Today at my daughter's school
...my friend and I held a little Thanksgiving feast for the Special Ed class. On the way in, one of the teachers, a real RWger, took notice of the apple pie. I said to him "You can't have any because I am pretty sure you voted for Shrub". He just looked at me and walked away. Petty? Perhaps, but I felt better!!!!

How did you know he was a RWer? Has he been vocal?

I could never really stand teachers that wore their political beliefs on their sleeve in the class room. I had a few RW teachers. Used to annoy the hell out of me.

3. Well......
I try to reverse things in my mind before I commit to them. In other words, had that person done such a thing to you, you would probably be bitching about it on this message board, right? And you would have thought it was completely inappropriate in that setting, right?

I don't know, I would have. Just being honest. :hi:

30. Oh, for God's sake. Don't take things so seriously.
...it was a great opportunity to hand it back to a RWger who has been ramming Shrub down everybody's throat for years. And if you had read the original post, it wasn't for him in the first place.

43. No, the fact that he is a repug
...gave me great satisfaction in withholding the pie. The point is, that the pie was not for him in the first place. He had no business hinting for it.

44. personally , I would have not asked for the kids pie, but you
made it personal by just kicking the guy to the curb. you could have told him that if there was any left you would save him a piece. then just make sure that the kids ate it all up. see that would have been nicer.

46. I don't think you are getting it.
...he wasn't the kids' teacher, just someone passing by, who had no business asking or eyeing something that wasn't intended for him! The repug part was for my pleasure, and mine alone. And, for good measure, this is a man who would never, ever think of giving away anything unless it directly benefited him.

12. Last summer my repuggy MIL was visiting and I took a chocolate
birthday cake to my daughter's kindergarten class. I purposly left it at the school so the MIL couldn't have any, I knew it was her favorite. I made lemon for the party we had at the house which she hates. Petty, yes, but she was a pain the ass while staying with us.

I wasn't aware that there were this many childish folks here. This is very disappointing. My fifth graders handle difficulties better than the examples I read here.

48. I tend to agree
I've seen a lot of that lately. If you don't want to be friends with this person and invite them over for dinner, that's fine. But when you take a pie to a function such as that, it just seems petty. Why not put a sign on it, "Lefties only"?

31. Good for you, Midlo
The scrounge shouldn't be coveting children's treats. But then coveting and taking from the weak are hallmarks of repuke behavior.

In small, little ways, repeatedly done and explained as they're being done, we will convince a few of these beasts that they are socially unnacceptable.

I mean, after all, those Special Ed kids just had funding cut thanks to this creep's vote. He should be buying THEM treats instead of sniffing around to see what he could sneak for free.

38. Exactly!!!
...a friend of mine and myself have had to take on the task of being the room parents because of the inadequacy of funding for these kids. They have nothing! It is remarkable. We have provided them with treats, books, toys, decor for the room, everything! And, frankly, happy to do it because they are so incredibly sweet they are delightful to be with. When the funds are being passed out, these guys are always at the bottom of the ladder. It is just shameful.
