So my brother-in-law from Orange County came to our place on the Central Coast for the 4th of July [View All]

weekend. The night of the 3rd we were at our mother-in-law's house for dinner. My brother-in-law starts in with the right wing talking points and I countered them with left wing talking points. That's how the evening went.

The morning of the 4th we all went to a small town parade. There were Marines and firefighters and flags and bands and horses, the whole nine yards. He and I saluted the flags and clapped for the Marines and firefighters.

Than back to our place where we had about 30 people in the back yard sitting around waiting for me and my brother-in-law to finish cooking dinner on the grills. He was doing the wing nut talking points again and turned to the crowd and said, "This is what we fought for!"

I said, "No, this is what some of us fought for." Then I proceeded to put on my Vietnam Veterans base ball hat.

We didn't hear another chicken hawk, right wing peep out of him all day!
