Love and respect and tolerance only matter if you have the same ideology. Otherwise it's bitter hatred and discourse.WTF?
"Love is the only force capable of transferring an enemy into a friend.
So you throw people out that disagree with you?

I believe history has shown that gun powder and weapons grade uranium have been fairly successful at transferring a few enemies into friends.WTF?

The Welcoming Committee is in place!
Flags and signs deployed as we await the arrival of the motorcycle clubs...
I think I need a drink. Screw that, I know I need a drink. And a cold shower. And a drink. Right effing now.
I extended the hand of compassion, friendship and understanding to several groups of folks seen in the previous pics, and it was worse than trying to teach a pig to sing. Some of them had just returned from some sort of training conference, and from what I could gather, it was about how to attack conservative ideals and idealists. I have never encountered a more closed minded, self important, arrogant group of assholes in my life. And yet, I maintained my kindest, gentlest composure.
The only positive thing I might have accomplished was to demonstrate that our side isn't the rabid dogs that we are portrayed to be. But if I hadn't extricated myself from one of those conversations, I might have proved their concerns to be right.
They all asked what I was protesting, and I quickly corrected them. I am not protesting anything, but rather am supporting the 1st and 2nd Amendments, and advocating for courtesy and civility. Another guy asked why we were angry, yet he was the angry drunk initiating a confrontation with another group of our supporters (who pretty much blew him off). At least I connected with him and got him back to a more rational level of his beer enhanced existence.
I swear to God that I don't know how to reach these people. And I'm done trying, at least for the time being.
Great seeing you guys again! I’ll have to get up to a MD picket soon!
These people are my clients, and I am merely there to remove money from their wallets. I nod my head if they bring anything up politically...I have never encountered a more closed minded, self important, arrogant group of assholes in alot...my life. And yet, I maintained my kindest, gentlest composure.
