For the first time in years I have been given Freeper shit re: bumper stickers

[era veteran]

A man, nattily dressed in his nascar regalia, pulled behind me in a convenient store lot. Inside he came into my space and asked me how I liked 'that' Obama? He had seen my bumper stickers that are provocative on purpose. One Is AWOL Bush, another Veterans for Obama and so on. I said that he was doing a great job. He snickered and said that Obama was making us Socialist. I said it's about time and at least he hasn't started any illegal wars like war criminal bush boy. I am usually a gentle person but this ignorant bagger pissed me off. I ended up saying fuck you and your ignorant grasp of anything political. He went off in a snit to listen to anal cyst rush or something. Sorry I had to rant or blow up. How did Americans get so fucking stupid?

Good for you.

My answer to anyone who says that Obama is making us socialist: Republicans lost the prize for 'small' government under Reagan because they turned their wars into a bottomless pit of spending our tax dollars without any kind of financial accountability. I tell them if we are going to spend all that money I'd sure as hell would prefer it to be spent on US soil to help my fellow Americans than on a foreigner who didn't want our kind of 'help' in the first place.

1. But the problem is, that the HCR bill is NOT socialist.

9. That was the stupid part

A half ass HCR bill but at least it's a start and maybe we can start saving FDR's legacy. These assholes hate any New Deal 1940 or 2010.

12. That is probably why it is half ass.

2. Prior to putting Bronze Star plates on my car, I would get all sorts of

ugly looks and fingers all over NE. None since.

7. I think I'll put my Armor Plate back on

I'm not good at taking shit & I have beaucoup scars to prove it but I'm getting to old for any more trauma.

3. When someone says Obama is taking us "socialist", kindly ask them if their house is burning,

would they call the fire department. If someone was breaking the law, would they call the police? Have they ever called 911? Do they drive on the roads? If their car was in the shop, would they take the bus? When they are older, are they going to refuse Medicare?

Ask them why they are against the US military.

They usually look at you with this quizzical look on their face. Then, just walk away.

4. You'll probably be getting this sort of thing for a while, they've come unhinged.

5. I've found that confronting idiots is bad for my blood pressure

I have a serious case of hypertension and really can't do that at my age.

But if it blows up your skirt, more power to you.

6. Only guy who has done that to me in years had a US flag decal

about a foot long on the door of his Cadillac, smelled drunk at about 930AM.....

I have a "Veterans Against the War" sticker on my car. Some snot nosed

punk was giving me shit about it one day (when the war first started.).

I asked the kid which branch of the military he was serving in and after stammering for awhile, he told me that he wasn't.

I said, "Then shut the fuck up."

10. Perfect

8. Here's my take: Get in their face the way they have gotten into ours.

Once you do they tuck in their tails. I used to be elegant and logical and sophisticated about it.
That just got me cursed.
Now I do what you did and they cower.

11. Jon Stewart said:

"If Pres. Obama is a Socialist, then he's the worst Socialist ever!!" LOL

Sometimes, you just have to diffuse things with humor.
