...The 20-something-year-old receptionist, who was signing me in, then narrowed her eyes, and the volcano erupted. She tore into an emotional, convoluted, fact-challenged barrage against the president. He lied us into the war, and too many of our soldiers are dying. He's incompetent. He sent young men and women to die for oil and for Halliburton...

I work with a “woman” who called Pres. Bush a “f-—ing murderer” I didn’t bother to argue. Wouldn’t have done any good.

These fools in Mr. Elders doctors office are getting this propaganda from the Drive-By Media, Leftist Academia and Left-wing Politicians.

The consistent slant, lies, misinformation and distortions from the Main-Stream Media will be the death of this great Republic yet.

My 73 year old mother responds with “My son is an officer in the US Army and is at Cent-Com. Out of respect for him and his position I do not discuss the military or the war especially with people who most likely get their “facts” from places like CNN.” She says it shuts them up really quickly. She had a terrible experince last Fall with an oriental rug dealer who left her in tears. Since then she has come up with this response and she szays it works.

I had to listen to a similar rant during a mammogram.

I did wait until my body was out of the vice like device before I had a discussion with tech.

I simply said that "There were are lot of bad folks over in Iraq for our troops to deal with". Her retort was that her "My house was broken into last week, we have bad people here too". My finishing statement was "I notice they didn't lob off your head, like most of the bad people in Iraq have a habit of doing".

I'm sick of idiots sharing their unsolicited opinions about my son's deployment.

“I would have said”
Work dynamics. Gotta watch what you say, even to someone using the “f” word.

At the public library I caught one of the clerks stamping the library’s property stamp across any Republican’s face who happens to be on the cover of a magazine.

I “called” her on it...and let her know she was defacing public property and infliting her opinion where it doesn’t belong.

The worst thing you can say to a person in the Bay Area is:

“How long until your IO loan resets?”
