Jon! You can’t get anywhere with these people on this. it’s beating your head against the wall, or in your case, the desk. It is something I learned very long ago. So instead of getting your blood pressure up and trying to reason with them, just give them a KICK! in the nuts and move on to the next KICK! in the nuts. It’s fun and no matter what THEY say, it does no more harm than reasoning with them. Hell, it may even shame them into a little introspection. Well probably not…
Funny true story…. Many years ago my Republican pal Wire came over to my party garage to share a bottle of Jack and listen to my NEW 901’s do ACDC. I played a little trick on him by giving him three fingers to each of my one finger.
After the bottle was empty and we were done air guitaring to Hell’s Bells I turned it off grabbed a pen and paper, moved to politics telling him I was going to write this down for his coming eulogy if he didn’t stop drinking so much.
So, let me ask you Wire, what if you were black?
I’M NOT
But what if you were?
I’M NOT
Let’s just say you were then.
BUT I’M NOT.
So you can’t even imagine such a thing?
NOPE
Okay, hmmm, what should we do about black people suffering racism?
SCREWEM
What about the homeless?
SCREWEM
What about the unemployed?
SCREWEM
What about the poor?
SCREWEM
And on and on it went. It was that night that I finally edited Republican ideology not down to a paragraph, a sentence or even a short phrase but down to one word. So I put HELL’S BELLS back on, it seemed appropriate.
Lets see if I can find a picture of this good Republican… Ah….
