Still the Land of Fruits and Nuts (by Burt Prelutsky)

As a former Californian who grew up around these kind of people, I can relate totally. That place was nuts, as well as the people it attracted.

From article: Two interesting things then took place. First my jaw hit the floor. Next, the writer who had been seated between us for the entire lunch turned to glower at me, and said, “You’re really a conservative?”

As soon as I admitted I was, he got up and walked away so quickly, you might have thought I’d acknowledged being a leper.

Yep, fairly typical, intolerant behavior by liberals. Been there, over and over and over again. What's really revealing is when family members treat you this way while they scream and natter about how YOU should be treating them with tolerance. And bosses and coworkers set you up so you can now be let go, fired, laid-off, and JUST because you are different-not-deficient from "themselves".
