I was living in Manhattan, at that time. I PROUDLY wore an American flag pin, and though a woman, I spat at those spitting on vets, yelled at them , and yes, gave them something to mull over later . I shocked them silly, by employing their own words ( slightly changed ) to insult and humiliate them. They thought that NO Conservative would EVER feel about them, as they felt about US; big mistake in their part ! It was funny, to see the reaction on their faces, to being told that THEY should be the ones " up against the wall ... " ! hehehehehe
Your reverse snobbery is just as bad ( if not worse , since you are a Conservative ) as their elitist snobery is. Please think about this, and try to see of what I am saying is true. Not ALL wealthy people are idiots / Liberals; just as not ALL poor / middle class people are noble , wise, and Conservative. Class warfare IS Marxist !
Reverse snobbery is an "in" joke in our family. My parents, who are alive and well in their 80's still kid around about it, but we really don't mean this seriously. You should hear my father rail about union negotiations (He, like I, cast our lot with management from day one heheh). I really don't carry an open chip on my shoulder about success/wealth/etc, it's just we have managed to perfect the "middle class" image in our family (Heck, I even own some bowling shirts, used to bowl with a league) over the years regardless of what our situation was. I've managed to do pretty well for my family and myself over the years, and am one confirmed capitalist (VBG).... I enjoyed your comments to no end about "standing em up against the wall". I have uttered the same statement many, many times...sometimes with more than a little seriousness in my comments..its a good thing that it wasn't in the PC climate we have today..... would have wound up on a lot of "persona non grata" lists.....
