The harder I try to stay out of debates with morons, the harder they seek me out! I had a random run in with a classic white-trash-broken-record-says-what-his-grandaddy-told-him-to-say-might-drag-a-dude-behind-a-truck-over-a-broad-political-difference A$$HOLE today. I swear i can't get my head around this dude's attitude.
I know I rant about this kind of thing too much, and I know none of you here give a damn (that's why I love you guys: my little complacent family) but here I go again...HEY!
So this guy (I'll call him Thunder) and I were waiting for the same elevator and the TV in the lobby was blaring (GODFORSAKEN) Fox News. Some random Senator was whining about the fact that the Healthcare reform bill was going to pass because the dems were going to "cheat" and use a special voting rule that would basically put the opposition in the corner to watch it all happen. Damn it if his crazy ass cryin didn't cause me to chuckle. Thunder catches my amusement and says "This isn't funny man. Obama's gonna kill the whole Country with this mess!" I asked him (WHY DID I ASK HIM?!?) How a little sharing of the wealth was going to kill the country? Wouldn't he like cheaper healthcare options?
The redness spread up from his neck into his face and he said "Sharing of the wealth?!? That's what I'm talkin about right there. That's frickin communism what you are talking about! Let the Chinese have that shit, I'll take good ol' Keepwhatsmineism thank you very much. That's how it's always been done in America and folks who don't like it should move the hell out!" He wasn't done. "And it ain't gonna be cheaper fella! It's gonna be more! And even if it was cheaper, there will be government fat cats deciding who gets what!"
He still wasn't done but right about then the elevator (CAN I GET AN AMEN?) came and I decided to take the stairs. I wanted to ask him what has lead him to believe that our government would have LESS concern for his health than a huge, for profit company. I didn't though because he was just so pissed that I was sure he'd jump me AND I couldn't see any reasoning in this dude.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW A PERSON GETS LIKE THAT?
...Flash?
