If they are polite, be polite back.

If they insist on gloating, hand them a sealed envelope that says: “Open on November 5, 2011”

Inside the envelope should be a single sheet of paper with the following:


On November 5, 2008:

A gallon of gas cost $2.39
Connecticut electricity cost 11.9 cents per kWhr
There were no reports of electrical brownouts or blackout anywhere in the US in 2008.
Unemployment was at 6%
Inflation was at 4%

Israel was not at war
Iran was not at war
The Iraqi government was in full control of 13 of its 18 provinces
China was not at war
Russia was in the process of leaving Georgia

There was no draft. Military service was voluntary.

There had been no terrorist attacks on US soil for over 7 years.

The federal tax rate on families earning between $65K and $131K was 25%

Please circle one:
I am too stupid to vote: yes no

Well, I’ve already lost two longtime friends this morning. At least that’s the way I feel. When I get petty gloating that includes “McCain was gracious, but there was the ‘typical assholes’ supporters of his in the crowds”, that was the final straw.

NO MORE. No more will I just go on and be polite when they demean our country, our troops, and our country’s founding principles. No more.

I will not associate with those that support socialism, the phylosophy of envy and greed.

I will not associate with those that have nothing but disdain for our country and our military.

I will not condone the lies, fabrications and untruths politely as simple disagreements.

They need to understand there’s consequences. We will NOT just roll over an play along as our futures and our children’s futures are pillaged and our principles spat on.

NO MORE.
