fucking where.

the ignorance and hate or the lack of common courtesy.

I can not tolerate the nonsense either. If they have policy to discuss I will do it - at which time they will be in shock when I explain the ills of capitalism - but I'm not going to listen to racist gibberish.

... While it’s true that Obama did not attend the Army-Navy game .. at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, he was by no means the first president to miss the game ... Lyndon B. Johnson didn’t attend a single one during his entire presidency. Neither did George H.W. Bush. Jimmy Carter didn’t attend any, even though he was a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. And neither did Dwight D. Eisenhower, who had actually played in the 1912 game as a cadet, when he started at halfback for West Point ... George W. Bush attended in 2001, 2004 and 2008, but not in the other five years of his presidency, according to a list of presidential appearances at Army-Navy football games compiled by James W. Cheevers, associate director and senior curator of the U.S. Naval Academy Museum. Cheevers’ list also notes that when Bill Clinton attended in 1996, he was the first president in 22 years to do so, and that when Harry Truman attended in 1945, he was the first sitting president to go since Calvin Coolidge in 1926 ...

I assumed that she was regurgitating a Fox News talking point but spared myself the burden of further details. Give them credit for their recycling efforts.

Happens to me fairly often, an innocent conversation with someone I don't know well...I just change the subject.
My son works PT at a bank while he's in college. He just got home from the Christmas party at his boss's house and told me his boss "is a nice guy but he talks about politics all the time and he's on the opposite side of me." Young people don't always realize that the best way to handle your RWNJ boss is to say "yessir, how about them Eagles?"

just remind her bush didn't go too many times himself

The Army-Navy game compiled by the Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies, presidents such as Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush were not present for any Army-Navy football games throughout their terms of office
In fact Clinton was the first to attend in 22 yrs. in 1996

It makes social occasions very tense for me, because I will NOT get into arguments with ignorant idiots. I support the Democratic Party and President Obama, and I agree with your contempt.

It's a favorite tactic of mine.

I offered to help clean up and was told I wasn't needed. It would have spared me that last bit of conversation.
