They can dish it, but they can't take it, that's for sure.

Earlier today, in frustration on the front lines (aside: if it bothers you that some of us engage with the opposition, now would be a good time to ignore or express your CONCERN elsewhere, I don't have time to fight on both fronts...really) I posted that I was going to start referring to them as The republic Party, as an answer to all of the "Democrat Party" bullshit we have to endure time and time again.

Just that: The republic Party



You ought to see them SQUIRM. People who are on full disability (God love 'em) and griping that "these entitlement programs and those 47%ers are destroying us" <<----- I am not kidding

They don't think it's THEM until you hold up a mirror.

Hopefully, we can make some progress. I am fluent in redneck. I beat them with their own stick, er schtick, as the case were.

So far, I'm not trained well enough. However, whenever I hear Democrat party, I stop them and ask them what? What's a Democrat party? They correct themselves and continue.

I tend to treat republican co-workers who have expressed stupid Faux News opinions about the president with the same amount of respect... NONE. I treat them as poorly as they treat the president. They certainly cannot take it, and I love it... I did slip up one time and called one of them an "asshole." I felt bad for about half a second. Then I got over it.

Keep up the good fight!!!
