I was sitting at the bar in a local restaurant waiting for a table, and there two guys sitting to my left. The one closest to me is telling the other guy how hard its been being out of work. Its clear he's trying to get the other guy, who appears to be an old friend, to help him in some way.
At some point he says "Liberals hate capitalism and they all they want is hand-outs", which almost caused me to jump into his rant. But I stayed quiet.
He goes on. Hates Obama. He's a huge Sarah Palin fan, things she's a strict Constitutional constructionist, blah, blah, blah ... I really want to say something. But I stay quiet. Then he starts to talk about his unemployment is about to run out and he's not sure what he's going to do after that.
He's on unemployment, and he thinks that liberals only want hand-outs. I really wanted to point out the irony.
Thank God that the little buzzer went off and our table was ready.
