    Default In My Enemies House

    tongue in cheek with the title, but it nearly felt like it...

    i got invited to a shin dig in the malibu hills yesterday, the theme being automobiles, oil, electric cars, combustion cars, auto makers....with a movie finishing off the evening. i knew dems would be there in force, 1) it is malibu for pete sake, 2) the title of the film led me to believe that some or many republicans would dismiss it. apparently true or the invites when to known dems, probably more likely. i only got it because of family.

    i did not want to dismiss it outright as i have a family member in a high position at one of the companies sponsoring the film, wanted to take the wife to a malibu shin dig (nice place, huge property, wow) and i wanted free food and thought it would be fun to broaden my horizons. i did not engage in open debate there due to the position my family member has, if i had been given free reign, i would have some awesome stories.

    i wanted to share that dems are angry. they hate bush, regardless, period. it is not just a passing " i don't like his politics/policies" it is outright fanatical hatred. i know we see it on this board, but i have never seen it in person in such a large crowd. the fuck him, bullshit, fuck that, never stopped. MFM, you would have loved it!! sitting there on the open lawn watching the film, among absolute beautiful nature, and to be in the middle of such seething hate and anger was quite an experience.

    in the question/answer part afterward -- when i did ask questions (my wife asked the best questions of the night IMO, she never ceases to amaze me how smart she is and of course she has this sweet, cute demeanor which means she gets away with asking stuff that people would probably kill me over, and then she smiles, that smile ....) i never got a straight answer. shocker. she did not either. big surprise. all the answers were: this will happen in the future, in the future, i know not now, yada yada...

    the commitment to obama among these folks is very strong. this election will be interesting as i never detected that the commitment was anything other than = he is not bush

    arguing with joe steel reminded me of another experience yesterday...

    there is an overwhelming, agreement if you will, among these liberals in the malibu hills, that the people cannot think for themselves. and only absolute blind fools would vote for bush. or mccain. to think anything against liberal ideology is beyond rational. to have an opinion that is not shared by them, means only one thing, you have been brainwashed and must be saved.

    I'm glad you posted your dreams in the Lounge, yuk. Otherwise I would've thought you were taking yourself just a bit too seriously!!!!!!!!!

    BTW, I know it might be hard for your small mind but arguing with JS even in your dreams is not healthy for you or the conversation.

    In the meantime, can I get you something to get that shitty taste out of your mouth?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?

    When I watched the Charlie Gibson interview with Sarah Palin it was the perfect picture of how most Leftist Elitists look at conservatives. He was looking over his glasses and down his nose at her with such disdain and what seemed like utter contempt that she should even be in his presence.
    "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
    Samuel Adams

    I noticed the same thing. Apparently many others did too, maybe thousands voiced the opionion.

    I say that because tis morning I heard a talking head on an ABC news show say..."I'm disappointed in how the production crew filmed my friend Charlie Gibson".

    He mentioned the looking over glasses thing..He said Charlie isn't like that at all.

    Seems that even the liberal media is even on the defense.

    I can recall asking you to speak up on certain issues and having you refuse to do so. how does it feel?

    you went to a party with a bunch of democrats. do you want a medal? do you think that if I went to a party with a bunch of republican klansmen in Mississippi that I would have any right to expect anything other than hatred of Obama?

    i do not remember and do not understand how that relates to a private party where a family member has asked you to keep your opinions quiet. maybe you can recall.


    you went to a party with a bunch of democrats. do you want a medal?
    you beg for one almost everyday on this forum. you always bitch about your status amongst "us"

    do you think that if I went to a party with a bunch of republican klansmen in Mississippi that I would have any right to expect anything other than hatred of Obama?
    interesting, your only counter was a known racist group. quite different that going to a party in some hills where people are pushing a car that does not (I think does emit some and does effect some) effect the environment.

    if all you have is klan......

    if you attended a party on the coattails of a family member and, for that reason, felt compelled to keep silent, that is YOUR business, not mine

    you beg for one almost everyday on this forum. you always bitch about your status amongst "us"
    I do not "bitch" about anything. I merely note the disparity between conservative and liberal posters here. If I had any problems with y'all, I'd simply go somewhere else

    I don't just have the klan... I know full well that the members of the republican party here in Maine hate Obama for all that he stands for. Kinda like you do.
