You WILL NOT Believe what happened today!!!!
   
I live in a very red county in a very red state (Alabama). I am a rest manager and today I had a customer (lady in her mid to late 60's)who called me to the counter. Following is the conversation:

Lady: is that your van with the Obama sticker on it?

me: yes maam

Lady: I noticed your "veterans for Obama" sticker and your Desert Storm tag and that you were in the Air Force.

Me: yes maam

Lady: I was in the air force and my husband is retired air force. We have voted republican our whole lives, but we are voting for Obama.

she then proceeded to tell me, that she bought some Obama buttons at our local Dem HQ. I said I was going to go buy and get some too. She said they were completely out of everything Obama. She then gave me one of her buttons and a big hug.

After she left, I had to step outside because my eyes started tearing.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A VERY LONG TIME I FELT THERE IS HOPE FOR MY COUNTRY.

just had to share.

It's a large bonfire, so only a few primitives are quoted:

4. You'd be amazed at how many military folks are voting Obama.
   
Being neglected by your government and watching your friends suffer and die in an illegal war will do that to you.

18. Yeah, apparently, Obama does very very well amongst veterans   
   
I'm not sure of the numbers but apparently, because of McCain's horrible record with veterans despite being a veteran, Obama totally wins in the demographic of veterans.

This conclusion is based off of what others have told me but they don't tell me if there are polls that prove this.

Can anyone help me confirm that?

Great. Now they have titles for welfare libs who do nothing all day long.

One of these election years I'm going to have to plaster my car with Democrat/liberal bumperstickers, not bathe, comb my hair, brush my teeth, or otherwise groom myself for a few months, smear some Cheeto dust on my mouth and politically correct t-shirt, and see if I can get one of these bouncys to happen to me.

You know, I've been watching an interesting Freudian phenomenon in Pedro Picasso.

The guy seems to think he's up against a great big huge monolith, "the establishment."

The establishment, as Pedro Picasso perceives it--white Anglo-Saxon Protestant males--has been dead and buried since the mid-1970s; its still-living tatters and remnants have only a microscopic influence and power it used to have.

The establishment today was established by the hippies, yippies, yuppies, peaceniks, beatniks, Democrats, liberals, and primitives, and by 1980, everything on the hippie agenda of the 1960s was legal, or at least socially acceptable.  The old establishment was shattered to pieces; this is the current establishment.

Talk about being behind the times.

Pedro Picasso appears to imagine, fantasize, himself as a "rebel," as "counter-culture," as "anti-establishment,"
but in stark reality, Pedro Picasso is the establishment, while decent civilized people are the "rebels."

Talk about being behind the times.

But of course the primitives are that way.

You know, I saw that, and did a sort of "speed bump" while reading it.

What is a "rest manager"?

Suppose it's something like a "community organizer"?

I have no idea.

Me too. .........."rest Manager" ???????????WTF

These PC job titles throw me for a loop.

The most important thing I do these days is pickup the son and a couple of other boys at school in the afternoon. I guess that makes me a "Transportation Engineer". ....or maybe a "Mobile Facilitator". ....since I pickup kids from the neighborhood, maybe I'm a "Community Transportation Organizer". ...but since I don't get paid anything and they tend to hang around here eating me out of house and home, maybe I'm a "Volunteer Community Social Worker in charge of Juvenile Relocation, Recreation and Other Vital Services".   
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

That's the original poster, sir, not Pedro Picasso.

Pedro Picasso stuffs inserts into envelopes for political groups.

Really.

Sort of like what we have here in Nebraska, where the mentally-retarded are hired to stuff inserts into electric bills and somesuch.

I live in the Peoples Republic of California and am weeing more and more Democrat for McCain stickers.  In fact, I'm thinking of getting one too.  Four years ago, I had a W04 sticker on my car got keyed so I think this will be better for my deductible and still get the point across.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

These DUmmies are really emotional. Every day you can count on at least two or three posts about "I wept", "I weep for my country", 'I am sitting here crying", "brought tears to my eyes", etc., etc., blah, blah. I don't recall seeing an "I wept" post here, or FR, or the other place, or any other site frequented by normal folks.

All this weeping going on now, when they are confident of success with the Obamessiah, makes you wonder how high the sob level may spike when we steal another one.
