APRIL 5th will now henceforward be a day in infamy for my son and I.

While flying to New York, we were seated next to a "writer" who was doing a 2 year research study on our governments lack of encouragement to Mao Tse Tung, and his band of thugs.

She attempted to regale my son Taylor with interesting perspectives on our country's history, such as how the Alamo is really an old movie set, how we really didn't hold off Santa Ana's army to the last man, and better yet, that we should ask Mexico if we really want the true story!

He told her that he thought it would be better if we asked Texans whose families lived there at that time.

After hearing this, I suggested to her that it must be hard to keep a coherent string of thoughts together after doing all of that LSD in the 60's.

In a very condescending manner this "writer" told me she went to Cornell and never took LSD. I replied mildly, "ohh, so you preferred mushrooms then...."

She then went on to tell me how it was people like me who were bringing America to its knees.

I asked how? By my working hard, or selling only products made in the USA, or maybe it the Boy Scouts leadership position that I use to warp young males minds into thinking it is good to love God, your country, and your family?

She said that it was because I thought America was better than everyone else.

At that point, I became certain that she DID take a lot of LSD and mushrooms while in college....(Later, my son asked about LSD, I told him it was a drug that made you see things that weren't really there. His reply was, (and I quote,) Did the people on the news take a lot of LSD too?

Out of the mouths of babes....

After this exchange between the writer and I, I told her I thought it was good that FDR ignored China at that time because if we had helped them to become more capitalist, we would likely be working for Chinese employers by this time. I further said that the longer it takes for China to move into a market based system of Government, the better it is for America.

After hearing this, I thought she was either having a stroke or a hot flash from the color of her face.

I then told her that America is lucky to have a president with testicles that are used for something other than teasing interns with and that on 9/11, America found out who her friends really were.

She stopped talking.

I went to sleep,

My son played his gameboy.

"She said that it was because I thought America was better than everyone else."

So? Isnt it? :-)

I asked a bunch of leftists when challenged with a list of horribles about america, "okay, name a country that is better".

They were left stunned and speechless. they couldnt think a sinlge country better than USA.

This writer might have had a better retort, but it will quickly get the shoe on the other foot ... "oh, so you think sweden is great, did you know the middle class there have lower income levels than blacks in america?" etc.

It is times like that I wish I could Morph into Dr. Alan Keyes!

At least you weren't sitting next to a Lib that tried to explain the evils of discrimination towards having two mommies.

Your son would have been safer sitting next to a whore from the Ranch. Compared to the lefties and their warped ideologies a whore would have had more class IMO. They don't go around trying to convert others.

This situation you describe has all the trappings of a great short film. It's a pity there was no-one available to get it on video. It'd have been great comedy to see that Leftist put in her place! Nicely done! : )

I carry a taser in anticipation of a situation like the one that you described. It's my dream to have a "fruit encounter" in which I zap the babbling fruit, put them in a "God Bless America" t-shirt, and then sit back and watch them choke on their own tongue.

I also make my wife wear a plethora of animal skins to the mall in an effort to try to get some PETA nut to get within choking distance - but that's another subject.

Good post.

"She said that it was because I thought America was better than everyone else."

Then why has the immigration to this country been so one sided for over 200 years? We have to build fences to keep people out while here beloved commie hell holes have to put up barbed wire to keep people imprisoned.

Hopefully, you just said this to upset her, and don't actually believe anything so inhumane, unpatriotic and short-sighted?

Other than that, you did good.

May I ask how old your son is? I suspect he's a few years more mature than your seat-mate.
