Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
Edited on Sat Nov-06-04 06:15 PM by Padraig18
Today, I did something I have NEVER done before--- I loudly, longly, publicly and soundly cursed someone in a public place. As I was coming out of the BP station (pack of smokes), a man driving this ENORMOUS pickup truck with both Bush-Cheney and Keyes stickers on it pointed at my Kerry bumper sticker and said, "Well, I'm glad that traitorous s.o.b. lost".

I lost it.

I whipped around and called him every vile, filthy and disgusting name I know, plus several I'd forgotten I knew. Ignorant. Bigoted. Elitist. Asshole. Motherf***er. Nazi. Etc... . I terminated my tirade by telling him just exactly what I'd like him to do with his truck, bumper stickers and all.

I think it's going to be a LONG four years. *sigh*

1. Did you need stitches?
Just wondered?

3. He seemed shocked.
At first he got red-faced, but the he lost all color, and actually seemed to react as though I'd struck him.

2. I quit speaking to half the people I know. A nation divided.
I quit for now because I know I will rip some f-ing heads off...

9. I honestly didn't know I was capable of doing it.
Something just 'snapped' inside, before that last word had even left his mouth.

:P

18. There's a bunch of people at work I want to snap at
Last night, I had to sit right next to a Shrub voter.

He said he lived in Mass. most of his life and just couldn't stand Kerry. He said he disliked Shrub but had to vote for him anyway.
When people say that, it pisses me off even more.

7. Kerry, traitorous? and Bush honorable?
These fuckheads make me wanna laugh if it went such an outrage. Kerry serves his country with honor and bravery, and Bush goes at great lengths to avoid and then sends good young men and women to die for his greedy friends.

10. Wonder if Mr. SuperPatriot had

been to war himself. Probably got as close as the Chickenshit in Chief. Makes 'em feel real "macho" though, to side with other chickenhawks. What a "Through the Looking Glass" world we inhabit.

Remember: They are scared, because they KNOW it won't last. Hold on to that.

11. They own it, lock, stock and barrel.
No more blaming Clenis. If they mess up, it's THEIR baby!

17. Well, actually
if you look in The Forum With No Name you'll find several people calling Kerry a traitor, although for a completely different reason...

15. If he'd said one word, I might have done that, too.
He had sense enough to shut up. Either that, or he was stunned into silence.

16. You know, it's just par for the course
I knew there would be assholes gloating over it - they treat the whole thing like it's a football game or something. Had Kerry won, I would not have been gloating to anyone - I would have been happy and relieved but I would not walk up to perfect strangers who had Bush stickers and taunt them. Maybe some of us would - I don't know. But it strikes me as so much a part of what they believe in to kick and deride those who voted for the "other guy".

Jackass. I'm glad you didn't just take it. :headbang:

19. He started it Paddy.
I never start fights but look out if someone starts with me. I am sorry that happened to you. It is not good for any of us to be or get that upset but these are trying times. Yes, the next 4 are going to be next to impossible I am afraid. I am so glad to see you back. :hug:
