Reply #22: I encountered such a person at Costco right before the election [View All]

She was parked across from me. I saw she had one of those yellow ribbon magnets on her SUV. After loading her haul into her truck, she had the gall to approach me & call me out on my anti-boosh bumper stickers on the very day I was loading up my truck with supplies to send to my friend, a nurse, who is stationed in Iraq.

As I loaded socks, tooth brushes, anti-itch cream, baby wipes, etc into the back of my truck she told me that she was a patriotic American & she didn't appreciate the message my stickers were sending to the troops & that I should be ashamed!

I told her where the supplies were going & who they were for. Then I asked her what she was doing to support the troops & then said, "Oh I see. You have a silly little magnet on the back of your car. That's very helpful to the troops." She at least had the good grace to turn bright red before she turned & walked away. I called out to her, "Hey! You should reevaluate your definition of patriotism." I watched as she backed out & roared off, but she made damned sure she didn't look my way.

What I've found interesting, is since boosh 'won' I've seen more & more vehicles with multiple ribbon stickers. Always the yellow one, and a variety of red, white & blue ones, but NEVER the one that says "Bring the troops home."

How they don't see their own hypocrisy simply amazes me.
