I just had an interesting discussion.
My computer at work has been giving me headaches all week. This morning I called the help desk & while the guy I am talking to is trying to figure out what my computers problem was we are making small talk. He asked me if I had heard much about the bombs in London & I told him I had. He than said "I thought we were all much safer, why the hell are we in that war anyway?".
Then he kinda gasps realizing what he said to someone he did not even know. But I told him I totally agreed & we had a nice trashing of bush while he fixed my computer.
It kinda brightened my sad morning up a little.

1. A great sign in the heartland!
Maybe it's not as red as we are led to believe?

3. Maybe so jack
It seems the bleach has crept into the wash and the red is starting to bleed.

2. my neighbor said he's tired of all the terror talk and no results
He says that if they come, we'll fight them, but he's tired of terror,
terror, terror, morning, noon and night. My rw neighbor chimed in with it will never be normal now and he replied that he didn't care that he
was going to start living a normal life again.

4. I love finding an unsuspected like-minded individual
It temporarily restores my faith until I run across the next assinine freeper.

5. I think a lot more people want to speak up, but are afraid to
I have had a few experiences with people I didn't know "test the water" with me about georgie and when they find out I think the guy is a sorry sack of shit, they go off. It will just continue to grow and soon it will be the norm to be able to freely speak up instead of being afraid.

7. So true! I don't think he really meant to say what he did.
Probably because this is such a red state. He seemed very pleased to find someone of a like mind.
