Timing is everything. My encounter with a freeper . . .
I had just come out of Costco with my cart full of $200 worth of stuff I plan to send to Iraq: baby wipes, toothbrushes, razors, anti-itch cream, socks, books, etc. I had on my tee shirt that has a big photo of OBL on the back & says "Where George?"

I get to my truck, which has lots of anti-Bush & pro-Kerry stickers on it. I was followed by a woman who after reading my stickers, admonished me, calling me un-American, un-patriotic & that my views support the terrorists, not our troops.

I smiled brightly at her & said, "Funny you should say that. I just spent $200 on all this stuff that I am shipping to a friend stationed in Iraq. What have YOU done to support the troops?"

She turned bright red & spun around & walked quickly away. Frickin' bitch.

2. NICE
Way to show them that pro-Kerry does not equal un-patriotic and un-supportive of the troops!! Excellent!

4. Good For You.
Those Neo-cons are so F*cken dumb. We do the same thing at my kids school. We are always shipping care packs for the troops. I'm proud of you.:toast:

6. a rightwing website tagged me - Skittles in the DU - as anti-military
Edited on Tue Oct-12-04 02:42 PM by Skittles
me - born on an Air Force base, raised as an Air Force brat, enlisted for four years in the Air Force, and I've sent care packages to soldiers in Gulf Wars I and II. Anti-military; yup, that's me. What you need to understand, PNR, is that "pro-military" to right wingnuts means wrapping themselves in the flag and supporting an illegitimate, incompetent piece of SHIT "president". That's IT.

11. Zzzzzinnnng!
It's too bad you had all that stuff to marshall. It would have been a hoot and a holler to pursue the woman back to wherever she was going, and ask her why she hadn't answered your question. After all, you answered her stupid comment; the least she could do is respond to your intelligent question.

When we fight, we win. And good for you, PNR. Save your receipt and deduct it from your taxes.
