Grandma tells Barbra Streisand wanna-be "I'll stick this umbrella up your --- and open it!"
Posted on 03/27/2003 11:48:43 AM PST by PortugeeJoe
This is from a Army captain stationed in DC.
To nobody's surprise there were protestors today in DC, they attempted to disrupt the metro system and block the Key Bridge, a leading artery into DC from Northern Virginia.
I got hosed twice because I come in from NoVA on the metro and it is raining hard which makes traffic worse anyway...to the point -- I got off my train in Rosslyn because I had to use the bathroom. When I was getting back on the train there were protestors on the train platform handing out pamphlets on the evils of America. I politely declined to take one.
An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female protestor offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young protestor put her hand on the old woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft voice said, "Ma'am, don't you care about the children of Iraq?"
The old woman looked up at her and said, "Honey, my first husband died in France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I'll stick this umbrella up your ass and open it."
I'm glad to report that loud applause broke out among the onlookers and the young protestor was at a total loss for words.

Good for that little lady!!
She was probably "Rosie The Riveter" doing her bit at home, and probably had a Victory garden and a ration book.
God bless her!!

For those too young to know, "Rosie the Riveter" worked in the defense plants during WWII. There were patriotic songs about her doing her bit at home.
That little lady in the article reminded me of those brave women back then!

Its a shame that what these people say ........will be washed away by the timeless excuse... "I was young then" I think alot of us are thankful for that excuse.
