22. Liberal in Lawton
I hear you!

Hi, I work in a buidling with about 60 people in it. I have one liberal friend, I know of another democrat and that's about it.

Every conversation starts with, "You know what we outta do? Is round up all them (insert minority, Muslim, alternative lifestyle) and take'em out and shoot them" or "We outta drop a big H-Bomb on the Middle East".

There is a religious station in Lawton from the Christian Center. I listened in one day and heard words like "Papism and you knew them Jews, they like wholesale"

I also like how everyone tries to prove how patiotic and religious they are by sticking as many Jesus Fish and ribbon magnets on the backs of their SUVs and pick ups.

In two years, when I retire from the Army, I am definitely going back to Pittsburgh.

If you are ever in Lawton, I am the only guy in town with a DU bumpersticker.
