Hicks in the sticks...a surreal experience yesterday
   
So I took the kids and headed out yesterday for a 'discovery tour'...up Hwy 88 in the high country of the sierras (near Markleeville)for thhose who know the region, Blue Lakes road was our destination.

This is the high point of family camping season, but there were still not as many people as one would expect to see. so we headed off the beaten path and found a coll dirt road to explore, i knew there was a high lake and some campsites up there so I thought we'd have a nice little adventure... well at one point the road was covered in water so i had to back up and figure out how to turn around...

there was this big silver truck that showed up behind me, typical weekend warrior city slicker type, with the motorcross bikes in the back..

so he backs up and waits for me to get turned around, i smiled and said "thanks!"

his response "Obama SUCKS!" (guess he saw my stickers, huh?)

:wtf:

so we go back up to the main road and head to the next lake area to poke around, this one is paved and more 'populated'
again, no real place to go, so i end up in a parking lot turning around again
...and theres a clutch of older folks on their motorcycles watching us... they begin to laugh loudly and talk MORE OBAMA SMACK... I have my window down, i can hear them chuckling to themselves and saying 'ya, those Obama lovers ain't so smart'

I kid you not.

we managed to find ourselves a nice stream to play in, but the two human interactions out there really disturbed me... what the **** is going on?

Well, perhaps they, like the majority of the country...even a good portion of those who voted for them realize what you obviously are too blind and stupid to see. The man is an incompetent, ideological boob living large on the people's dime. Rest assured, DUmmie, he WILL be stopped because the vast majority of Americans actually love their country and see nothing to apologize for.

No matter how much you say stupid stuff like that it will never be true.  Most of the folks I ride with are professionals.

This just might be true.  I know I point and laugh at the very few cars with Obama stickers on them.

8. "Us vs. them" mentality
   
Political discourse--or what passes for it these days--has been reduced to the same vapid trash-talking "your side sux" mentality once reserved for mocking an opposing sports team. Facts don't matter; nuances don't matter. If you're the other side, "you suck." Deep, huh? :eyes:

I blame Fox Nooz. It started with the character-assassination takedown of Clinton, and when they found out it worked so well, they kept at it. I also blame the ig'nant in this country for allowing themselves to be brainwashed by said infotainment.

And the divide just gets wider.

 :lmao: :lmao:

So much irony in that one post.

Somebody with search privileges should go over there and pull down a handful of the posts where they screamed at folks with 'W' stickers ... and other vile things.

I would love to have some links to them.

Dirtdumb?   Owning a pick up and a stable full of motocross bikes costs a pretty penny.  Stupid people do not earn that kind of money.  May not have a degree in womans studies or philosophy, but they may own their own business, get there at the crack of dawn and stay still the sun goes down.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.
