you think most of the world will take your side? They won't and fighting alone without support is HARD. Just ask Ian Smith about that.'
God help us. I really mean that. You know what I've been thinking tonight? I have a few liberal friends who would call me the next day to laugh in my face. And you know what I'm prepared to do? Tell them off, in no uncertain terms, and be done with the friendship. I've never felt this way before. It truly is becoming a war out there.
Yes I've been jettisoning negative hostile people out of my life. I thought I could reason with them but I have no time for that. I don't care to get another stroke absorbing their negativity. It IS a war you're right!
Agreed, but for work like Kristallnacht you need muscle, hardcore, dedicated muscle who will do anything on command. The people I saw at that protest may have been have been foolish and misguided, but they weren't storm troopers.
Good to hear!
welll done.
W. IS going to win, and these people will not get really violent. Why? Because the vast majority of people will defend their lives and property with the use of deadly force.

thanks!
Kristallnacht was not a revolution. The Beerhall Putsch was and look how it ended... Hitler in jail, Goering shot in the groin (before this he was a svelt fighter pilot), etc.
I don't think anything like this is remotely likely, but I'd welcome a liberal / pinko / commie attempt to start a civil war with Bush in power. We'd be armed AND we'd have the law on our side for this one.
