Anyone else who lives in an area red as a baboon's arse have the
experience of being in a group and some people apparently assume that
because the area is so damn right-wing, that EVERYBODY there is right-wing
and thinks the way they do?

1. Oh, yes.
Only thing worse is being in a large group of religious fundamentalists. It's like being in a Twilight Zone episode where you start questioning reality.

4. All.The.Time
The worst is when I have to listen to people hurt by the Bush Recession gripe about their situation, and then BLAME DEMOCRATS!
It's gotten to the point that I avoid social interactions with anyone but those I know well and know are sane.
*sigh*

6. I know the area...
I've stood in line at the grocery store behind the white folks spending their food stamps and complaining about how minorities are nothing more than lazy people living off the government teat.
I've been to the party filled with right-wing gun nutz getting high off huffing gas fumes, smoking meth and they complain that our cities are nothing more than urban blight filled with minorities high on crack.
There's a reason I don't live in rural Pennsylvania anymore - I'm tired of being surrounded by people with a warped sense of reality.
That's why I'm happy living in the city.

7. Oh hell yes!
Based on my appearance ( I guess I sorta look and dress mostly like Hank Hill from 'King of the Hill' except with longer hair and without classes ) and some of my interests/hobbies, I could tell lots of conservative acquaintances assume I'm one of them. They broach politics without the slightest notion of feeling me out and launch right into racist bullshit or other libertarian/rightist muck without any hesitation when they first talk to me.

19. All we have to say is, "I'm from Texas."
That usually suffices as an explanation.
Maybe we can elect Wendy and change all that!
Yeah. Sure. :rotf:

It is not as bad here in AZ as it was in SW MO!
Yeah. We don't take too kindly to illiterate, fat slobs around here.

15. absolutely!
speak up - I always assume they need a reminder.
People have lost their manners. They know there are people who do not think as they do but they like to bully.

27. Yes. That's why I don't go to any groups and have no friends.
One guy in a shop (the clerk) in Oklahoma was bragging about his grandson being in the military.
The kid was supposed to go up on stage for a ceremony for some military honor with President Clinton.
The grandson refused to go on stage, disrespecting the Commander in Chief, and this guy said he was proud of his grandson "because Clinton wasn't a Godly man."
I was thoroughly disgusted and so was hubby. I guess I should have asked him had he ever heard of "Judge not lest ye be judged." All these assholes who try to argue the bible with me never read it. All they know is what some ignorant preacher tells them, which is basically to pray their asses off and have faith, regardless of reality.

22. I was in a furniture store the other day
where I have been a regular customer. We are doing some extensive remodeling and redecorating here, after thirty-five years in the same house. We can afford it at last!
A man came in the store and interrupted my conversation with the owner. I was buying window coverings (not cheap). He was just visiting, not purchasing, like me. He said, "This neighborhood is really deteriorating, isn't it?"
I said, "If you are referring to my bumper stickers, I will defend my positions."
He said, "No, no," and left.
Not long ago, I was at a dinner with a group of people who were my husband's former classmates. One of them remarked, portentously, with all the body language and facial expressions that go with such self-righteousness, that we are a Christian nation founded on Christian principles. When I took my copy of the Constitution out of my purse and asked him to show me where the references were to the Trinity, the baby Jesus, or any other mention Christianity, he became very angry and shouted at me.
I have had all sorts of experiences with people who assume I agree with them. They become very indignant when I do not.
Isn't it odd that they are allowed to express their opinions, but we are looked on with disfavor if we speak up? Yup. Free speech in action, right wing style!

You apparently haven't read the Bible or you'd know that that particular verse does not mean what you think it means. It is NOT telling you not to judge others.

You just knew that eventually this thread would inspire a DUmmy to spin a bouncy tale.
DUmmy murielmnumbers is a pretty obscure unterprimitiven.
I don't recall hearing of her before but she's welcome; we've really needed a new bouncy author since rsmithnumbers quit posting,.

21. No, I live in deep blue
That's even better than a bouncy--he gets to condescend to not just the teahadists but the other DUmmies too.

What?! You mean real life doesn't reflect your experiences on DU?! You couldn't silence someone else's speech with an 'alert'?!

If any of them have a home in rural red hell worth about $150,000 I have a nice place in blue heaven I'd be willing to trade!

That's not much house... 2,500 square feet at the most.

I agree. We are to judge...actions. We are not to judge hearts or souls or spirits.

That all depends on what part of red state hell you want to end up in.

True. Those are city prices around here. Before the housing bubble perverted all sense of what a house should have cost, a 2BR/2BA 2,000 sq/ft house would sell for $150k all day long. I have no idea what is outside of Davidson County, though. You have to drive for quite a way before you get "rural" around here.

Nothing spells lunatic more then you demented morons telling these laughable lies to each other for affirmation.
God you are crazy. :rotf:

Good grief.
That was like a room full of supperballs. :whistling:

Dummies getting desperate. Expect more of the bouncies the closer we get to the election.

One thing we can expect from DUmmies is being sans class.
(and how in the heck was I the first to see this? CCers! Get your heads in the game! ;) )

I love how the DUmmies are an expert on a book none of them would dare read.

That's all my house is worth. It is withing walking distance of Woodstock NY where they can wear tie dye and string beads and munch kale for the rest of their life! Its the rural blue heaven. Get on a bus round trip to NYC for $28! What more could a liberal lunatic ask for? I been thinking of putting a add in Mother Earth News to that effect. Just in case some leftist inherited the mini farm and finds their self the midst of a bunch of hillbilly's. They need my place and I need theirs!

Funny - I live in an area bluer than Stevenumbers balls, yet I have no need to spin bouncies about it.

How dare all those
people bullies have different opinions than you DUmmies.

Is there any chance massive-2-shits might at least go purple now that one of the massive-2-shits is dead and the other exiled?

They're always experts on everything they know nothing about...
examples: assault weapons/ magazines/ clips...
How insurance is supposed to work...
economics/ charity/ philanthropy....
military/ global policies, etc....

That's some pretty delusional posts!!! :mental:
