I lost my lunch today


I was having lunch in a restaurant today, minding my own business. There were four older folks in a booth behind talking rather loudly.

The woman behind me was chattering on and on about how horrible undocumented people are and then one of the guys with her started yapping that he doesn't even think legal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the US. BY that point (Being and immigrant myself) I had enough...just as I finished lunch one of the women started to go on and on about the protests and how horrible they are. Then the guy with her proclaimed that they (the protesters) are paid and making 50.00 an hour. Wow! I'm all for that, that's more than I make.

I asked them where I sign up to protest and how they know about this. Their response was that it was Fox News who told them. I asked where Fox had found that out. Their response was that it must be true if Fox told them. The implication was that Fox wouldn't lie.

By that point I had to get out of there. I swear to God I am leaning more and more for a civics test in order for people to vote. The stupid is so profound. I fear for the US.

doesn't sound to me like this fat German immigrant was really minding his own business - then the other dummies try to one up crap:

6. went to the eye doc today

sat down in the waiting room and said aloud to my wife, " I see congress is having a 2 for one sale. Buy one republican senator and get another one free. Do you want to put an bid in on Marco Rubio?".

She laughed, I laughed, everyone else looked at the floor and didn't respond at all.

I guess my new glasses allow me to see much better than most.

10. They're called "fox truthers". you found out in a restaurant..

I heard that from my son whose dad told him "it's all true" when my son said he wouldn't do some carpentry work for him with fox on.

My son.. "no it's not". The tv got turned off.

16. I literally lost my dinner the night he was elected...I saw the headline on the internet and ran into the bathroom and threw up. And I've continued to do so irregularly after I finish my evening meal. My poor husband has to endure hearing me barfing up what I have just eaten. I am getting back but it still happens now and then and I'm embarrassed by it. But my doctor is kind and understanding. I also have a physical conditiion (low sodium in my systrm.) which I am working on (restriction of fluids).

100% agree.  Republicans now and Conservatives eventually would run every aspect of Government forever.

Not a single bong out of all of those bouncies combined.

Hell, I don't even care about which way they lean, but in order to vote, one should have to pass the test that naturalized citizens have to pass.

I'm all for that. Democrats would lose far more voters than conservatives would.

Who would step outside of the house in those pants?

28. At Christmas I was at the hospital for physical therapy. A large man

Came in and said in a booming voice "Merry Christmas. We can say merry Christmas again." "Happy holidays" I boomed back. Everyone stared at me and moved a couple chairs away from me.

7. FOX NEWS is a propaganda tool. Propaganda is illegal in the US so Murdoch should be sued.

WTF?

[Texacon]

I'd rather see us implement; no federal taxes paid, no vote.

I could be behind that too, with one alteration: ALL military pay should be non-taxable, and ALL military members should have the right to vote.

And former members of the military.

Geez, frank! That one should have had a -warning! If there's a world-wide denim shortage, he and Tobers are primary causes!

It's lunatic sillinesses like this that reveal that a is purely fauxny. Now, if the notional "four older folks in a booth behind" had been laughing at the fact that the paid protesters weren't even paid as much as $15/hour, that would have been realistic. Because real life conservatives have pointed this out on multiple such occasions and mocked the Prog-organizers' hypocrisy.

I'm not 100% sure--don't quote me on this--but he's apparently a street preacher?

This has a ring of truth. They came there for PT, not a political argument.

Nope. You missed them shaking their heads. Being normal people, they had come there for eye checks, not a provocateur making political snarks, hoping for an argument.

[Bad Dog]

This is just more emulation of what they imagine were the TEA Party's actions to turn the country around and bring it back to it's senses the last 8 years.  I hope they keep this up.  Abnormal people acting abnormally is going to have the opposite effect as normal people acting normally.

[Maverick1987]

One of the few things DUmmies are good at - embarrassing themselves in public and then claiming some sort of victory at thier cloud-based safe space (DU).  The one-upmanship is a bonus.

Eight years of "Bouncys" being in the desert in a drought and now the skies have opened up with a deluge of  fables.
