So should I be a cowardly, pacifistic, pathetic, cowering, piece of crap like you and run away rather than standing my ground when confronted by evil like this sales clerk? Thank God that I don't have to count on the likes of you to "have my back" when push comes to shove in this country. You're not just "Captain Compassion" - you're advice is to tuck tail and leave - more like a "Captain Cowardly".
My are you snippy. Is your default mode of argument ad hominem attack? In 71+ years including military service and 48 years of marriage I am very comfortable in my manhood. The store clerk you call “evil” is merely stupid and is not worthy of wasting my time on. The guy with the camera is not a hero but a bully. I equate him with those creeps who would ruin the meals of those with whom they politically disagree.
One thing that lurking and posting on FR for nearly 2 decades has taught me is that the more tradcon they are, the less trustworthy they are to have an ally's back. They will in fact turn their back to an ally in the culture wars because they ae narcissists that cant see past their own beliefs about "sinking to their level" or "bad language" or "conservative principles" about letting a private business do whatever they want regardless of the double standards because we can't "be like them".
No, I don't have a lot of faith, or any faith in tradcons or religious conservatives to fight culture wars at all.
