Morning Folks,
Sunny start, and still relatively warm in the Pinetree State.
Thanks for the thread AB
Morning AB, All,
As always, thank you AB for doing this thread. Let me take this moment to wish you and all commenters on this thread a Happy Thanksgiving, Bless you and your family.
I;m a bit bummed out today. For last night, the Bishop came and this always is excitement. He came to bless the renovations on our church for Catholics, Bless them all, will bless anything standing still. Or anything moving, for that matter. One of my fave Catholic events down here in the swamps of Delaware is what they call the blessing of the Bay. Hand to God, they all go up by the seashore and the priests puts holy water into the Bay. I must smile. For God made the Bay, right?
Our choir sang and there was a reception in the Parish Life Center After. I chanced to see a fellow that I knew in the Finance Council so I asked how he was doing, how were the cataracts of my last memory of him? He told me a story about the retina detaching from something in his eye which made me gasp but it’s nothing, really, he said, you get used to spots in front of your eyeballs.
The conversation continues and I discover he was once a councilman up in NewCastle county, he’s a dug-in Democrat, and as these things go so they went.
“Who do you think’s going to win that awful GOP primary,” he said, “not Cain, surely not Cain. Wonder when the other shoe’s going to drop on him.”
I did defend Cain, asking how on earth this man only harrassed women in one city out of all in which he lived.
I also said the obvious, that Obama was going to get beat like a rented mule. “So you don’t want health care?” he said.
Heh. I launched into a rant that the crap that Democratic congress pulled on the American people was hardly any kind of health care system that anybody likes or wants, was he nuts out touting that as some kind of achievement?
Well this fellow, a handsome guy who did quite enjoy conversing with me I say with no modesty because a)well come on, I’ve been known to conjugate a verb with a noun and I do, ahem, know politics, and b)again with no modesty and I am no spring chicken, but I looked quite good last night what with the Bishop and my hair and face made up, wearing a fetching outfit of a black skirt, white blouse, a black jacket and a red festive type vest with decorative black scroll that even my husband remarked on how good I look. Heh.
So it went on for an hour but you know, I come home sort of despondent. It’s a bummer speaking to people like this because I admit, FreeRepublic, hell even living in Sussex county (where this fellow does live now and he’s taking chances talking like this)tends to insulate one from those who either willingly, or in this case of this man who is no dummy, with choice, do not have a clue. In fact, in due course a few people floated over and joined the conversation as it is an election year and this IS Sussex county.
Innocent flirtation notwithstanding, it bothers me. “The only guy you have worthwhile,” he says, stopping to ponder but I knew what he would soon say, “maybe Romney, but he’s a flip-flopper”. Heh, even the libs call Romney a flip flopper. “Or maybe,” he continues to my artfully made-up rolling eyes, “Huntsman.”
Insert guffaw here.
There was lots more to this conversation but believe that I knew more than him. This is a fellow who, I suspect, was used to talking down his debaters but this was ME who he was taking on. I also suspect he wanted to keep me at his side as I looked very nice, insert wink here.
Anyway, it bums me. In my FreeRepublic, Sussex county insular world, at times I lose perspective. These people are out there, ladies and gems, and they are perfectly happy to vote to destroy our country.
This gentleman was once a bigwig in a union so there you have it.
I’m done...moving on. Don’t want to bum y’all out too much.
Thanks for thread AB. Just got home. Looks like the Tide is back in the BCS title hunt. Wo-wa Eagle!
