So...
I was talking to a racist co-worker just now who said Obama is evil.

He said that the election was a result of everyone voting against Obama.

You should have saw the look on his face when I explained that Obama's lowest popularity numbers were the highest of any President since JFK. It was great.

But then I thought, why not ask him when he thought America was at it's best. So I did. And, instead of telling me it was the eighties under Reagan, or in the 2000's under W, he said just after WWII (The New Deal) up through the 1970's. You know, when Democrats were in charge of both houses of Congress and unions were at their strongest. He agreed that it was because of a strong manufacturing base. I didn't say anything, but it made me realize what we're dealing with in 2014.

He hates everything about the Democrats, black people, and unions, and yet he wishes for a time when Democratic policies ruled and America was at it's most prosperous.

2. Well, he is a bit unusual, I talk to the idiots all day and they all say that what happened

with the New Deal and unions, i.e. the greatest time of our history, were all BAD

And that we would all be better off with NO unions, NO social security, NO medicare.

Which is why I say we have to give it to them...

We really do, if we cant get people out to vote who might literally STARVE TO DEATH otherwise, then we have to take the only other route open to us and that is the one of education.

When Kansas becomes USA (they reelected that prick, think about that), when middle class Americans are paying $18,000 a year for healthcare (assuming they can get it at all given the preexisting exclusions will be back) instead of getting it thru Medicare, when middle class Americans are looking at their wall street statement where their FORMER soc sec money used to be, and see that half of it disappeared OVER NIGHT, when, not if, these things happen, righty will have to ask him and herself one question, do I value life over racism?

Am I willing to vote for a party that likes Black people and Muslims, it will mean I wont die, but will I be willing to do that?

We shall see

Did anyone understand what he said?

Reagan had a higher approval rating than Obama during this time in his Presidency.  I'm not sure what the Dummy is even talking about.

That's the thing about talking points, especially lies.  If you don't truly understand them, they simply sound like strung together gibberish.

he said just after WWII (The New Deal) up through the 1970's.

This is what indoctrination, over education, gets you.  Zero understanding of the actual economic factors involved.  No (D)ipshit, it had little to do with your unions (already in decline) and the New Deal.  It had everything to do with cheap energy, excess industrial capacity, pent up consumer demand, being the only intact industrial economy standing.....

Oh, never mind, idiot.

Americans are looking at their wall street statement where their FORMER soc sec money used to be

We privatized Social Security?  When?

Jeez.  It frightens me that this guy might actually be making my Whopper.

Neither did the DUmmy's coworker.

It probably threw off his deep-frying.

These people are unhinged.  I will enjoy each and every day of the next two years.

Every time one of them types something like this, I cannot help but wonder why they think they are all smarter than the rest of us.
