I got an enraged Rep/Con phone call from my letter to the editor

[Stargazer99]

In my letter I said the whine I hear about the Demos being hypocritical by do their "100 hours" is bogus. The Demos were not being hypocritical but just ensuring the common man will get a break without Republican interference. Between the senate and the social programs killing president I felt the Demos needed to ram the 100 hours down the throats of Republicans. I must have hit a never because I got a phone call declaring I'm stupid. I thought I was pretty smart, I could see through whine about Demos not being willing to share power. In my letter I also asked where this sharing policy was for the last 12 years. The caller was female, probably one of those conservative religious fundy women who aren't allow to think for themselves. Thank God for athiest, life under these controlling know it alls would be hell.

1. Maybe the caller was just a dumb

republican crybaby soreloserwoman? Did you remind her she lives in a democracy and you're entitled to your opinion whether she likes it or not? I would have personally then told her to lose my phone number...

I live in small town and they almost always print my LTTE in our little paper. I wrote one on why * should be impeached and this very nice man called me and told me I was his new hero! I told my spouse as nice as that was, I bet none of the repubs in town will ever hire me for any jobs! :rofl:

2. Congratulations!

I'm a former editorial writer, and that phone call you received is one of the
highest compliments that a writer can experience.

Your writing sparked a reaction in someone. Her reaction was so strong, that
she picked up the phone to call you and complain. Your words created that reaction.

When I was doing writing like this, I looked forward to phone calls like this--and letters
written to the newspaper, in response to my editorials.

Good writers catalyze reactions and emotions. So, congratulations to you! :)
