So this left-wing distraught 'earth' mother's idea of making peace is to throw out Hitler analogies regarding Bush voters.
This woman should move in-town to my neighborhood. She would be more comfortable surrounded my other angry hateful liberals
I agree that this "Bush-Hitler" analogy is terribly unfair and offensive, to say the least. And then they get angry when their patriotism is questioned!
As far as the greater point of the article is concerned, I have very few friends or family members who voted as I did, for Bush. We basically just agreed, without a lot of fanfare, not to discuss the subject. At work, there's more of a "balance" I think. I'm not really sure because I flatly refused to discuss my preference at all, and I didn't want to hear what other people thought. Rightly or wrongly, I just wanted to keep my advocacy in other places, not in the workplace. There's always enough to argue about there anyway!
You know, the thing is, women like this ask "WHY? Why would she vote for Bush?" But they don't make any real effort to FIND OUT why. They don't ask, or if they do, they don't listen to your response.
She voted for John Communist Kerry and has the gall to criticize somebody that voted for our nation's 1st Mexican POTUS?
RE: And I was just as shocked as my friend was. One of these mothers is a union member; the other is an earthy type who feeds her children only organic foods. I like both of them a lot. How could they have voted for a man whom I consider to be a dangerous ideologue, who is making a mess of our country and the world?
Who's the real ideologue? To me, someone who assumes that an organic food affeccionado, or a union member "must" be on the Left, is distorting things via their own ideology.
