Nearly Got Booted From The Fair Today

Or thought I was going to

....Well it happens that I could not leave an opportunity alone....

While at the State fair today and walking past the millions of commercial sales booth in the sales hall God(LOL) just happened to lead me past the PARTY OF NO!! booth and I just had to say something...

As it goes a person was handing out some mini brochures or their latest piece of HUMOR you know....the pledge...so the person attempted to hand me one and I grabbed it in my hand and then dropped it right back on his shoes...he said something like "what is up yours"....I walked back and said "you know up until 2003 I was one of your group but President Bush put and end to that when he lied about Iraq".....he said he didn't lie he was misinformed...but I said he still signed the off on the WAR did he not?? that makes him responsible regardless...AHHHHH is what came out of his mouth.... He said...is that all you have to BEEF about(actual words)... I said got an HOUR!!....he said go ahead I said why is it your party is only concerned about UNEMPLOYMENT,HEALTH-CARE,ENERGY POLICY,VETERANS BENIFITS only when the Democrats bring it up,and the list goes on....you guys had 6 years under BUSH to address those issues and DID YOU......."JUST SAY NO to him I SAID AND GET IT OVER".......He again was taken back and then a person whom he worked with came over and asked me to quite down... I said why are you suppressing my constitutional rights(threw that line back in his face) he said...well he got on the phone and and I asked him if he was calling the police he said maybe...I said yep you prove their is no new conversation going on in your party except whether Obamas citizenship and religion.... I let him know that they wont pick up a new seat in the state.

Funny thing my voice level wasn't any louder than than a conversation between a guy and a gal in the front seat of a Ford.

At that point my wife grabbed my hand.

1. Good Job! I commend you for remaining calm. They hate that! ha. It reminds me of the post office

story I posted last year and the lady was loud and obnoxious about health care legislation. They hate calm people with facts.

I have to say, you did great with the situation, especially since you were in 'hostile territory'. LOL

Again, good job! You are DU's Member of the Month! (I have officially obligated myself to designate that, although I have no authority to do so but just enjoy the title! hahaha)

:applause:

:kick:

2. Good for you.
And the little cowards couldn't defend their positions so like spoiled brats they run to the authorities to bail them out. What was he going to complain about? 'Officer, someone doesn't agree with me. Could you arrest him please?' :rofl:

3. good job!!
...and I'm sure you could have told him much more! Like why republicans only complain about deficits when it's related to health care but when it comes to starting wars, that's no problem!

Anyway, I'm proud of you.......

4. If indeed your voice level was not louder than a conversation in the
front seat of a Ford, why was it necessary to ask you to "...quite (sic) down..."?
