A semi fictional conversation with a conservative republican.
THEM:: President Obama is has done nothing to get this country back on its feet in the four years he has been president!
Me: Fascinating, George Bush turned it into a total shit hole in less than eight. Takes time to clean up a shit hole.
THEM: I think not, President Bush did and excellent job of uncovering and capturing terrorists. He also made this country a safer place to live.
ME: Really? Monstrous people who intend to harm this country from across the world. They have such little fire power they had to resort to turning our transportation system on its self? How about people right in this county, thats a serious threat! Bush ignores his fellow comrades of terror like Monsanto, Walmart, and Big Oil. I would say they've practically gotten away with murder. Your kids, my kids, the next two or three generations, if man kind can make it that far. I think we were pretty safe to start with, I mean if we didn't medal in the affairs of countries on the other side of the planet they wouldn't want to destroy us in the first place.
THEM: Thats speculation! We need oil, we need retail jobs! We need democracy, and we have to open the worlds eyes to voice of the people!
ME: No, thats not reality. You simply can not handle facts because driving to the big box store in your sedan brings such warm to your heart and car seat. Also, if we needed oil it would be lying around on the surface, not hundreds of miles below it, we need to drill for more oil like we need another express way in New York. What do we know about the attitudes of these other countries? They've been doing their own things since before Chris Columbus was even a glimmer in his fathers eye.
THEM: Your out of your mind! We need expressways, they help speed traffic through congested areas, and China and North Korea needs to know the joy of freedom! Also, I don't drive a sedan. I own and SUV! Its a hybrid.
ME: Hybrids! Ha, in their infancy hybrids got over 45 miles to the gallon. The manufactures were forced to scale back the millage so big oil could keep pumping through Americas viens. Express ways just put traffic up in the sky so it can pollute the earth without pedestrians seeing it. China is one of the most polluted countries on this planet, your cheap house wares from Walmart made it possible.
THEM: Cars don't pollute the planet and Walmart helps families save money.
ME: 70% of all Walmart employes collect public assistance funds. Americans loose their local businesses and charm while paying three times the retail sticker on every item in that store. You pay into public programs, thus you get the shaft every time you pay your taxes. You just don't notice it. You do however complain about high taxes, see the cycle? How are you people allowed to vote, and how does your party even win elections?
