I’m concerned about expressing my views at my workplace, because my supervisors are spiteful and filled with hatred for all conservatives; they have shown in the past that they’re willing to punish those who disagree with them. But when I’m out in the general population ;-) I make a lot of comments and rarely have a problem. It’s a question of choosing one’s statements carefully so as to provoke thought, garnering support for the conservative position and eroding the liberal perspective.

I sometimes allow liberals to conclude that I was an Obama supporter who has been disenchanted. For instance, when liberals are speaking about how tough the economy is, I might say, “Yeah, this isn’t exactly the change I was hoping for! I can’t believe the president chose Bernanke and Geithner to lead us out of this recession—these are the guys who didn’t see it coming, so why should we trust them? I wonder about the wisdom of choosing people like that . . . “ (shaking my head more in sorrow than in anger). Then I go on, inserting one gentle oblique criticism of Obama’s judgment after another into the conversation. After awhile you have the liberals completely confused and worried. Works like a charm. I feel like a saboteur.

I do that too. But today I flatly told a liberal at work

that 0bama is an evil SOB and those that fell for him are

dumbed down sheep with their heads up.... My final

statement was that if she wanted to be a slave to the

state, she was welcome to be one but those of us who value

and love our freedom, prosperity and security will fight

for those things. I think it made her at least think a

little. Very frustrating.
