Crazy redneck trucker!!!
This happened to my friend. He went to visit some friends in Riverside, which if you don't know is a pretty conservative part of California, and he was driving back home towards L.A. So he had to merge onto a lane to get on the right freeway. He had plenty of room to change lanes because there was this big truck trailing a pretty good distance. We figure the trucker took offense at my friend's Kerry/Edwards sticker because the guy sped up really fast so that my friend couldn't get in. My friend decided to try to take it anyway but the truck wouldn't slow down and would have hit him if he had the chance. My friend had to swerve back into the lane he was originally in and luckily there were no cars blocking him, otherwise, he would have probably gotten into a horrible accident. Now, keep in mind, this was a big rig truck hauling crap around and my friend drives a Toyota Tercel. Sadly enough, I wasn't surprised that it happened. Wow, that was pretty fucked up right there. I really need to share that story.

1. That's the thing about RW'ers
Some of these people are so riled up and angry all the time that they are just waiting for a reason to blow-up.

I think they listen to RW radio and just seethe all the time.

I have had a couple incidents with these people and it is not funny. They have gone off.

2. Ugh
They control every branch of the government. Our country is turning into a right-wing bastion of hell. You'd think they'd be happy for a change. Bastards.

4. Some truckers do that regardless of Kerry stickers.
I've had truckers squeeze me out like that dozens of times. Some truckers are polite and let you in, like my uncle (though he's a redneck republican).
