I don’t keep quiet - someone starts with the bashing around me, and I’m back at them. I won’t go quietly if it ever comes to that.
I’m with you. When libs get together in a herd they feel free to say any nasty things they want about conservatives thinking they will get only approving nods for their “cleverness”. The way I look at it, if I’m lucky maybe they’ll think twice before they open their mouths next time. If I’m really lucky maybe they’ll stop inviting me.
