When was the last time you overheard a progressive loudly talking politics in a restaurant?
   
I realized today while at lunch that every single time I overhear someone loudly sharing their political views in a restaurant (or library, bank, waiting room, etc.), they're spouting conservative bullshit. Never have I been in a public place and been treated to a progressive (or even a middle-of-the-road moderate) loudly telling someone else about their political views. It's always some loud conservative just repeating whatever nonsense is part of the month's Republican talking points.

Has anyone else ever been somewhere where that loud talker was at least moderate and not an idiot?

I have lived all across this country in 5 or 6 of the 57+ states that Barry visited. I have yet to hear anyone in a restaurant, library, grocery store, or any place of business loudly talking about political stuff. Once in awhile I will hear loud half drunk guys yammering on about sports in a restaurant with a bar but, never political stuff.
Then again maybe its because I don't walk around with a chip on my shoulder and eavesdrop on everyone trying to have a bouncy moment that I can run here and post about.


I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Everyone here wouldn't give a rat's ass what some commie, socialist, regressive thinks anyway.  I have yet to hear anything from a lib that wasn't already told to them in the first place, is less than 100 years old, and has been tried and FAILED everywhere its been used, INCLUDING HERE!

I heard a liberal screaming about it at the mall yesterday on their stupid cell phone.  They were mad because people were posting bad things about Obama on Facebook. :whatever:

Too bad you couldn't have reminded her about all the venom spewed out over President Bush.

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.
