Why are coffeehouses over-run with DemocRATS?!?!? (Mod sets bongo aside, zots troll)

They were reading most of the same books when the beatniks started the whole coffeehouse thing back in the late Fifties.

Never forget that a beatnick is a man on the bottom looking down....

Maybe because their opposites frequented the bars...

Exactly what I was thinking. Franklin Street or possibly a hole-in-the-wall place on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh.

Greek owned diners.

I'll second that motion. The Greek diner in Herndon, VA (Amphora Diner) is absolutely top-notch.

Best Baklava anywhere.

The cops always used to hang out at the Starbucks I used to work at years ago. We never charged them for their drinks and regularly gave them a book of free coupons to take back to the station.

Coffee houses are government run?

[brothers4thID]

Who reads the Communist Manifesto for hours anyway? The thing is , what.. 100 pages max?

[Betis70]

>>Unngh they are the official coffee of Jihad.

Not the dreaded "Unnngh". I think that was the funniest thread I've read here on FR actually.

...and get to sit on stools.

Are there any conservative coffeehouses, where this ridicuolousness is not tolerated?

Yes. They are called diners. Coffee is half the price and the apple pie is great.

[ArrogantBustard]

Why does everybody think "W A F F L E H O U S E" is strictly a Southern thing? OHIO is full of them.

[Bella_Bru]

And then I ply you with a pumpkin spice latte. :-P

[headsonpikes]

If you can't take the bongos, stay out of the coffee-house!

[johnb838]

Go to Whole Foods and buy your own premium coffee if you want it. They roast it right on the spot.

I haven't been in a coffee house for over 40 years. OhMiGoodness, all those lovely Beatnik Chicks, but I will bet they all look like Hilary, now, so why should I set Myself up for a let down?

[russdawg]

why would any self respecting conservative go to carowhina anyway. If you would have said you were in class and saw this it wouldn't suprise me in the slightest. visit www.carolinasucks.com for reference.

First of all, Chapel Hill is a freakazoid town of aging hippies who discovered they can pull down $125,000 a year by teaching two classes. It's a great gig. They even have their own UNNCCH airlines for travel so they don't have to cross paths with the red residents. The usual periphery retail establishments crop up to cater to the faculty and students who immitate their professors, staffed by the ones who ran out of grant monies or couldn't hold a decent GPA. Think of Donald Sutherland in "Animal House"......N'uff said!

And I wear patchoulli! It covers up the stench of barn chores until I can get a shower.

These people are a joke and isolate themselves to keep it a private joke.

As for coffee houses being full of liberal pukes, it's the geography and demographics. Around me I have the bars filled with alchoholic liberal pukes. As for paying $3 for a cup of good espresso with some hot water, I have a stovetop espresso maker which costs $29. A milk foamer runs $10. I do go to the coffee joints to see some uncorral'd erectile hooter bobbers and free breathing nappy dugouts draped in batik printed see thru skirts. I do not go there to buy the coffee.

Not all trappings of hippie liberal pukes go unappreciated by this conservative.
